In Sweet Memory.

Samantha (Roberts) Lochridge
was born in Weakley county, Tennes-
see, Feb. 6, 1881; died at Latham,
Tenn, March 10, 1918; age 81 years,
one month and 10 days. She was
married to Sam Lochridge May %,
1897. To them was born born three
children, all Of whom are living, as
follows: Mrs. Obert Reed, Johnnie
Lockridge and Josie Lochridge. Sa-
mantha-as she was Familiarity called
by those who knew her best, pro-
fessed religion and united with the
Cumberland Presbyterian church at
Good Springs in early life, where she
lived consistent and faithful men,
Der until death.
At the time of her death she was
the only living child of John C, and
Mary |. Roberts, both of whom have
long been gone to that better coun-
try. Samantha leaves, besides a sor-
rowing husband and loving children,
many relatives, host of friends and
wide circle Of acquaintance to
mourn her demise. She was pos
sessed of a lovable disposition, one
that easily made friends wherever
she went. Her life has been such
that she was widely known and uni
versally loved. She dreaded not the
approach of death, and frequently
referred to the hour of her going
hence where she would be done with
pain and suffering. So conscious
was she of the APPROACH of the "Pale
Rider" that she made the most mi
mute arrangements for her funeral.
No doubt she could have said with
Tennyson in his immortal poem,
Crossing the Bar"
"Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me;
May there be no moaning of the bar
When l put out to sea.
When from out this born of
Time and space; a,
I'll soon be carried far,
May I meet my pilot face to face
When l have crossed the bar.

FOOT BADLY MASH
ED BY LARGE LOG

B. F. Wilbanks, young man en-
ployed hauling logs for one OF the
mills west of Sharon, came very near
losing one foot on last Thursday,
when large log caught his foot on
the wagon tire, all but severing the
foot above the ankle.
The log rolled from the wagon,
catching Wilbanks' ankle between
the wagon tire and the log. The
ankle was mashed into pulp, and it
is doubtful if the member can be
saved. The injured man was car
rieG to Jackson, where an effort is
belp,-s made to save the foot, but the
physicians in charge doubt this be-
ing done. The log, it is said, was a
huge one, containing about 500 feet
of timber.
Wilbanks is the son of John w.
Wilbanks, living several miles north
Of Dresden.

from information received by the
q. S. Food Administration from the
principal grain growing states, it ia
now possible to announce with fair &C
curacy the amount of wheat saved last
harvest by improved methods of han
ding. According to official calcula-
lions, efforts toward cleaner threshing
saved fully 100000 bushels of wheat
with corresponding savings of other
small grain harvested and threshed in
a similar manner In addition, other
states, though unable to furnish fig
ures, reported greatly reduced harvest
losses.
The figure for wheat alone is equiv
alent to seven o%ne-pound loaves OF
bread for every person in the United
States and represents food that form
erly was either an absolute loss or
was recovered to only a slight extent
by poultry and livestock. While op-
portunities in this branch Of %conserva-
ton were large, the quantity Of grain
recovered surpasses early expecta-
lions. It In noteworthy also that re-
suits were secured principally through
voluntary cooperation.
