Edward w. Maddox

This community was grieved Monday
morning of this week when the report
was given out, that Edward w, Maddox,
one of the city's most prosperous and
successful business men, had met death
at his own hand.
Born and reared in SomerviIle and
for number of years one of its best
business men. successful in his business,
with many friends and pleasant and
cungenial home surroundings, TO the
world there appears no reason for such
step, and yet who knows the inward
reasoning of the mind that studied and
shaped this end? Ell Maddox grew up
here from boyhood. clerked IN the store
of his brother when quite young, later
entering the grocery business for MN
self and succeeding. He was just at
the age of mans greatest activity.
the bloom of his manhood, popular with
friends, prompt in all his business deal
ings and beloved by his family Of
brothers and sisters and other near rel
atives.
His business was in excellent shape,
according to reliable information. there
was nothing known that weighed upon
his mind. His health had not been good
for some time, but he was able to be
about his usual business duties.
In bis death the community loses q
good citizen who had a bright future In
prospect, and his family loses q kindly
and devoted member. He leaves two
sisters. Miss Lucy Maddox. and Mrs.
]. c. Leach. both of this city, and two
brothers. Harry L. Maddox of Somer-
vile and Julian Maddox. of Sunni i,
Mississippi.
Burial was in the family lot in the
SomerviIle Cemetery Tuesday with ft-
ting services. and a splendor Of floral
offerings were placed by friends upon
the mound of earth which marks bis
LAST resting place.

QUESTION CLEARED UP
Somerville Readers Can No
Longer Doubt the Evidence

Again and again we have read of
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or that medicine.
But Somerville's pertinent question has
always been HAS anyone here In Som
erville been cured?" The word Of q
stranger living a hundred miles away
may be true, but it cannot have the
same weight with US as the word Of
our own citizens, whom we know and
respect. and whose evidence we can so
easily prove.

The County Teachers Pay

A number Of the county teachers
seem to err in the resolution of the
county board authorizing pay for them
during the county quarantine. There's
olution authorized pay for the time OF
SUSPENSION Of account Of the county
quarantine only, less one week. But
numerous teachers have lost other time
for one reason or another. several be-
cause they could not get the required
number Of pupils and have sent reports
to members Of the board for the time
so lost and orders have been issued for
their pay. As many as were known to
the chairman and county superintendent
have been held up, pending correction
Of these errors. but teachers should be
careful that they report for no such
time IS not actually taught, except the
three weeks Of the county quarantine
Teachers who have made this error
in their reports win hastenthe payment
of their salaries by sencing at once q
corrected report to the cfEice Of the
county superinte ndent The board
wants TO be perfectly fair with teachers
in this lost time. bat i certainly ex-
poets as much fairness Of the teachers.

Frank Cannon Buford whose war
history is told in the above clipping
from the Memphis Scimitar is a pro.
duct of Fayette county. He is a son of
Hon. f. e, Buford who represented
this county in the legislature of 1909
and since moved to Memphis, Young
Buford's mother was Miss Corinne Can
non of Hatchie Hall who has written
many a communication TO the columns
of The Falcon over the name 'Hatchie-
bottomite" and who was one of this
county's most beloved women. His
grand father was DIR. William j. Can
non, one of the county's leading physi-
clans and largest landowners, one Of
its best citizens, coming here from
Raleigh, North Carolina, in ante. belum
days, and practicing his profession for
almost half century in the vicinity Of
Hatchie Hall. his country estate in the
fifth district, where one of the country's
most splendid old mansions stand yet.
His paternaI grandfather was Hon.
Thomas Buford of Giles county, promi-
nent there as a railroad builder, and
staunch advocate of public improve
ments of every kind. lending his elo-
quence and his means to encourage and
interest the public in such public beEe-
fits. 1t was of him that Hon. W. B.
Bates said in public address that all
he himself knew Of Democracy came
from the lips of Thomas Buford. He
represented Giles county in the leSisla-
ture and later his son, Hon. F. G. Bu-
ford, father of Frank G., represented
the same county. and later Fayette
county.
The many friends of yound Buford
and his estimable parents and grand
parents in this section viii read with
interest the aoove story of his exploits
as soldier of America and will re-
joice with his father and other relatives
that he will return physically perfect

Letters From Our Boys

Dear Sister;-Your letter dated the
9th of August came yesterday and the
one on September the 4th came this
afternoon and as ever was 80 glad to
hear from you.
Yes Johnnie is still in Co. l. don't un-
derstand why his people don't get his
letters regular. He said today that he
wrote home at least once a week. No
Bedford is not in our Co. but he is in
our division. / saw him about two
weeks ago, he is Sergeant in the sal
wage dump.
Well | suppose Emil is over by now
How does he like the idea of coming
to France.
Well | will try and tell you little
about our experience for the past few
days. We have been in some actual
fighting this time going lover the top
as the boys call it. We marched from
our little camp last Saturday night for
the front, Arrived in the front line
trenches about O'Clock Sunday morn
ing and had rest until 5, and believe
me we sure felt like resting for the
roads were very muddy and we had
been marching alnight. So at 5 o'clock
our artillery started their barage and
out Of the trenches we went. Fritz al
so returned barage about the same
time ours started. That made il little
disagreeable for US. but the boys didn't
seem to care the least bit about his
shells. Quite number of his machine
guns were firing on us but it was such
a smoke between the lines that they
didn't have much effect. We continued
on to his front lines and captured some
thing like hundred prisoners, very
good work for our platoon of about l6
men, also captured number of ma
chine guns.
You should see the Hun comingup in
front Of our guns with their hands up
shouting "kamarad. This was about
8 O'Clock so we had to wait there until
our barage was raised further in front
of us, suppose we were there about an
hour. Then we continued further at IL
O'Clock we had reached and captured
the Hindenburg hill, that was as far as
We were to go and you can imagine
about how we felt, just little bit tired.
| was number two on the machine gun
when we started but my corporal was
wounded, so number one had to take
his place and was number one the
most of the time.
The tanks took a great part in the
battle. Fritz doesn't like the tanks
very much for they are so hard to put
out of business. Quite number of
Americans were killed in the drive.
We had about (censored) casualties, on
ly (censoredD was killed. | think the
rest of the boys will get alright in
few days. was very fortunate didn't
even get scratch altho | had some
real close calls, the good Lord was with
me. We stayed in the trenches until
Tuesday night and marched back to our
camp, stayed there all night and yester-
day we came about ten miles over here.
for rest. We will be here for quite
a while to rest up.
| am feeling fine now, hsvn't had
anything to do today but sleep and eat.
| know you are tired of reading this
so | had better stop for this time.
