years Of war he spent fifteen months
in the Andersonville prison.
He was a man of wonderful energy
and industry-noted as worker for
many years in the community in
which he lived and in which he was
always valued factor. We remem-
Der on the occasion Of a small county
fair held in Lexington, after Mr.. Bo-
rem had passed seventy-five years of
age ne was pursuaded to take part
in an old mans foot race, in which IL
was shown that he could outrun many
men Of half his age. He was our
friend, our patron for many years,
and we had a strong liking for him.
At some time in life, perhaps mid
die age, he professed religion and
joined the Missionary Baptist church.
The funeral service was held in the
Baptist church at Darden at noon on
Wednesday, Elder A. U. Nunnery, Of

In these disturbed times, it is best
for fellow to brood as little as pos
sible over the undesirable conditions
and to make up his mind to "do the
very best he cam" as old Brother Wal
lace used to say, until things get back
to normal. PrOfiteeering may be
rampant in the country, but we want
to think there is a minimum of it in
our own particular section-and not
blame too severely the fellows who
may be doing what we would do our
selves if we had half chance. The
man who is doing wrong win be LASH
ed by his own conscience, no matter
where he may be-unless, indeed, he
be without conscience, in which case
he is the worse off no matter what
his profits. The man who comes
through clean to greet the new day
which must sooner or later dawn, will
be the lucky man; so do not envy the
fellow who is reaping a harvest Shy
hook and crook" even tho he may re-
main within the Law.

L. B. BOREN DIES AT GREAT AGE

Lawson B. Boren, who would have
reached the extraordinary age of 81
years had he lived until the 18th day
of next March, died at his home in
Darden, Tuesday, the 4sh inst, at
1f:45 o'clock a. m.
Perhaps ten years ago Mr.. Boren
was stricken with partial paralysis,
since which time he has been confined
to his home and has gradually de-
clined in strength until the final sum-
mons came at the time stated.
Mr.. Boren was first married more
than so years ago tc Miss Mourning
Flowers and to that union one child
was born, Elder WI. Borcn. who sur
wives his father and lives at Darden.
Frank, as we who know him well call
him, was the only child his father
ever had and he is somewhat advanced
in years.
Mr.. Boren's second wife was
Miss Elizabeth Reed and his third
wife who survives him Miss Nancy
Bradfield.
During the civil war Of 1S6l-5 Mr..
Boren was q soldier Of the Union or
Federal army and was a sergeant in
the seventh regiment Of Tennessee
Cavalry Volunteers. During the four

Jerusalem, "The Holy City" is said
to be irredeemably Enthusiastically
beyond all hopes of sanitary improve
ment, for the streets, with an under
laying with filth which has accumu-
lated for ages, are but narrow and
crooked winding ways. The wall
around the old city is but two and a
half miles in circumference and the
better part Of the city is outside the
wall. From the description of the vile
smells which permeate the air in Old
Jeruselam, it certainly was not in that
city that some fellow wrote the song,
LAST night / lay sleeping, there
came a dream so fair"

A local man said a few days ago,
"No wonder the South is poor--buy-
ing tomatoes canned in Baltimore and
buying brooms made of broom corn
worth $350.00 a ton" Another bust
ness man standing by, said HI've got q
good broom ut 50 cents and make 20
per cent. on it," and he showed the
broom to prove his statement. "But,"
said the other man Of business, "Ev-
cry farmer could raise his own broom
corn and make his own brooms, if
they sold at 20 cents each-and still
make money"

Some time ago there was quite q
stir in the Nashville papers as to
which of the two, Sheriff Wright or
Criminal Court Judge J. d. B. DeBow,
really wanted the anti-whisky and
anti-prostitution laws enforced in the
city and the question was not settled
but now the sheriff has revoked the
commissions of several deputies whom
Judge DeBow classed as among the
best officials who had served his court
and have been leaders in the raids on
houses Of i'll fame and bootleggers.
The reason given by the chief deputy
who talks for the sheriff is that the
men officially decapitated is that
they gave unsatisfactory rervice, for
the betterment of the service and for
the welfare of the publis." AS we hap
pen to know Judge DeBow and are in
clined to believe in him, Sheriff
Wright is entitled to no credit in the
matter-unless he gets Il from the
classes named which were annoyed by
the good officers he has discharged. )

If you are young and just facing
life, do not imagine that you can shirk
anything-you can't. If you are grow
ing old and the most Of life is behind
you, do not imagine that you have
been able to successfully shirk any
debt due to God or man-you have not.
Life is an account you are running
and sooner or later you have got to
pay the price Of the goods you are
getting from day to day and which
are being charged against you on the
Book of Life. II your business is not
straight, some day, any day, you may
be thrown into voluntary bankruptcy
and you had better have some assets.

About the strongest denunciation Of
profiteering comes from DR.. Samuel
Zane Baton, secretary of social ser
vice education for the American Bap-
fist societies. Speaking Of profiteers
and profiteering, DR.. Baton says:
"The church should refuse to touch
the dirty money of these people. No
self-respecting church should toler-
ate in its fellowship a person known
to be guilty Of highway robbery q
horse stealing and the sin Of prof
eering is meaner, blacker and more
sinful than any Of these. The church
must make the viii of God very plain
on this subject"

where Jack Priddy already had a

Mrs. Priddy was woman of strong
mind and body. She was an unceas-

opinion which she did not hesitate to
express. We knew her well during
the twenty-five years she lived here

POTATO GROWERS GOT A
MOVE ON THEMSELVES.

The conference year of the Mem
phis Conference of the SouthernMeth-
odist church will soon come to a close,
the preachers win soon be called into
the meeting of the body to give ac-
count of their work during the year
ended and to be sent where the con-
ference wills for the ensuing twelve
month. Taking time by the forelock,
we want to say a word for the good
man who has served Lexington church
this year-Rev. S. F. Wynn. The more
we have watched Bro. Wynn and come
to know him, the better we have liked
and appreciated him-and with him
his most excellent wife. With such a
woman as Mrs. Wynn by the side Of
any man, in any occupation, life must
needs be success, and we have reas-
on to know that her husband appreci-
ates that fact. Bro. Wynn is not in
the ministry to insure a living for
himself and family, for we are told
that he is independent of his salary
and he is a helpful man with his mon
ey. His one son and two daughters
are fine and he is doing a good part
by them-as he does his best to per
form in his ministerial work. The
Progress wishes for Bro. Wynn and
family the continued health, happi-
ness and prosperity we believe they so
richly deserve-no matter where they
go, and in that we have no voice.

KILLING FROST CAME
LATE THIS YEAR.

The frost of Monday morning,
which did not kill Vegetation was the
first of this fall, with the possible ex-
ception Of one morning in October
when some claimed there were Wis
ible finger prints made by Old Jack
the killer. The date throws killing
frost about as late as it ever comes
in this latitude-in fact Oct. 10th
has been considered the average dsle
of killing frost in Tennessee. We are
having a late fall but the continued
rains have made it disastrous one---
much more so than had the weather
been dry with earlier frost.

In the two or three days it was
possible to dig sweet potatoes last
week, the local growers did not fail
to get a move on themselves and to
house as many as possible Of the val
liable tubers. joe H. Holmes and his
colored man, John Brooks, mustered
sufficient force to dig and house FOL
bushels, Cade Bird got in over 400
bushels, Priest Pearson harvested 400
bushels, Forrest Winslow stored away
something under a hundred bushels,
E. F. Boswell and his son, Hugh, dug
out and put into their house several
hundred bushels from their fields in
town and country-and there were
others. Those who have built potato
houses are fortunate, for the reasons
that there are and viii be no early
good prices and those stored and at
tempted to be cured in any way ex-
cept with heat are likely to be lost.
Those who will be able to hold their
potatoes until considerably later are
likely to get very good price for
them-provided they are properly Sc
lected and packed in hampers.

Vice President Marshall Among
Those to Attend Presentation OF
Governmental Propa ganda Play.

Vice President Marshall and leading
members of Congress. together with all
the officials of the Presidents cabinet,
have been invited to attend the opening
performance of the governmental propa-
ganda play, THE Aftermath" at the
Shubert- -Garrack Theater this evening
Produced by William Moore Patch of
Pittsburgh. this play is called "a drama
of demobiization. and that phrase well
describes its underlying purpose. for it
deals with the effects OF those diseases
of vice which Surgeon General Rupert
Blue of the United States public health
service is fighting throughout the ma
ton. The need for the work that IS
being done by the government in every
state of the Union under the auspices OF
President Wilson'S ringing statement,
1T is not an army we have to make
clean. but a nation is what this play
emphasizes. Though il is said to be a
splendid entertainment, il is a t the same
time an earnest and serious effort to
back up the governments propaganda.
In the churches today the clergy will
deliver special messages to their con
gregations on the need for work sn
social hygiene, as the day is known As
"HeaIth Sunday" by request of the sur
special performance of THE Aftermat tn 80
