The Fifth Loan in Fayette County

When The Falcon enquired of Capt.
Maddox. County Chairman for the Fifth
Loan organization. be had not heard
from all the districts as to what they
had taken. Several districts had re-
ported nothing secured for the loan at
all. few Others only small amounts.
while four of the fifteen had secured
their entire allotment. These four hon.
or districts are Eight Oakland, Ten
(Rossville), Twelve (Moscow), and
Thirteen (LaGrange). Figures he had
in hand at the time lead him to estimate
that the county has subscribed for
about 100000 of this issue of bonds,
while her allotment was $156. 1000. This
shortage is to be regretted. the first
time the county has fallen under her
quota in any of the drives for funds
made for war purposes from the time
our country entered the war.
From the beginning of the war the
county has put up in actual cash at the
least figure a million dollars, for bonds.
thrift stamps. and other war purposes.
and unlike sections where war facto-
ries were located or where food pro-
ducts were furnished. not a penny Of
the money comes back here 10 circu-
late.
The ladies organization this time, as
In the other campaigns. has given fine
support to the drive and securing a
large share of the subscriptions made
to the bonds, In almost every district

work to do among them in these after
war times, as in all other times. and il
The Falcon through it's columns can
help in that work, 1t will be a matter
of much satisfaction to US. These coli
ored people are here among us, we
have long lived in peace with each
other, We are In ways dependent IN
them and they on US. we must continue
to live in peace together, and this great
after-war reconstruction must be solved
by the very best heads and hearts of
both races. The notes this week are
written by E. A. Fisher. and as the

The destt Of william Gudger occurred
% HE home here In Somerville last
Monday night, between ten and eleven

gis, on January 20. 1888. Moved to
Tennessee in his boyhood days wherehe
remained until grown, taking to wife
Mary Runnels. They lived happily to-
gether for sixty years in East and West
Tennessee. To them were born fifteen
children with approximately one hum
dred grand children, great grand child
rem and great-great grand children.
He reared large family of boys and
girls on the Ineager income realized
from his trade as shoemaker. He lived
a quiet and industrious life in his COM
mnnity. being we'll thought of and re-
spected by both white and black who
knew him. His passing is but he fad
ing of another flower in the evening Of
it's day. The last vestage of beauty
and fragrance has been cast, and floats
away upon the zephyrs to parts un-
known to man. We cherish his mem
ory, we reverence his good name and
follow his example. When in the wake
of service he finds quiet and peaceful
reward in the presence of Our Heaven
ly Father.
