FORMER PHONE MANAGER
HERE DIES IN TENNESs

:
Friends here who remembered him
well were grieved to learn of the
death at Lebanon, Tenn, of Edward
N. Fuqua. formerly manager of the
Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph
Company's plant in Richmond. He
was located here about the year 1902,
is is said. The Lebanon Democrat said
this of his death:
When the news reached the city
Wednesday morning that our fellow
townsman, E. N. Fuqua, had passed
away at Nashville hospital of
Bright's disease there was universal
sorrow among the citizens of Lebanon
where he was born forty-four years
ago.
A few years ago he married Mrs
Maud Green, with whom his home life
was ideally beautiful, each being de-
voted to the other. His heart broken
wife had only been called to his bed
side few hours before his death.
Mr. Fuqua had been employed by
the Cumberland Telephone Co., as
manager of the local Office for &c
years, during which time he applied
himself strictly to his work and was
one of the most competent managers
in the services Of the company. He
was liked and respected by his fell
low employees, any of whom would go
the limit for Mr.. Fuqua.
Besides his widow he leaves three
sons, Edward, Robert and Jack, as
well as step-son, Walter Green, of
Nashville, and one ,step-daughter, Mrs.
Geo. Meade of El Paso, Texas, whom
he loved as much as if they had been
his own children.
The grave was more than covered
with flowers, the beautiful tokens of
love, esteem and sympathy of his
many friends.
The active pallbearers were: ]. r.
Thomas, J. D. Kirkpatrick, w. j.
Baird, J. B. Tolliver, Jr., E. d. Har-
well and L. A. Eskew.

GOVERNOR CLEMENT
. APPEALS TO VOTERS
Everyone Should Register and Rebuke
Democratic Extravaganza Next Tues
day-Roll Up Big Majority.

RUTLAND. Oct 27.-At the request
of Will H. Hays, chairman of the lie
publican national committee, Governor
Percival w Clement has issued an urg-
ent appeal for record Republican vote
at next weeks election. The governor s
appeal reads as follows -
At the election next Tuesday. the is
sue is whether this country shall return
to competent, responsible, honest, con-
stitutional government or continue in
power a party which has not only dem
onstrated its incapacity, but whose head
the president of the United States, has
steadfastly resisted all efforts to return
their government into the hands of the
people.
The issue of the league of nations is
not paramount. In accordance with the
pact between Cox and Wilson the presi-
dents pet notion has been forced to the
front Now. faced by certain and over
whelming defeat. the Democratic leaders
are using the league as a mask; they
cannot face and defend the waste, graft
and ineficiency of their partys govern
ment, so they seek to disguise the true
issue.
Nothing in history has ever equalled
the stupendous cost of the World war
and nothing in the history of the United
States has eaualled the stupendous
waste and folly of the Democratic admin
istration of that war, In addition, the
creation of new federal positions, the
padding of payrolls, the duplication of
effort. the endless red tape in every de-
partment have created a situation which
can only be amended by returning the
national government into honest and ca
pabIe hands.
The state of Vermont will be heard
from Tuesday, Nov. ,, in no uncertain
terms. | believe the nation expects our
state to make that verdict 50 plain and

and for the senatorial and representa-

make it resound throughout the nation.

FOREST FIRES ARE
 DOING MUCH DAMAGE

A number of forest fires havo broken out in the Tusayan for est during the past week and have kept the forest officials working over time to prevent tremendous damage being done to the timber. One of the fires breaking out back of the hill east of town, burned ever some thirty acres before the fire fighters succeeded in getting it under control. This was start ed from a sheep camp, but at there were two men present at the camp, the officials were unable to attach the blame on either one.
 Other fires that have been started have done little damage thanks to the prompt action of the Forest Service. However, with continued dry weather. every possible precaution need be taken to prevent fires get ting started. The cooperation. of the general public is neces- sary if the Forest Service is to succeed in preventing heavv losses of property with possi- ble loss of life, in the forests.
