.A Thomas J. Latimer.
An active career was ended, a long,
useful life was closed when at about 6
o'clock last Saturday morning T. J.
Latimer answered the final summons
and went to reap the reward of a life
. well lived and to rest from the worries
and works of this old world. Forev
eral months Mr. Latimer had been con
fined to his room. With his wife he
went to Trenton early in the summer,
thinking the change would be beneficial,
but bis health did not improve. About
one month ago they returned home and
the sick man grew weaker day by day
until the end, attentive physicians, kind
.friends and loving relatives being unable
to restore health.
On Sunday at 12:30 p. m. a large
crowd gathered at the home on Church
street where a short service was held,
then the body removed to Beech church,
,jvest of the city, and a more lengthy
service conducted by Rev. J. L. Hudg
ins, editor of the Cumberland Presby
terian, Nashville, and the remains laid
to rest in Beech Cemetery in the pres
sence of a large number of relatives

In Memory.
An unspeakable sadness has fallen
upon us. Were it not for these
words, "Lo, I am with you always,
even unto the end," our hearts would
be completely crushed. f
Monday morning, Oct. 18, 1915, at
5 o'clock, an angel came down to
earth to the country home of Mr.
and Mrs. Claud Tucker near Fulton,
Ky., and touched the little body of
their baby boy, aged 6 years, 7
months and 18 days, and bore his
sweet spirit away. Little Willard
Lee had been suffering intensely for
about ten days of blood poison. Drs
Boaz, of Harris, Nailling, of Union
City, and Luten, of Fulton, did every
thing possible to alleviate his suffer
ing and restore him to health, but to
no avail.
We would not, if we dared, ques
tion the divine will, nor the mys
terous purpose of our Heavenly
Father. We know that he does all
things well, and ever works to a pur
pose for our good, so we just bear the
blinding darkness as submissively as
our human natures permit.
"We may not know why death should
come
To take the dear one from our home,
But tho our eyes with tears be dim.
The Lord knows why we'll trust in
him."
To the father, mother and little
sister words of condolence are void
of meaning, for words of their angel
baby boy are ringing in their ears
day and night. At every turn some
thing he has left behind is tearing
their hearts anew. You did all you
could for your baby boy, but God has
done more and in a much better way.
It is hard, but God has called, and be
has heard. He is not dead. In com
forting fancy we see now his bright
smiling face before us and we feel
in our hearts and lives his glad
sweet presence still. Gone, oh ye.
t know, forever. But the influence
Jf hi3 little life while here throws
ack its beams of innocence and
-purity, falling into our saddened
hearts and lives and drawing us
nearer in trust and service to God
who has said "I will never forsaken
thee." Willard Lee is now in heav
en with some other who loved him!
even as we loved him. We can fancy
them all together loking this way
and beckoning us to make haste and
join them in the eternal home which
Jesus has surely prepared for those
that love and trust him.
After a beautiful and touching
service conducted by Brother Butts,
of Union City, we laid his beautiful
little form to sleep under a mound of
flowers at Bethlehem Cemetery,
where the sunshine and flowers keep
guard always there to. await the
resurrection morn, where, we trust,.
we'll be an unbroken family in the
home beyond."
One Who Loved Him.
To be Started About Nov. 10, 1915.
And Carried on for 50 Days.
A great agricultural campaign has
been organized by the farmers,
bankers and business men in 83
counties in Western Tennessee,
Northern Mississippi and Eastern
Arkansas.
These eighty-three counties lie
within a radius of 150 miles of Mem
phis, Tenn. It, is not a Memphis
campaign. It will be conducted on
a co-operative basis under the aus
pices of the Bureau of Farm Devel
opment of Memphis. It will be in
augurated about the 10th of Novem
ber, 1915, and continued for forty
or fifty days. There will be thirty
to sixty meetings in each county,
making a total of about 2,500 meet
ings. Organized into the work are
the most prominent interests of the
three States where the campaign will
be carried on, State Departments of
Agriculture and Education, Bankers,
Railroads, Farmers Union, Womens
Clubs, Newspapers., and Commercial
Organizations, assisted by the Inter
national Harvester Company.
A prominent feature of this great
extension work is the plan of hold
ing the meetings at the farm homes
and in the country schools, as well
as in the towns and villages. The
farmers will not have to come to
town to hear the speakers, but the
speakers will go out to the homes
of the people and discuss their in
dividual problems. Sixty speakers
will be divided into crews two
speakers in each crew and routed
in each county according to schedule
Advance men will assist the local
people in each county in making up
their schedules of meetings. The
speakers will -be in a county from
one 'to two days. Each crew will
hold three or four meetings a day.
Each speaker will have large charts
six. feet square to illustrate his lec
ture. These charts will be pre
pared to suit the conditions of the
South.
The farmers and business men of
Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee
are spending $25,000 in money, and
as much in service to carry on this
work.
Booklets have been prepared to
meet the needs of those who live and
do business in he trade territory of
Memphis. There are books on live
stock farming, boll weevil, cattle
ticks, on various crops such as corn,
soy beans, cow peas, alfalfa and les
pedeza, gardening, canning and poultry.
The Memphis Bureau of Farm De
velopment is directing the work
Sixty speakers will be selected from
well known agriculturists thruout
the South men with national repu
tations.
Every one . prominent in his line
These speakers will talk on cattle
hogs, poultry, soil, legume crops, hog
cholera, cattle ticks, boll weevil arid
the things particularly adapted to
each locality.
Here is another valuable feature
of the campaign; from twelve to fif
teen of the speakers will have special
lecture charts to use in the city and
country schools. These speakers will
talk home conveniences and sanita
tion, cooking, canning, home eco
nomics and the things that go to
make better home life.

you do. write to the Bureau of Farm
Development, Memphis, Tenn.

Trees that work for us, or
A Chance for the boys to hunt trees
and make money.
The most valuable land in the
world Is In the Sahara Desert. It is
made valuable by the date trees that
cover every spot where enough water
can be had to make them grow. This
great land value comes because man
has there utilized the productive
power of the tree, nature's greatest
engine of production. It is really
remarkable that we in the United
States have used trees so little, to do
our work for us.
An orchard of black walnuts, or
shagbark hickories, or native hazels,
or Ohio Valley pecans, with trees as
good as the best wild ones now grow
ing would be very, very valuable.
Why don't we have them? Merely
because we haven't noticed and
haven't thought. It is high time we
caught up with the people of the
desert.
We happen to have a million good
Baldwin apple trees, and another
million good navel orange trees, be
cause somebody took pains to tell
about the original good wild tree
that started the million. By build
ing and grafting, Uiat one Baldwin
apple tree has become the parent of
many millions. We i:ow know how
to propagate all the nut trees, and
can turn one good shaghark or black
walnut or pecan or hasel into mil
lions. But where are the suitable
parent trees from which to graft and
bud?. '
To help bring promising nut trees
to light, and thus start a new in
dustry, the Northern Nut Grower's
Association is offering cash prizes of
from $10 to $50 for the best tree of
black walnuts, butternuts, shagbark,
hickories, hazel nuts and Northern
pecans, bend a dozen nuts from the
best nut tree of any kind that you
know of to Dr. W. C. Deming, Sec
retary of the Northern Nut Growers'
Association, ' Georgetown, Connecti
cut, and ask for. particulars of the
prizes and rules of the contest.
We hope some of our readers will
get these prizes, for there are some
very fine nuts produced in the ter
ritory covered by this paper.

Fights With Burglar.
Hickman, Ky., Oct. 25. Harry
Brockman, who runs a small grocery
in South Hickman, was robbed last
night of $70, and badly hurt in an
altercation with the burglar. The
burglar entered the house thru a win

money, amounting to $70, Saturday's
sales, out of his trousers when he
happened to let some silver money
fall, the noise waking Brockman,
who jumped out of bed and assailed
the burglar. Brockman, who is in
bad health and frail, was knocked
down by the burglar, and When he
got up, was knocked down again,
falling against a table and striking
an abcess in his side. . The burglar
then made a safe getaway. The
burglar entered the house about 2
o'clock, bloodhounds being put on
,the trail as soon as daylight came,
I but no one has been arrested.
