LOST MOUNTAIN
The sad news reached the family of
T. B. Guffin Monday of the death of
their son, Newt Guffin, which took
place at Paignton, England, Hospital
No. 21, Sept. 29th, of pneumonia.
They havz had no official notice from
the war department. The notice was
a letter from a Red Cross nurse who
waited on him. While the name giv
en by the hurse was Geo. N. Griffin,
but the identification suits so well the
family is almost sure it is their son,
George N. Guffin. This is a shock to
the entire community to learn of the
death of this noble Christian young
man. He was a member of Midway
Presbyterian Church, upright, intel
ligent and a model young man with
a bright future before him. He was
a graduate of the 7th Dist. A. & M.
College and had been teaching school.
He answered the government’s call in
Auguyst. In September he answered
the final call to join the host of
that immortal throng to appear be
fore the Great Commander of the
universe. His loved ones and friends
“mourn not as those who have no
hope.” The community feels with
profound sympathy for the family.

who has been visiting here, return

To fight and win is great, to march
off the battlefield victorious is the
pride of a soldier, but the greatest
of all is peace. When men stop kill
ing each other and all the sufferings
of war cease, the lull of battle will
die away, wounds will heal, soldiers
will be turned back into civil life,
and the wheels of progress will start
again, business will have to be read
justed, rec®nstruction and the making
anew of our country will have to be
done, many problems will have to be
worked out by our law makers. The
eyes of the world will be watching
us. We hold the key and stand today
as the mightiest and wealthiest na
tion under the sun, but let us not be
filled with pride because of all of
this and forget God, who has blessed
and made us so great; to Him be all
honor and glory.
