This town was shocked and inexpressibly saddened oil Saturday evening by the sudden and rather unexpected death of Dr. Julian E. Kaufmanu, head of the Kaufmann Drug Co., president of the Citizens' Telephone Co., and vice-president of the Home National Bank. A week ago _; today he was seen on our streets and, 1 although unwell for several weeks, no one dreamed that the end was so near. Truly, in the midst of life we are in death. i Just 38 years old, in the prime of his usefulness, he was cut down. A life full of promise is ended; a loving husband, a kind and indulgent father, a true and noble friend i9 no more. Why it was to be so is beyond our comprehension, but it is 9aid that "death love9 a shining mark," and on m Saturday evening at 7.30 o'clock, he passe.d'into that bourne from whence no traveler eyer returns. The end " was as peaceful as the close of a beau- ^ tiful summer day, when daylight fades into night with increasing loveliness. Heart disease was the imme I diate cause of his death. J He was a member of one of Lexington's oldest and mo9t honored families, being a son of the late Tyler W. fc Caughman, and his whole life has r been spent among us. About fourteen years ago he was married to Miss Addie Kaminer, daughter of Mr. and a Mrs. George A. Kaminer, who with -two sons, Eugene and Christopher, survives him. Dr. Kaufmann helped to organize the Home Bank and was for a number of years its president. When the ^ Home Bank was converted into a Na- ^ tional bank a little more than a year 8 ago he resigned the presidency of the (j institution, and was made vice-presi- fi dent of the H:me National, a position fl he held up to the time of his death. He also helped to organize the Citi- fl zens' Telephone Co., and was it; pros- M ident. fl He was a prominent Mason, Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellow, being a member of the local orders. He was , also a member of the Royal Fraternal J Union, being the only member of this | order in Lexington, except Mr. G. M. | Harman. fl The remains of Dr. Kaufmann were p laid to rest in the family plot in St. f S:ephen's cemetery on Monday at 11 fl o'clock in the presence of one of the fl largest congregations ever assembled n in Lexington. Simple services were | conducted from the home by the Rev. 9 PT1 C? Dnsntn nnotAH Ap Qf Q nVi D fl ' U S X. O. UlUWUj pasiui ui kju.

The floral offerings wer many and handsome, conspicuous among them being a large wreath of pink carnations from the Knights of Pythias, one of white from the Home National Bank.
