MARY A. CALDWELL, died at the residence Of
Ter father, in Polk county, Tenn, April 18th,
Is02--wifc Of w. I. Caldwell, and daughter Of
Y. and 8. Crittenden.
NY loving wife, my bosom friend,
The object Of my love;
Has left me and my babe, and gone
To God above.
Too bright jewel on earth to stay
With me aud my sweet babe;
Therefore the Lord called her away,
Her precious soul to save.
Sleep on, dear wife, and take thy rest,
Happy is thy sleep;
God called thee home; lie thoughtit best;
Why therefore should weep?
Ihave to weep. my Mary dear,
Because that thou art gone;
am lonely volunteer,
50 far away from home.
Would dear Mary, the time was now,
As when sought thy love;
Joy and youth was on thy brow,
But now thou art above.
Farewell, my loving, angel-wife,
Thou cannot neer return to me,
For thou hast passed from death to life,
Time to eternity.
l hope to meet thee beyond the sky,
Where parting is no more;
For there we shall never die;
No pain nor sosrow will we know.

OBITUARY.

Died, OF pulmonary consumption NJ
the residence OF Esquire Boyd, Polk CO.,
Tenn, Mrs. Julia TCSSELLs In her -
year. Mrs. Tunnel was the daughter of
NJ. j. Carol, of Virginia. She was we'd
ded 10 Mr.. N. J. Tunnel in the year IS.
Subsequently they moved to the State OF
Missouri, where Mr.. Tunnel died. She |
ing no relatives to aid her there, she was
induced TO return to Tennessee, where |
she had friends. She made her home at
her brother-in.law's, Erby Boyd, sr. In
the year 49, she made profession Of
Presby terrain Church, and lived consis-
up to the day Of her decease.
The writer was not acquainted with sis
ter Tunnel in her earlier life, but was fn-
miliarly acquainted with her about eight
years, and he is prepared to say of her
that she was christian, if good fruits are
evidence. Naturally she was ardent in
disposition, industrious in habit, and de-
voted to friends; but when these good ma
tural qualities were ruled by religion she
became at once true follower Of Christ,
a much devoted mother, and true friend
to all. Her words were gentle and sin
full, and her life was smooth and hopeful.
Sister Tunnel had been afflicted
for years. yet she bore all her sufferings
with patience, and murmured not at the
ways of Providence When able. she was
q faithful attendant at Church. For some
three years previous to her death she was
not able to 60 to Church, but she often
talked of her past walks about Zion, and
insiata1 that ha trr,tor pl,n,,1l /,
religious services at the house where she
had SO often worshipped God. The writer
frequently visited the family with whom
she lived, and as often talked with hel
about her condition, the cause of Christ
and her prospects of heaven, and he can
say truly that he always found her calm
and full of christian hope and fortitude.
She often said that she knew she must die
soon; but that death would end her suf.
ferings and be the gate to glory. The
writer saw and conversed with sister
Tunnel about two weeks previous to her
departure, and found her fully ready and
we'll prepared to die. The next news he
heard of her she had died and was burr
ed. His first thought was, "she is gone
to rest in Heaven, and his prayer was O
may see her in glory. Sister Tunnel il
gone, gone from earth
She left two daughters, sisters and bro
theirs, and many much beloved friends tc
mourn her loss. Let me say, children
you had good mother, one who prayed
for you on her sick bed and often begged
you to be good. o! strive to meet you
mother in glory. Your best friend is gone
trust in God. Sisters and brothers All,
friends, weep not for your sister ant
FRIENDSHIP is happy now. All you can d
to gain her society is to prepare to die.

Rev. I. N. Bradshaw, Principal.
TIME NEXT SESSION OF THIS INSTITU-
i ton will commence on Monday, the LIST day
O. September next, under tho direction anu pro-
fessorship of the Rev. Mr.. BRADSHAW, who hos
had charge of it for the last ten mouths
Tho Trustees, in making this announcement,
would most especially appeal to all citizens who
have daughters to educate, to send them to this
institution. Mr.. Bradshaw has had charge of the
school for the last ten months, during which time
he has rendered ample, and, we might say, uni
yersal satisfaction to the Trustees, patrons and
pupils. There never q better time for men to
educate their daughters than nOw-mOney is
plenty everything farmer raises bears two
prices and the Tuition to this School is the same
that it was when everything was at low figures.
What excuse can there DO now for n man who
neglects to educate his daughter? None. De-
cause here, in Cleveland. n healthy locality, VIC
have an Institution, with excellent Instructor,
aided by sufficient corps Of Assistants, to in
struct all who may favor it with their patronage.
Let one and all put their shoulder to the wheel
and build up such School as vii! be of incalcu-
liable benefit to us and an honor to our towp.--
We have the building and we have the teachers
the balance devolves upon the people. We hope
they may nobly perform their duty.
Tho Trustees are thankful to the citizens for the
patronage bestowed upon Mr.. Bradshaw hereto
fore, and are glad to know that under his admin
istfation the Institution has not lost any of the
enviabe reputation it sustained in "the better days
of the Republic"
