Revenue Collector of Davidson county,

fcient the Office is at present virtually va
cant, although, we believe, Capt. Walsh
continues to receive State and county taxes
when offered him. If 80, every dollar he
receives since the official discovery of the
insufhciency of his bond, is taken contrary
TO law, and might just as well be paid TO
any other man in the county or 10 any
wayiarer from Maine 10 Vermont passing
through the city. Every person paying
him taxes while he acts under an incompe-
tent bond makes himself liable to repay
the same at the instance or suit of his sue

alton in Tennessee, no reasonable man can
certainly be troubled with disposition 10
pay his taxes more frequently than the
law requires, and in order that no snch ne

should keep their Stale aud county taxes

DIR. James l.. Armstrong.

The following report Of the Committe on
Obituaries was presented 10 the recent
fession Of the Grand Division of the Sons
Of Temperance, and adopted by a rising
vote:
The venerable James L. Armstrong, P.
q. W. T., is no more His tall and manly
form has passed away from the walks of
men, and now lies in the silent tomb!
His days Of personal usefulness on earth
are ended, and he has gone 10 the bosom of
the Great Patriarch above TO render an ac
count of his stewardship. The old war
horse has laid down his armor and gone to
his reward Bat his example remains,
and his works of faith and labor5 of
love- i'll the cause so dear to our hearts,
will ever be brigh! and green in our
memory.
Bro. Dr.. Armstrong was an old and
faithful worker IN the cause Of temperance
He became an advocate Of the principles
of temperance Gas early az the year 1912,
while in the service of the United States
army, az Surgeon. during the last war
with Great Britain. Personal obser.
walton OF the pernicious effects follow
ing the use Of intoxicating liquors, led
phlm 10 oppose, at that early day when the
use OF stimglaGts was almost universal, the
traffic and use of all Intoxicating beVer-
ages. He united with every temperance
society that came in his way, and re-
mained faithful to the pledge to the end Of
his life. When the Order of the Sons of
Temperance was organized in Tennessee,
he united with it a. soon as a Division was
cato hlIabal =. ,.iob hnr hDpI and IA
more than any other one man to keep it in
successful operation. He soon received, at
the hands of his brethren, all the honors
they could confer, and was soon promoted
to a seat in this Grand Division, by which
body he was elected, in the year 1858, to
the highly honorable office of Grand Wor-
thy Associate, mark of respect at once to
his long and faithful services in the cause
and his upright moral character.
DR.. Armstrong was born in Green-
brier county, Virginia, on the I'd of April,
1882, and died at his residence in Fair
field, Bedford county, Tennessee, on tie
9Th of April, 1868. He emigraled with
his father to Kentucky when about twelve
years of age, and from Kentucky TO Tennes-
zee in 1904. So that for mere than three
score years he was a citizen of Tennessee,
and for more than half century an active,
faithful, unfallering worker in the cause
Of temperance. We deplore his loss but
We are consoled by the fact that his labors
leave sweet odor among the people with
whom he lived, and in the order of the
Sons of Temperance. Blessed be God,
though the workmen fall the work goes
onp
We refer not TO his services TO the COM
munity in which he lived as a physician,
in the cause of internal Improvements, or
in the social relations of life. He died "a
he had lived, an honorable, high-tOned |
gentleman, aud this Grand Division sympa-
ihizes deeply with his family, relatives and |
friends in a loss we so deeply feel 10 COM
mon with them.

of Greenwood Seminary, located near that
town, as follows:
"This renowned Institution of Learning,
with the accomplished Mrs. n. Lawrence
Lindsey as Principal, is now rendering
able service in the cause of education.
Mrs Lindsey, in addition to her duties in
the recitation room, devotes her special
care to the moral, social and physical train
ing of her pupils. The higher classes re
ceige thorough instructions from Gen. A
p. Sewart-whC, nevertheless, continues
his connection with Cumberland Universi-
ty. Prof Amende presides over the music
department and instructs in the German
language. The elegant Seminary buildings
have Just been doubled in size, and will
now accommodate, as it is the purpose of
the Principal to receive, larger number
Of pupils than ever before. With such an
able Faculty, surrounded by every charm
which nature and art can give, with the
finest private library in the South, better
place for tlR education of young ladies
could not be found. We learn that over a
dozen applications have been received with
in the past week for places for the next

Radical Flag Blown Away.

10 the irresistible Democratic gale which
was blowing through the city Friday night,
the Grant and Colfax banner and streamer
which adorned the equality pole on the

but symbolizing the storm and detestation
in which Radicalism is held by an OPP
pressed and defrauded people.
