Obituary..
FAIR PLAY.

Died, at her home in Winchester. ON the
morning of the 2itl inst. Mrs. Priscill
Hunt, after II long ana painful illness.
which she bore with much patience and
christian resignation. Mrs. IL. was born
in this county, on the 18th cay Of June.
1923. We had no acquaintance with her
before her marriage. but it is said that
when Il young lady she added Il yiyacity
and tone to the circles Of the young and
gay with whom she associated, and con-
tributcd much to the taste and refinement
so peculiar to the society around Winchcs-
ter in its earlier and happier days. We
have, however, intimately known her for
% years, and have never been acQuain-
ted with Il lady who was possessed Of finer
traits OF character in all that adorn the
female heart and mind, as well as those
clements that constitute the ailcctiOnatc
wife and mother, and make the home of
the family Il happy one. We could say
very much on this subject, and believe
she here filled the full destiny of WOMAN
the sphere in which the finest qualities OF
her sex are displayed. She was Il member
of the G. i. Church, and has been. we be-
lievc, ever since we have known her. Mrs.
II. was possessed ofUn amiablc, yet II pos
tive character, always free and unc0n-
cCaled in her social relations, and "a UNI
wavcring in her friendship. 1t was ever
apparent to her friends that her tastcs
and sentiments were much cultivated {;
indeed the energy Of her nature rendered
this necessary, for whatever she took an
interest in she pcrScrcred in to the ac-
compliShlAcnt OF her purpose. Always,
however, rather feeble in health and deli
cate in her organism, obstacles sufficient
to restrain many Of her sex from the ac-
tive duties of lite. still her innate cncr-
gy mace compensation for physical ina
bility, ana we are told by those who saw
her often in her last hours that she was
herself in spirit when disease had wasted
her body almost to humiliation. The
finest virtues, however, that adorned her
character were those that shonc out in the
wife, the mother, and the christian. In
these relationG wo sum up the highest
purpose Of her being, and for thom we
must believe she receives the well done
of her God. and the joys received for those
who do His will. NJ.

A Salary Grab in II Small Way.
Editor Mme JoRrRaI

Lditor H,me JoRyRal
Section No. A. of the Act passed by the
last Legislature for collecting the revenue
for Tennessee reads rs follows in regard to
payment Of Assessors:
Be ID fuvther enacted, That the Assessors
ana Clerks OF Courts shall receive such
compensation for their labor and services
required by that Act, not otherwise pro-
vlded for, rs the County Court may allow.
Pr0Uided, however, that the pay Of Asses
sors shall not exceed fifteen cents for each
person having taxable property listed. and
five cents for Il person listed for a poll tax
only.
We are informed that the County Court
for this county elected as Assessors all
Magistrates with the exception of one or
two; they also being the guardians of the
county, and can appropriate the means IL
any way they may like, and By that au-
thority, in direct violation of the law.
they voted themselves double pay for as
scssing the taxes. This was done after
they had accepted the Office and had done
the work.
We see that Il great many members Of
Congress have appropriated their black
pay and salary grab" to various cduca-
tional and charitable purposes. Who will
be the first OF our Assessors to surrender
their'back pay to some worthy object ?
Gentlemen, don't al speak at once. Take,
for instance, district MOL. The Assessor
heretofore has received $2j for assessing
the taxes, but by this doubling process
he received this year SllS. 55,l. This is
the same County Court that has persist
entity refused to have bridges built across
the rive, and refuses to exempt new ma
chinery from taxation, so as to encourage
manufacturers.

Deaths.

Died, of cholera, ut his residence, about
four miles north of Winchester, on the
2Sth inst, Solomon Hopkins, in the G3d
year of his age, Mr.. II. had prcmonitory
symptoms of the disease for several days,
not thinking seriously of danger until
active symptoms, when he sank rapidly
into collapse.
l.. l.. Matthews died on Saturday last,
after alingering disease OF several months,
He was one Of our best citizens, and well
known to all the old citizens ofthc county
His death deserves more than a passing
notice, but rs we are about going to press,
further remarks are %precluded.
Died ut his home, Il few days ago, in
this county, Richard Little. We learn that
his disease was congestion.
Little Tommie, infant son of Mr.. Z. K.
and Mrs. Angie Murrell. died on the
morning of the 9th inst, of cholera in
fantum, aged four months and six days.
Little Tommie came among us,
Like II ray Of bright sunshine
Like Il rosebud just unfolding,
But to bloom in Edcn's cline.
Is it wrong for us to wish him
Back into this yale of tears"
Where there's less of light than shadow,
And where h0peS give place to te0rS?
No; rather let our precious baby,
Escaped from such a world as this.

In that land of endless bliss. l..
