telling the people over the county, that

not all, | propose to discharge the du-
ties of the Office to the letter of the
law. / shall deal firmly and promptly

OBITUARY..
Mrs. Martha Moore Organ,

The funeral of this good woman was
by the writer, July Is, 1874. She was born
near Petersburg, Va, Feb. %, 1905, and died
in Montgomery county, Tenn, July II, 1874.
She was married to Thos. Orgain, Esq, Sep
tenn Der %, 1922. At the age of about ID years
she protested religion and Joined the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, in which she re-
manned throughout life. Her death was
unusually triumphant. "Rejoice-I am al
most home-I am welcome" were her last
utterances, as she quietly, and with mar
Velaps presence of mind TO the last mo-
ments 9f her lie, feil asieap III JesHs. The
most eminent trait Of her christian oharae-
ter was meekness, the most difficult. per-
haps, of all the fruits of the Spirit to pos
sess and retain. This, however, was her
most prominent characteristic throughout
a career of more than half a century in the
service of God. To this fact, all who have
known her in the past bear testimony. She
was the mother of eleven children, only
four of whom survive her. So uniform and
exemplary was her christian course that all
of them, except those who died in infancy,
were induced to give their hearts to Jesus,
and became membars Of the CHURCH Yilb
her, but the arowniHg work of her life was
that of influencing her husband, after
nearly fifty-fwO years of prayers and tears,
to seek and obtain "the pearl OF great
price" Having lived long enough TO see
this, the fondest desire of her heart accom-
plished--which event occurred about three
weeks before her death, at the remarkable
age of rs years and 10 days-she was then,
like simeon when he looked upon the in
FAINT Savior in the temple, ready 20 depart
in peace, She was taken sick while minis-
tering to the temporal comfort of her hus-
band, who is at present afflicted with par

AT a Grange meeting It is related

Ar 0 Grange meeting it is related
that a resolution in favor of purchas-
ing only homemade fabrics for cloth
ing was introduced, p'hereupon a gen.
tleman replied in opposition to the
resolution that he favored economy,
and for that reason wanted the whole
world as his market. He would ad-
wise the mover to do as friend Of his
once did, who brought home duck
and put it with his other poultry.
When feeding time came he found
that the duck, ON acconntof its large
bill, gobbled up about three times as
much corn as the rest Of his fowls.
He at once remedied the difficulty by
taking out his knife and whiting the
ducks bill down to a sharp point.
Now, sir" said the speaker, you
have some little ducks daughters at
your home, and if you want to secure
economy you must white down their
bills And you, worthy master. have
a little duck at your house, which
makes it necessary that | should also
this process of whiting
down bills to your notice as the
best means of securing economy in
family expenditures" 1t is needless
to say that this pointed and practical
speech decided the question and open
ed the eyes of many parents whose
little ducks. with their large millinery
and dress-making bills have gobbled
up moro money than all the rest of the
family have used during the past year.

EDITORS CHRONICLE Having seen
a communication in the Tobacco Leaf
of this week, from Observer" rela-
tive to the tobacco prospects in Dis
tricts No. S | and 2, we are forced to
the conviction that Observer gets his
reports from grapevine" authority.
So far as III. Dunlop is concerned, we
are not authortatively informed, but
we question whether Maj. Henry has
the half of Twenty-Five acres with a
good stand. The prospects of w. FL.
Crouch we know nothing of, but he is
a tobacco buyer. Some farmers in
No. 3 are mentioned in Observers re-
port as belonging to Nos l and 2, and
we have only to say that G. r. Glenn
ents and j. M. Harris are the only
farmers in District No 3 who have a
prospect for tobacco crop. The to-
bacco which has been planted during
the recent partial showers" is nine-
tenths dead while three out of four
had no plants. The ''something' that
Observer speaks of must have been
sun burned cabbage plants or half
dried potatoe slips.
Many of the farmers are now sowing
turnip and grass seed in their tobacco
ground, and it is folly for any man or
set of men to disguise the fact that the
tobacco crop in this whole section is
almost a total failure, without chance
of change or redemption.

THE INTERNATIONAL CAMP-MEET-
ING.-Through the kindness of our
esteemed friend, r. III. Pickering,
who is ever on the alert to furnish us
any item of interest, particularly in
regard to church matters, we are placed
in possession of some New York da-
lies, in which we see some glowing de-
scriptions of the great camp-m meeting
which has been going on at Round
Lake. New York. The Troy Wing
has a lengthy correspondence, from
which We make the following extract:
1.-The morning prayer meetings were,
as usual, full of interest. The fore
noon services were held in the taber-
nacle. Bishop James came forward
ard introduced the Rev. Dr. Plummer
Of Tenn, who shovel himself equal
to the occasion. He made a few per-
tinent remarks before taking his text,
in which he expressed himself happy
at being thus fayorably introduced by
the Bishop, whom he had learned to
revere. He had introduced him once
before, thirty years ago, when presid-
ing over his conference in Tennessee,
the last conference under the old
regime, into which he received him on
trial as an elder, SO he considered him
self "a connecting link" His text
was from Matthew xvii: %: What
shall | do then. with Jesus which is
called Christi" The doctor stated
that this was the language of a COVER
nor in trouble, and then showed the
causes of his trouble His descrip-
ton of the sufferings of Christ as he
was scourged was wonderfully true to
life. He caused his audience TO see
the bent form and the barred back Of
the Son of Mary" the strong Roman
soldier, the cruel scourge and the deep
burrows it made, as plainly as they
could have seen it with their natural
eyes. Strong men sighed and wept,
and women sebbed aloud. He then
made a practical application of the
subject, saying that those who neglect
Christ now cause him just as keen
anguish as he had then endured, and
exhOrted them to come to HIM and be
saved"
The incessant rain and storm, at in
tervals, does not deter the thousands
from congregating and worshiping IN
der the temple Of the armament. DR..
McFerrin was preaching under large
teRt to an audience of $500, when the
canvass gave way under sudden gale.
They repaired to the grand stand aRd
continued worship. Every passing
train is crowded with people to attend
the meeting. 1t is a grand meeting,
aud we wish We had space to give a
detailed account of it. Our ministers
from Tennessee are put forward fire.
quently to preach to the vast assent
lage.

How many of those who complain
of hard times, have won the right to
do so, by first practising that wise
economy which wastes nothing that
can be utilized, and buys nothing fer
which there is not some pressing ne
eessity? Fewer still, is the number of
those who have even attempted to es
innate the waste on the farm, in the
stable, the kitchen, the garden and the
orchard. Yet all these will admit that
economy is virtue and the key to
prosperity-the trouble being. that they
have 20 idea of what economy is.
Thousands of acres of land have been
sold for taxes when the owners, know
ing the tax must lie paid and when,
have wasted in needless expenditures
perhaps in hurtful indulgenaes-two
or three times the amount of the taxes,
and then, with an unmanly want of
candor, charge the consequences of
their own disregard of a prudent econ
omy, TO hard times and the oppressive
laws of the State. How many spend a
day in town, when their presence was
worth money at home, and how few
leave town without leaving behind
them a few dimes which, added to the
value of the day lost, and neglect and
waste at home during such absence,
would, with a few repetitions of the
same thing, suffice to pay the tax upon
the homestead? As a general rule,
the loudest complaints are heard from
those who are least economical, whilst
the careful and thrifty make the times
easy to themselves. by wasting moth
ing t;.at can be utilized No imitation
of curreaey can s1ake times easy with
those who have nothing to sell

LETTER FROM DICKSON COUNTY.

DEAR CHRONICLE Thinking it
would be of interest to some of your
readers to learn how We are progress
ing in this part of the moral vine
yard" is why l venture to write this
letter Crops are looking very well in
this immediate vicinity, but on the sur
rounding ridges they look pretty bill
ious." There will not be third of a
crop in this county, taking an average
In some spots it is great deal bette,
than others. Here, for instance, We
have had plenty of rain, and the com
pany for which l work have five hun
dred acres of as pretty corn as l ever
saw, though neighbors living in two
miles will scarcely make any. The
bottoms bordering on Cumberland and
Harpeth rivers will fail to make a
half crop this seasan. Nearly all of
the farmers failed to plant any tobacco
on account of not having the seasons.
Besides, they were little discouraged
on account of the low price of tobacco
this year and are afraid it will be the
same way the next. Therefore some
would not have planted had they had
ever so good seasons.
Cumberland Furnaces still blowing,
and doing very we'll, Notwithstanding
the iron market is greatly depressed.
They intend to run all this year and
stop next. should the market not i'm
prove. There are great many hands
employed here. Should they stop
under the present circumstances,
chickens would have to roost higher"

Death Of Major Joshua Elder.

When an old and highly respected
citizen passes away, we deem them
worthy of more than a passing notice.
The subject of these lines was, at his
death, the oldest citizen of Clarks-
vile, being born here January 81,
1895, and died, near the same house
where he first. saw the light of day,
July IL, 1874, aged SO years. 5months
and II days. IL early life he was a
merchant, and then formed that guild
ing principle that he retained through
out his maturer years, strict integrity
and unfinching honesty of purpose in
all the transactions Of life, always de-
manding his rights and cheerfully ac-
cording the same to others, as mat
ter Of principle, not for the sake of
gain in reputation or purse, for but
few men did as little for show as he.
Inheriting considerable property, he,
unlike most of the present day added to
it, until he had secured an ample com
petence. Without ostentation, he was
a friend to the poor, as many in our
midst can testify. He was frugal, that
he might be enabled to be charitable
in the proper sense of the term.
In 1919 he was united in marriage
with daughter of the late and la
mented Judge NJ. A. Martin. Three
sons and the mother survive him.
He leaves large estate to be equally
divided between them. AN honest
man, the noblest work of God, is his
epitaph. His remains
were followed to Greenwood Cemetery
by very large cortege of friends
His wife, children and relatives may
feel assured that they have the sym
pathy of our entire community.

AFTER a period of nearly three
months, characterized by whitening
dryness and intense heat, our city was
visited, on Thursday morning last, by
a copious rain which we hope reached
every dry spot in the county, replenish-
ed every empty cistern and will make
once more green the crisp heritage of
fields and pastures. Tobacco is past
talking about, but few more such
rains, at seasonable intervals, will make
some corn where none has been ex-
pected, within the last week or two.
