l deem it expedient to issue no Teach
er's Certificates until after the Limestone
Institute. 1t is expected that all the
teachers of the county, and all who anti
pate teaching in the public schools will
attend this destitute.
In as much as the scholastic year closes
on the 3lst, day of August, it is natural
to suppose that all certificates expire on
that day. In the absence of further in.
structions from the State Superintendent,
| shall so order.
Teachers who have certificates may
consider them valid until after a re.
examination. / shall select such times
and places as will be mos. conven ent to
the teachers of the several districts.
| wish the teachers to understand that
there is a pressing demand for better
teaching in the public schools. In the
examinations, therefore, l shall keep this
matter prominently before the applicants
for certificates.

OBITUARY

JERUsnA JONES, wife of James X.
Jones, and daughter Of Joseph l.. Hale,
and Martha Hale, died at johnson City,
May 3lst, 1874. She was confined for
the long period of five months, with that
dread disease, Consumption. She was
married April 9th, 1871, she and hus-
band professed religion in Christ in No.
vember, of the same year, and united
with the Baptist Church, anG we're both
baptized at the same time by Rev. n.
w. Baxter. and ever after she was known
to walk worthy of the vocation where's
with she was called. JERUsnA, was a
lovely daughter, and aTectiouate wife,
was loved and esteemed by all who knew
her. Notwithstanding all this, she was
snatchcd away in the very bloom of youth,
being only twenty years, two months, and
fourteen days old, on the day Of her death,
and when her last moments came, and
she found that she must die, she called
her friends around her bed and said she
would soon be with Jesus; calling to her
father she said there was only one thing
that troubled her, and that was she never
heard him pray. Then it was that the
father yielded to the words Of an only
daughter, calling on the Lord to have
mercy on him, she then seemed to rise
above all earthly things, and the spirit
took its fight at 4 o'clock p. m.
Tho following lines were composed and
read to her just before she died, which
she requested to be published.
Come all my friends that's dear to me
My last request | make OF you,
Prepare to meet thy God inspeace
And ere long l shall see all of you.
This world I leave with no regret;
My mimi Is placed on that above,
My Jesus 1 shall see In peace
AID ever bask ina world Of love.
I know I'm young and in my prime,
But that Is all the same to me;
[ soon shall reach q happier cline
And all loved ones shall love to see.
NV mother, d word I have for you,
Grieve not for me, when | am gone,
But strive to live q christian life
And Dol u joys shall be In ne.
And now, dear husband, what shall | say
TO one who has ever been kind to me;
Remember your dying JERUsHA's word,
My Jesus il the one l long to see.
And now my last and only request
Is to dear father and only brother,
Oh ! seek the Lord do not delay
To meet dear sister and only daughter.
Then in a world of bliss we shall be
Never to part each other again,
Our joys there shall be complete
And with our Jesus will ever reign.

Of duty toward the people Of the list Con-
cressional district Of Tennessee, growing
out Of the glaring inconsistencies that
have characterized his political career,
causing him to lose his influence for good
and to leave the District virtually un.

Legislature. Three times have the Re
nublicans Of this District returned him
to Congress, aud each time with numcr'
Gus promises on his part that someshing
should be done to advance tie interests
of his constituents, but his whole career ID
