state Credit.

We are afraid some Of our friends at
Nashville are agitating and intro
ducing matters not calculated to en-
nance the credit and integrity of the
State. Our Constitution and statute
books brstle with homestead and ex-
emptiOn laws, and the sense of pecu-
mary obligation is already largely i'm
paired among the people. Everything
that squiuts at even partial repudia-
ton but tends to increase the evil, the
masses holding that if it is right for
the commonwealth to disregard its OBJ
legations, it would be right in the in
dividual. We deprecate agitation of
the subject, because we know it is
fraught with mischief. Athens Post.

In this city on Monday, the 10Th
inst, of pneumonia, at I O'Clock l.. NJ,
Mrs. Nancy Barry, in the 6sth year of
her age.
The deceased was the wife of our
old and esteemed fellow citizen, Ii q.
Barry, Esq, and her death will be re-
ceived with sorrow by large circle of
relatives and friends. She was born
in Loudon county, Virginia, April %,
1907, and while yet child her parents
removed to Roane county, Tennessee,
where she lived until her marriage,
the Sd of January, 1923, when her
husband came to Knoxville, which
has since been her home. While very
young she joined the NJ. T.. Church, OF
which she was consistent member
until the time of her death. She was
the mother OF fourteen children, ten of
whom are. living and all of whom
have reached years of maturity.
The fatal illness was pneumonia,
combined with asthma, to which latter
disease she had been subject. She had
been confined TO her bed since Mon
day, the Sth instant, the greater por-
ton Of which time she was under
medical treatment, but il was not I'M
til her span of life was almost run that
she was regarded as in a critical cOndi-
ton. She retained full possession of
her faculties almost TO the moment of
dissolution, cOnversing nationally,
though with an effort, just few mo-
ments before her death, and expe.
rienced no fear nor expressed reluc-
lance to cross the dread river.
Ripe with years, having almost
reached the allotted three-scOre wears
and ten, she calmly passed away

Among the Grand Jurors now at
tending the Federal Court is an old
veteran OF the War of 1872, now resid-
ing in Monroe county-Michael Grid.
ner. He was borne in Greene county,
on the 24Ih of December, 1894. At the

S. Army at Greeneville under Capt.

ly Sergeant, and brought seventy OF
eighty men to Knoxville and lodged
in the barracks in rear of where the
Franklin House now stands. When
Mr.. Girdner came to attend the FEEDER
al Court last month, he good humor-
eddy called upon the proprietor of the
Franklin House and informed him
that he had called to collect his rent
as he had never surrendered his title
gained by squatting on it in 1913. AT
ter the war ended and Gen. Jackson dis
banded his army, Mr.. Girdner came
back home and soon after married q
daughter Of Capt. Wear, OF Blount
county. For many years he has resid-
ed in Monroe county. He was in

enerson County Finances Reviewed
DANDRIDGE, Feb. II, 1873.


TO tie Editors Of the Chronicle:
Since series of articles appeared in
the CHRONICLE about two years ago
on the financial policy of this county,
this question has been one of more
than ordinary interest to the people of
this county. The idea of jefferson
county claims selling for cash at from
20 to so cents on the dollar was, for
awhile, mystery, and perhaps to
some extent is yet. However, the
matter has lead to an investigation, as
the law directs, of all the officers of the
county by the Chairman of the County
Court 1t is to be hoped if there be
any deficient revenues developed by
this overhauling of clerks and county
officers, from magistrates up, that
there will be prompt enforcement Of
the law by the Chairman and the de-
felt be at once collected and placed in
the Trustees hands to liquidate our
claims with.
Throwing great deal of light
upon the depressed condition of
our claims was deficiency of
collection by our late Revenue
Collector of over twelve thousand dol
lars, as was shown in his settlement at
the last quarterly term of the court,
and reported in the New Market Ne,Os.
When allthese back scrapes are settled,
1t is confidently hoped and expected
that our claims will be at par, and
bring dollar for dollar, and that the
people of old Jefferson that have
boosted so much of their prestige-will
have no longer to submit to the humil-
iating shame Of seeing her claims sell
for 70 cents on the Sl.00, which is less
than . per cent. discount, or so, 900
Of them only bringing $4,000.
One other thing that is just now in
teresting the people of Jefferson is, a
petition that has lately been gotten up,
about Messy Creek, to change the
boundary line between JefiesOrn and
Hamhlen and TO throw Messy Creek
into Hamblen county, so as TO give
some gentleman of aspiring instincts
an opportunity to represent this new
" battering-ram" county that can not
represent Jefferson. ANXIOUS,
