Obituary,

death is swallowed up in victory. o
death, where is thy sting? o grave where
is thy victory2 Thanks be to God, which
giveth us the victory through our Lord
Jesus Christ" These words were i'm
pressed upon our mind on seeing good
woman die. Mary A. Nichols, wife of
James Nichols, of Marshall, North Caro-
lima, and daughter of ii. A Barnard, was
born April 10Th, 1926: was married Sep
TENDER 10th, 1916 and died of drOpsy of
the chest, wi hout q struggle, December
9Th, 1878, aged 81 years, months and 20
days. She made a profession of religion
when quite young, and attached herself to
the Methodist Episcopal church. She was
never known to dishonOr her profession,
neglect her duties, or forget her obligations
to her church. Her house has been home
for all ministers of the gospel, from her
marriage to her death-none were ever
turned away, but all were made to feel at
home when there. No ordinary sacrifice
was considered too great for her to make,
to accommodate them, and in every way
minister to their wants. She loved the
church and her ministers She was a kind,
loving, and con6ding wife an indulgent
and faithful mother, an obliging and good
neighbor, very sympathetic in her nature,
so that all who knew her loved her. The
writer has known her intimately most OF
her married life, and never heard her at
any time, speak hard of any one; but
seemed ever ready to cover their faults
rather than magnify them She had been
greatly afflicted for several years, yet she
never murmured or seemed to complain,
but calmly and quietly bore it all, and by
her actions ssid, the will of the Lord be
done. SO lived, and so passed away good
woman. All mourn her loss, yet they feel
that their loss is her eternal gain.

Items from MaryVIIIe.

MARYYILLE, TENN, Dec. IL, '78
Mr.. EDITOR: Our town and COM
munity sustains a great loss in the de-
parture of Prof 5. z Sharp. He is
one of the best educators our State has
had, and has for ten years made his
home at this place, laboring success
fully in teaching and training the
young, first as Principal of New
Providence Institute, and then as
Professor in Maryville College, having
charge of the normal department.
But his great skill and we'll deserved
reputation has called him to a greater
and wider field of action, being chosen
President of College in Ohio. He
and his family started Tuesday morn
ing for their new home. They leave
many sweet memories, and many
good wishes go with them.
The subject of education is brought
to mind In connection with educa>
tors. Our excellent County Superin-
tendent, DR.. franklin Elliott, has
called an Institute for the teachers of
Blount county to be held at this
place the 26,h, 9th and 28th of the
present month. He has an excellent
programme, and q good corps of teach
CTS aSStB lcu 10 lbC INHERENT Topics.
All educators in and of the county
will meet hearty welcome in our
hospitable town, and every BODY will
endeavOr to make it as happy Christ
mas as they could enjoy elsewhere.
DR.. Elliott is one Of our live men,
deeply interested in the cause of edu-
cation, and the welfare of the young.
He is an enthusiast on the sui let.
coupled with the ability TO throw his
enthusiasm into effective work.
We are having something of tenn
perance revival just now. Gu
Thanksgiving day the subject of tenn
perance came up in the course of re-
marks in our Union services, where
upon il was agreed TO hold temper
ance meeting the Sabbath night fol-
lowing, which was well attended and
again adjourned to meet the next
Wednesday night, being the appointed
time for Col. J. J. Hick man, to deliver
his temperance address. When the
time came there was a large attend
ance and Col. Hickman organized a
lodge of Good Templars with
about fifty members. The pub
lie meeting again adjourned to
meet last Saturday night, when q
Union Temperance Alliance was or
gauized by the members of the differ
ent churches and elected as officers,

tary; Mrs. Julia COppock, Treasurer.
ought to be done in our
town in this respect. On public days
IL is too often the case that our women
can not venture on the principal
streets on account Of the profanity and
wild conduct of drunken men.

A Look Through Fanz's Slaughter
House.

House.
Mr.. EDITOR Having business al
Mr.. Fauz's slaughter house at Knox
Vile, curiosity Induced me to look
through it. An elegant brick, so feet
! by 100. 1t is situated on Second
Creek, near the Clinton pike, in the
suburbs of the city. The location has
been well selected-on good stream
of water, easy of access, with dry
rolling stock pens. The hogs are
driven from the pens by little boys
up an incline plane to an apartment
outside of the gable end Of the house.
Here they are killed, Knocked down
and stuck, and from thence rolled
down into the scalding watts of water
at 14O0 Fahrenheit. The hogs are
lifted out of the watts 10y lever, which
a man can do easily with one hand,
and landed on floor, where they are
scraped, then attached to the hooks
or "gamb rel sticks" aud pushed off
where they swing, ready for cutting.
From this point they are easily moved
on toward the place of cutting up, the
hooks moving on rollers. Here they
are taken down and cut out and
placed upon wagons and taken
to the place of sailing and packing.
The lard ia rendered in large caldrons.
rhe sausage is ground by a steam en-
CINE, which is attached to the estab-
lisement, and packed in neat boxes of
some twenty-five pounds, ready for
shipment. There is a small apart.
ment exterior to the main building
for drying the bologna sausage.
All this work goes on simultane-
odsly, killing and cleaning at the rate
of four hogs per minute. 1t will be
observed the live hogs are made to
transport themselves up to the place of
death, gravity taking them on down
through the various processes until
landed on the dray at the other end of
the house, no expense of labor in lift
ing the heavy porkers, all the latest
Improvements being adopted. The
hands (men, women and Ooys) were
familiar with the work of their par
ticular departments, and were all
