OBITUARY.
Hampton C. Robertson,

Son of DR.. J. E. Robertson, of Nor
ristown, was born April 4, 1861, and
died October II, 1881, of lung disease.
The community in which he lives feels
bereaved of one of its most prominent
young men. AS a son he was affection
ate and obedient, which made him the
darling of his fathers heart, and no one
feels so much bereaved as he does.
By his amianle disposition and good
heart he had endeared himself to all who
knew him. No young man had moro
warm friends. He had prosecuted his
studies in the Morristown High School
in such a way as to make him first in the
hearts of his teachers and schoolmates.
His father had given him the advantages
of collegiate training in the University
of Tennessee, where he was in the Sc
nior class, and this year would have
graduated with honor to himself and
friends But while friends were look
ing forward with such high hopes, ex-
pectlng to see him take high stand in
some useful calling in life, God in His
mysterious providence saw fit to order
differently.
The most exalted trait in his charac-
ter was that he was Christian. He was
converted and joiRed the Church while
quite boy, and maintained his integ-
rity to his religion up to the time of his
death. When it became apparent that
he was approaching the end of his earth
lY Journey, he dismissed from his mind
every care of tile world and gave him
self to constant meditation about the
grand life which he was about to enter.
While he would have loved to remain
to comfort his father, who was well nigh
bereaved of all his family, yet when the
supreme moment came, he was found
like faithful Waterman at his post.
When be found he was dying, he ask
ed that something green be planted on
his grave; and when far out in the shaG-
ows of death, throwing his arms around
his fathers neck, he shouted back,
+" Saved through the blood of Jesus ~
Thus died one of the best and most
promising young men 1 ever knew. May
the grace of God comfort the bereaved
father and brother, and bring them TO
a reunion with their loved ones in hea-
ven, is The prayer of
K. G. ATKINS.

Rev. J. S. Hill, of the M, E.
Church, preached in the Southern
Methodist church last Sunday morn
ing. The day, for che season, was
favorable, and a very good congres
cation, with a sprinkle of "the old
guard, heard him. The theme of
his discourse was Faith in Christ,
basing his remarks upon the last
clause of Mark TX. 81. It was a good
sermon and no doubt left an impress
for GOOD.

Town marshal BARLEY, last Fri
day night, arrested, on the arrival
of the 600 passenger train from
Knoxville, young man by the
name of Frank Ricket, whom he
had been telegraphed by the sheriff
of Knox county to look out for, and
who was charged with burglarizing
the boarding house of John Nc
Bride of that place. Marshal Bart
ley esspied his man before the stop
page of the train, serenely seated
on the stepping between the bag
gage car and the engine, stealing
his way. Upon being hauled off
the cars and the cause of his ar
rest stated, Ricket very frankly
confessed his guilt, saying, Il
am the man who broke up the ID
rascal. He was carried back the
next day by deputy from Knox
county. No doubt he will soon
take up quarters in O'Conner's
mansion.

HE OUTPRAYED 'EM.

A Kansas Saloon Keepers Appeal to
the Great White Throne In Behalf of
Women.
At Atchison, Kansas, the women
crusaders visited liquor saloon, and
tried praying to induce the proprietor
of the saloon to close his place. The
proprietor invited the ladies to seats,
and asked them to pray, and then Of
fered himself the following prayer:
Almighty Creator in Heaven! Thou
who hast made the heaven and earth,
and created man in Thine own image as
as ruler of this earth. Whilst animals
are living on grass and water, Thou
dost teach Thy servant Noah to make
wine, and Thou didst not punish him for
making Incorporate use of it. AT the
wedding of Cana, Thine only son, Jesus
Christ, transformed water into wine
when the juice of the grape was exhaust
ed, that the enjoyment Of the guests
might not be disturbed. The great re-
former, Martin Luther, said: He who
does not love wine, woman and song,
remains fool all his life long And
all the great men upon this earth have
been drinking of the wine Thou hast
given Thy children upon this earth. o
Lord! we pray Thee, have pity upon
these women here who are not grateful
for Thy gifts, who want to make Thy
children like the beasts of the field
and compel them to drink water like
an OK, while they dress extravagantly
and lead their husbands by other ex-
travagances not tending to our well-be.
ing, to bankruptcy, depriving them of
all pleasure of this world, yea driving
them to suicide.
30 Lord! have mercy upon these
ladies; look upon them; they wear not
even the color of the face which Thou
hast given them, but they are SHINING
against Thee, and, not content with ma
ture paint their faces. o Lord Thou canst
also perceive that their figure is not as
Thou hast made it; they wear humps
upon their backs like the camels; Thou
seest, D Lord, that their head-dress
consists of false hair, and when they
open their mouths Thou seest their
false teeth. 0 Lord! these women want
men who will patiently accept all this
without using the power Thou hast
given to man that all women shall be
subject to man. They will not bear the
burdens of married life and obey Thy
commands to multiply and replenish the
earth, but they are too lazy to raise
their children; and o Lord! Thou know
est the crimes they commit. O Lord.
have mercy upon them and take them
back to Thy bosom; take folly out Of
their hearts; give them common sense,
that they may see their own foollshness,
and grant that they may become good
and worthy citizens Of our beloved
city of Atchison. o Lord! we thank
Thee for all the blessings bestowed up
on us, and ask Thee to deliver us from
all evils, especially hypocritical women,
and Thine shall be the praise for ever
and ever, Amen"
