Three years ago, debate of the bill

high old time. Several attempts were
made 10 demonstrate that Georgia,
when she went into the wal of the
rebellion, forfeited all rights to any
claim on the general government. 1t
was also urged that she should moi
be given the money because she had
not paid the direct tax levies at the
commencement ofthe late war. These
attempts failed entirely to stir up 8

Although having lived 70 be eighty.
i've years old, Colonel Williams had
been a man of strict temperance and
uniform habits. never intoxicated and
never playing a game Of cards for
amusement. He attributed his sue
cess in life in a great measure,te the
advice given him b. his lifetime friend
aud advisor, General jackson. With
him, next to the sweet memory OF his
wife and the love Of his children, the
name Of Andrew jackson YVES most
sacred. He was a living evidence of
what has become historical, thai
General Jackson's friends were devo-
ted to him ina manner exceeding even
the devotion Of Napoleon followers.
In 1850 he, with his own hand,
wrote up the early historical events Of
Davidson county, giving families,
their marriages and deaths, together
with localities, roads and many Incl
dents Of early life in Davidson county,
which for detail is without a parallel,
coming from n mans recollection OF
old times.
Colonel Williams was above medium
size, remarkably erect, with a strong
face, full Of decision, as we'll as benev-
olence. He was one Of the most
companionable Of men, quick Of
speech, accurate of thought, chaste Of
language, exceedingly neat in person
aud IN his memoay OF past events and
people he had no peer. He was a
living library Of all that has taken
place in Tennessee since 1909.

WASHINGTON, December 7,-Rep.
resentative E.John Ellis of Louisiana,
was met to day by the Uourier-Jourhs
correspondent. In response to ques-
tions:
MIR. Ellis said II don't think there
will be any tariff changes this session
or any great reduction Of internal
revenue. We must go slowly. The
matter OF payments on account Of
pensions should cause hesitancy before
the internal revenue is hacked off in
big chunks. There is no telling TO
what figures pension payments will
run. We must look before we leap.
We must consider where the revenue
is to come from before we do away
with the taxes that are bringing it in.
Another thing, the Democratic party
is now on trial; We must show the
great industrial interests Of the coun-
try that they are safe in the hands Of
Democracy. Any one who thinks that
the country is in love with the
Democratic party is woefully mis-
taken. 1t is not in love with us. 1t
is simply disguised with the Republi.
can party and gave it a whipping.
Because it did chastise the Republi
cans is 40 reason to jump at conclu-
sions that il is willing and anxious to
take the Democratic party to its
bosom. Every Republican who voted
the Democratic ticket lastEfsll did $50
With a mental reservation hal he had
one more ballot to last before the
control Of the government could be

KNIGH Is OF HONOR.
The Good Record Of West End
Lodge nurI"g the Pres.
emit Year.
Nashville American, 10.

Last Friday night the Trustees OF
West End Lodge. No. l24 Knights Of
Honor, received from the Supreme
Lodge an order on the Supreme
Treasury for 5000, the amount due
Mrs. Grace Byers on the death Of her
husband, Len L Byers, who was a
member of West End Lodge. This is
the fourth death benefit paid to
West End Lodge during ITS existence
Of nearly eight years, though having 3
very large membership. This speaks
well for the work of the medical ex-
aminer. The Order of knights OF
Honor is one CT the best in all respects
now in existence. Numerically, it is
the strongest Order OF the kind in the
United States, over 10000 mem
bers being enrolled. II pays
two thousand dollars 10 the
widows and orphans Of deceased
members. For the year ending May
l, 1882, it disbursed in payment Of
death benefits the enOrmou sun Of
$2,238,00O.
There must have been eighteen
assessments levied during the yeal
1882, making the cost to a knight
under 45 years, just nine dollars pei
thousand.
The order does this b~ene6cent work
in an unostentatious way, many people
not knowing that there is such an
order.
The few facts stated here should
put the uninsured to thinking Every
man who can afford it should be in
some way insured for the benefit o.
those dependent on him.
