Pic Me and Dramatic Entertainment.

On Wednesday last, eight of us,
members of the Mathes Cornet
Band, had the pleasure of attend
ing the pic mic and dramatic en-
tertaInment at Bethesda, about
seven miles distant, on Cherokee.
We left JOnesbOro about 1:3O d.
NJ, and in a short time was on tho
pic mic ground. Some of the crowd
had returned to their homes to
make ready for the nights enter
tainment, but quite a crowd was
in and around the church. We
favored them with some of the best
music we could make considering
we were not out in full force. We
then drove down to Mr., A. v,
Deaderick's, got out of the hack,
walked down to the river and
crossed over to Hon. A. A. Tay-
lor's and played a few pieces of
music for him. We then went up
to Mr.. Bird Bayless' where we
were kindly welcomed by Mrs.
Bayless. We all went in and en-
a nice treat. The sun was
then sinking low in the west, SO as
we were under promise to return to
the church before the entainment
began, we found it necessary to re-
trace Our steps. we we're cordi,
ally invited to take supper ct MI.
V. Deaderick's, but were OBJ
liged to refuse the kind offer ON
of our time being up. On
to the church we were |
greeted by many kind friends who
on us whole baskets full
of choice eatables. We all did |
to the baskets, or rather
their contents. The entertain
ment was first class In every re-
spect, the programme being long
and lively. Each one was per.
feet in his part. The proceeds
were to buy seats for Bethesda
church. Wiley Laws and Mr..
were in attendance with
heir viOlins and discoursed some
good music, as you all know
makes no other kind. The
house was full, good order pre-
val ed, and everybody seemed per-
satisfied with the evenings
entertainment. The members of
The Band all join in returning
heir heartfelt thanks to the good
citizens of that neighborhood for
heir kind Inequalities. We ahall
ong remember it as an evening
enjoyment and pleasure.

tho strong star upon which his ,vidnw.s
mother leaned. "ec
He early developed excellent bus,nas. -,
ents and received a careful and faithful m~-
camille education from his fathers brother
Mr.. James H. Dosser.
In March. 1871, he made O profession Of re.
ligion and united with the nj. e. Church
South. Henceforth, his whole-souled and
genial nature made him prominent in ali
social entertainments and festivals, and his
cordial, hearty greeting to strangers or svisi
tors in his Church or home made them enjoy
a delightful sense of being welcome. He
used faithfully his talent for vocal music In
religious service, either In his own church or
otners OF the town. Many of the Gospel
hymns" are so intimately connected with his
strong, full voice, THAT they will never be
sung here without being q vivid reminder OF
him and of his Service of Song, in the
Sanctuary.
october 18th, 1871, he was united In mar
riage with Miss Mollie c. Wilds, and soon
afterwards "a new home was added to tho
myriad homes of earth'-a home full of sun
shine and heart-love. It became q delight to
him to multiply comforts and luxuries be-

were born, Lillian, Kate, Earle and johnnie.
Here his cheerful spirit shone out most
brightly upon his own family first of al1-af-
forwards upon his large circle of relatives
and friends. AS a husband, a father. q son, q
brother, a friend, he was greatly beloved
In March, 1870, he entered into busines
with his bro~ther-in-law, Mr.. Geo. L. Smith,
the new firm taking the name Of "Dosser d !
Smith" and soon becoming known through
out East Tennessee. AS a business man he |
was full of energy and activity; as q citizen
and neighbor he was thoroughly kind and
courteous; but perhaps one of his rarest
qualities was the Tenderness with which he
watched through long weary nights with sick
and dying friends. Many can testify to his
and sympathy in hours of direst
need, and perhaps as many others have spo-
ken of the sunshine which his hearty, cordial
and words of friendly cheer have
sent into their hearts.
October LIST, 1888, after an illness OF four
weeks, his life suddenly went out, leaving
his nearest friends shocked by the expect
edness of the blow, the immediate cause of
his death being congestion Of the lung.
In closing this brief record of the life of
our friend, We tenderly m the DESC
widow, the fatherless children-the Wild
mother to the God of all comfort and
consolation.
The God upon whom he called In his last
moments
'Since thy Fathers arm sustains thee,
Peaceful be; :
kn9w ~ HIS love in full completeness. /,
Ii He wound thy spirit sore.

OCT. 25.-Our farmers have fol
the last two weeks been uniting
heart, hand and pulse IN making
preparation for wheat sowing. The
excellent and abundant in>gather-
ing at the wheat harvest of the past
year, should be an incentive to a
greater and more earnest effort in
agricultural pursuits.
We are glad to know that the
farmers in ithe surrounding coun-
try have aroused to the fact that
the grain yield will be greater in
quantity and better in quality if the
amount of land is reduced. and
special attention given to the cul-
tiyation of the soil, fertilizing, etc.
