to be Justly proud of her. Her essay,
entitled age bene partem taam, Ell

Latin, was q composition OF rare
merit, and established her claims to
superior culture and scholarship. II

with thought, of learning with

The Late Capt. John II. Freeman
jackson Tribune and Sun. Is.

jackson Tribune and SUM- 10.
Captain John H. Freeman was born
in Gibson county, Tenn, in 1916. He
received a liberal education. While
yet youth he entered theConfederate
army in the Seventh Regiment Ten
nessee cavalry, and made a gallant
soldier to the end of the struggle.
After the war he studied law in Tren>
ton under his brother, Judge I. j.
Freeman, and removed to Brownsville
to practice his profession. But he
was too essentially a man of action to
be content with the slow methods Of
professional life, and he early became
interested in politics and in specula-
ton, welding a decided influence
from the first in the former and
achieving success in the main in the
latter field. In 1872 he was appointed
Clerk of the Supreme Court for West
Tennessee and held that office up to
his death. 1t may be truly said that
the State never had more efficient or
reliable clerk.
But it was in the field of politics
that CAPTAIN Freeman achieved his
principal fame. He was magnificent
organizer and the: boldest of leaders.
No man in Tennessee saw further into
q campaign, or more fully mastered all
its details. He was in the fore front
of every political contest in Tennessee
from '68 to 80, and his influence in
shaping Democratic policies was felt
and recognized throughout the State.
He was a veritable party Warwick,
making and unmaking politicians and
judges by his combinations, his mag,
netism and his resistless will. One
cause Of his eminent success in politi.
cal manipulation was that he was not
recognized as a political aspirant, but
was content with the position he held
He was willing that others, his
friends, should enjoy the political
offices and the empty pomp Of homo
rary positions, reserving for him.
self the practical power of shaping
policies and naming those to be
charged with carrying them out. His
methods were his own, and although
we saw from time to time matter fol
criticism or condemnation, yet he wal
not more vulnerable or fallible thar
most men who play at the great gam,
Of politics.
The best side Of his remarkable
character was his charity. With
| free hand from full purse he helped
the poor and relieved the distress o
the widow and the orphan. No ap
peal Tor charity was ever made to hin
| in vain, and during his sad Hines
many a prayer that he might be spare,
assembled to heaven from humbl
roofs.
Captain Freeman was three time
married, first to Miss Elder, of Tren
ton, second TO Miss Ada Green, Q
Haywood county, and last to Mis-
Mary McCorry. Of this city, who SUI
wives him. He leaves four children
A girl by his second and two boys an
a girl by his third wife. He was
Roman Catholic in religion, and
most generous contributor to tn
church. He leaves large and uner
numbered estate.

Is Your Blood Pure?

For impure blood the best medicine known
is Rosadalis. 1t is the great Southern
time tried and true remedy, and may be
implicitly relied on when every thing else
fails. Take it in the spring time espec-
tally, for the impure secretions of the
blood incident to that season of the year;
and take it at all times for Cancer, Serofula,
Liver Complaints, Weakness, Boils, Tu-
mors, Swellings, Skin Diseases, Malaria
and the thousand ills that come from i'm
pure blood.
To insure q cheerful disposition take
Rosadalis, which will remove the prime
cause, and restore the mind to its natural
equilibrium.
