death lies on her, like an untimely frost
Upon the sweetest flower of all the field"
Miss Alma Mann, who was visiting friends
in this county and went home sick, Mon
day of last week, died Sept. 9th, near
Smyrna, rutherford county. What a
shock! what a mystery that one so pure,
SO good, SO talented, should be taken just as
she was bidding into womanhood. Why
was she taken? when others less noble, less
self-sacrifcing, less capable of making those
around them happy are spared? Gifted
with sweet disposition and kind regard
for the feelings of others. She possessed, to
an unusual degree, that rare faculty OF
making friends of all whom she met. Kind
ness, sympathy, affection, the purest flowers
that blossom in the poisonous atmosphere
of this sinful world, were firmly rooted in
her heart, and shed their sweet fragrance
upon all around her. Her life, like an an
them, filed with melody, now hushed en-
earth but renewed in Heaven. Take COM
fort, ye sad, afflicted ones, for your darling,
hand in hand with angels, now walks those
realms where the heart shall never throb
with sorrow and where tears are never shed.
And the gardener saith, "Who plucked this
flower ," and his fellow-servants answered,
"The Master" and the gardener. held his
peace.

MOrthIIY ResfOMed.

The following from the San Antonio
Times, referring to meeting of the EXecu-
tive Committee of the San Antonio & Aran-
sas Pass Railroad, refers to a Maury county
man, and will be read with interest by his
many friends here:
There were numerous applications for the
position of engineer of the road, some com
ing from New York, Boston, and other
cities in the far north.
After considering all the applications in
their turn the committee finally decided to
eject Capt. q: w, Polk, OF this city, Of The
firm of Polk & Granger, as the engineer OF
the road.
Captain Polk is gentleman of sterling
worth and ability, and has had at least
twelve years experience in railroading. He
managed the construction of the Louisiana
Western Railroad, the Sunset extension
into Mexico and several others, and until
recently was employed as engineer of the
Sunset road.
In conversation with a Times reporter
just after receiving notification of his cleo
ton Captain Polk said that it would take
about two months to make the surveys,

that there is one of the twenty-five districts

DR.. Atchison, of the Vanderbilt Medical
Department, talked to the boys on the
damage and detriment of tobacco and
strong drink on Tuesday. He was special
ly severe in his structures on the poisonous
qualities of the cigarette.
Mrs. E. L. Saxon had given the boys
timely talk in the forenoon, and the pre-.
ceding night she had spoken to full house
on the evils of intemperance, especially to
women and children, the innocent and help,

been touched with pity when listening to

TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
Prepared and Selected 10y the Pnbli-
cation Committee OF the Temper
auce Alliance.

THE FEESGHTEEIAS. CHU ECH AND TEMPER
| ANCE.
In his lecture at the Presbyterian Church,
at Spring Hill, last Sunday, Major VIM. }.
Sykes said that no church had taken higher
ground than the Presbyterian on the sub
| ject of forming temperance societies and OF
entire abstinence from the use OF iutoIlcat
| ing liquors as a beverage.
The ablest argument he had ever read in
! favor OF total abstinence was contained IN
/ the pastoral letter issued by their General
Assembly as early as 1878. In all their as
semblies since they had recommended en-
tire abstinence from the use OF ardent
spirits and the formation of temperance So
oietles in the congregations under their
charge. Individual members may not re
gard the deliyeranCe of the church, but the
church was not responsible for their short
cominCs any more than the Methodist
Church was responsible for the violation of
the general rules which say no member
"shall uses spirituOus liquors except IN
cases of necessity" To their God alone
they were responsible for violating the rules
and deliverances of the church. One OIL
the most active friends of temperance in
the county was the pastor of the Presbyter-
ian Church at Mt. Pleasant, who was Presi
dent of the Temperance Alliance. We
were now said enjoying the hospitality of a
Presbyterian Church with the consent OF
the pastor ana oil the session, The most
distinguished man in the temperance cause
was q Presby teriau, VIM. f. Dodge, who
read the ablest paper on this subject to the
Pan Presbyterian Council, which met in
philadelphia, and it was approved by the
Council and published in their proceedings.
This church could not be called fanatical or
extreme, but it was decided and firm in
maintenance of temperance and total alb
stinence principles. He then went on TO
show that all the churches were sound on
this subject, whatever might be the conduct |
of their individual members.
Here is a sound document cut from an |
old Temperance almanac for the year 1888. |
1t is worth publishing and will soon, we |
hope, be approved and adopted all over the /
United States:
"Being satisfied from observation and |
experience, as well ss from medical testi-
mony, that ardent spirits, as drink, is not
only needless, but hurtful; and that the
entire disuse of it would tend to promote
the health, the virtue, and the happiness of
the community, We hereby express our con-
viction, that should the citizens of the
United States and especially all young men,
circumference entirely the use of it, they
would not only promote their own person
al benefit, but the good of our country and
The world"

Fire Bugs.

On last Sunday about o'clock 2. m, the
back room of the Offices of John L. Jones,
ESD, in the Brown block were discovered to
be on fire, and through the prompt efforts of
the policemen and others who saw it, the
Ere was extinguished before it had gotten
under Roadway or done any damage. The
cause of the fire was Unaccountable as no
one had been using the room during the
day, and it is feared il was an effort to set
the property on fire. We understand some
one also attempted few nights since to
fire the residence of Mrs. Marshall, near
