Mr.. Lowell, Chairman of the Board
Of Supervisors, walked from his place
near Bristol. on Tuesday, to Webster,
rather than allow the business Of the
county 70 suffer, by his absence. When
you consider that Mr.. Lowell is a gen
tieman who is on the shady side of sixty,
q walk of fourteen miles through heavy
drifts of snow, shows a pluck and nerve,
o power Of endurance, that many of our
young men might well envy. Mr.. Lowell
is one of tho pioneers of the county, and
q man whose sturdy worth of character
has made a host of friends throughout
it's borders.

The only opposition in Congress to
voting relief to the sufferers by the foods
on the Ohio River, came from the Demo-
craticside. Twelve Democratic members
voted against the appropriation, and such
leading Democrats as Sunset Cox qualified
their votes 10y opposing the resolution in
their speeches and voting for it on the
roll-eall. The eason they gave for their
opposition was, that it was %unconttitu-
tional to appropriate money to feed the
hungry and give aid to those who were
ruined by the floods. This action, how
ever, is not all surprising-tae Democra-
cy have such an antipithY to water, that
anything resulting from the effect OF that
element is unconstitutional.

Bronwood DOings.

The General Meeting of the
Friendship Association met at
Bronwood Baptist church on last
Friday. J. w. Roberts was elect
ed moderator. Besides business
of a general nature, two interest
ing subjects were discussed
First: What relation does a
member holding a letter sustain to
the church granting the same?"
1t was decided that he is as much
a member as before, and just as
amenable to that church for bis
conduct as before the letter was
granted. Second: "Do the Scrip
lures authorize missions, and is it
the duty of the church to carry on
the work?" The discr ssion was
very interesting, indeed, and re-
suited in the conviction that we
should exert ourselves to send the
glad tidings of salvation to the
heather; not that God is not able
to do his will, and save all his
people; but that they, too, may
glorify Him upon the earth, and
be brought to q knowledge Of the
truth.
Rev. B. W. Davis preached the
Introductory sermon ON Friday.
Rev. r. A. J. Powell occupied the
stand on Saturday, and j. II. Ca
wood on Sunday.
The church and pastor made
every body feel at home, and the
whole community was diligent in
providing for the comfort OF their
visitors.
The Christmas tree at Bron-
wood during the holidays was q
fine success. The number of pres
ents distributed was very large
and all shared the bounty Of old
Santa Clause with unstinsed hand.
The good ladies' of beautiful
Bronwood know how to make a
success OF anything they under
take.
Bronwood received about $50
bales of cotton this season. 1t
viii be remembered that the ware
house was but recently built, and
as soon as the market is establish
ed there they expect to receive
several thousand, annually. Hu-

Death Loves a Shining Mark

A|SatH LONcS a. ShiHHHS MARK.
Never in the history of our town
has the above truth been more
strikingly illustrated than in the
death Of Benton Brown. A
bright, active boy just ripening in
to mature manhood he was loved
and admired by all who knew him.
Benton was born ON the 18th day
of January, 1861, and died on last
Sunday night, the 30th of Decem-
Der, 1888, making him, at the time
Of his death, % years, IL months
and Is days of age. His illness
was brief, but very severe. He
lived only ten days from the time
he was taken. His family and
physicians did everything that was
possible to be done; bat, from the
first, his disease, pneumonia, was
uncomfortable. After the third
day, he was delirious throughout
his entire illness. His suffering
seemed to be very intense; and,
no doubt, was. Poor boy, we
shall miss him sadly every day
We shall no more be greeted with
that pleasant smile that Benton
always wore. He was a model
young man; and, if we had been
called upon to point out young
man of true sterling worth, we
should have lain our hand upon
Benton Brown. 'Tis hard to give
him up; but we shall hope that
the change is for his eternal glo-
ry. His remains were buried al
the City Cemetery on last Monday
evening, Rev. P. S. Twitty con
Quoting the funeral exercises. As
a last tribute of respect, the fire
company to which he belonged
turned out and escorted his re
mains to the grave. The engine
drawn by four horses, was appro
priately draped in mourning, an,
the members evidently felt deepl.
the great loss oecasioned BY hi
death. To the distressed famil,
