IN MEMoRIAM
Of charles 9. Alternately. Son Of Col. e. 4.

and Emma Abernathy.
The subject of this notice was born uear
Mc-Allstei IS D4oss Iso.lsis, Mont 5laeiy &C.,,
Tenn, Sept q, 1854, and died at McEwen,
Humphreys co., Tenn. June 7, 1854, of heart
disease. $50
am perfectly sensible of my utter inabil-
ity to do the subject even justice, but owing
TO the fact that he acted such q conspicuous
part IN assisting me to what little distinc-
ton have attained, 1 cannot rcfrain from
adding my mite in assisting to transmit IL
posterity his good name and reputable
characteristics. At very early age he at
tanned proficiency in the higher mathe-
matics and the classics; and when alone, all
wrapped In the mantle of solitude, it seemed
to be his greatest enjoyment to peruse the
pages of ancient history, and revel in all the
glories of Ancient Greece and Rome. So
the educational world being perfectly
aroused as to his literary attachments, did
not see fit TO allow such material to lie DOR
mant. Consequently, at the strenuous So
licitation Of some influential parties he was
induced to embark in the capacity of o
teacher. And Notwithstanding he was call
ed away when just entering the zenith OF
his aspirations, he loved to surmount the
turbulent pillows which are such prominent
features oflhis profession.
December 9th, 1877, he was married to
Miss Omma, the accomplished daughter of
Jesse Daniel, and it is scarcely necessary to
say that she proved to be, in both prosperity
and adversely, devoted wife, a loving
mother, and an efficient sharer of the me-
andering vicissitudes of his brief though
eventful career. II Tennessee were called
mr. To aVh a NJ hnP cd
sons, her most precious Jewels, she would
be unanimously applauded for her judicious
judgment should our subject be one of the
number. Whose fame is not known by the
rivers he has Hinged with blood, nor by The
plains that he has fertilized with carnage.
But the towering oak of the forest is no less
majestic when its verdant foliage is famed
by the morning zephyrs, than when its
limbs are rent by the thunderboit. AS TO
his religious ideas, few enjoyed his conf
dence suffice it to say that he is gone, he
has left us, and the dropping willow looks
piteously down over his mortal remains,
and the bowling night winds will ever
chant melancholy dIrge over the unfortu-
nate victim. When reflect over what lit
tie have written, my mind wanders far
away to the many happy houre spent with
him, who was my friend in decd and in
truth, and with whom 1 labored side by
side for years. He was ever jealous in the
of knowledge, always courte-
Gus, always ready to assist the aspiring stu
dent in his early trials to attain to emil
nence.
His body now sleeps in the silent city OF
the dead and his energetic rpirit has taken
its place in that ever progressive eternity.
He leaves a little son, a devoted wife, and
many friends to mourn his irreparable loss.

THE following paragraph in re-
gard to DR.. Barbee, is taken from
the Nashville American:
The man of most vigorous and
powerful intellect in the conference,
in all probability, is the pastor at
McKendree. There are but few
men in public life or at the har who
can state proposition with more
clearneSs. or present it with more
logical accuracy than he The
trouble with DIR. Barbea is that he
has such faith in the great work in
which he is engaged-is so deeply
imbued with the truth of Christians
ity-that he breaches TO all doubling
ThOmases as enemies. He regards
them all rs plotting against the
church, seeking to undermine and
destroy it, and so his words are not
always as kind towards this class OF
erring sinners AS the gentle words
of his great Master would justify.
So great an intellect Can afford 10
cultivate charity for all.
