Obituary.

John e. Neblett was born Dec. 10th 1910,
and departed this life Sept. 8, 1884. He pro-
frssed religion in early life Mt Antioch, and
Join d the Methodist church in which he
lived and died a christian soldier.
Bro. Neblett was one of our best citizens.
He had high sense of honor, unOstenta-
tiGus, modest and meek In his religious life;
but when ii became necessary to defend the
right, and oppose the wrong. he was as bold
as lion. He could always be relied upon
His relations in life showed the true man.
AS father, he was loving and kind, he set
before them healthfuI precepts and exam
pies, such as are worthy of imitation by all
his children. AS a husband, he was kind,
Sympathetic, respectful and ready to share
In all the burdens of life. As a neighbor he
was accommodating to the last He once
had plenty OF this worlds goods, he was
then the Job of his day. HE delivered the
| poor that cried, and the fatherless and him
that had none to help him. The blessing of
him that was ready to perish came upon
him, and he caused the widows heart to
sing for JOY" Inthe long, long ago, when
the bleak December nights drifted the snow
around the corner of the building, within

Neblett was Methodist OF the trnest type,
Such a type as would ring pure metal
sound OIL the vital principles OF religion.
He was a worthy member OF the Masonic
fraternity at McAllisters lodge No. 4O2, he
| Joined them in 1874. Bro. Neblett went down
the last section OF life grandIy. AS steadily
as Abraham walked mp the mountain side

He knew lhe point Of destination fog which
he was making-heayen. He had prayed,

! like the beautiful Canaan thai spread out
before Moses when he stood on Mt Pisgah s
top, and we are not astonished that he
| would say about the last word, Halmost

nmphantly he swept through the gates with
| the heavenly escort, to be created by the
loved ones who had gone on before. May

Q. ID. Roberts, Of Southside, and !
most earnestly desire that his health
may soon be perfectly restored. He
ID one OF your best citizens. a chris
tian gentleman OF the finest type.
Yo1r county has lost some excellent
men lately, among them Edmondson.
Swift and Brewey. During my last
years in the ClarksvilIe district, was
much associated with Evan Il. Swift
and Sterling Brewer, and found them
ever my warm sympathizers and sup
porters Their deaths saddened me
very much. But the death oil J X.
PIummer, SO sudden and so unexpec-
ted, was shock to me from which l
find it difficult to recover. He was
among the few confidential friends
that have been drawn towards me, and
to me he unbosomed himself as he did
to no other man. These are his words
in a recent letter to me: II will write
to you as do not feel willing to write
to any one else in regard to myself" +
therefore suppose that knew him
