Gone to Rest.

Mrs. Lillian Smith, wife of Mr.. j..
ID. Smith, and daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. p. Faulkner, died at her
parental home in the suburbs of Nc
Minnville, Saturday morning, Aug.
Doth, 1885.
The hearts of our people have not
been touched by sadder event in
many months than this death. She
enjoyed large circle of friends and
was a favorite with all who knew
her. She was married to Mr.. j. ID.
Smith on last Christmas eve, and
consequently had but a few brief
months to enjoy the union of hands
and hearts with the one who had
chosen her for Il life partner. Sur
rounded by everything necessary to
make life happy it seemed sad indeed
to die, but
"There is 10 death; what seems so is
transition.
This life of mortal breath
Is but suburb of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call death"
The stricken husband and parents
can only bow in humble submission
to the decree Of a loving Father who
"doeth all things WELL" 'Tis only a
brief separation. A few more swift
ly fleeting years will bring the loved
ones together on the golden sands OF
the eternal haven Of rest.
"The faint breeze comes from the distant
shore,
With its odOrs dim and sweet,
And soon in the silent harbor of peace,
Long parted friends we shall greet"
In their deep grief the bereaved
ones have the profoundest sympathy
of the entire community.
Atfour o'clock on Sunday afternoon
the remains were laid to rest in the
new cemetery with touching and i'm.
pressive services by Elder r. Lir
Cave in the presence of a large con
course of friends who had gathered tC
witness the last sad rites.

Dissolution.

The firm of Northcut Il Lane has
been dissolved by mutual consent,
Mr.. E. NJ. Lane retiring. The busi-
ness will be continued at the same
stand by Mr.. w. d. Northcut, who
wishes to return thanks to the public
for past liberal favors, and will en-
deavor to merit a continuance of pat
ronage. His stock will be kept fully
up to the demands of the trade at all
times, and his goods can always be
relied upon of the best and freshest
quality. Call on him when you
want family supplies of any kind.

-Prof. W. X. Patterson was here

Prof. w. X. Patterson was here
Wednesday night and Thursday
morning winding up some business
matters and getting his household
goods together to move to Rutherford
county. We regret very much that
he could not longer remain a citizen
of McMinnville, but his business in
terests were such as to require his re-
turn to Rutherford county. No man
ever drew around him more and
warmer friends in so short a time as
Prof. Patterson did during his two
years stay in McMinnville, and they
all wish him the greatest degree of
success and happiness. He will open
a school at his home near Smyrna, in
Rutherford county, next Monday.
He is eminently fitted for an instruc-
tar of youth he has attained fine
education, and with it possesses to
an enviable degree, the happy facul-
ty of imparting his knowledge to
others. 1t gives us pleasure to thus
endorse one whom we have learned
to love as a personal friend, and as
an upright, noble, christian gentle
man.

harwell's Furniture Factory and I'm
dertaking Establishment.

In the past whenever anybody in
McMinnville wanted real handsome
burial casket, it had to be ordered
from Nashville by telegraph, but we
have advanced beyond this now, for
NJ. B. Harwell has now on hand and
expects to keep at all times in the
future as complete an assortment of
coffins, caskets, and metallic cases as
can be found in the State. We took
a look through his establishment one
day last week and were shown the
handsOmest walnut burial casket we
ever saw anywhere. He has a big
stock on hand of all grades and prices.
He also has fine new hearse to at
tend funerals.
In addition to his undertaking es-
tablishment Mr.. Harwell manufac
lures every article of furniture neces-
sary for the parlor, bedroom, hall or
kitchen, using the very best material,
improved machinery and skilled

The pipes by which petroleum is trans
ported from the oil regions to the seaboard
are cleaned by means of stem two and half
feet long having at its front end diaphragm
made of wings which can fold on each other,
and thus enable it to pass an obstruction it
cannot remove This machine carries set
of steel scrapers, somewhat like those used
in cleaning boilers. 1t is put into the pipes
and propelled by the pressure transmitted
from the pumps from one station to another
Relays Of men follow the scraper by the
noise it makes in It's progress, one party
taking up the pursuit as the other is ex-
hausted. They must not let it get out of
their hearing for if it stops upnoticed its

After much discussion, and determined
opposition on the part of the delegates from
France. Brazil and San Domingo, the con-
ference finally passed the resolution offered
by Mr.. Lewis NJ. Rutherford a United
States delegate. 1t named the meridian
passing through the centre of the transit
instrument in the observatory at Green
wicb, England, as the initial meridian for
longitude.
The conference resolved that longitude
should be reckoned both east and west from
this prime meridian up to $50 deg, instead
of one way only up to $50 deg, and that
east longitude should be called plus and west
longitude minus. 1t also decided that the
astronomical day shall begin at midnight,
as recorded by the great mean solar stand
ard clock at Greenwich
Thus, since the 1st of last January, all the
great nations of the earth, excepting France,
take their slime o day. from Greenwich,
and base their astronomical calculations
upon its meridian.
The Royal Observatory at Greenwich was
founded in 1913 by King Charles III, who,
upon being told that the positions OF certain
stars. as then cataloyued, were incorrect,
remarked: I'VE must have them anew OBJ
served" For this purpose it was necessary
to establish an observatory.

Once more it Is in fashion to wear skirts
of decent short walking length. This is
especially true as far as yothg ladies are
concerned. The dresses clear the ground
and just cover the ankle. 1t gives a youth

it is blessed relief from dust, mud and the
unspeakable street sweepings that make life

dress. With neat boot the short dress is
much prettier than the long one. There is
no beauty or gracefuness either, in a long
skirt fiip-happing about the feet, shaking
the denominations of street dust up into the
snowy skirts and nice, clean hose at every
step.
English women it is said, are trying to
make a movement against the short skirt
and to introduce the style of ha wing the

of from 10, 900 to Il, 600 feet. should antici-
pate, therefore that all the advantages
which, as winter resort for invalids, Davos
possesses from its elevated position, would
be enjoyed even in greater degree in the
Yellowstone park. The period of perman
ent snow is longer, so that invalids could re-
main there probably until the end of April,
whereas the melting Of the snow generally
compels them to leave Davos early in March,
when the climate of the valleys is peculiarly
unfavorable for chest complaints. 1t is to
be expec ted, from its greater elevation, that
a still clearer sky and larger proportion OF
sunny days would be experienced in the
Yellowstone park, while the wholesomeness
of the air would be still more marked, owing
to its comparatively greater freedom from
zymotic matter.
At present the park, so generously set
apart by congress for the enjoyment of the
American people, is utilized only by very
limited number of tourists, in the few months
of very short summer and il seems pity
that such magnificent possession should
not be much more extensively used. Dedi-

Dynamite and Other High Explosives in
Warfare,

While the use of the modern high explo-
sives in military operations is still a problem,
and is attended with many drawbacks,
great future is before them. The very
variety of these powerful agents already
brought into use is suggestive. While dual
inc and dynamite, lithofracteur AMI forcite,
nitro-gelatine and tonite, and the whole
array of the picrates and CELEBRATES convey
to many persons only an indistinct idea of
their differing properties, they all mark
steps of progress in investigation. These
are the mighty forces which have already
been found invaluable to the quarry and to
railway construction: and they are likely to
effect as great changes in the military as in
the mining art
