Maryville is putting ON her best
garb except in streets and side
walks-in that she is like the male
peafowl who feels wonderful proud
until he takes Q sight Of his feet,
when his fine feathers fall. The
feathers of every man and woman
Of spirit must fall when they look
at our streets and sidewalks and
cutters. Oh, dear, arn't they mis-
CRADLES? A town Of over 1000 peO-
pie, and no walk to the depot! It's
a shame and a disgrace. You ask,
What will we dof We have no
corporation; no, and we do not need
one. We can easier build walk,
without having to pay a half dozen
men to oversee it. Let US subscribe
money and labor and get a man to
oversee for his part, and we will
soon have good sidewalk to the
depot.

IN MEMORIAM.

Mrs. Sarah Rebecca Bird, wife Of
w. B. Bird and daughter of A. and
M. ]. Seaton, of No Time, Blount
County, died at Lions Springs, Sc
vier County, Tenn, on the 22d day
of August, 1886. She was born on
the 18th Of August, 1850, and was
united by marriage to w. B. Bird
Aug. 18th, 1879.
She prOfessed faith in Christ In
1877, and joined the M. E. Church,
at Logan's Chapel, and remained a
consistent member up to the time
of her death. All the days Of her
life on earth were 26 years and 4
days. She leaves behind a husband
distressed, three little children, a
sorrowing, aged father and mother,
and host of friends to mourn her
loss. But with great confidence we
can say that our loss is her eternal
gain. She had been in a bad con.
dition of health for some time, and
for several days before her death
she seemed to fully realize her con.
dition; so death did not come to
her unawares. She was ready and
waiting the summons from on high.
When she felt the sands of life
giving away she told her mother to
awake her husband and little child
rem and let her see them all once
more, "fOr," says she, II will soon
be gone. The angels have come
and / must 60" She then urged
her friends to meet her in Heaven.
would here say, for the encour-
agement of her friends, that I have
witnessed not q few deaths but
don't know that ever saw any one
meet death with greater resigna-
ton than did she.
No fear, no foes dimmsd that hour.
That manifested her Savior's power;
She leaned her soul upon his breast
And sweetly passed away to rest.
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep.
From which none ever wake to weep,
A calm and undistnrbed repose,
Unbroken BY the last ef foes.
In sympathy to all, am,
F. NJ. WEBB.

On Friday evening our neighbor-
hood was surprised to hear that
Elizabeth Myers was dying. She
had been suffering with rheuma.
tism for several weeks, but was not
considered dangerous. She ate a
hearty dinner and then went to her
sons, who lived about one hundred
yards from where she lived. After
walking about the house for some
time, she lay down. Her daughter
asked her If she was sick. She an.
swered she was not, was only tired.
A few moments later she was found
lying on the floor speechless. She
lay till Saturday evening without
speaking, when convoy Of angels
bore her spirit hOme-there to meet
her husband and children that had
gone before.
Deceased was about 70 years old.
She protested hope in Christ and
Joined the Baptist Church at the
age of fifteen. She lived a devoted
Christian, always ready to reprove
sin in all its forms. Her door was
always open for Christian people,
her ears were open to the cries of
the suffering, her hands were ready
to assist the sick and helpless.
We have no dying words on which
to form hope finer being in bet
ter land, but we have over fifty
years of Christian walk and g0dly
conversation.
She leaves nine children to mourn
after her with number Of grand
children, relatives and friends. In
her death the children have lost a
kind and affectionate mother, the
church faithful member, the sick
a willing nurse.
Children and grandchildren, that
are unconverted, may you remem.
Der the prayers she has prayed tor
you, may these words ever be round
about you:
A mother dear has psssed away.
She will greet us here no more;
But bark! I hear her singing there,
Upon the golden shore.

CONCERNING THE COLUMBIA
RlVlR

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.--The resolu.
ton offered in the Senate to-day, and
adopted relating t, transportation
charges, recites in preamble that the Col.
umbia and its tributaries drain a grazing
and agricultural region of unsurpassed
fertility, as large as Germany or France;
that freight charge, on wheat from The
Dalles to Portland, eighty miles, are
twelve cents busheI, and for another
distance Of PA miles are eighteen cents
bushel. 1t declares such charges ex.
orbitant and ruinous to the produce. and
instructs the committee on transportation
routes to inquire into them and the prop
er measurer OF relief, and also as to t. c
importance of the speedy completion of
the canal and locks at the Cascades, and
of the proper means to be adopted to
overcome distractions at The Dalles.

follows:

On the best authority, that thousand
men are building three different portage
roads around the Cascades, on the Wash,

We might mention that several other
projects for railroad construction are on he

to come from to do this w9rs must be
from east OF the Rockies, and We are
muchly inclined to the opinion that our
eastern II .hbors within the two years
last past now had been sufficient evidence Of
our natural resources to cxpend their sun
plus money in taking adventure, in the
west; that what we have been telling
them for years, has not been all wild
cat that the early settlers who have
made homes here thousands OF miles
from the luxuries Of civilization and sui

country, had just conceptions Of what
this country would become when peopled
and supplied with railroad facilities aud
other means of transition, and Interchange

may be said of us now, Nv Westward the
star of empire takes its way" With the
present contemplated lines of travel from
east to west, we may expect changes in
our condition as dwellers on this north
