Beech Hill.
NJ. T.. w.

We were very much pleased With
a few days meeting which closed
last night at Beech Hill school
house. Notwithstanding the evil
reports and hard things told upon
our people, we had a splendid hear
ing. Every person that We have
heard express themselves said that
the preaching was good. The re-
ligious people at and around Beech
Hill treated us and our preacher
with all christian respect and
brotherly kindness. We do hope
and pray that prejudice, unkind
ness and such may soon die out
among Christ's protested people and
at the "unity" of the bible may
begin in its stead. Brother j. r
Bradley of McDowell's Mills, Lin
coin county, did the preaching fol
| us in our meeting. We hope he may

ture. 1 am an invalid and hav'
been sick q long time. This is tn

a GOOD Man Gone,

Decatur Il ews. %


The Rev. Thomas. H. Davenport,
pastor of the M. E. church, south,
at Warrior, Alabama, died at that
place last Saturday and on the day
following was buried in Birmin O.
ham,
He was a native of Giles county,
Tennessee, and was about fifty
years of age. In early boyhood the
editor of this paper was associated
with him and by reason of his many
good characteristics, became warm
ly attached to HIM. From that time
till the day of his death we knew
him intimately and esteemed hIn
for his manly, upright and religious
life. At an early age he entered
the itinerant ministry of the church
which he honored and served with
distinguished ability and success
the remainder of his life. AS a
preacher he developed rapidly and
and obtained great popularity
among the people. His memory
was wonderfully retentfEe; what he
read he remembered and his dis
course abohnded in quotations from
the bible, from standard poems,
from ancient history and leading
works on theology.
He was g NAN OF ANAL stature
but Possessed ar@-' - :,
"~ -. physical endur
-noe. AS man and christian be
was a hero, brave and undaunted
against that which made Others
fear and quail. During the war he
served as chaplain in the 3rd Ten
nessee regiment c. S. A. infantry
He ministered comfort to the sicl
and the dying in the hospitals and
| on the battle fields and was often il
1.-The front line, manned with the i'm
Iplements of war, facing the enem.
and bidding defiance to their en-

Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused
such a general revival of trade at
Grigsby Bros drug store as their giving
away to their customers of So many
free trial bottles of DIR. Kings New
Discovery for Consumption. Their
trade Is simply enormous in this very
valuable article from the fact that it
always cures and never disappoints.
Coughs, Colds, Asthma, bronchitis,
Group and all THROAT and lung diseases
quickly cured. You can test 1t before
buying by getting trial bottle for l0c,
large size 81. Every bottle warranted.

Death of Mrs. Thompson.

Mrs. Alice Baird Thompson, wife
of Rev. W. G. G.. Thompson, rector
of the Memorial Church of the Mes
siah, this city, died Friday morning,
9th inst, of consumption. Funeral
services were held Saturday morn
ing at IL o'clock, conducted by Rev.
DR.. Howard of Tullahoma and Rev.
DR.. Gray of Nashville. The re-
mains were carried to Columbia,
her native home, on the 4 o'clock
train and inferred in Rose Hill cem-
etery. The following notice of this
esteemed lady from the Columbia
Democrat, coming as it does from
the locality of her birth and wo-
manhood, is perhaps more appropri-
ate than any tribute we could write:
The sad Intelligence was received
here this morning of the death in
Pulaski of Mrs. Alice Baird Thomp-
son, wife of Rev. w. G. 6. Thomp.
son. The news, thou Oh it fell like
a pall upon the hearts of many, was
surprise to none. Consumption,
in its slow and cruel way, had told
the end before it came. The life
that is ended on earth was started
here. 1t was here she was raised
and here the happy maidenhood of
her life was spent. 1t seems but
yesterday when we saw her bright
face and graceful figure as she step
ped from the school platform into a
society she loved and ofnamented.
In the social circle, in the parlor,
wherever she went she had friends
to welcome her. But her days in
society, as in life, were few. She
soon met and loved the Rev. Mr..
Thompson, who was then living
,, 'Asntiful Wedding follow
ed, one of the largest the -
ever known. From then on. having
reached mature womanhood, and
appreciating the duties of life, she
followed the blejunction and ''put
aside childish things" She be-
came at once christian ministers
helpmeet. Some three years ago to
them child was born; it lived but
q little while. Since then Mrs.
Thompson's health has been grad
ually failing and the end came not
sooner than expected. She leaves
devoted young husband to NOUN
her loss, and fond sisters to share
his sorrow with him.
