John L. Sullivan, the champion
heavyweight prize-fghter of the
world, who has been the idol of all
lovers of matters pugilistic of both
high and low degree, will now have to
pass year in Mississippi Jail, having
been thus sentenced Saturday by
Judge Terrall. John Fitzpatrick, the
referee, was sentenced to pay fine Of
5000.
In Mississippi conyicts are either
employed in prison stripes under we'll
armed guards to work on State i'm
provements or they are hired out to
contractors, and SIllivan.Killrain and
their bottle-holders who may be
caught will enjoy the luxury of earn
ing about the first honest bread they
have ever eaten.

In MemOriam.

Your committee on memoirs, beg
leave to submit the following repors:
During the past few months death
has made its inroads into our little
band and two of our dear members
will answer the roll call no more in
our society meetings, viz: Chas W..
Lusk who died after a very brief ILL
ness on January 9th 1889, in quiet
calmness and full assurance of hope,
bring fully conscious to the last.
Talking and exhorting his school
mates and many friends to meet him
"in the sweet by and by" in that land
OF rest into which he was soon to en-
ter.
Charles was boy loved by those
who knew him, but loved more by the
Grand Head OF the church.
Jessie w. Brown who died on JUNE
Is 1889, with that dread disease, con-
sumption. When Jessie learned OF
the disease she was suffering with
proving fatal at an early day. She
talked OF it with great calmness and
dreaded not the end, nor meeting ol
the Judge of all the earth, for she
knew in whom she trusted and
though He was grand and holy and
she nothing but timid child. She
loved him and knew he loved her, and
she was willing if it was his will to GO
to him at his request.
Therefore we wonder not she died
whispering the name of Jesus hel
dearest friend on earth or in heaven.
We are led to offer the following
Resolutions:
Resolved 1st We greatly miss Char
lie and Jessie from our society O
workers for the salvation OF the un
saved, but we bow in submissive tt
our loss, assured of the fact they art
now numbered with the saved above.
Resolved End: We tender our sym
pathies to the stricken families, anC
pledge our prayers for their comior
and ultimate salvation in the sam,
sweet home where Charley and JESSIE
now rest.
Resolved 9rd A copy of these reso
lutions be furnished the families 0
the deceased and entered upon ou
record book, and also published il
our city papers. Respectfully sub
mitted. ANNIE MILLER,
SALLIE LUsK.

devotion to principle, he is the equal
of any figure in history.
AS a soldier, his career was short
but brilliant. He blazed for a mo-
ment like a meteor in the midnight
heavens, then quenched forever the
fires OF life in the blood of the Alamo.
ION Fame's eternal camping ground
His silent tent is spread,
And glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac ofthe dead"l
The brilliant, the original, the hon
est, the patriotic, the brave, ragged,
dauntless Davy Crockett now sleeps in
a glorious grave, beloved and vener-
ated all by his countrymenl His
name his character, and his deeds, add
lustre alike to Tennessee, to Texas,
and to the Republic.
He has indeed left his footprints on
the sands Of time, his impression inef-
faceable on the age in which he lived,
his imperishable monument in the
hearts and affections OF his people.
In the name of Davy Crockett His
torical Society in the name of the
good people OF Washington county,
and of all the people OF East Tennes'
see, extend to you a cordial and
hearty welcome to this the place oI
his birth and to these scenes of his
earliest boyhood.-Johnson City En-
terprise.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1889-08-29

Patrick Calhoun, the man of nerve
who fought the bloodless duel with
Col. Williamson recently, is grand
son of the famous statesman John G..
Calhoun. He has brother whose
name is John G. Calhoun. Pat is a
practicing lawyer and lives is the city
OF New York.
Why are sheep the most dissipated
of animals? Civ itup? They gam
boil in their youth, pass their life upon
the turf, the best of them are black
legs, and they all get fieeced at last.
The strength and safety Of com.
munity consist in the virtue and in.
telligence Of its youth especially Of its
young men.
