Mr.. VIM. b. Smart, died at his
home in Dallas, Texas, on. the night
of Nov. 23d, aged rs years. Mr..
Smart had many relatives and
friends in this county who will re-
gret to hear of his death, and who
will sympathize with his stricken
family in this sad loss. The family
moved from McMinnville to North
Alabama in January, 1879, and from
there few months later to Dallas,
which place they have since made
their home.
One of the most serious wrecks
which the road between Sparta and
Tullahoma has ever had occurred to
the mixed train near Hickerson
Thursday afternoon of last week,
when two stock cars, loaded with
hogs and cattle, one fiat car and one
passenger coach were derailed and
smashed up. The stock cars turned
completely over, killing and bruising
great many Of the hogs. No per-
son on the train was injured in the
least.
"A subscriber to the STANDARD
wants Prof. Clark to tell our reads
ers whether Or not the following sem
tences are dramatically correct, and
point out the errors, if any. "Rev.
j. Il. Curry preached sermon at the
Methodist Church on honesty" "Dr.
Stainback shot at deer" Another
subscriber also wants to know why
modern writers and speakers use the
phrase, 81 differ cth you," instead
of the old Orm, 81 differ from you"
The death of Mr.. Thos. H. Faulk>
ner, which occurred at his home near

removes one Of Warren cOunty's

the wOolen manufacturing interests
of this county for fifteen or twenty
years, and to his energy, persever.
ance, and skillful management is due
the success of the Tennessee WOOlen
Mills through long series of years
Mr.. Faulkner was about IS years O

death of such men is always severely
felt by a community, and particular
ly is this 50 in the present case, fO
the large number of employees Of tn,
mills were warmly attached to him
: and they will long cherish his mem
Ory.
