We should Never Grow OLD.

Judge Peter Turney never speaks
that he don't say something good.
Addressing the students of Terrill
College at Decherd recently, he most
most forcibly impressed the young
people that if they would enjoy the
blessings of true manhood, they must
think for themselves. He said:
Only by the vigorous use of your
intellectual powers do you strength
EN- them. Education is not the accu.
mutation of facts--it is growth.
Mental effort brings mental power.
The ability to think comes from
thinking. And the intellect should
not, like the body, grow weak with
age. Those who systematically use
their powers of mind through life do
not become feeble of mind.
Justice Turney never uttered a
truer sentiment than this. People
grow old, feeble minded, cross and
soured with the world because of
yielding to intellectual Incidence.
The man who never reads, studies or
thinks for himself, never advances
beyond the intellectual power Of
youth, and becomes an old man,
childish and feeble at the turn of
middle age, growing weaker as the
years advance. He who employs
his intellect vigorously, grows
stronger, brighter, more cheerful and
powerful in his intercourse with
men as the years PROCESS. This is
why some aged people are found
always happy in their association
with the young always active, first
and foremost in every enterprise and
progressive movement, and exercis-
ing strong influence in the commu-
nifty.
Every boy can't become lawyer,
doctor, preacher or merchant, but this
fact should not hinder any youth
from cultivating his intellect and fit
ting himself for usefulness in any
sphere of life and the enjoyment of
happiness. Parents should learn that
the mere sending of their children to
school is not all of education. Every
family circle should be supplied with
good newspapers and books and the
children stimulated to read and
study, throwing their minds in the
current of events that the power of
the intellect may be stimulated and
inspire thought and activity of the
mind. When boys and girls learn
to think for themselves and exercise
the mind and Will power, they grow
happy in the active use of the mental
faculty as they progress in life and
will never grow old. Observe the
activity, power and usefulness of
some aged people who are busy to
the end of life-it is a strong, active,
mental faculty that bears them up.

Tribute of Respect.

Chas. G. Smith was born January
7, 1884, in Haywood county, Tenn.
He died at his home in this city April
IA, 1890.
For more tnan ten years he was a
member CT the order of knights of
Pythias and of this Lodge. During
the entire period he held the merited
fraternal esteem and love of his
brother members. His life was an
exemplification of the principles of
Pythianism. Devoted, enduring and
chivalrous in his attachments to his
friends, his life robs the story of Da-
mon and Pythias of the characteris-
tics of a fable and clothed it with the
probabilities of fact. He was a
brother whom we loved while living
and whose memory, now that he is
dead, we will revere. Therefore be 1t
Resolved by Cumberland Lodge No.
II knights of Pythias, That in the
death of Chas. G. Smith the order
and this Lodge especially, has lost
one of its most useful, hOnored and
beloved members.
That the sincerest sympathy OF
this Lodge be extended his family,
on whom the blow falls most heavi-
ly.
That the Keeper of Records and
Seal furnish copy of these resolu-
tions to the family and to the city
papers. JN0. j. WEST,

A soap Transaction.

John Hurst took tilt with soap
drummer yesterday evening, going
at the slick knight of the grip in
regular John Sullivan style. A con-
troversy arose as to the amount of
soap Hurst needed and the price.
The drummer insisted that it would
take a car load to do him. John
thought he could make out with half
that quantity and buy little along
as he needed it, as it came just as
cheap by the small as in Car load lots.
The soapist failed to make his goods
Iather on John and became irritated
and talked sassy and impudent'
John sassed back. They both got
mad, and as the drummer left the
house, uttering some words still more
aggravating John planted a lett
handler on his right jaw, which caused
him to whirl round, bringing the
other cheek in position to be silenced
by blow from the store-keeper's
good right arm. Just as John let
fly, however, the drummer lodged
and John went over sprawling in
the street, leaving the imprint of his
handsome form, with outstretched
hands, in the mud.
The negro who carried the soap
mans large grip enjoyed the affair
to that extent, that he forgot him
self, dropped the grip and sat down
on it, stretched his mouth and gave
vent to his hilarity in a laugh that
echoed around the hills, and five
miles down the Cumberland. An
old blind mule hitched to an express
took fright from the sound of the
splash in the mud, and ran away,
disappearing down the negroes
throat. When John arose from his
mud bed he looked as if he needed
two car loads of soap. The drummer
seemed to think this; as he was OBJ
served on the next corner one block
away, still working the other jaw,
following back "soap! soap! two car
loads"
This was enough to have awak-
ened the merchants tenderest affec-
ton, but it didn't. 1t made him all
the madden and he took after the
soap man with rocks and brickbats
and ran him out of town.
If a clever soap man should come
along today, he might sell Hurst d
Co. four car loads.

DRAMATIC.

The dramatic editor of the Mem
phis Avalanche thinks George Will
son has strengthened his minstrel
troupe since last season, but adds
that "some of the jokes should be
called in and pensioned off,"
The Cincinnati Times-Star thinks
it not at all improbable that Law
renee Barrett will never again APP
pear on the stage. This is attributa-
BILE to his falling health. Some time
ago he underwent an operation in
Baltimore by which a large tumor.
GUS growth was removed from his
throat. Since that time Mr.. Barrett
has experienced no serious trouble,
but similar growths are making their
appearances on different parts of his
body now which will keep him from
going on the stage. Mr.. Barrett
holds cheerful hope, however, of a
permanent recovery.
The manager of Elders Opera
House madea mistake this season in
billing his companies. There have
been some miserably poor companies
here, of which the present one is not
an exception, and they have been
the cause of people losing interest
to a certain extent in the good ones
that have been here. Put the Opera
House on high plane and people
will patronize it. The season has
been a miserable failure.

Bucket Shop Failures.

In addition to the announced fail
ure of the Merchants and Traders
Produce Exchange at Nashville yes
terday, S. H. Phelan d. Co, of At
lanta, also went under for $50, 900 and
no assets, also the branch houses at
Macon, Augusta, Griffin, Columbus
and Albany. Phelan was arrested
on charges of swindling. The fail
ure of the bucket shop at Montgom-
cry, Ala, is also reported.
The cause assigned for these failures
is the sudden rise in pork, wheat and
other products and the Standar d
Oil policy adopted by the Chicago
Board of Trade to crush the bucket
shop business which was about to
crush the Board of Trade, taking too
much of its business.
