The Baptist church was crowded
Yesterday with sorrowing friends,
rathered to pay tribute to the mem
Dry Of Miss Lottie Fox. There was
scarcely seating capacity in the large
uditory for the many that were
present. The services took place at
10 o'clock, Rev. DR.. Sears officiating.
Just rs the pail hearers ent red bear
ing the inanimste form of the lovely
girl, the choir commenced singing
He's waiting and watching for me. "
The music carried with it that sweet
solemnity that moves the heart ant
stir5 the dullest emotions, and there
was scarcely one in the large audi
ence that was not affected TO tears BY
the sad occasion which had brought
so many together. The numerous
floral contributions which decorated
the cdsket, the pulpit and the tables
on each side, attested the deep and
Lasting affection in which Lottie
was held by those who knew her
pure, sweet character. The writer
has never on any similar occasion
seen so many beautiful floral contri
1utions-offerings from the church
society of which she was president,
her class mates, relatives and friends.
They came from every quarter in the
greatest profusion and beautiful de-
signs.
DIR. Sears founded his short dis
course on part of the 9th verse, 9th
chapter Of Isiah: "And we all do
ade as leaf and our iniquities like
the wind hath taken us away"
The venerable minister alluded
tenderly to the beautiful life that haa
gone out, her pure christian charac
ter, and promising usefulness, clio
quently comparing life to the bud
ding leaves, their various changes in
mature growth, declining in the
scar land then falling to enrich
mother earth. The service was very
affecting and there were but few dry
eyes in the house. After the service
"A large procession followed the re
mains oflovely Lottie to Greenwood,
where she was laid to rest beneath
tine green sod literally covered with
tear believed flowers, which speak
Uncomfortable love of the s id hea t
that placed them there. The beauti-
ful floral chair contributed by her So
ciety is fitting seat for the angel
while waiting and watching for her
till the resurrection morn.

SUSPICIOUS COFFEE.
E. F. Pearce and Wife, and NJ. C. Pitman
ard Wife Made sick by Drinking 1t.

Saturday night at supper, +. r.
Pearce and wife, and NJ. G. Pitman
and wife were made sick by drink
ing coffee. Mr.. Pitman and wife
board with Mr.. Pearce and as usual
they all drank coffee for supper,
About 10 o'clock they were
all taken sick, afflicted alike, and DR..
McCauley was called in to prescribe
for them. They were sick all night
and it was feared for awhile that
some of them would die, but yester-
day morning they were all better and
able to be up.
The fact that there was something
in the coffee, that made them sicl,
is substantiated beyond a doubt,
TIE children did not drink coffee,
but ate a portion Of all other food
that was on the table and they Were
not affected. The cook was sick and
only drank cup Of coffee for supper,
eating nothing else, and she was also
taken violently i'll, complaining in a
manner to the others. The regular
cook being sick, a new one was EN-
ployed to cook supper Saturday
night, and she is the one who is sup
posed to have put the dose in the cof-
fee, if there was anything in it at all.
There is no evidence, however, fur
ther than what has been stated
above, that the farnily was poisoned,
but Mr.. Pearce is not satisfied and
has employed DIR. Lyon at the Uni
versity to analyze quantity of the
coffee and find out what was in it.
phe analysis is being made to-day
and will be published when com
plCted, The ones,who were attacked
Saturday night are all up and in
their usual health to-day.

AS Others See Us.

j. NJ. Bowers, of the Dickson
County Press, recently visited this
city and in his paper of last week he
has the following to say of Clarks-
Vile:
A recent visit to this beautiful and
enterprising city convinced us thai
it is on genuine and healthy boom,
and that no safer or more profitable
investment could be made than in
GAINESVILLE real estate, which for the
past several years has been steadily
advancing in value.
Its numerous and excellent schools
and tall spired churches Of every de-
nomination, are marks OF culture and
christian refinement which give q
settled value to property otherwise
impossible to attain.

Arrested For Throwing Rocks,

Policeman Robinson arrested Nat
Ford, Geo. Hill and Ned Morrow, all
walters at the Arlington, for throw
ing rocks, this morning, The three
got after another negro on Union
street Saturday night and ran him
some distance to a cabin, in which
he took refuge from his pursuers,
locking and barring the door when
he got inside. The evidence in the
case reveals the fact that the negroes
opened fire ON the house with rocks,
and broke several window panes, the
rocks going on into the house, with
out hitting any one. They will be
tried before the recorder tomorrow.

A FERoo1oUs ANIMAL.

70 Tie Tobacco Leaf-Chronicle.

70 the Tobacco eaf-Chronicle.
Some wild and ferocious animal
has been playing havoc in the Ross
view neighborhood. 1t seems to de-
light in Staying mules and dogs. An
old darky living on Red river Ia
two mules killed by it. He had
them confined in a small lot and they
were both killed one night last week I.
One of them was half devoured and
the other partially,
1t visited John Bellamy's the next
night and devoured two of his dogs
1t seems to confino its diet to mules
md dogs, never returning to a second
meal to what is left of the carcass,
but requiring a fresh victim every
night.
George McMurry saw it and while
he was trying to remember the diff
ferent illustrations of wild animals
he had seen in natural history, in or
der to name it, it spra' g at the mule
he was leading and he left without
arriving at any conclusion as to what
it was. The last heard of it was at
Ase Randle's it attacked one of his
colts and the dam kicked it through
barbed wire fence, where it left a
section of its tail and three claws
banging on Tho barbs of the wire.
The neighborhood has organized
1 big hunt for it and will meet
At McMurry's store next Saturday at
10 o'clock a. III. Everybody is in
vited.
Charley McCurdy, who has shot
tigers in Africa, killed Grizzleys in
the moutans of California, is Sc
lected as the captain Of the party.
The program is to send the dogs in
front and after it has devoured half
dozen dogs we will venture in
shooting distance.

DISAPPOINTED.

HARRIsoN's administration has
proven one of the most partizan in
the history of the government. His
cabinet is composed of bitter parti-
zans and sectional haters. They
seem to think that the Republican
party is the government and all
legislation, appointments and acts
must be in the interest of the Re-
publican party. Harrison has dis
appointed the people of the South.
They had good opinion of him
when he entered the White House,
but he will go out despised, regard
ed as the weakest tool of the wicked
est party that ever ruled. We long
to see the day when such a man as
Cleveland is President, to give the
country National administration,
liberal in spirit, just in dealing and
respectable in appointments.

Mr.. Graves was congratulated on all

We feel proud OF Mr.. Graves and
his grand effort. Of course, Mr..
Graves does not aspire to fill Grady's

indeed can he, but ne certainly &C
quilted himself with credit. AS
long as the South has such able
champions to state her cause, she
has nothing to fear from the right

partizans who turn deaf ear and
refuse to give fair hearing to the
South, are the ones who keep I'D

in power.

The latest mineral find in Catoosa
county is salt mine. The .discov-

lives about two miles this side of
Tunnel Hill, directly on the line Of
the Western 4 Atlantic railroad.
He does not know the extent of his
find, as yet. The mine or vein is
about four rods in width and per-
haps six times as long. The exter-
nal appearance of the mine is all
that can be desired; the land is
barren, to the extent mentioned and
the sign of vegetation is not percep.
tible to the most casual observer
MIR. Carter has placed the surfacing
IN the hands of chemists, who pro.
nounce it valuable store of salt.
