New Years Dinner.

Mr.. and Mrs. l.. M. Kidd were
kind enough to send a hack on New
Years morning to my house, and
take my wife and little ones out to
their home to partake of a bounti-
full repast on that day. Not feeling
very we'll when they went out l
rather thought l would not 60, but
as MIR. Kidd was in town until about
noon and l was getting slightly
hungry, 1 concluded would VEN
ture out, but being a little late and
the women folks not looking for me
they had eaten their dinner, and
when they told me ! had to eat the
scraps, I thought the "bOat had left
me-" but by and by dinner was an
nounced ready for US. So we had
to eat alone, but will say here
that the table was loaded with the
fat of the land, and even when we
were through eating there was left
plenty and to spare, and ! would be
pleased to have the scraps for each
meal if they were like what adorn-
ed that table. l will say MIR. Editor
If you ever chance to fall In at the
home of these kind and hospitable
people you will recei 'e a royal well
come in the true sense of the word

rived, the society was called to nr-

Teton. DR.. Low was then intro

came the supper and it was IL sup
per to be long remembered by those

and was loaded With, all the good
things imaginable. The landlord
and his lady deserve much prai o
for the way it was served. After
supper they adjourn d to thu par,or,
where they found the landlord with
nice bouquet to beipre II ed to

After very pleasant vacation of
two weeks, nearly all the cid stu
dents of the College have returned
to their accustomed places, joined
by many new ones who are gladly

successful one In the history of

Last Monday viii ever b. II me-
morahle day to Mr.. Jacob Henry,
he having entered Into his sixty
second year, AS II mark of respect
to his venerable father, MIR. Harry
Henry invited the following guests
to par,ake of Il sumptous repast
given by him at his home, viz:
Madames Maria LiIlard, Melissa
Fagg and Annie Rorex; Messrs.
Thomas Lillard, james Hall, David
Hannun and j. Il. Films After
each had related incidents of earIi-
er days the stentorian voice Of our
host announced in unmistakable
terms that dinner was rea Y. 1t
Would'be useless to mention the
menu in dotail, or how each e joy
ed the same, but suffice to say mat
each person present declared that
words were inadequate to express
their delight at 50 enjoyable occa-
sion. The choice viands were
served by the delicate hands of
Misses Lou Henry and Laura Am.
brister, which of course, to the sin
gle gentleman present, revived his
memory of former occasions.
In these days of uncertainty it is
an uncommon thin" to see man
so vigorous, sensitive, robust and
self-possesseJ as ia Db Henry. He
is a man, though reared by the
hands Of task-masters, without the
remotest idea as to what education
was, that demands the respect and
confidence Of generous public.
May he in his golden years still be
an ornament to his race, a convinc-,
ing advocate of truth and justice,
and finally when the eventide Of
life shall near the harbOr on the
farther shore may he lay down his
burden ut the verge Of the grave
and grasp cOnquerer's crown on

Obituary.

Onthe 9TH of August 1904 there
was born near Unitia, Blount coun-
ty, Tenn, boy named John Grit
fits, who, when he became a man,
settled in two miles of his birth
place, and there in Unitia he lived
till the morning of December, 9th,
1890 he went away to the city to
ward which he had travelled so
many years, and entered into rest
A grand old man of Sc years had
so lived as to win universal esteem,
and on the day of his burial, Sun.
day the 2Sth of December, a large
number Of relatives and friends
assembled AS a token of their high
regard and affection for a man who
had helped so many in the day OF
trouble. He was twice married
first to Mary Leein 1924. Her faith.
er had gathered his effects together
and with wife and children turned
his course toward the far West, not
realizing that in that wagon there
was one who had no "little kind.
ness' in her heart for young John.
Hearing of the sudden departure Of
the family John mounted his fiery
steed and dashed through the for.
ests, till coming near the precious
cargo he ordered halt. 1t was M
time for bashfulness and delay.
"Mr. Lee you must not take Mary to
Indiana. l want her. I love her.
Mary, will you stay with me g''
ayes, John, I will" The wagon
was stepped. All 60 into a house,
John and Mary become one. They
bid farewell to the dear ones and
the proud steed takes the happy
pair to Johns sweet home. Happi.
ly did they live together till Janu.
airy 4th, ls45, when Mary Lee Crit.
fits went to the better land. Seven
children were horn to them, five OF
whom are now living-George
James, John Lee, Hugh B., and
Mrs. Ramsey Hackney.
At this time Mr.. GrifRtts, though
considering himself a Christian
had not connected himself with q
Christian church. His wifi had
been brought up among the Friend,
but told her husband she would
join the Presbyterian church, II hi
would unite with 1t. Her death
prevented the execution of tina,
agreement made between them.
In May, 1916, Mr.. Griffitts mar
ried, for his second wife, Miss Nan
cy Black, of Blount county, a mem
