Died:-At Worthwhile, Michigan, on
the afternoon of Sept. 18th, 1891, Mrs.
Hannah c. Gardner, aged 81 years and
four months. Mrs. Hannah Gardner,
better known to us all as Aunt Han
nah," was the widow of the late Ben
jamin Gardner, who until 1861 was a
resident of Bennington and Pownal At
that time their ambition called for the
more lucrative fields of Michigan, to
which place they came and located at
Worthwhile. After buffeting the tolls Of
life they gained a competency sufficient
to supply every want, which they fully
enjoyed till October, 1879, when Uncle
Ben was called to his long home.
Since that time aunt Hannah" as she
was Familiarity called, has successfully
managed, the ship of life through the
counsel of dear friends and nelghbors.
For three years she had been confined to
her bed, suffering greatly at times, but
bearing up under her affliction with
that Christian fortitutde which has so
particularly characterized her life. She
was submissive and cheerful at all times,
feeling that what was Gods will was
right. She has ever lived life of use
fulness and devotion 10 all pertaining a
true and faithful Christian. Her idea of
right and justice was very perceptible,
and she exercised it in her everyday life,
and by it gained and retained firm and
steadfast friends, who deeply regret her
departure from this life And while we
know her spirit has flown to the God
who gave it, her memory will ever dwell
with us all. While we must bid her
edieu, let us feel that such life we may
profit from, and hope to so live that we
too may meet this dear old friend
among so many who have gone from our
circle to join that band of loved ones on
the other side. The last sad rites were
paid to the memory of this dear friend
ON the afternoon of Thursday, Sept 18th,
at her late residence, alld much sympa-
thy is extended to those two faithful
friends, Mrs. Annie Sxfh. and her
daughter, Minnie, who fN years have
increasingly administered to 1ief every
wish, and who have bet.n % Aunt
Hannah in the years of heR declining
health, all that her own children eould
have been. God, in his all-vise Pbevi-
dence had seen fit to take from her, in
earlier years, three lovely daughters,
who had each approached the stage of
support to their dear mother. TO the
neighbors and friends, who so cheerfully
administered to their assistance through
the last hours, much credit and many
thanks are expressed. And at last we
feel to say adieu, also.

Back to The Mines

The Tennessee Coal and Mining
Company has selected two hundred
able-bodied men out0f the convicts
atthe main prison with theannonnc-
ed intention Of taking them to the
Briceyille mines. How soon and
by what process nobody seems to
know. The prison authorities have
no instructions in the matter, and
the prison inspectors have said
that no convicts must 90 back into
Coal Greek Valley until the stock
AIDES are rebuilt Hence the mus
ter is a mystery.
1t Is generally understood that
the miners have already announced
their intention to reject any propo-
sition from the lessees that offers
to bring a single convict into An
derson County, and that they will
not allow the re-erection of the de-
stroyed prisons.
1t is also reported that the less
ees say that theywill not prosecute
the leaders of the mob that destroy
ed their property for fear that they
will again become angry and visit
similar judgenlentupon Inman and
Tracy City.
This time the warden has been
careful that no long term men get
outside the walls.
The two hundred selected for the
return to the mines reahealthyset,
and their recent rest enabled them
to tatten like winter meat.

helpless victim to land pirates OPP

Referring to the Governments
control of railroads it says; "Goy-
eminent control Of railroads. ex-
cept to the extent Of necessary laws
governing corporations and eocpo-
rate franchises and duties and OBJ
legations, is an arbitrary and un-
warrantable interference with the
natural and vested private rights.
The Government could as ,consis-
tently assume control of the street
car lines, omnibus and baggage
transfer lines, ferries, saw-mills and
threshing machines. But, if such
a scheme were consistent with pri-
yate rights it would yet be incon-
sistentw with good publicpolicy. It
would be fruitful source of parti-
SAN rarcor and administrative cor
ruption. The hosts of additional
goyernmentappointees wouldswell
the volume Of executive patronage
]
to threatening proportions. Then,
again, the sub-treasury, land-loan
and Government control al rail
roadssmacks too much Of class legis
lation to consist with the cherished
principle of equal rights to all ana
special privileges to none,' and can
not be agreeable to the broad and
comprehensive democracy Of our
American farmers and laborers."
The protest also alludes to the
great dissatisfaction and restless
ness of many good and true ALI
ancc men, with a wish to-co-opel-
ate with the National Alliance in
all efforts to fearlessly guard and
zealously conserve the principles
and institutions Of free govern
} ment, and to resist, by all lawful
means, all tendencies to govern
mental paternalism.
