Tribute Of Respect.

On the morning of the oath, just as
the sun had thrown off the dark shades
of the night and arose to adorn the
approaching day, the spirit of Barney
farrell released itself from its terres-
trial prison, where for nearly eighty
six years it had been confined, and
winged its way to its celestial abode,
that house not made with hands, eter-
nal in the heavens. The death of
Brother farrell leaves to his family
the rich legacy of an honest, upright
and just man, the noblest work of
God,
AS companion, which he had been
| for siXty-three years the Goth of this
month, he was kind and atiectionate
as father, devoted to his children
as a Mason, ROne truer; as member
of the Baptist church, devout Chris
tian. So that at the close of his earth
| ly career he calmly folded his arms
across his breast and yielded up his
spirit to God, who gave it, without a
! dying struggle. Therefore be it
Resolved, that in the death of Bro
FARRELL Clarksville Lodge, No. 80, of f.
& A. Masons, mourn the loss of a
| true, tried and trusty Mason the
Church a faithful member; the com
munity a straightforward, honest and
industrious citizen. BE it further
Resolved, that the Lodge will attend
in body the burial of our deceased
brother at 2 p. m, and confer on him
the last sad Masonic rites, and that
the Jewels of the Lodge be draped in
mourning and the members wear the

days. BE it further
Resolved, that the TOBACCO LEAF
CHRONICLE be requested to publish
the above and furnish copies to the
family of the deceased brother and the

ers From Elytown.

TO the Tobacco Loal.Cmouicle.
On account Of the flood in the
Cumberland river business at the
bending works, which was suspend
cd since the eleventh inst, was re-
sumed Monday morning. The
firms portable saw-mill that was
located on Yellow creek has been dis
mantled and the machinery br ught
to the bending works. Possibly
another saw-mill may be erected
here.
Mr.. Smith, of Kentucky has lately
moved into one of the tenement

Again is 9the whistle of the ice fac
tory heard in our land admonishing
the people that summer is nigh.
Now that the annexation question
is settled we hope soon to have diff
ferent state of affairs from those that
are at present existing in this locali-
ty; and that pandemonium will be
no longer tolerated, but that the arm
of civil law will be extended to this
the now new addition to the incor-
porate limits of GAINESVILLE.
1t was our privilege recently to
visit the public school of our fair
city. We were cOurteOusly received
by the gentlemanly superintendent,
who extended to us the hospitality
of the building. After visiting sew
eral departments we were constrained
to say the half has never been TOLD
concerning the institution, for witt
a superintendent at the head like
Professor Graham and being assisted
by such an able ard fficient corp,
of instructors, the school can be
nothing but a success.
GAINESVILLE can truly be called
city OF churches for there are seven
teen buildings erected and dedicated
to the worship of God, and her pul
pits are supplied by noble band 0
Cody men.
On Thursday night, in compau!
with many other visitors we at
tended divine services at the College
Chapel. Five young men Of thu
Junior class delivered excellent ad
dresses. The first speaker, Mr.. Hill
took for his theme: "Jesus is God.
His address would have done credi
to an experienced divine. The mex
, speaker, Mr.. Wool, chose for hi
, subject the "persOEality of the hol!
, ghost" and his was also a splendid
discourse. We predict for thes'
young men a brilliant career.
If, with the talent cOnsecrated t.
the work of the Master, every pre-
lessed christian would live as reie
iOus the six days of the week as the.
t would seem to be on the Sabbath
: what a mighty work would b
I wrought in GAINESVILLE.

brand of corn and tobacco fertilizer,
for which they are sole agents in this
market Many farmers have tried
the brand and have given testimo
nitls as to its worth. VIM. Rogers,
one Of the leading farmers Of the
Woodford neighborho0d, last year
raised do pounds of tobacco to thu
acre with this fertilizer and says it is
the best in the market.
Capt. Harndon also gives 4 tc-ti
monial as to its worth. lie buys it
by the ear load and says it is the best
he has ever tried, and he has tried
nearly every brand. Many other
successful farmers contribute to its
worth and buy it in preference to any
other brand. Farmers will do well
to call ON Wood & Abbott before
making their purchases and
learn more about the Incres-
cent brand. Hundreds of tes-
timonials will be shown any one
wishing TO purchase fertilizer.

SHOT TO DEATH.
Jake Wilson BY Luke Golfers
Pistol Bullets.
Five Balls Enter The Negroes Body And
Yet He Fought Death For Two
Long Hours.

The citizens Of st. Bethlehem were
startled at an early hour this morn
ing by five pigtols shots fired in rapid
succession. An investigation re
vealed the fact that Luke Collier,
white, had shot Jack Wilson, negro
laborer, who was cropping on Col
lier's place.
Jas. Hodo, of st. Bethlehem, came
to the city this morning on the early
train and related the facts of the
shooting to reporter. Itseems that
Jack Wilson owned a pair of horses
which were fed in the same stable
with those belonging to Collier. MIR,
Collier noticed that his horses were
falling off in flesh rapidly, while the
negro's were gaining in flesh. lie
suspected that the negro was stealing
his (Collier's) corn out OF the trough
and giving it to his own horses. lie
concluded to watch the negro, and
about a week ago he caught him
stealing the corn. He ordered him
to stop it, and some words passed,
but nothing serious came of it. Col
Iier caught Wilson stealing the corn
again yesterday morning and then
again this morning. He ordered the
negro to take his team this morning
and leave the place, telling him that
it was a well established fact
that he was a notorious
thief and that he was not wanted Oh
the place longer. This enraged the
negro and he went off muttering
threats, telling Collier that he would
be back in short time and would
elk him." Collier went to Ihe
house, thinking very little Of the
threats until he saw the negro return
ing. AS a means Of precaution he
went to a bureau drawer, where's PTS
t0l was kept, and put the weapon in
his pocket and walked out to meet
the negro. Wilson, when he saw
Collier leave the house, began abus'
ing him and ran his hand into his
pocket in threatening manner, ad
vancing on Collier at the time. Col
lier ordered him to stop, at the same
time drawing his pistol. The negro
showed no disposition to obey The
order and Collier fired. The negro
still advanced, until Collier haC
emptied every chamber Of his pistol
Wilson tell at the fifth shot anc
asked Collier to quit shooting.
After the shooting Collier WalkeC
down to st. Bethlehem and notified
Sheriff station, surrendering himsel
to the officer by telephone. Sheriff
station went out to st. Bethlehem a
once and brought Collier to the city
and put him under bond for his ap
pearance at st. Bethlehem this even
ing at 3 o'clock for trial.
The negro was stuck by all five 0
the balls, twice in the leg, twice il
the neck and once in the side. He
died about two hours after the shoot
ing.
Jake Wilson was a bad man, anC
has figured in the criminal history o
the county for several years. AT the
last term of the Criminal court he
was prosecuted by f. M. Duffy fol
hog stealing, but got out on a techni
cality.
The only charge against Collier i,
that of drinking toexcess sometimes
but he was duly sober this morning
and the p ople around ST. Bethlehem
think he acted purely in self defense
in shooting the negro.

TUCKAROE'S OLD COUPLE.

Uncle Jimmy Layton, Aged 1O4, and His
Wife, Aged 50, Still Vigorous.
Uncle Jimmy Layton, who lives in tum-
ble-down shanty, half buried in swamp
about two miles from TuckahOe, will to-
morrow quietly celebrate his one hundred
and fourth birthday. says a Mays Landing
Pa.) special to the Philadelphia Times.
Though feeble in body and mind and very
poor, the old fellow is as cheerful as a cricket
and never tires of telling stories OF his past
life. Layton was born near Toms River,
Burlington County, July A. 1887. His father
was Walker Layton. who lived to be 102
years old, and his mother also reached the
century mark. They had q family OF eigh-
teen children.
In 1907 James Layton moved to Tuckahoe
and built the Ktna furnace. which is still
standing and made considerable money,
which he subsequently lost He married
carly in, in life Bashabee Jones, WHO sin lives
with him and is 9S years OF age. They had
thirteen children, only one of whom, an i'm
beetle deformed female, is still living with
the parents and for many years this queer
trio have existed in the little shanty i'll the
swamps.
This domicile consists of single room.
1t is loose, frame structure, meagerly fur
niShed and affords but scanty protection
from the elements. II is situated in clear
ing of about half acre just off the main
road, and is almost completely hidden by
the heavy growth of pine surrounding il.
All three sleep in a rickety old bed, while a
chicken coop occupies one corLer of the
howell, dilapidated stove another and a few
stools and time-battered cooking and eating
utensils are scattered around Their CLOTH
ing consists of rags, and their scanty supply
of food is Of the coarsest kind, but withal the
old folks seem contented, and, though Mrs.
Layton is now quite sick she declares she
Will live many more years TO take care OF
her husband and daughter.
For some years the township authorities
have allowed the family 50 a week. On this
they have managed to hive. A movement is
on foot to have them all sent to the aims
house, but the old man is opposed to such
course and declares he can make living
out OF the tiny vegetable garden lie and his
faithful wife have managed to keep alive.
TIE daughter, besides being an imbecile, is
a dwarf, aud has been helpless since her
birth. 1t is said that the old folks have sew
erdl children who are able 10 provide for
them, but who decline to aid them. Both
the old folks use tobacco, and until quite re-
Gently have enjoyed excellent health.

How distinctive PAPER" Is Made

The paper upon which bank notes are
printed is called distinctive paper" because
used exclusively by the Government for the
printing of bonds and notes. The mills
where il is manufactured are at Glen Falls,
Chester County, Pa. An agent of the Treas
ury Department receives the paper direct
frcm the hands OF the manufacturer, and
every precauti0n is taken to keep any of il
from being lost. When this distinctive
paper" is being made scraps of red silk
threads are mixed with the pulp in a big
tank. Tie finished material is conducted TO
wire cloth without passing through any
wire screen which might retain the silken
threads. Next, an arrangement above the
wire cloth scatters a shower OF blue silk
threads, which fall upon the paper as it is
being formed. The side upon which the
blue silk is deposited is used for the backs
of the notes, each thread being so deeply i'm
bedded as to remain permanently fixed. The
smooth side of the paper, that in which the
red threads alone are seen, Is used for the
front Of the note. Each of these sheets is
registered as soon as DISQUALIFICATION
