Common People Of Chilli Look for War
and Expect Aid.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, January 2O.-Pri-
vate advices from authentic sources in
Chilli, state that among the common
people of that country there is talk as
ifwar will result. The Chilians have
idea that their government will back
down or retract any words or act.
They consider themselves strong and
expect additional strength from Eng
land. They agree that the United
States is able to whip their vessels off
OF the face OF the ocean, but they doubt
not their ability to secure recognition
and aid from England or to secure
England's war ships by purchase.
II the informant is correct represen-
tatives Of the Chilian Government are
now in England working on both
propositions. According to the orders
received today the cruiser Charleston
will sail Tuesday or Wednesday for
San Francisco. She is simply waiting
the arrival of new paymaster and
surgeon. DR.. J. d. Parker arrived
last evening from Philadelphia and re-
ported to Admiral Brown. He will 90
with the Charleston. The paymaster
was expected last night, but as he did
not arrive he will be here today. The
Charleston will then proceed at once
to Mare Island.

Mrs. Polly Ann Templin.

Inc SUBJECT oil THIS sketch, Mrs.
Polly Ann Templin, nee Lloyd, was
borne in Washington county, E. Ten
nessee, on the 14th OF May, 1929.
When about twenty-five years Of
age she professed religion and became
a member Of the Methodist Church at
Bethesda in her native county.
A few months afterward, on the 10,
OF August 1851, she was married to
William Templin and on the 27 Of
December, 1891, she fell asleep in
Hawkins county, Tenn, and was
buried in the little village buring
ground just west of st. Clair in said
county.
Such in brief is the record of the
leading events in the life of one who
as a women, wife and mother was pre-
emently model in all that combinds
to fully and perfectly round out and
complete the character Of true echristian
womanhood.
The writer knew Mrs. Templin for no
brief period and this tribute to her
memory it is not the least necessary
color with fattery or meaningless
words of praise. She was verify a
"Mother in Israel" woman in whom
the heart of her husband, now aged,
bereft, and most keenly feeling his
bereavement could safely trust
OF the four children, two sons and
two daughters, both the latter preced-
ed their mother to the spirit land.
The younger of the sons resides with
the father at the old homestead Of
which the light is now gone out and
the other, Prof. John F. Templin, is
teaching in Johnson City schools and
was visiting his mother when she
died
The funeral service was held in the
G, P. Church in st. Clair, by Revs R,
G. Horner and ]. ]. Carroll, and the
presence Of a large congregation bore
testimony to the esteem in which the
deceased was held by the community
in which she lived.
AS natural and peaceful as if sleep
ing the good mother looked as she lay
in the coffin while the friends passed
round and gazed on the face which
they shall behold no more until the
resurrection morning.
To the sorrowing ones we would
say IN the often quoted words of The
| inspired writer "sorrow not ns those
who have no hope The darkness
and gloom which now envelop vii
give place, by and by, to the colder
radiance and the father and brothers
may hope to meet the mother anC
sisters in the land where people nevel
die.
''There is no death the stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright nj heavens jeweled crown
They shine for ever more"
"There is no death an angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread,
And bears our best loved ones away
And then we call them dead"

And raise most everything at horne
