A "TRIP UP SALT RIVER.
A Party That Will Leave Locust Mount
for its Headwaters.


LOCUST MOUNT, Tenn, Aug. s.-The
county election has been the all absorb
ing topic in these parts for some weeks
past, but now that it is over with and
the Democrats have found their Water
loo, the biennial trip up Salt River is
in order, and it has been decided that
Frank Cochran shall go clear up to the
very headwaters, right in the broiling
sun, but on account of his age and his
past services in the Republican party,
Allen Salts, Bob Conley and T~esSener
have been allowed to go with him to
battle his fevered brow and fan him.
Doc Leah has also promised to see
Brownlow and get him to still have the
p%ostofiice left on Blakely Creek instead
of moving it over to Locust Mount.
Doc has also promised to see the COM
mittee on arrangements and get them
to invite Major Pettibone to come over
and make a speech in the grove near
Franks house just as soon as they all
get back from Salt River.

Now that Squire Bowman has been
nominated for the Legislature by the
Democrats, we suppose, as a matter of
course, that he and Col. DUNCAN will
favor the good people of this county

a rich, rare and racy debate-a real
Barnum and Bailey circus and me-
nagerie combined, the greatest show
on earth, and one that the Republicans
should not fail to patronizel

AT the Democratic convention here
last Saturday it was a noticeable fact
that Squire James F. Nelson did not
sit in the inner circle of Democracy,
but sat on the outside of the railing
like a poor boy at Il ~frolic, and when
his name was announced as a delegate
he arose and stated emphatically that
he was not a delegate and did not wish
to serve, all of which goes to prove that
Jeems still loves Buck.

CRAWFORD.

The entire community was greatly
shocked and saddened at the news of
the rather sudden and unexpected death
of Mrs. Geo. w. Crawford shortly after
So'clock Saturday morning. For more
than a week Mrs. Crawford had been
confined to her bed by an attack of fe-
yer, but few persons, not even those OF
her intimate friends who were con-
stantly at her bedside, realized the fact
that her illness was of so serious a ma
ture, or that there was q likelihood of
its fatal termination. A change for the
worse, however, became evident Friday
night, and after sinking rapidly the pa
tient, at the hour above stated, passed
quietly away, surrounded by the men,
bers of the immediate family. Mrs.
Crawford was a lady of the most ex-
allied Christian character, and in her
death the community sustains an ire
parable loss. She leaves a husband
and two children, Miss Sallie and D. A.
Crawford, all of whom are utterly pros
trated by the terrible shock. The fu-
neral services conducted by the Rev. S.
A. Weber were held in the Methodist
church at 10 O'Clock Sunday morning,
in the presence of an immense number

LAWRENCE NEWMAN SYLVESTER.

Ia " hENNE NEN MAN SYN ESTER.
"Budded on earth to bloom in
heaven" Lawrence Newman Sylves-
ter, son of William II. and Sallie C.
Sylvester, died at his home at Locust
Mount, Tenn, on the Goth day of July,
1892, being three years and fifteen DAYS
old. He was a bright and beautiful
child beyond his years, and so sweet
and attractive that he was the pride of
his family and loved by all who knew
him. Although death came in such a
sudden and painful way, little New
man bore it all so sweetly, and at last
went to Jesus so peacefully, it did not
seem like death-truly it was not
death he just heard the voice of his
loving Saviour saying, Suffer the
children to come unto me-" and sweet
ly fell asleep upon the bosom of the
Tender Shepherd. Parents of the sad
ly stricken home, weep not for little
Newman, for he is safe in the arms of
Jesus. May the dear Lord guide your
footsteps to that Celestial City, where
the gates stand ajar, and where little
Angel Newman stands waiting to well
come you in.
You loved him, dearly loved him,
But the Saviour loved him more,
And He has sweetly called him
To a bright and beautiful shore.
The golden gates were opened,
A gentle voice said, Come,
And, with farewells still unspoken,
Little Newman calmly entered home.
