FUNERAL SERVICES.
The Remains of DR.. Thomas
Rest in Greenwood.
Services Held at the Residence of DR. E
r. W. Thomas on Madison Street.
Largely Attended.

"A large cOncOurse of borrowing
friends assembled at the residence O.
DR.. +. r. w. Thomas, on Madison
street, this morning at 10 o'clock tC
attend the funeral services over the
remains of DIR. T. A. Thomas. The
services were conducted by Revs. Fl
B. Reams, E. NJ. Harrell and A. M
Growden. The choir sang "Nearer,
My God, to Thee" and Rev. Harrell
read psalm "Lord, thou hast been
our dwelling place." etc. Rev. A.
M. Gowden led in prayer. "Oh,
Lamb of God l come," was sung by
the choir.
Rev. III. B. Reams then spoke feel
ingly of the dead. He had only
known the deceased a short time,
therefore his remarks were founded
mainly on the reputation of DR..
Thomas. This he reviewed, citing
his many excellent traits of character,
above all, his devotion to God and
his love for mankind, only a few
hours before his death he had been
seen in the sanctuary of God, in his
accustomed place, hearing the gospel
preached, This love for God, and his
service, was strong index to his
character, and should be initiated by
those of his friends and acquaintance
who are left behind.
His benevOlence had also been
often remarked. All who went to
him for help got it SO far as his means
would permit. This not only ap-
piled to members of his circle of ac-
quaintances, but to all mankind. He
was also a Mason, and within the
sacred retreats of that brotherhood he
had always been found brother in
in every sense of the word.
Above all, though he was a man who
feared God and loved his fellow
creatures.
AT the close of the remarks the re-
mains were turned over to the Ma
sonic fraternity, aud q short service
was held over the casket by the Blue
Lodge. The remains were then
escorted to Greenwood, where they
were inferred by the above lodge and
Clarksville Commandry.
The pail bearers were: A. S. Wood,
Dr. N. l.. Northington, Jno. II. Gun
ningham and Il. Ledbetter, from the
Commandry and Simon Bloch, DR..
Slayden, F. f. Fox, and George
Alwell from the Blue Lodge.
The floral offerings were numerous
and beautiful.

A WAR RELIC
Frame Made From the Door Post of Fort
Donelson Water Battery Magazine.

w. ID. Turnkey has placed upon our
table a picture frame, of oak, which
he made out of the last remaining
piece of wood from Fort Donelson.
The frame, the stump of q door-post,
has two bullet holes through it
made by Federal minnie balls, thirty
years ago. Mr.. Turnkey cherishes it
as a relic of the fierce contest in which
the South met its fist signal reverse,
after several days of terrific conflict
with the over-powering forces of
Gen. Grant, greatly outnumbering
the poorly armed Confederates. The
frame surrounds a card bearing this
inscription:
This frame | made out of the last
remaining piece of wood from Fort
Donelson. 1t was the stump ofa door
