OBITUARY..

William Ross Fine answered the
summons of death on July Z, 1898. He
was born May II, 1S43, and therefore
had lived half century. The history
Of those who plod along the private
walks OF life for fifty years, would in
many instances make an immense
volume. The subject Of this sketch
was man of moral worth, and the
substantial elements of his character
made him q valuable member OF the
society in which he moved.
1t is not our purpose to land the
virtues nor magnify the goodness of
the man who has passed away, but we
are warranted in saying that he has
served we'll his day and generation.
He was not at all free from the weak
ness and shortcomings which belong
to humanity, hut since he is absent
from the body, we think of him as q
redeemed spirit free from human
frailty and crowned with Immortality.
If we are assured that our friends
die in the Lord, it makes our grief less
poignant. Our friend and relative
was converted about twentyse-ven
years ago under the preaching of M.
Y. Noffsinger. He became member
OF the Baptist church, and through
sunshine and storm has adhered to
the faith OF those who persevere to the
end.
His wife and three sons survive him
and their bereavement is very sore
none con know their sorrow except
those oyer whose threshold the shad
i ow OF death Fave fallen, but they are
!. comforted by the thought that hus'
band and father rests in the paradise
of GOD.
The weight OF bodily affection tire at
n ened to crush him for years, and this
y together with the many vicissitudes o
o life, would make one yearn for tn
freedom and rest which remains to tn
freedom of God. He said he ha
= trusted the Lord in the years gone b
= and that he could still trust him as h

A Slight Wreck.

A small wreck occurred to the east
bound local on the East Tenn, in
Johnson City Tuesday. A box car
was opposite the Piedmont House by
a loose break beam, and was dragged
up to Market street on the ties before
the engineer discovered it. The train
was only half an hour late plenty long
enough, however, for the entire popu,
lace to turn out and offer valuable
information to the deficient railroad
men.

A filter for removing grease, which
often passes into boilers with the feed
water. consists of a metallic chamber or
filter box in which are a series of gratings,
and between these gratings are placed
layers of wire gauze and flannel of a spe-
cial texture. which forms the fltering me-
dunn. The feed water from the donkey
pump enters the filter box from one side,
passes upward through the filter cloths
and thence out to the boiler, the scum
passing away through another outlet.
By this mean it is found that all grease
