G. A. Il. Picnic.

Seven or eight hundred people at
tended the picnic rallysat Fall Branch
last Saturday, gotten up by the Jer-
aldstown G. A. r. Post and citizens of
Fall Branch and surrounding country.
The day was fine, the behavior splen-
did and the exercises interesting from
first to last. The singing conducted by
Mr.. Brandon was far ahead of anything
of the kind ever heard on such an oc-
casion. The addresses of Rev. Geo. B.
Cox, DIR. John B. White, Rev. ]. N.
Baker, j. r. Basket and Mr.. Hall, as
well as the Rotations by parties whose
names we failed to get, were appropri-
ate and highly spoken of by those in
attendance. A basket dinner in album
dance supplied the wants of the inner
nan Miss Middleton, of Jeraldstown,
when the graves were decorated deliv-
cred an address for the Post at the tomb
of SIX. N. Patton that was pronounced
one of the best things of the day.

Prof. Robert L, Hunt, of McPheters
Bend, was married Monday, Oct. 2, 1893,
to Miss Isabella Hale, at Church Hill, a
sister to Mrs. Bruner whose marriage
is announced in this issue. Mr.. Hunt
and his wife attended the reception
given his brother in law Mr.. Drummer at
the Planters House Thursday night,
and then like a good Republican he is
came round and subscribed for the
Herald and Tribune. Mr.. Hunt is a
native of this county and has many
relatives and friends here who join in
congratulating him over his marriage,
and hope later on to have the pleasure
of congratulating him on his enomi-
nation as the Republican candidate for
Trustee of Hawkins County, if he de-
cides to enter the race.

OBITUARY..
HoUSER.

l. HOuser was bornin Bedford County
Virginia, December 90, 1929, and died
June 3, 1893. He was married to Miss
Ann Yeager, May 2, 1855. Four chill
dren were born, to them one son and
three daughters.
The son and two daughters still live.
The Oldest daughter, Maria who was a
great pet of her father, has gone to the
spirit world.
Mr. Houser was converted at the age of
eighteen and united with the Metho-
dist Church at Abingdon Virginia.
He was a man of few words, of firm
conviction. of noble principles and of
tenderest sympathy.
He was a faithful christians consist
ant member of the church, a devoted
husband and a loving father. All
who knew him held him in high esteem,
by his family and many friends he was
dearly loved. He had long been af-
ficted and suffered very greatly but
was always patient.
A little while before he died while in
great agony he said to his wife /: II
cheerfully endure this pain in anticipa-
ton of the rest and peace which I shall
o o enjoy l regret to leave you and
the children, but am ANXIOUS to go. 1t
would give me pain to know that you
grieve after me, for l shall be at rest
As he neared the river of death his
countenance seemed to reflect the joys
of the heavenly world and left upon
his face a smile of gladness.
May the sacred ties thus temporarily
severed be reunited in the home above.
May his consistent life, peaceful and
triumphant death be an..inspiration to
his many friends, and may the sad
bereavement be sanctifed to the glory
of God in the salvation of man.
A FRIEND.

NOTES FROM THE HILL.

Still u numbers continue to grow.
We now have 25S. Hope none will
think 1t too late to enter.
Miss Kelly is back again after two
weeks absence on account of sickness,
and we are all very glad to see her.
1t seems as if Miss Jessie Kirkpatrick
has to do as much teaching as any of
the regular teachers. She taught for
Miss Kelly while she was sick, and as
soon as she was able to come back Miss
Minnie Kirkpatrick took sick and Miss
Jessie takes her place. We hope Miss
Minnie will soon be able to be out.
Ask Prof. Sheriff. and Miss Minnie
Kirkpatrick what they think of the
first sight of Prof. Chavron.
The Tenth Grade has begun chemis-
try. 1t is sooner than the grade took
it up last year.
Mr.. Deal entered school Monday, also
Miss Miller.
The literary societies had their cleo.
ton Friday. The Alpha Sigma elected
Will Reeves, President Opie Warlick,
Vice President, and Rollin Simpson,
Secretary. The Bainonian elected
Kathleen Reeves, President; Maud
Farnham, Vice President Ethel Chase,
Secretary, and Anna kirkpatrick, Lii
brarian. These societies have several
new members this year, and expect to
do good work.
1t is now chestnut time, and boys if
you have to stay in for eating them
during school hours, you must not think
hard.
Bert Simpson and Albert Sabin have
returned from the Worlds Fair, are
now in school.
Chauncey and Bertha Hacker have
gone to the Fair. Sam Haws has been
gone for a week. Those who go have
a good time while there, but a hard one
when they come back.

TO OUR PATRONS.

1t is an unpleasant thing to US to be
compelled to dun our patrons, but as so
many Of them are in arrears and the
money is so sorely needed, and is not
comingin n, no other course is open to us.
While no one owes a great deal, the
aggregate is considerable, and will, if
we can get it, aid us greatly in carrying
on the paper. While we have to pay
the cash for labor and material, we
will, if you have not got the money to
pay, accept produce of any kind, such
as wheat, corn, oats, fruit, potatoes,
wood, chickens, lard, in fact anything
we can use in any way. All we ask is
what is due us as a recompense for our
labor We have sent out a collector
this week with a number of bills, and
hope that when he calls you will be
prepared to settle, and that no one will
take offense at the presentation of the
bills. Help us now, friends, and we
promise you a good paper in the future
and one fully worth all we ask for it.
We will furnish the Herald and Trib-
une and American Farmer and Farm
News for n dollar a year, to all who
pay in advance. This is a good chance
to secure your county paper and a first
class agricultural paper for a small
amount, and none should neglect the
opportunity.

STAR.

Fodder pulling with all its trials has
been upon us for the past three weeks,
and Home Sweet Home" is the favor
lite them of the young Cincinnatus
who goes to the field with the rising
suns, and whose song as he returns
from his work mingles with the voice
of the screech owl. Wheat sowing is
coming on and it is the usual sight to
see the farmers returning from Jones
boro with the indispensable fertilizer"
Owing to the hard times health has
been generally good; since we must
practice economy let US save doctor
bills by remaining well. School open
ed at this place Sept. IS, with an atten.
dance of thirty; up to the present time
the enrolment has reached forty seven
and the prospects for a successful term
are good. The school at Jackson's near
this place has enrolled between fifty
and sixty, and is in a flourishing con-
dition. A Literary Society will shortly
be formed which will add greatly to the
advantages of the school. Things pre-
sented a lively appearance around the
warehouse of r. M. K. Deakins for
several days last week. Wagons were
coming in and leaving for Jonesboro
loaded with wheat and canned fruit.
The Squire says that if his friends at
that place will overlook all negligence
of the past he will try to get to town
himself by the latter part of this week.
The teachers of this and the 14th Dis
trict, are trying to get up an Education
al Department in the Herald and Tri.
bune, to which all teachers of the coun-
ty will be expected to contribute. What
do you think of it teachersy Let us
have it by all means. On last Thurs
day morning our quiet valley was
aroused by the merry voices of we'd
ding bells. Joe Hunt and Miss Mary
Walker were united in marriage at the
home of the brides parents. May their
life be a long and happy one is the
wish of the writer. MONITOR.
