for the meeting, and we suggest that they.
request the Mayor to have number OF
policemen scattered through the crowd
with instructions TO arrest each and every
person who attempts to create row or
disturb the meeting In ANY way. or
course, We have too much confidence in
ou. people to believe that they would at
tempt anything of this sort, but some.
times the best of men lose control OF them
selves, and it will do no harm to have
officers present whose duty it will be TO
obey the instructions Of the Committee IN
charge of the meeting.

Anderson County has lost another one
OF its best citizens In the death of Mr.. VIM.
s.. Martin, which occurred suddenly at his
home In Williamson Township last
wednesday. Two brothers-in-law, with
their wives, were spending the day with
Mr., and Mrs. Martin, and were sitting on
the piazzs enjoying pleasant converse
ton, when suddenly Mr.. Martin stopped
over slightly and fell out Of his chair.
Before his loved ones could realize what
had happened he was dead. It is the gen.
eral opinion that apople1y or heart disease
was the cause of his death. Mr.. Martin
was about 60 years Of age. and had spent
the greater portion Of his life in the section
where he died. He served faithfully
through the war, and had the confidence
and sgood will Of very large circle OF
his place as friend, neighbor and q
oitizsn will be hard to fill. He leaves no
children. To his devoted wife we tender
our sympathies. Truly, good man has
gone to reap the rewards Of we'll spent
life.
