A Life of Much Promise Cut Short BY
Deaths Cruel Hand.

The johnson City correspondent of
the Bristol Courier has the following
to say relative to the death of Chas.
M. Ross
Chas. NJ. Ross died of consumption
at his fathers home few miles south

been gradually declining in health for
several months.
The deceased was about twenty
years of age. He WAC the youngest
son Of Mr.. aud Mrs David Ross. who
moved from Greene to Washington
county few years ago. G A. Ross,
brother Of the deceased, resides here.
There are many people in upper
East Tennessee who will hear with
deep regret OF the early d. ath OF this
young man. He was constant stu
dent and had an exceptionally bril-
liant intellect At very early age
he developed taste for literary work.
and at bis d, atb had acquired great
proficiency IN the art Of composition
He had contribu ] to Puck aud JUdge
and to the Detroit Free Press, and bis
storie and sketches were always new
He hal keen sense Of the humorous
and his thought, always satirical, took
pleasant and agreeable turn. Some
of his happiest contributions were in
verse, He contributed literally tC
the Tennessee 1'winklings, paper
which was published by his brother
at this place, and many OF his sketches
and humorous sayings went the
ronhds of the press.
He was a young man OF high Chris
tian principle, and had he lived b,
would in all probability have become
noted as story writer and sketch ar
list,
He was being educated at Washing
ton College, and had made rapid ad
r yancement in the science and Ian

AFTER THEIR MONEY.
N. W. Aver a Son Suing Chamber of
Commerce Subscribers.


Here Is another little incident which
the receding Of the boomtide that
reached Bristol some time ago has
left high and dry on the shores Of time.
When the chamber of commerce was
organized with a great hurrah several
years ago everybody was scorching, if
not actually burning with enthusiasm.
"Let's advertise Bristol was the cry
and IN n little while a number OF sub
scriptious were secured for an adver-
Using fund. N. w. Aver & Son, ad.
vertsing rgents, Of Philadelphia, were
secured to do the advertising. They
had faith in the subscribers to the adj
vertisiug fund. 1t came to pass that
IN the course OF time the chamber OF
commerce died. N. w. Aver & Son
began to whistle for about 1000, bal
ance due them on account. There
was nothing to pay the subscriptions
to and so they were not paid. Aver
& Son grew weary of whistling and
they brought suitin the Bristol, Tenn,
chanoery court through their attor.
neys, Col. n NJ. Taylor, Col, G. R.
Vance and j. II, Winston, Jr The
subscribers entered demurrers to the
bill filed in chancery and the court
sustained them. The lawyers are now
consulting with Aver & Son about
taking the claim to the supreme court
