Death of A, q, Mason.

On Monday morning last our COM
munity was saddened by the
ment, that A. G. Mason was dead.
While his death was not altogether un
expected, still from the fact that be
seemed to be much better during the
latter part of last week, it came rather
as a surprise.
He was born in North Carolina, il
July 1918, and when just a boy came to
Sullivan County. In 1888 he came to
Jonesboro and began life as q black
smith. In lS49 he crossed the Plains to
California, where he accumulated
some money; and after his return home
engaged in merchandising, since which
time he has been a prominent figure in
the business circles of our town. He
was a prominent member of the Ma
sonic order and had at different times
represented his Lodge and Chapter in
the Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter
at Nashville. In fact he lived a long,
a busy and a useful life, and will be
greatly missed in this community
where he was so we'll and favorably
known.
Funeral services were conducted in
the Second Presbyterian Church, by
the Pastor, Rev. B. B. Bigler, after
which his remains were buried in the
old cemetery with masonic honors.

EDITOR HERALD AND TRIBUNE-In
the death of Major j. A. Bradshaw
there is a vacancy in the office of Tax
Assessor, and as there is a goodly num-
Der of worthy gentlemen who are APP.
p~licants for the above office, and no
doubt each applicant, if elected would
fill the Office with credit to himself and
with satisfaction to the people. But
while this is the case we all have our
own notions and preferences. There
fore l want to present to the public the
name of Chas. l.. Keener, of the Fiji
teenth District. Mr.. Keener is a man
of sound judgment, is strictly honest,
a practical farmer and a close observer
of every thing. And should he be
elected to the office of Tax Assessor.
There will be no use of any equalizing
board to overhaul his work at the ex-
pense of the tax payers. Mr.. Keener
worked up the Twelfth District last
year satisfactorily. Mr.. Keener is too
well known by the people and members
of our County Court for any further
comment by the writer. Hoping he
may be elected. l remain your friend,

OBITUARY.
MAI. JASON ALLEN BRADSHAW.

MAI. JASON ALLEN BRADSHAW.
Maj. Bradshaw has gonel His many
friends prayed that he might recover
from his prolonged sickness; but God
knew best and has called himup higher.
Mr.. Bradshaw died at Washington
College, Washington County, March l.,
1895. He was born in Mcdowell County,
North Carolina, May 1881. He was al
most sixty four years old,
August 80, 1860, he was married to
Miss Phoebe Wilson. To them FIVE
children were born, three of whom sur.
vive. His second marriage was to Mrs.
Lydia Wilson, January II, 1874. The
fruit of this union was three children,
two of whom are still living.
In the early part of the war our
brother deceased passed through the
lines to Kentucky and joined the Union
army. He became Major of the 18th
Tennessee Cavalry. He was a strong
union man and did some valiant SER
vice for the union cause.
He was a Christian. He was convert
ed and joined the Presbyterian Church
in 1861, and remained faithful to the
end.
He wanted to live for the good he
might do his loved ones and neighbors;
but he vas ready to die, always won
dering why mar wished to live in this
world of trouble and disappointment.
His favorite Bible verse was Eccl. /: ID:
II have seen all the works that are
done under the sun, and behold all is
vanity and vexation of spirit"
He was always certain of the reality
of the happiness and holiness of the
life beyond the grave. In the last hour
of his sickness he looked beyond to a
happy meeting of loved ones. Just be-
fore the last he exclaimed, 20 Father,
how long?" And then addressing his
family and physician he said, God
bless you all. You all have been so
good to me-"
One week ago today the writer saw
him for the last time. He was strong
in faith, resting in full assurance upon
the promise of God in Jesus Christ.
And SO he waited till He came-''whose
daily prophecy streams TO- in glory
through the advent gate"
The funeral service was held in the
College Chapel, Washington College,
last Saturday, at 2 o'clock, and was
largely attended. Rev. B. B. Bigler Of
ficiated, assisted by President Cooter.

REEBLER'S X ROADS.

At the solicitation of the young folks
at Berea, we had the pleasure of con-
Quoting a spelling bee" for them on
the evening of the second. When we
arrived there quite a select little as
sembly were in waiting. We intro
duced the exercises with some thoughts
on the advantages of correct spelling,
Misses Ada Hunt and Amanda Shipley
headed the classes, equal in number
and ability. Messrs. Mac Shipley and
James Keefauver pronounced for forty
five minutes. The tallies stood twenty
seven to twenty eight at the close. We
were agreeably surprised at the talent
exhibited by the pupils of Berea, 1t
has only been a few years since this
school was established, yet they are
fully able to compete with their neigh,
bors for literary honors, In their eff
forts for the championship which fol-
lowed the ''cadense" of Miss Addie
made the effort of Miss Amanda very
feeble. The last IRA" of hope for the
championship vanished with Gabe in
his attempt at spelling quadrilateral,
but the impassionate Ollie quickly sup
piled the correct letter and a kind of
satisfaction revived in him. Mr.. Hunt
shot out on a "radious," Miss Ool-
lie drew a ''tanjent" from about the
same point, while Jake and Mr.. Depew
united the extreme points of these lines
with another ''tangeant," deciding a
geometrical figure which Mr.. Martin
defined a ''scaleen." Miss Matte
spelled correctly cere, and scar seer,
but was downed because she could not
think of sere. Mr.. Hale escaped the
intense mental pressure on ''torid."
Horace Grisham rode out on his band
icord," Miss Mollie Martin on her
"beever," Miss Mollie Smith on her
"platipus," Jess Smith on his man
dril," Miss Bessie Keys on her 600
doo," Notwithstanding they had all
been marked by Will Barnes ''dia-
graph" Miss Rosa thought some of
them were STRIPPED" John Keefauver
thought right about it and SO carried
off the honors of the evening. There
will be another entertainment at the
same place on the evening of the 9th.
The occasion will be interspersed with
another exercises. We found Simon
Keefauver's a good place to stay all
night. G.

OLD TIMES IN JONESBORO.

OLD lin ES IN JON ESBOItO,
Lordy! don't / recollect
With a memory that is thorough,
The good old times we used to have
When boys in old Jonesborough.
They've dropped the ugh,
And this new tangled way
OF spelling 1t with just an o,
! guess has come to stay.
We used to wade the creek all day,
And get our "britches" wet,
An the paddlin's we got at home
can almost feel 'em yet.
We used to throw mud daubs
With a good strong timber switch,
And a Teller that happened to get in the
way
Was certain to howl and itch.
Green's Pond to us was quite a lake,
Whose equal had meier been seen,
Although the water often had a scum,
Which, like its name, was green.
Days when We didn't go to school
Was filled with ball, and tops and kites,
And when we played marbles for keeps
The game generally ended in fights.
We didn't have much money then,
But somehow had a knack
OF gettin' a nickle now and then
To spend with Barber Jack,
Who'kept the best stick candy,
1--WE were not hard to please)
And %raisins, nuts and everything
From hair oil up to cheese.
And often since / growed up,
I've felt like, don't you know?
I'd like to be a boy again,
Like / was in old Jonesboro.

ARCHIBALD G.. MASON.

Died at his residence in this city,
Monday morning, March 4, 1895; Archi-
bald G. Mason, beloved by all who
knew him.
He was born in Person County, N
c., July II, 1918 he was, therefore,
aged 81 years, 7 months and II days.
His days were a little over four score,
yet in spirit he never grew old. Thou
shalt come to thy grave in a full age,
like as a shock of corn cometh in his
season."
Mr.. Mason s family moved to Rlount-
vile, when he was quite young, and
was apprenticed to the blacksmith
trade in that town. At the completion
of his apprenticeship he moved to Jones'
boro, Tennessee, at about the age of
twenty, and began business for him
self. d..
At the age of twenty two he was
baptized and received into the Jones.
boro Presbyterian Church under the
pastorate of Rev. j. Whiteield Cum
bingham.
About the year 1886 he was elected
to the Office of Deacon in this church.
In 1874 he was, elected to the office of
Ruling Elder; be was Chairman of the
Board of Trustees and in these offices
he served the church most faithfully
until his death.
In 1889 he represented the Presby-
terry of Holston in the General Assem-
bly,, which met in New York City.
On March 10, 1889, he was married
to Lucinda Ryland; daughter Of Colo
mel John Ryland. She died in 1854.
In 1S49 he crossed the plains to Califor-
mia, joining the thousands of adventu.
rers in search of gold. He was six
months in making the journey.
In October 8, 1855, he was married to
Mrs. Angelina E. Ryland, daughter of
DR.. John E. Carson, and widow of John
Ryland, Jr.
To him were born fourteen children,
ten of whom are living.
Each death has for us its own lessons.
Our brother was a self made MAJ. He
was a man of determination of hopeful
ness and of large %sympathios. His
changes of life were many, his trials
many, his burdens great, but with re-
markable energy and perseverance he
overcame the difficulties of life.
He grew better with age, ripper and
more mellow. The grain of Christian
principle planted in his youthful soul
developed into a large crop of happi-
ness and holiness on earth aud to a
harvest of JOY in heaven.
He kept young to the last. He loved
his church. he loved his Bible. He
loved to attend all the services of the
church. He was always present, if
possible. Last year he was present at
every Sabbath School service, and was
present sever Sabbaths of this year, up
to the time of his sickness.
He never dreamed of unyoking his
tired faculties. He believed that the
place to die is on the field of battle
with the harness on.
May his long and useful life, his godly
example and his ~ripeness for heavenly
life excite us who remain to a better
life. The funeral service was held in the
Second Presby terrain Church Tuesday,
2 O'Clock; Rev. B. B. Bigler officiating.
