OBITUARY.
G. Il. ZONES.

@. r. JONES.
G. r. Jones departed this life Janu-
airy 10, 1895, his age was 63 years. He
was born in Sullivan County May /,
1889; he was married to Miss Lizzie
Hoss November A., 1858, and unto them
eleven children were born. His second
marriage was to Miss Edna Eutsler,
March Z, 1882. The fruits of this mar
riage was six children, four of them
living. Mr.. Jones died a member of
the Christian Church, and had been a
member for several years. Brother
Jones was a-kind man, he was always
ready to lend a helping hand to the
poor and needy as far as he was able.
He saw a great deal of trouble; he lost
his first wife and seven children; now
his troubles are over; they all lay
sleeping side by side in the old Chero-
kee graveyard. How sad it is to see
his loving wife gathering her little
children around the table then looking
around she sees one is gone; no one to
take his place, none to smile upon the
little mes that he loved SO we'll; alas
when the angel of death came and
darkened the door of the beautiful
home and whispered low ''come;" then
he was gone. His loving wife waking
up the little children telling them their
papa was dead; weeping over the cold
gray locks that had been blooming for
che grave for several years. How we
miss our dear old papa; while our
hearts are so lonely without you and
the home seems all broken up we are
to say, THY will be done;" but oh, u
faltering feet linger by your grave and
our hearts burn within us with the
sweet remembrance OF your love for us.
Brother Jones bore his sickness cheer
fully; he knew his time would soon
come, he knew there was a better home
than this for him. His MANY friends
prayed that he recover from his pro
longed sickness, but God knew best,
and has called him home to rest. Dear
sister. children, your husband and
papa has gone where you will never
see him here on earth any more, but
you can meet him in heaven, where
you will never part.
o for a closer walk with God
A calm and heavily frame,
A light TO shine upon the road
That leads me TO the Lamb.

FROM MIDDLE TENNESSEE.
GABBATHA, Tenn, July G, 1895,

uABBATHA, TENN, July ., 1895.
Circuit Court is now in session at
G%ainesboro. The case of John Carter,
who killed his brother George, has been
postponed till the next term of the
court. The proof and the presumption
was so positive that the Attorney Gen
eral refused to recommend his release
on any kind of a bond. The States
Attorney said that he could not recon
mend his release on bond if every man
in the State should petition him to do
80. The crime was so shocking and
~inexcusible that John Carter will now
be moved to Nashville for safe keeping.
There is no chance left for him to
escape. A con vention of farmers and
representative Democrats and Republi.
cans assembled in Cookeville last Mon
day, and passed strong resolutions en-
dorsing and recommending the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1.
A close canvass of all the votes of Put
nam county has shown that there is
only twenty to thirty advocates of the
measure of 1873. The Republicans out
this way are unalterably opposed to
our party going into the canvass next
year, with any plank on the finance
question, unless it is for the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1. X.

Upper East Tennessee Poultry Associa.
ton.

On Thursday, July 4, in Johnson
City, was formed the Upper East Ten
nessee Poultry Association. The fol-
lowing gentlemen were elected officers
of the Association. President, w. d.
Andes, Bristol; Vice President, Tate L..
Ernest, Jonesboro s. W. Lyons,
Greeneville. Secretary and Treasurer,
II. c. Austin, johnson City. The object
of the Association is the encourage.
ment of the raising of fine poultry and
the dissemination of ideas pertaining to
the same. An executive committee
was appointed, who will, in a short
time, issue a list of premiums to be Civ
en- at a poultry show to be held in De-
cember, the date of which will be an
nounced in the future. 1t is the desire
of the committee that all persons
having fine poultry shall enter them
for the show and take such interest in
the matter as will insure a good exhi-
bition and a large attendance. The
advantage of showing fowls when CON-
petent judges are present to pass upon
the merits of the exhibit is great, as
any fowl that has a record of points
scored in an exhibition has a prestige
not to be gained in any other way.
Let all our poultry raisers make ar.
fragments to be present.
