Death of Miss Kate Deaderick.

1t was with deepest regret that we
heard of the death of Miss Kate Dead.
erick. She passed to her reward last
Tuesday at about 8 o'clock r m. The
cause of her death was heart trouble.
The day before she had been unusually
well, but died soon after retiring.
Though she had been in feeble health
for W years or more, her death was
quite unexpected. On Wednesday at
ESQ T. M. the funeral was conducted
from her home in this place by her
pastor, Rev. j. P. Doggett, many of
her friends being present to show her
richly merited respect, and 10 mingle
their sorrow with that of the griei
stricken relatives. As a woman, Mi S.
Kate was unsurpassed. Sweet, as she
was in her noble and christian
character, and rare in her accomplish
ments, she will long live in the memo
RES OF those who knew and loved her.
She spent some time abroad in the
study OF music, after which she re.
turned and became a most efficient
teacher in the Jonesboro Graded School.
Immediately after the funeral her re-
mains were laid to rest In the old Gem.
etery on Rocky Hill. Long live her
memory and pure example in the
hearts of our people. The Herald and
Tribune extends sympathy to the grief
stricken friends and relatives. See &C.
count of her life and death in another
column of this issue.

OBITUARY.
A,DEADERICK


Tie sudden death of Miss Kate
Deaderick. which ACQUIRED at her home
ia Jo"esboro, Tennessee, on the eve.
ming of the nth of September, 1895,
cast u gloom ove many families of
our town, as from time to time during
the hours of the night, the news was
borne to the homes of her friends, her
relatives. and the members of the little
church. of which she was one of it's
strongest pillars.
After the usual family devotions on
Tuesday evening she and her sister re-
tired, but in q short time they were
aroused, Miss Kate calling out, "Sister.
sister, " and at the same time asking
for certain remedies which she kept at
hand.
All assistance possible was rendered;
her speech from the first began to fail;
every appliance proved fruitless; the
attack grew worse, and in q short time,
Miss Kate Deaderick was no more.
During the sharp struggle she was
heard to say, II think He has come
for me-" and also, ut is the Lords
doings," while yet, her last broken
words were, Lord Jesus Christ"
In her character, she was steady,
firm and decided, and her Judgment
was marked with Difference in what
ever circle it was called into requi-
sition.
She was true to the causes she es-
poused, and her confidence in the
Southern Presbyterian Church never
for one moment wavered.
Her excellence as a teacher, her
skill in music. her training in the best
schools of Europe, her well balanced
mind. her highly cultivated intellect,
together with that sweet modesty with
which she was eve adorned, made her
appear as a most precious half hidden
diamond. She was born in the present
home Of Judge kirkpatrick, being, at
the time of her birth, the home of her
father, Franklin Deaderick. To her
brothers, DR.. Eugene Deaderick, of
Knoxville, Prof. Thomas Deaderick, of
GAINESVILLE, and David Deakerick, of
Missouri, and also her sisters, Mrs.
Glenn, of Winston, North Carolina,
and Mrs. Rogan, near Jonesboro, much
sympathy is extended, and especially
to Miss Sue l.. Deaderick, who. more
than any q else, must feel the aching
void her death occasions.
A short service was conducted by
her pastor al the home, and the re-
mains were laid in the old cemetery at
Jonesboro, of which her sister said,
"Our square is rapidly filling up, but
there are none of whom it may be said,
There is no hope"
blessed are the dead that die in the
Lord"

Death Of Eugene M, Shipley.

We were Mortified last Friday after
noon when it was announced on the
street that death, like a grim monster,
had thrown his sable mantle over one
of our homes, and had claimed as its
victim u of our noblest young men.
We sometimes wonder why the just
God takes from us our brightest and
noblest young men.
Eugene NJ. Shipley was just entering
manhood, with all the promise posi-
Bile for a young man who was deter
mined to carve his own way. He was
his fathers pride and his mothers su.
preme joy, and was the warm and ge-
NAL friend of all who knew him. He
was a schoolmate, a genial friend and
a boon companion, and sad indeed was
tito us when it was announced that he
was dead. We were struck with awe,
for it had only been a short time since
he left here to enter school at Athens,
where he contracted that dread disease,
typhoid fever, from which he died Just
seven days after his return home. Eu-
gene was an exemplary, christian
young man, and his every impulse in
life was of that kind and christian
spirit which was so beautifully brought
out in his life. No one was ever heard
to speak of him except in words of
praise. In school he was always at.
tentive to his books and obedient to his
teacher, and one marked characteristic
Of his was promptness of action. When
he had a duty to perform he was never
tardy in the performance of that duty.
We shall miss Eugene as an associate
member of our Sunday school class and
as a member of our Epworth League,
and also as a consistent and faithful
member of the church. We shall miss
him from our social circles, as he was
always a favorite Of the set of young
people with whom he mixed and min
gled. He will be missed from his home
and those who were anxious that he
might succeed in acquiring for himself
an education, which was his great am
bition. But we must remember that
this earthly life has been fittingly
chara cterized as a pilgrimage through
this vale of tears. In language of pc.
etry, man himself has been called a
pendulum betwixt a smile and a tear.
The clearest mind only sees through a
glass darkly; hence, we can not under
stand the providence of God 10 taking
from us our friends and those whom W g
love.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind q frowning providence
He hides a smiling face"

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Death of Mrs. Charles :. Mason.

This is perhaps the saddest death that
has occurred in Jonesboro for some
time. The Lord, in His allwise
providence, has seen fit to take this
good young woman from our midst.
She had just arrived at ithe zenith of
womanhood, but this should remind us
that death comes upon us when we
least expect it. Mrs. Mason was a low.
ing wife end a gentle mother, and sad
indeed it is to think of that grief strick-
en- father and husband, who is left
with three little children to fight the
battle of life.
Mrs. Mason was the youngest of elev-
en- children, seven Of whom have pre-
coded her in the race of life. She was
a daughter of Rev. N. NJ. Harris, who
lived about three miles south of this
place.
Her remains were laid to rest in the
new cemetery Sunday afternoon in the
presence of a large concours of rela-
tives and friends. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. j. D. Hickson,
pastor of the church of which she was
a very faithful member.
