A Pleasant Affair.

No doubt the most pleasant enter
tainment of the season was that given
last Tuesday evening by f. L. Britton
to the Knights and Ladies of Honor,
due to the fact that he was chosen by
the Lodge to represent them at the
meeting of the Grand Lodge which con-
venes in Memphis sometime in April.
An oyster supper was served to the
following guests. Capt. A. s. Dead
erick, NJ. S. Peoples. f. F. Dosser, A.

Chas. Brown, Joe Brown, H. H. Nc

S. kirkpatrick, II. H. kirkpatrick, A.
S. Murray, ]. II. Epps, S. B. Keefauver.
Mrs. Britton served the oysters in
any style and therefore met the wishes
Of all the guests. Celery, salad, pickles
cheese, straws and coffee, were also
served. In fact the entire affair was
elegantly arranged by the hostess, and
the Lodge will no doubt long remem-
Der Frank for the hospitable n
in which he expressed his appreciation
of the favor and honor conferred on
him by electing him to represent them
at the Grand Longe.

The Gold Flower,

The flower, so fttingly called Gold
Flower, was produced by NJ. Moser, of
Versailles, France, and introduced in
Europe last summer, the plants selling
at a very high figure, only a few plants
coming to America. The flowers are
two to three inches across, of a bright,
shining, golden yellow and bearing
numerous handsome stamens. The
plant is of a low, spreading, branching
growth, with handsome leaves, the up
per side much darker than the lower.
1t is perfectly hardy, forms an excel
lent border, OF is grand for bedding,
while as a single pot plant it is charm
ing with its clean, bright green foliage
as a background for the flowers, great,
shiny yellow disks, brilliant in their
their reflections as FURNISHED gold.
This year an enterprising firm is Of
fering it at the price of ordinary plants,
viz, 20 cents a plant.

Sons, Rochester, New York, for Wick

Like A Girl of Sixteen,

Is the way the Electropoise makes old
folks feel.
Kobe, KY, July 2, 1894.
Dear Sirs-I am sixty five years old
today and my wife is fifty eight; with
the help of the Electropoise, and bar
ring accidents, w expect to reach one
hundred. The Electropoise has proved
itself such an enemy of disease, aches
and pains, that it is almost impossible
for the two to remain under the same
roof, and when they do come together
it is not long until the Electropoise is
the victor. One thousand dollars
would be no inducement for me to
part with it; money could not buy it.
l think it is the greatest life saver of
the age, besides a money saver as well.
1t has never failed to relieve pain in
thirty minutes. A neighbor lady
sprained her ankle badly, it panied
her so she could not eat or sleep; in a
half hour the Electropoise had relieved
the pain and greatly reduced the swell
ing. Sun pain in the eye, toothache,
and boil l have relieved in o few min
utes. Rheumatism cured in a few ap-
pl~ications; in fact aches and pains will
flee from an Electropoise like snow
from the MONDAY sun. 1t makes old
folks feel young again. | have been
unable to work for twelve years until
this summer. | work on my farm and
don't get tired. My wife was not able
to do any work, now she gets around
like a sixteen year old girl.
Yours truly, JACOB PECK.

County Poor House.

The County Court adopted the fol-
lowing last Wednesday. Be it resolved
that it is the sense of this Court that
the county farm or poor house of this
county as now situated is inadequate
to the demands of the county, as it is
in an out of the way place, as has been
suggested by the last Grand Jury.
That the County Court sell said coun
ty farm and locate another near the
center of the county. Be it therefore
resolved that the chairman appoint a
a committee of five to sell the said
county farm and purchase another
more centrally located, and that said
committees action shall first be rati-
fed by the County Court at a subse.
quent meeting of said Court.

Q. h. Jones, a member of the County
Court, and n of the leading citizens
Of the county, died at his home in the
Fourth District last Thursday of dropsy
and heart disease. He was buried al
Cherokee, on Saturday. A number of
Jonesboro friends had made arrange
ments to attend the funeral, but the
blizzard struck the town about s Am.
and prevented them from going. The
Herald and Tribune extends to the rel
atives and friends its full sympathy in
their great loss in this sad bereavement.
Last Thursday night some hoodlums
broke one of the large panes of glass in
the window of Keebler's Meat Market,
also one in Weem's Market. AT about
II o'clock the same parties, it is sup
posed got in the depot and assaulted
Mr.. Mahoney, the night Waterman.
They were arrested by Sheriff Pritchett,
but could not be held on account of
want of evidence. 1t is said they were
from Morristown. 1t is about time
some of the roughs who come to Jones'
boro to indulge in lawlessness were
treated to a substantial dose of law.
We congratulate j. A. FEBRUARY on
his selection by Mr.. Parker, the pur.
chaser of the Embreeyille property, to
act as agent and manager of this prop
erty for the London Trust Company,
pending a reorganization of the com
pany and the resumption of work at
that place. Mr.. Parker could not have
made a better selection in the State, for
this important and responsible trust.
Mr.. FEBRUARY is one of Jonesboro s most
intelligent, progressive and influential
citizens, and his selection is a compli-
ment to our town. May the new owners
of this property live long and prosper,
is our wish.

Death of Rev. q. Taylor.

From the South Florida Sentinel we
copy the following in reference to the
death of Rev. G. Taylor, which occur
red in Jacksonville, Florida, Wednes.
day, January 8. Mr.. Taylor was we'll
known here and is remembered by
many of our older people:
"a gloom of the deepest sorrow was
cast over III city Wednesday morning
upon receipt of a telegram from Jack.
sonville announcing the sudden death
of Rev. G.. Taylor, one of the most
highly esteemed citizens of our com.
munity. Only the night before he had
left his family and friends in the best
of spirits and in his usual good health
for Jacksonville to attend the annual
conference of the Methodist Church.
He arrived in Jacksonville about Z
O'Clock and had left the depot with a
local minister for the residence of DR..
Hy. Robinson, where he was to stop.
On nearing the residence he informed
his companion that he was tired, and
would stop a minute to rest before 60
ing in. His fellow minister thought
nothing of it, and told him he would
go On to his residence, a short distance
beyond. 1t was but u short time before
he was seen to stagger and fall assist
ance was quickly rendered, but it was
thought he vas dead by the time his
head struck the ground. The body was
placed in charge of an undertaken and
brought to Orlando Wednesday night
in charge of Rev. B. X. Thrower. 1t
was met at the depot by many loving
and admiring friends, and taken to the
family residence on Orange Avenue.
Here it remained until yesterday after
noon at 2 O'Clock, when the funeral,
conducted by Rev. B. K. Thrower and
Rev. w. W. Elwang, took place from
the Methodist church, which he loved
so well,n

Death OF Louis Fisher.

Louis Fisher was born in Wythe
County, Virginia, April "a, 1885, and
departed this life at Limestone, Ten
nessee, December 2s, 1894. Aged 81
years 8 months 4 days. At the age of
twenty years his father moved to
Washington County, Tennessee, where
he spent the rest of his life. He was
married twice. After the death of his
first wife was married to Miss Alice
Houser, with whom he lived happily
the remaining years of his earthly ex
~istence, and who lives to mourn his
absence from the body and her howe.
His last illness was protracted and
severe. He died of that most dreaded
disease, consumption. Amid all of his
suffering he patiently endured with
Christian fortitude; his spiritual house
was in order and with longing be
waited the hour of deliverence and -
joiced in the prospect of the on COM
ing glory, the daybreak of which was
seen by the eye of faith. He had
frequently expressed a desire to remain
conscious until the last and to die
without a hard struggle. So when the
hour of his departure came he called
his friends around him and bid them
Good night" laid down upon his pill
low and without a struggle went to
sleep on earth and doubtless walked
up in the regions of life-went to sleep
to sorrowing friends, walked up amid
the rejoicing of the redeemed. Hi
friends left behind will know where to
find him. E. H. B.

The HAIRLESS.

The dispatches from Nashville stat
ing that the two HAIRLESS, Isham G. and
Jas. A. will be reelected Senator and
Comptroller respectively, calls to mind
that this is not the first time that two
HAIRLESS have run on the Democratic
ticket. Away back in 1857, thirty eight
years. this coming summer, Isham G.
Harris ran for Governor and Ed Harris
ran on the ticket with him for State
Senator from this district, then COM.
posed of the Counties of Johnson, Car
ter, Sullivan and Washington. Unicoi
was then a part of Carter and Wash
ington. AS this Senatorial District
was then Democratic there was quite
a struggle for the Democratic nomina-
tion, which was then considered equiv
alent to an election.
The contest was settled by a primary
election and the candidates were Ed
Harris, the father OF our present Com.
t%roller, Isaac Nave and NJ. 7. Peoples,
both of Carter, and some other man,
name can not be recalled. Ed Harris
was a sharp fellow, good stump speaker
and had been elected to the Legislature
both in 1858 and 1865, and the fact that
he wanted to be State Senator called
forth q scorching circular from NJ. T.
Peoples, who raked the Harris Brothers,
Alex, Wesley and Ed, for a little of
everything, especially for wanting the
earth. He charged that Ed Harris
had been to the Legislature twice and
now wanted to be State Senator; Yves.
ley, then County Assessor, he said, wan.
ted to run for Sheriff, and that the only
thing that kept Alex from running for
Congress was the fact that his brother
in law, N. G. Taylor, was the Wing
candidate. Alex vas a glib talker, a
preacher, a doctor and q politician,
who preached on Sunday, practiced
medicine during the week and made
political speeches at odd spells. Ed
got the nomination fol- State Senator,
but he did not have a walkover after
ward, for Isaac Nave claimed that
there had been great fraud in the DEM
ocratic primary and that he had been
chiseled out of the nomination, 80 he
came out as an Independent and made
the race anyhow. Mr.. Nave, who was
a pretty good match for the celebrated
"Blue Jeans" Williams, of Indiana, re-
ceived the solid vote of the Wings and
many of the disgruntled Democrats
and made things 80 lively for Harris
that he only lacked three votes of de.
feating HIM. The votes were compar-
ed at a point between here and Eliza.
bethton, and when it was found that
Harris had a majority ofthree votes,
Nave gave it up like a man without
any further contest. eFact is, men
were men back in those good old days,
and had such respect for the will of
the people that they never thought Of
making a contest after they were de-
feated at the ballot box.
