DIED

Friday night, June 10Th, in the
Jonesboro addition to johnson City,
Mary Burlsson, an habitue maison de
joi.
Those who knew her say that she was
kind and tender hearted, and all ex-
pressed regret that she should have
chosen sucn downward course. Her
death recalls the fact that so many
good-hearted women fall to the deepest
depths in this immoral pool. But in
her case the remarkable and deeply i'm
planted womanly characteristics were
too firmly fixed by the hand of the
Creator to be eradicated by the greatest
and most destructive of all vices.
There is no apology for her sin; but
the good traits in such a character
stand out as boldly as flash of light.
ming on dark night, and mercy drops
over her checkered life the mantle OIL
charity.
Not far across the mountain hedge
which separates virtue from polished
temptation-in Mitchell county, Nortl
Carolina-there lives an aged father
and gray-haired mother whose only
thought is of daughter-a waywart
daughter that is dead.
But in all lives there is sometimes fate un
| bluShed
That makes us wonder at our course
Poor noble-hearted girl. Why chos,
she the life which leads to pauperisn
and to shame, and in her choosing max,
pain for parents hearts? But all i
done, and afore our mental vision lie
fall the moral curtain that hides from
us what might have been.

The Manufacturers Record, seeking
to turn attention to the mineral re-
sources of the south and to aid its
readers in the intelligent investigation
as to what may or may not be of value,
has arranged with Mr.. Charles Catlett,
chemist and geologist, of Staunton, Va.
to make superficial examinations of
samples without charge. Such samples
will be reported in the Manufacturers
Record with word of explanation as to
probable or possible value.
The following directions should be
observed:
Samples should be sent to Charles
Catlett, No. 10New Court House street,
Stanton, Va, with all mail or express
charges prepaid.
The name and address of sender
should be clearly stated on package.
Care should be taken to select an
average sample, otherwise the examina-
ton will prove of no value. Quite a
small quantity will be sufficient
A postal card or letter to Mr.. Catlett,
with word of explanation as to mode
and exact location of occurrence, would
assist in giving value to the examina-
ton,

Good Health

And good appetite go hand in hand With the
loss of appetite, the system can not long sus-
tain Itself. Thus the Notifications of good health
are broken down and the system Is liable to at
lacks of disease. 1t is in such cases that the
medicinal powers of Hoods Sarsaparilla are
clearly shown. Thousands who have taken
Hoods Sarsaparilla testify to its great merits
as u purifier of the blood, its powers to restore
and sharpen the appetite and promote a

1t is, not what we say but what Hoods Sarsa-
parilla does that tells the story and constitutes

urged for any medicine. Why not take Hoods

HAS THERE BEEN FOUL PLAY ?
Mysterious Disappearance of h.
N. Hall.
SAID TO HAVE HAD A ROLL OF MONEY
He Has Been Gone One Month and all Efforts
to Locate Him are Futile.

On the afternoon of Friday, May 9lst,
a gentleman arrived in this city and
registered at Hotel Greenwood under
the name of III. N. Hall, ChattanAo-
ga" He was quiet, unassuming, and
had very little to say to guests and 9TH
ers with whom he came in contact. He
talked to the writer more than anyone
else, perhaps, and from his conversation
he gave every evidence of being a well
bred gentleman.
AS far as is known he never spoke of
his home, and while he claimed to hail
from Chattanooga it was evident from
his conversation that he was of cas-
tern birth.
He claimed to be first class tailor
and made arrangements to go to work
for Mr.. W, B. Crouch, ON Spring street,
as soon as his exit" arrived, which he
had ordered sent here by express.
While awaiting the arrival of his out
fit he stated to several parties that he
had an agency for cash registry and
thought seriously of handling that ar
ticle until his tools arrived. But wheth-
er he left on such mission or for some
other purpose is not known, as no one
knows whittier he went or for what.
AS he has been gone for nearly thirty
days and no message has been received
from him, the proprietor of the hotel
at which he stopped, Mr.. j. W. Ball, is
at loss to account for the strange dis
appearance of his guest. His silence,
if alive, can not be due to desire to
escape his board bill, as he owed for
less than four days and left in his room
sufficient baggage to pay for at least
one months board.
A letter of inquiry addressed to the
chief of police at Chattanooga failed to
elicit any response, and as he was moi
seen to leave on any outgoing train
and engaged no team ON the day of his
disappearance, his whereabouts is 6
profound mystery. His grip, which
he left open, contains no clue by which
communication with relatives might b.
had, but several photographs and {
letter written to his parents some time
ago and unmailed, are among his eff
fects. 1t is known that for awhile THU
spring he worked in Brunswick, Ga
but beyond that, and the fact that h,
has unceremoniously disappeared, moth
ing definite is known.
The theory of foul play has been ad
vanced by some, and unless Mr.. Hal
gives early evidence of being sin tn
hesh," the foundation of this theor,
will be strengthened.
A negro who is known to be thief
and who left here about ten days ate
Mr.. Halls disappearance, hearing tn
latters absence mentioned, remarked
''It's mighty strange where he's gone
cause I saw him have O big roll 0
money the night before he left"
However, he had breakfast at the he
tel where he was registered the mex
morning after the night on which tn
negro claims to have seen the money
but he did not take dinner there, an
has not since been seen.
Where is Mr.. Hall?

A Sunday Nuisance.

Such conduct as is seen on our streets
every Sunday is q lasting disgrace tc
any civilized community. Badly-be,
haved crowds of both white and colored
congregate on the public square and
deport themselves in very noisy man
ner, much to the discontinue of resi-
dents and passers-by; and the crowds
seem to be largest and most boisterou'
just as our people are going to and from
church, which makes it especially un
pleasant for the ladies. We suggest tt
the chief of police that he take the mat
ter in hand and see if the nuisance cal
not be abated.

SERIOUSLY INJURED.
A Former Citizen of johnson City Caught in
Wreck

Mr.. Sam II. Lyle, until recently a
citizen Of this city, but who is now en-
ployed in West Virginia on the Nor
folk and Western railroad, met with a
most painful, and what was at first
thought to be fatal, accident last
Wednesday night at Kenoya, a small
station in West Virginia
He was on an incoming train and as
it neared the town the engine and some
of the cars jumped the track, Engi-
neer Lyle, seeing his perilous position,
jumped to save himself, and in doing
so was thrown violently upon his head
and shoulders, receiving injuries from
which it was at first feared he would
never recover. He is very large and
powerful man, weighing over 200
pounds, and his weight served to add
to the force of his fall. When picked
up he was unconscious, but with care
tul attention soon recovered conscious
ness, and at last reports was slowly
improving.
Two days before tAe accident he was
married to most estimable lady, and
the young wife was frantic with grief
when she beheld his bruised and bleed
ing form.
He has relatives and friends here who
most sincerely hope he may speedily
and completely recover.
