OBITUARY.
LAURY MURRAY.

Another family circle hath been
broken, another home hath been made
dark and gloomy, another mothers
hear has been made to bleed with un.
told agony and grief. But while we
realize that sweet little Laura Murry
is no more on this earth, we know
that another little angel hath been ad.
ded to the blood washed throng in
heaven.
Two little feet have ceased to wan
der over the hills and briery ~footpaths
of earth; today they are treading the
gold paved streets of the New Jerusa.
lem.
How sad we feel when we realize
that we have looked upon the smiling
face OF Laura hurry for the last time
in life. The fond heart of dear Laura
beats no more. Those little shoes must
be set aside. The Tiny dresses she used
to wear must be laid away; she will
never need them no more. The little
hands that used to wander over the
face of her mother hath been folded in
death. The prattling voice that called
mother so a%ffectionately hath been
hushed; but dear Eddie how often you
will hear that loving voice in your
dreams at night. Then will this not
draw you nearer to the cross of Christ?
Laura was a precious little flower, a
pure, white rose bud. Roses do not live
always, they are too lovely to live for
ever on earth. So was Laura; Col,
let her live here a few years and iu his
own good time he sent a messenger to
carry her away to be transplanted in
the garden or high. He would not
suffer such a tender little plant to grow
midst the thorns and thisties of earth.
Sad, indeed, was it for the mother to
part with her only child; but how
happy must the father have been when
he saw the boat, bearing his little one,
crossing over Jordan's dark wave. If
the mother is faithful it will not be
Long until she too will BIZ waited over
death icy tide to meet her little angel
on high. A few more days and some
morning the great sun shall shine upon
your grave too; should you live until
your hair is whitened with age it will
only be a few more days.
Sweet Laura, good by; we will meet you
no more
Till we meet you in Heaven on Canaan's
fair shore,
Your sweet form VIC long to behold,
Hath been laid in the grave so lark and
cold;
Your hands hath been folded forever at rest.
We know you are happy; we know you are
blest.
Your form was dressed in beautiful white,
Anu we know you are gone TO a land with
out night.
You are gone to the lane that God has given.
For children compose the kingdom of
heaven. MAMIE MCINTYRE.

DAVID SCOTT.

The birthday of David Scott was
September ID, 1885. His dying day
was August, 81 1895. He was, there
fore, almost sixty years old. His death
resulted from cancer of the face, which
af1iction made life a burden for more
than a year. 1t is needless to speak of
the hopes and fears, the disappoint.
ment and despair which followed inef-
fectual treatment. His life was con-
sumed by a lingering and loathsome
disease. Relief was sought from vari.
Gus sources, but the art of healing was
treated without success. Perhaps a
long narration about the suffering and
trials of the deceased would not inter-
est the general reader, but a brief
sketch of his life aud character claims
the attention of every one who loves
and admires honesty, justice, and
truth.
The subject of this notice was a ma
tive of Washington County, Tennessee.
He spent most of his life near the
place of his birth, and was we'll known
by his contemporaries. 1t goes with
out saying that he had human passions
and frailties, but he possessed these,
only in common with the fallible race
of a He was not noted for great
talents nor famous deeds, but his worth
consisted in the integrity of his char.
acter, When death remove someone
whom the world calls great, the sym
pathies OF the nation are touched and
symbols of sorrow are seen on every
hand. Those who have occupied high
stations in life are consigned 10 their
last resting place amid the exhibitions
of "vanity's fair" The world does not
recognize the great men aud women in
private life, and hence, they go down to
the grave unhonored and unsung. In
estimating the worth of men, we for
get that he that rules his W spirit is
greater than he that takes a city.
We feel warranted in saying that
David Scott was a man of lofty char.
acter. He became a member of the
Christian Church in his young man
hood and served as an elder for several
years. He succeeded we'll in keeping

Two Full Moons ir one Month.

The fact that there were two full
moons last month raised a controversy
as to how often such n thing occurred
for the information Of the curious we
publish the following: As the Tuner
month-the period from one full moon
to a1other-is only a few minutes more
than twenty nine and II half days, it
necessarily follows that when a full
moon falls on the first or second day of
any month of thirty one days, or on
the first day of any month of thirty
days, there will be two full moons in
that month. Thus, there were full
moons on the end and 31st days of
January, 1893, and on the LIST and 3Oth
days of April of the same year. No
month in 1894 had two full moons, but
there were two in December of 1896
on the I'd and 3lst. No month will
again have two full moons until Octo.
Der, 1898.

100 Reward. S1OO.

The readers of this paper will be
glad to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that
is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca.
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and C
surfaces Of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building
mp the constitution and assisting ma.
ture in doing its work. The proprie-
tors have so much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer one hundred
dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

tain.

The most brilliant and delightful So
cial event of the season was that given
last Tuesday, New Year evening, by
Col. and Mrs. w. P. Brownlow in honor
of their daughter, Miss Anuie. Only a
few OF the friends of the family were
invited, covers being laid for twenty
five. The hours appointed were from
q O'Clock until 12. At 8 O'Clock the
hostess, Mrs. Brownlow, announced
that supper val ready and asked that
each one present enter the dining
room and found their names which
had been deposited in a plate on
a slip of paper. On entering the spa
cious dining 0 n was struck with
the brilliance and splendor in which
things had been arranged. The place
reminded one of the Presidents dining
room at the White House, so intensely
inviting it seemed. The tables were
loaded with turkey, ham, salads of diff
ferent kinds, sandwiches, pickles and
numerous other good things. Ice cream
of a most delicious flavor and seven
kinds or cake was served during the
time. The tables were presided over
in a most elegant ann by Mrs. T.
A. Cox, Mrs. w. G. Brownlow, Misses
Annie and Clara Brownlow, while the
jolly Col. and his wife kept pace of the
walters to see that none of the guests
were in the least sighted, and no one
lacked for attention. The elegant
home which is handsomely furnished
and heated by a furnace, was indeed a
most comfortable place, and no one
could help but enjoy the evening. Most
of the party remained with the good
host and hostess to ring out the old
and ring in the new year.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs. B.
B. Bigler, Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Bowman,
Misses Dora Crockett, Kate Deaderick,
Halle Doggett, Elizabeth Reeves, b.
sic Stuart and Messrs. E. d. Duncan,
w. w. Kirkpatrick, Jas. Somers, Of
johnson City, s. S. Kirkpatrick, A. N.
Hacker, S. H. L. Cooper, Tomlinson

long live Mr.. and Mrs. w. P. Brown
low, and wish them many happy re-
turns of similar occasions.

WIN.

Rev. Harold, of Greene County, has
been preaching very faithfully and
earnestly for two weeks closing last
Sunday night. with fifteen additional
members to our church known as the
Missionary Baptist. Many little chill.
dren of the Sunday School at this place
were made happy Tuesday evening by
the treat given by the Sabbath School.
Mr.. Huffine also treated his school at
the same time. Frank Patton, of Jones.
boro, was re elected as Superintendent
of the Sunday School. Mr.. Patton de-
serves much honor and credit for his
faithful attendance during the past
year. There is only one objection that
we have to the Sunday School although
we are only visitors. First, we belive
in true Christians in a Sabbath School.
Secondly, they should be educated.
Thirdly, they should not be busy
bodies. We vested the entertainment
Tuesday night and everything was
satisfactory except one thing, and we
do not blame Mr.. Patton with this.

gon.
Representative w. B. Hooker of New
York presided
Mr.. Apsley nominated Mr. BabcocIk
for his former office of Chairman. In
doing so he spoke of the ability dis
played by Mr.. Babcock in the last cam
paign, and ventured the assertion that
large proportion of the Congressional
Districts that were carried by the Re-
publicans were the result of Mr.. Bab-
cocks clever work.
Mr.. Hull of Iowa, in nominating Mr.
Apsley to succeed himself as Vice
Chairman, was equally complimentary
He assured the committee that Mr.
Apsley had displayed excellent ability
and that he was entitled to share with
Mr. Babcock the honors of the cam
paign. adding that during his four
years connection with the committee
the duties intrusted to these officers
had never been more satisfactorily per-
formed
Mr.. Apsley, in reply, referred to the
predictions made by him during the
progress of the last campaign. He
showed that from the reports received
by the committee he was enabled intel
Hgently to foreshadow the defeat of
such veteran Democratic leaders as
Holman of Indiana, Wilson of West
Virginia, Bland of Missouri and SPRING
er of Illinois, and also to indicate the
election of Mr.. Morton in New York by
majority of more than 100000
Mr.. Babcock created some merriment
after indorsing all that Mr.. Hull had
said of his colleague on the committee.
by concluding with the declaration that
"the best thing about Apsley is that the
latch-string of his pocketbook always
hangs OUT
Mr.. Hooker of New York then renom-
mated Mr.. Thompson of Michigan for
Treasurer, improving the opportunity
also to show how creditably he, too, had
discharged the duties intrusted to him.
Messrs Babcock. and Apsley were
then instructed to select an Executive
Committee, with the result as above
announced, Mr.. Hull of Iowa succeed
ing Senator Manderson of Nebraska as
Chairman.
Before the meeting adjourned Mr..
Apsley again addressed his associates,
stating that the political outlook at the
present portends an overwhelming Re-
publican victory next autumn. He pre-
dicted as a result of those elections a
Republican House, Senate and Execu-
tive.
