Will be the Next Pastor of Trinity M.
 E. Church
 Rev. Dr. Levi Gilbert has accepted a call to become the pastor of Trinity M. E. church, as was announced would probably be the case in last Monday S Courier. He is at present pastor of the First M. E. church of Cleveland. He is expected to take charge of Trinity parish April l, 1897.
 Rev Benjamin F. Kidder, the pres ent pastor of the Trinity church, has just accepted a call from the Taber- nacles church of Brooklyn, N. Y He will cease his present connections in the city next April
 Although the church has extended a call to Dr. Gilbert, and he has signi- fled his intention of accepting the of fer the appointment of a minister for the church will of course not be off cially acted upon until the next con, ference of this district is called, in March. The conference will be asked to make the present call official
 Rev. MT Kidder was called to the church at the last conference He is a graduate of Emerson's School of Ora tory, and has been popular with mem bers of the church, although the ma jority thought 8it advisable that he should not remain

Outside of New York the total clear ings at all cities fell off nearly Ii per cent. from year ago. Only two large cities show .increases-New York with 36 per cent, and Baltimore with 4.9 per cent. The decreases of leading cit ies vary from a fraction of 1 per cent. in the cost of Boston to as high as 22.4 per cent in the case of Providence. For the eleven months period clearings show a decrease of 3.6 per cent. from a year ago, a gain of 12 per cent. over 1894, but falling off of 75 per cent. from the panic year, 1893.
 There are 359 business failures re- ported throughout the United States this week., an increase of 63 compared with last week, and of A compared with the corresponding week one year ago. A large proportion of the increas- ed number of failures is reported from the middle and New England states.
 The most bullish feature of Brad streets monthly report of American available stocks of wheat is found in the net decrease of 618,000 bushels on both coasts during November, the first decrease during November since rec ords have been kept. In November, 1885, the net increase was 10,715,00C bushels Wheat stocks in the United States and Canada have always contin- ued to grow from week to week, after harvesting, until New Years, and some times later. This year the check to supplies appears to have arrived a month ahead of the usual date.
 Stocks of available wheat in the United States, Canada, afioat and in Europe December l, were 14S, ,485 ,00C bushels; 16,000,o00 bushels less than on a like date in 1895, and 3600O,000 bushels less than in 1894 and 42,oO0,000 bushels less than in 1893.

 An express wagon full of large vol umes was being unloaded yesterday at the public library. F. J. Brothers, D. D., was assisting the managing direc- tor of the vehicle in the removal of the tonnes to the book shelves. The doctors D. D. stands for his rank in Elkdom, and does not signify college degree, as first sight would indicate.
 Do you know what makes these books so heavy?" asked the eultivator of the classics as he groaned under burden of bound knowledge, and then he answered his own conundrum, as good minstrels do: "The weighty sub jects they treat on.'
 The driver of the express saw the point and stumbled over the curbstone Returning for another load of literature minstrels leaned against the wagon wheel to catch his breath. Having caught it, he sagely remarked:
 Tt has been asserted by many super ficial writers and scoffers that all min strel jokes were originated by one Joe Miller. but l find upon examination, and l have gone deeply into the sub ject, that Hieroeles in the sixth century originated twenty-one jokes and pub lished them under the title of The Pendant Hierocles called them jests, but as minstrels denomiate them as gags I suppose, because some of them are so ancient and musty as to make their hearers sick.

Puritana Patients
Why TheyT ake
 Puritana.
WHY THEY GET WELL.

The proof does 1t. That is why people begin to take Puritana.
 People find that their neighbors have tried it.
 Their friends have tried it. Men and women in every walk of life have tried it.
 A man suffers.
 Perhaps he has suffered for years. He has tried many things. They have all failed. He reads Puritana testimonial. He reads another. He sees new ones wherever he looks.
 Some of the writers are in his OWL town.
 Some in his own business. Some he can see.
 Some he can write to. Some have been cured of his ow11 ailment.
 Some of other ailments. All are grateful. All are glad to tell suffering people how Puritana gave them relief. They are approachable folks, and their voluntary testimonials count. Some live in town. Some in the country. Some hold office.
 Some vote.

 That is why any one can prove for himself the genuineness of Puritana cures.
 Puritana patients get well. This is fact.
 There are reasons for it. Puritana is the discovery of Prof, Dixi Crosby.
 wasthe greatest New Hampshire physician of his day.
 He was at the head of the Dart mouth Medical College for genera tion.
 He used common sense, and found that disease or health came to the body through the stomach. He scientifically compounded a stomach medicine from the harmless products of nature.
 This is Puritana.
 It makes the stomach right. That is why it makes the health right.
 With a sound stomach no one can help being well.
 That is why Puritana patients get well.
 Chemists say that Puritana is a good medicine.
 They also say it is well made. The materials are the purest and best that money can buy.

 What the people say about Puritana you have read before. and you will read again.
 The thousands of Puritana cures are becoming better known every day. The patients are real people.
 The cures are real cures.
 They can be proven in court.
 They can be proven by any medical society.
 They have been proven before the tribunal of Public Opinion.

EmbreyIIle Picnic.

To the work, to the work. We are
servants Of God; let US follow the path
that our Master has trod. With the
balm Of His councils our strength to
renew, let us do with our might what
Jul hands find to do.
The little children's faces were all
bright and beaming with pleasure and
the day proved to be a day that we all
enjoyed. The Sunday school from the
river was present, and all had a nice
time. Mrs. Maria Yancy, of Jonesboro,
managed the children and had her
hands full; and We all could do some
thing IL we would. Henry johnson, of
Knoxville, addressed the children, ami
Bro. McNeal, of Limestone, delivered
an address, and all who heard them
were pleased. There were many little
boys and girls to enjoy the dinner pre-
pared for all by Maria Yancy.

THE people are all Hocking to Canton
to see Mckinley.
WHAT can the matter B?
Our dear I-sham G..
Has never pealed a silver peal
In sweet old 10 A. G.

SINCE the tale of the button has told
that the Senatorial bee is buzzing ''its
glad, sweet song' in Roberts bonnet,
several distinguished gentlemen, who
have their weather eye fixed on O seat
in 1.-THE chambers of the millionaires,"
and who have given him the glad hand
and fond embrace for the present occa.
sions, have slipped a keen, large knife
up their sleeve to be vigorously used
when the time comes. The canvass
now has another phase. The dear
charmer doesnt charm as he did just a
little while back. 1t now pleases GER
tain Democrats no little when Tillman
sends a home thrust under Bob's fifth
rib. They are not near so anxious
about Roberts success. The Taylor
craze is dying out and intelligent DEM
ocrats in all parts of the State, like the
members of the Democratic State Com
mite, regard his chances as slim. An
honest vote and a fair count are bound
to defeat him.

THE BOLTER.

The voter, who will not support the
Republican ticketi in its entirety, especi.
ally in a crisis like the present, 10 far
away from home in the Republican
ranks. He can not fll a bolter's place
inside of them. He should get out and
stay out until he is ready and willing
to obey the party's DEGREES and support
the party's nominees, This defiance of
the aggregated wisdom of the party is
the audacious %effrontery which excuses
or justifes itself with the assumption,
" am holier than thou" or a declara-
ton on the part of the bolter that he
will not support the party candidate
because he can not use him to promote
his selfish purposes. In this day when
the people are disposed to assert their
independence and the boss has lost his
cinch on the party and pie counter
thereby, he proceeds to raise q furious
racket, and to save himself from los.
tracism" and thinking to scare the
nominee into his W terms, he raises
the black flag and becomes a freebooter.
An independent Republican indeed.
What q farce and what a fraud.
Don't be '.skeered." The independ.
emit is unity scace."

The Democrats can't fool the people
this time as they did in '92 The cam
paign of education is bringing forth
rich fruit. The voters have been apt
scholars. They have learned a profit
able lesson in the school of experience.
What they have suffered and lost in
the last four years has opened the eyes
of their understanding. They realize
the magnitude of their misfortunes as
well as the cause thereof. They know
there is an abundance of good money,
and they haven't got any of it because
free trade robbed them of all means of
getting it. They know that the pros
porous period in our history was when
the Republican party was in power.
They know that protection to the
American industries gives American
workingmen constant employment and
good wages, and that ''the Mckinley
cure for low prices, languishing indus
tries, lethargic trade and want of EN- .
ployment for labor will prove a live
success in the future as it has in the
past. So the free silver scheme of an.
archy and reputation has no charms
for them, and they are falling deeper
and deeper in love with that policy of
honesty and self preservation that is
bound to win in November next.

BRYAN AND THE ANGEL.

Abou Bill Bryan, may his tribe decrease +!

And saw within the moonlight in his room,
Making it rich and silverlike In bloom,
An angel writing in a book OF gold.
Exceeding gall had made Bill Bryan bold,
And to the presence In the room he said:
"What wrltest thou?' The vision raised Its
head,
And with a look of what he might expect,
Answered: "Their names who'll get 1t in the

But cheerily still, and said: ~ pray thee, sir,

And showed the names Of those knocked

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE MORE THAN
HOLDING HIS OWN,

Hon. George N. Tillman Is making a
gallant effort for the redemption of
Tennessee from the o 1ium and disaster
of Democratic misrule and mismanage-
ment. He INDUCES in official figures
instead of fancies. He relies upon sol.
Id facts taken from the records kept by
the Democrats themselves, and not
upon pathetic eloquence, misleading
assertion and ingenious evasion. With
the truth to back him he fears no man,
and aspersion, abuse and threat can
not avil to turn him q hairs breadth
from the line he at first marked out
when he was nominated to champion
the cause of the d~espoiled, over Cypress.
ed and ring cursed people of the State.
With an eye that does not quail, a
heart that does not cringa, a courage
that does not waver and a hand that
does not tremble, Mr.. TilIman holds up
the dark, disgraceful picture of Demo.
cratic extravaganza. spoliation and
turpitude. He shows the wanton vio-
lations of law that characterize Demo.
cratic administrations and that they
were lavishly INDUCED in not wholly
by the lickspittles and swashbucklers
who hover in the sweet atmosphere of
power, but those the highest in authori.

whom honor" is dearer than life-did

from these ''indiscretions."

denied the time honored privilege of q
joint discussion. 1t might throw a se-
rious obstruction across the honeyed
flow of pathetic eloquence descanting
upon the cruelty of compelling rag

OBITUARY

Mrs. Sarah B. Hulse was born Janu.
airy 81, 1910, died August IS, 1896, aged
eighty six years, seven months and n
day. Joined the NJ. E. Church 1881
and lived a consistent member until
her death. She was married to her
first husband, Isaac Depew, February
1928. Nine children were born to them
eight boys and nj girl; six of whom
are still living, five boys and M girl.
Her first husband died in 1858, leaving
her the care of nine children most Of
them almost helpless, but by her good
management she kept the family to.
gether and provided for them until
1866, when she was married to James
P. Hulse, who died September 1855.
She has been afflicted with rheuma.
tism for sixty years, but she bore her
affection with great patience. She was
confined to her bed about two weeks
before her death and at times her
misery was so great that those who sat
around her bed could hardly endure
to look on, but during all these days
and weary nights of pain and suffering,
she vas heard to praise God and de-
clare that she would soon be in that
beautiful home where flowers never
fade and pleasures never die. She
lived with her son, H. ]. Depew, about
two miles from Jonesboro. About A
o'clock A. NJ. of the above date the
denth angel bore away the happy
spirit of the aged mother to the glori.
Gus realms of everlasting happiness.
She passed away peacefully, calmly
like going to sleep. A more patient
sufferer never passed through the gate
way Of death than this aged mother,
who gave unmistakable evidence tina,
she was going home to die no more.
The robes OF paradise are all to be worn
by soldiers, the ms Of heaven are
reserved for conquerers, earth with
all Its darkness and death quietly re-
coded, and heaven with all its light
and life gradually bursted in upon her
enraptured vision. The darkness oil
m%ortality's long night rapidly gave
way to the glorious light Of an endless
immortality, and we have the sweet
assurance when we meet that sainted
mother in the glory land it will be the
same mother we loved so we'll on earth.
Her brow will not be furrowed with
care; her eyes will not be dimmed with
age, her head will not be silvered oveI
with gray hairs, but she will be ar
rayed with all the beauty and grace
of spiritual womanhood, she will meeI
and greet us with a long and loving
welcome to the courts OF endless life
While we sorrow to give her up W.
bow in humble submission to the will
of God and will try to live true Chris
tians so that we can soon join her il
that abode Of endless rest. Good night
