in one Of the last skirmisheS of the war,
his family mourned him as dead, and
for several years his supposed widow
has been drawing a pension from the
state Nothing was known to the con-
trary until it was announced that Pow
ell had put in an appearance at the
home of his family. His wife refused to
receive him. his son turTed his back on
him and told the old man to go back 10
the mountains of east Tennessee,
where he had been hiding the disgrace
of desertion The first knowledge
which anybody had of POwells presence
in the city was when Capt Talley, one
OF Atlanta S most prominent clIlzeHS,
found man hanging about the Neck
and begging recognition. Il am Doc

would not believe it. Then the man
explained how. in a skirmish between
Knoxville and Bristol, he had slipped
away from the army and gone into the
mountains of Tennessee. He was afraid
10 come back because he had played the
part of a coward. But as he grew Older
the desire TO once more see his family
overcame his fears and he came to
Atlanta. His wife told him he had bet
ter go back to Tennessee. His son in
dorsed the view of the mother. The
pension money which she has been re-
ceiving from the state was only $50 a
year, but neither the mother nor son
thought he was worth that much, and
now that he has come back to make
them lose that money his welcome is a
warm one in d way he had not antici-
pated.

A Pleasant Evening.

Friday evening of last week, Miss Deader-
lex entertained a number of friends at her
home in this place. At $3.50 those who were
fortunate enough to receive one of the dain-
W souvenir invitations began to arrive, and
soon the brilliantly lighted parlors were
made more brilliant by a bevy of beautiful
faces and pretty costumes; and pleasant in
deed 1t was for all who had known Miss Rob-
inson, and had met her on her former visit
here, to know that she was again in Jones'
boro' even for a few weeks. Miss Deaderick
was an ideal hostess, and every one present
will long remember the evening at her home,
and Miss Jarman's music will be ever pres.
ent with those who
Think of the singer and think Of the songs.
ANA wish they might hear them again."
The hours melted into moments, and the
moments were all too short. Supper was
announced at l0:30. The little bows Of col
ored ribbon given to each guest, to be match
ed with other ribbons depending from the
plates, was a delightful novelty, while the
supper was a delightful reality. The recep-
ton hours were from s to IL.
Those present were: Mrs. Il, A, Cox, Misses
Marguerite Robinson, of Roanoke, Va; Nav
Jarman, of Bristol, Tenn; and Misses Dos
ser, Reeves, Brownlow, and Young; and

ever before. Prof. S. A. Estes, form
erly of Jonesboro, assisted by Miss Lena
Waddill, has been teaching a fine
school at Bon Air this winter. The d.
rectors and almost all the patrons are
pleased with their work, and they will
get the school again if they want it. 1t
is all a big mistake about Brawnlow
having no friends in this district. He
has got them now by the dozen and
their numbers are increasing all the
time. The time when one or two men
run the district has passed by. The
bosses have played out. Brownlow de-
serves the race. Anderson is Just what
Brownlow made him, he ought to be
satisfied, get out of the way and return
Brownlow's favor. Millburn went to
school in this section, the people know
him and that's enough. We hope and
believe that Brownlow, n of the com.
mon people and who has done so much
for the common people and his party
without reward, will come to the front
by a big majority. TRUE BLUE.

Who was the Architect A!

Under this head a very readable arti-
ticle appears in the March number of
American Homes, from which we quote
the following extract;
1.-THE history of the building of the
Temple of the Lord at Jerusalem, al
though occupying much space and ex-
plicit description in holy writ, is yet
incomplete and fragmentary as to the
original steps taken toward the final
end, and it is a matter of no little curl
osity and interest but of little real
knowledge today as to who planned
that remarkable structure, whose hands
did the preliminary work, whose drew
the detailed plans. True, descriptions
of the completed building are elabor.
ately explicit as to dimensions and ma.
terials and the wealth lavished upon
its construction, but these may be re.
garded as statutory enactments made
after the completion of the building,
and should not becloud OF confuse the

Vandalism,

A few nights ago some person or
persons not having the fear of the law
or the rights of the people before their
eyes committed an act of vandalism
that SHOULD make them ashamed
of themselves, to say the least. The
act consisted in breaking palings off of
fences in two or three places, and break.
ing to pieces a small magnolia tree
in the yard of A. 7. Dosser. Such acts
are malicious in the extreme, and are
punishable under the laws Of the State.
1t will not be a hard matter to find out
who the parties are who indulge in such
lawlessness, and they will be appre.
hended we are we'll assured.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

The political bee is beginning to buzz
pretty lively in this end of the earth,
and the people are seemingly taking
more and more interest as thew are
fully aware that the primaries will
settle the matter of county and con.
gressional aspirants; from our own
personal knowledge and from what
we can CLEAN from parties in other
counties the Hon. w. p. Brownlow
is decidedly in the lead for the pomi.
notion for Congress, and not only in
the lead but still gaining ground. The
people of the grand old historical
county of Washington will be proud
to see Walter made the standard bear.
er of the grand old party of progress.
The party that saved our nation from
dissolution, the party that saved our
country from bankruptcy, and the
party that will have TO devise means
to pay the Indebtedness brought about
by the present administration. With
such men as w. P. Brownlow in Con-
gress we may hope to have something
done in the interest of our District.

acquainted with the multiplication ia.

Brethren, has been conducting pro-
tracted religious services at Bells during
the past week. 1t is with pleasing
qualification that the voters OF the
Eigth District note the accommodating
strength of the Hon. w. p. Brownlow.
II every voter would vote according to
his honest convictions, Mr.. Brownlow
would not have IN opposing vote in the
county; that he will get the nomina.
ton there is not a vestige of doubt. 1t
is not necessary to say that every hon
est Republican Acknowledges that Mr..
Brownlow is the man that can do us
the most good in Congress. This fact
has been fully demonstrated in his
free will services for the people of the
First Congressional District. They have
always found Mr.. Brownlow a friend
in time of need. And it is the duty of
the Republican voters of every district
in the county to present themselves il
one solid phalanx and help to nomi-
nate the "Plumed Knight" of East
Tennessee; and in so doing you will aid
one of the most worthy personages that
ever graced the legislative halls at

OBITUARY..

John Anderson was born in David
son County, North Carolina, July 81,
1920; died February 2, 1896, aged rs
years, six months and two days.
His father removed to Rowan County
while Mr.. Anderson was an infant;
here he lived with his father until he
was thirty years of age when he mar
ried Miss Mile Duggar, Of johnson
County Tennessee. Six children was
the fruit of this marriage, two boys
and four girls, all of whom are still
living. The angel of death visited the
home of John Anderson in 1868 and
took from him his beloved wife and
he with sad heart and fearful eyes laid
her in her last resting place, hoping to
meet her some future day in that glo.
rious home where parting is known no
more. He next married a widow by
the name of Mrs. Webb; she lived only
one year and nine months after their
marriage and died, leaving her grief
stricken husband and a host of friends
but no children Of her W to mourn
her loss.
His third wife was Miss Mary NJ.
Taylor, who still survives him. Four
children were born to them-two boys
and two girls; he lived twenty years
after he and his asst wife were married.
Mr.. Anderson joined the Missionary
Baptist Church about eighteen years
ago and has lived a consistent member
of the same ever since. He was at.
tackled by a severe cough and bron.
chial trouble about the frat of Janu.
airy, 1896, but was able TO walk about
over the farm a little when the weather
was pretty and warm, but it soon be.
came apparent that his cough was
weakening him for he soon became SO
weak that he was unable to leave his
room. His suffering at times was in
tense, but he bore it all with Christian
foItitude. He was often heard praying
for his wife and children, he was sure
that he could not stay with them long
and was only waiting Gods good time
to take him away. On February 2,
about 5 o'clock, PM, he breathed his
last, and was borne on angels pinions
to realms of everlasting bliss. Mr..
Anderson was a quiet and peacable
citizen, a good neighbor, who never
lost an opportunity to oblige his neigh
bors or do a good deed for anybody
when it lay in in his power to do 50; a
loving husband and good father.
While we bow in humble submission
to the will of God who doeth all things
well, his bereaved and grief stricken
wife and children have our deepest
sympathy; but their loss is his eternal
gain. Dear sorrowing ones your loved
one is not dead but sleepeth, so live
that when you leave this troublesome
world you can join him in that beau,
tiful home of the soul where sorrow
and death a never come. H. j. d.
