DEATHS HARVEST.

Mrs. John l.. Jones returned this
week from Lebanon, Tenn, where
she had been for a week or more at
the bedside Of her father, during his
last illness. We clip the following
from the Lebanon Tribune:
"To chronicle the death of good
man is always with regret, but in
the life of Col. James Hamilton we
have an example worthy of follow
ing, and those who knew him are
better off by his living. His life was
a long and useful one, but to those
who have known him of late years,
it was short. 1t was always pleas
ure to meet him, he was always affa-
BILE and wore smile of contentment,
revealing the fact of bright hope
in the vast eternity with no fears of
its consequences. A life well spent
here, as his has been, will reap the
treasures laid up in better world.
He was houored by the living; his
merits won for him honor, love and
position, as is shown by his record.
He was a member of the Legislature
of Tennessee in l843 and so clean
sent to the State Senate, where again
he served with distinction. After this
he retired from the political field
until the fall of 1872, when he was
again elected to the State Senate.
He was a great tinancler and accu-
gulated large fortune, but in his
later years he retired from business
and spent his days in the bosom of
his family and friends. At the time
of his death he was president of the
Bank Of Lebanon, which position he
occupied ever since it was organized.
He was a member of the NJ. e..
Church, South, and has lived con-
sistent life in said church about go
years. There was many tear shed
over his departure in memory of a
we'll spent life, deeds of charity and
love, and may those who have
known him, follow in his wake that
their end may be, like his, peace
ful-simply sleep, a transition from
death to life, from the field of prepa-
ton to the everlasting harvest of
| Gods love. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. w. Weakley
and DR.. r. X. Brown at the M. f.
| Church, Wednesday, at $3.50 O'Clock,
and the remains were laid away at
Cedar Grove Cemetery, with Mason
ic hOnors."
Mr.. Valery Treudeau, who was a
clerk at the Bethel House several
years ago, but who has been clerk
ing at the Maxwell House, Nash
vile, for the past several years, died
at his home in Nashville, last Mon
day. The travelling public will miss
him.
The death is announced of Mrs
| Arch LipscOmb, at her home, near
Zion, on the Doth inst at Up. m. She
had been sick with fever about ten
days and, though the doctors had
succeeded in breaking the fever, heI
constitution was so broken, she had
no strength to rally. Mrs. Lips
comb was member of the Presby-
terrain Church, and for strength OF
character, for purity, for modesty
for devotion to all her duties, she
had no superior. Since her con-
nection with the church of heI
choice, she illustrated the graces OF
christianity in her daily life. She
was a daughter of Mr.. Scott Mayes,
and sister of Mrs. Charlie Burton
of Nashville, and Mr.. Henry Mayes
She leaves husband and one child
Miss Susie Lipscomb, to mourn hel
loss, and the hearts of all in the
community beat in sympathy with
the bereaved.
The funeral services were con.
Quoted Thursday morning at II
o'clock, by Rev. w. J. Frierson, al
Zion Church, and the interment
took place in the graveyard there.
Quite a number of COlumbians
attended the funeral and burial.
