las, f. AND A. NJ.

Whereas, our Father, in the admin
istration of merciful a Providence,
did on the 21st day of Dec. 1895,
call to his heavenly home our
aged and beloved brother, Rev.
John f. McCutchen, who had for
over ninety years met the struggles
incident to human life; who for if
ty-eight years faithfully labored as
minister of the Cum berland'P resby-
terian Church; who in 1861, at the
call of his state, volunteered in her
defense, and was elected captain of
the company, from which place he
was soon appointed Chaplain of the
oath Regiment of Tennessee Troops
which position he filled until near
the close of our civil war-sharing
with the boys, as he called them,
the hardships and privations of war,
always faithful as a minister of Je-
sus Christ.
Since then he has been actively
engaged in his holy Office, for the
last sixteen years in our county,
serving as chaplain of our Lodge
for fourteen years.
And, whereas, Brother Nc
Cutchen had endeared himself to us
as Mason, and to all in the COM
munity in which he lived by ex-
hibiting in every relation Of friend,
neighbor and brother, those adorn-
ments that marked him as the high
est type of christian manhood.
Resolved therefore, That, while
we feel the loss we have sustained,
yet his upright life gives us full
assurance that he was well prepar-
ed for a place in the Grand Lodge
above. We bow in humble submits
sion to the mandate that said, 1T

Opposes the Centennial Ap-
preparation.

EDITORS BULLETIN---It is
understood the County Court
will be called on next Mon
day to subscribe funds to the
Centennial Exposition at
Nashville. As a taxpayer,
the writer enters an earnest
and emphatic protest against
it.
First, the County Court
has not the LEGAL right to
appropriate the County funds
for that purpose; and if they
had, they have not the MORAL
right to do so, while County
warrants are at a discount.
Let us be just before we are
generous, and if the County
has the funds, pay off the
County warrants at their face
value
Besides, Nashville is not a
safe place to send money, as
half of it would be squander-
ed in fraudulent contracts
and the salaries of presidents,
vice-presidents, commissions
ers, walking delegates, etc.
Remember the late peniten-
tiary frauds There is a ring
around Nashville that is al
ways ready to feather their
nests when a goose is to be
plucked.
Again, this is not the old
slave state that was admitted
into the Union in 1896. That
state was dragooned out Of
the Union in 1861. This is
the Free State of Tennessee,
that was allowed to crawl
back into the Union through
a crack in the back door, by
the grace of Andy johnson,
and the permission of Con-
gress in 1866, after repudia-
ting everything that they
fought four years stomaintain.
Her Centennial will occur in
1866. May we all be there
at that time! It is to be
hoped our County solons will
pause and think twice before
taking any stock in the mat
ter.
An Exposition for West
Tennessee, to be located in
Memphis, the writer would
heartily endorse.

The marriage of Mr.. Wiley Ar
nett to Miss Emma Bryant on the
25th Of last month in the Saulsbu-
ry Cumberland Presby terian Church
was an event around which clus-
tered more interest than a like
scene that has transpired in that pro-
gressive town for quite while. The
church had been previously decora-
ted with festoons and potted plants
by friends of the contracting par
ties. Suspended above the pulpit
were two designs representing
hearts, one of which contained the
monogram GA" and the other s'B."
After the ceremony, another design
containing the word "Arnett"
was low cred which concealed from
view those mentioned. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. J.
w. Dishman in a most happy and
interesting manner. The fact that
the edifce was taxed to it's utter
most to accommodate the aseemblage
of friends of the young couple is an
attestation of the high esteem In
which they are held in the commu-
nifty where they are so well known.

Iieye himself possessed of unusual

after Mr.. Newell, none of them are SO
filed with the wonderful current as
he. They resemble him, however, in
three ways; first, they are black
smiths, second, they have the most
success in treating rheumatism; third,
the first patient of each one was his
wife. Seriously, however, blacksmiths
do possess this strange power more
than any other people-in fact, they
are the only ones who do possess it.
Just why it is SO would be hard to
state, though probably their constant
work in iron has something to do with
it. Perhaps in the future the blacksmith
will combine the art of shoeing horses
with the science of healing and pos

THE BOSTON JOURNAL.

| The Journal has added eleven re
porters to it's city and suburban force.
Such an increase at one time is with
out a precedent in New England and
probably in the whole country.
The Journal announced last Satur-
dav that it had secured the greatest
telegraphic news service ever deliv-
cred in New England; that, passing
by local and minor organizations, it
had obtained stockholding member
ship in the Associated Press, the most
powerful news collecting system in
the world; and that, by means of a
special double wire service from New
York, the Journals news report would
be twice as great as any ever before
brought into Boston.
But that was only half the story. It
was the first public word about an
extensive and carefully prepared
plan to make the Journals entire
news service, telegraphic and local,
the best in New England.
Moreover, the Journals local news
under the new system will be it's own,
in form as well as in substance. 1t
will be collected and prepared to meet
the tastes and desires of the readers
of the Journal, without combination
with other newspapers or any local
news agency.
In becoming full member of the
Associated Press the Journal joins
hands with more than four hundred
of the leading daily newspapers of the
United States.

Rudvard Kipling has figured in the

Rudyard Kipling has figured in the
Brattleboro police court recently
as complainant against his brother
in-law, Beatty Balestier. This has
given the city dailies an opportunity
to pay off many an old score for hav-
ing their representatives ruthlessly
turned down by the noted author. The
way they have treated Kipling is any
thing but manly in many instances.
The facts are that Balestier is the
black sheep in a highly respected and
influential New York family. Kip
ling has done everything possible for
the young profigate and has been re-
paid by abuse. AS Kipling said, "when
Balestier was drunk he was abusive
and when he was sober he was just
plain ugly" At length Balestier's
threats to kill Kipling compelled the
latter to act and he did the manly
thing in placing the case in the hands
of the law. Kipling is gentleman
and an honor to the community in
which he lives, and is one of the few
noted men who means exactly what
he says about not desiring personal
newspaper advertising. - NorthfeId

The sympathy of thousands of BIZ

The sympathy of thousands of BIZ
cyclers will go out to Rudyard Kip
ling now that it has been testified in
court that he had just fallen off his
wheel and hurt his wrist, when his
bellicose brother in law pitched in
and made the threats which have re-
suited in the Green Mountain sensa
ton. 1t is hard enough for man to
face a bicycle in the Vermont wilds
when bicycle is in fractions mood,
without having brother in law come
along in yet more intractible atti-
tude towards him.-Under such. cir
cumstances there is little wonder that
the natural inherent objection of
mankind to execution should bubble
forth vociferously. Rudyard Kipling
had great and devoted affection for
one Balestier brother. His poem on
the death of Wolcott Balestier is one
of the finest things that he has writ
ten. But in giving up for the other
brother as a bad job he has but shown
the opposite extreme of the artistic
temperament. And when the artistic
temperament has just been tangled
up in bicycle it is not as receptive
as usual nor prone to learn added les
sons of patience and long suffering

SOUND MONEY ATST. LOUIS.

| With the exception of far away AL
aska, Republican Conventions have
now been held in all the States and
Territories, and it is possible by com
| pairing the declarations in the plat
forms regarding the currency ques-
| ton, to forecast with reasonable ac-
curacy the strength at st. Louis of
the representative of differing views.
There are nine States and Territories
in which the Republican Conventions
have declared for free silver. These
are California, Montana, Nevada,
Utah, Arizona, Idaho, North Carolina,
Colorado, and Wyoming. Altogether
these have 81 delegates in the con-
vention.
Eight States and Territories are
classed as non comrnittal or doubtful.
These doubtful and non committal
States have altogether 90 delegates.
Thirty three States are included in
the sound money column. They have
74O delegates. Of these States 81 de-
clare explicitly against the free coin
age of silver, unless by an interna-
tional agreement In the other States
sound money declarations of less
explicit character were made, in some
instances the national platform of
four years ago being reaffirmed or it's
language used in whole or in part. In
all these States, however, the leaning
of the resolutions is against the silver
interest.
It will be seen from this recapitula
ton that there is every reason to ex-
pect an unequivocal sound money
plank at st. Louis. An overwhelming
majority of the delegates are chosen
from States which have pronounced
for sound money, and against not on
ly free silver, but any debasement of
the existing standard. The out and -out
free silver men will be but a handful
in the convention, and their views
should be given no consideration.
Political honesty and political ex-
pediency alike call for an utterance
which cannot be twisted or misinter
preted.-Jour7,al.
