CHESTNUT GROVE.

There has not been much work going
on in this vicinity since the ushering
in of the new year, owing to the wet
weather, more than just keeping com.
Portable. Fess Hilbert killed fifty odd
rabbits for the market last week. There
has been a few cases of diphtheria and
lagrlppe through our neighborhood,
but generally speaking the health of the
people is very good. The Missionary
Baptist Brethren began a protracted
prayer meeting at the residence of
Henry Conner on the 9th, which has
eliminated in a warm revival which
will doubtless prove to be the medium
through which the Baptist Church will
receive several additions. The school
at this place is progressing nicely, al
though we are sorry to say that Prof.
Hair is very much i%ndisposed at this
writing from rheumatism; there was
some talk of Diminishing the school, but
Augustus Keys is serving as his substi-
tute at present. We can say for Prof.
Hair that for his experience he is an
excellent school governor, a patient in
structor and a duteous teacher.

OBITUARY.

Lucinda Conner was born July 80,
1882, died November 20, 1896. Daniel
Conner was born April 1S, 1890, died
December 6, 1896. They were the chill.
dren of Henry and Annie Conner.
These parents have been bereft of their
children which fill their hearts with
sadness. But they need not sorrow az
those that have no hope for they have
reason to know that their little ones
are - rest with God. Lucinda being
IA years old and being a child Of good
traits of character but not having adj
vantages as some others have had
around her, yet she no doubt used her
opportunities to great advantage. She
loved her parents and tried to make
them happy. Before she died she
talked to them about tn life they had
lived and how she wanted them to live
hereafter. She said, II am going to
heaven and I want you all to meet me
there" The death of this precious
little girl no doubt has made an i'm.
preston on the minds of those who
witnessed the scene that never will be
SiooOu' ouO tdihCu ~ 10 bhlu do ~ Out
OF her age was ever heard to; she talked
as if inspired from above; l am told
that the like was never heard from the
life of a child. Thank the Lord fol
such testimony from a child. The
dying words of the darling girl should
be comforting to the sorrowing parents
and friends and should help them to
better life and assist them in doing the
will of God, that when life ends with
them here below, that they may meet
her above where parting is not known.
Daniel being only 6 years old we could
have no doubt of his going to the good
world. For Jesus when he was here
said, Suffer little children to come
unto me for of such is the kingdom OF
heaven" This is a great consolation
to us when our children die that they
go to the arms of Jesus. We can say
thy will be done, and feel it is best fol
them and us. We extend our sympa'
this to those parents and children in
their loss, feeling it Is gain to those
who are gone. GEO. B. Cox.

never known what it was to be stout,

been very great. She was reconciled 10

living faith. There has been two deaths

them were colored people. John Hair,

Mr.. Farnham takes care of the poor.
Miss Hattie Keys has returned home
from Middle Tennessee. where she has
been for nearly a year. Miss Laura
O'Brien and Mrs. John Carter are on
the sick list. Little Jim Bales has
scrofula in his jaws. The good people
down the valley are running a revival
at private houses which began by hav-
ing prayer meetings. They are doing
a great deal of good; there has been
several professions. The meeting has
been going on for some time and il
likely to go on all week. Grandma
Hunt, who had the misfortune to get
her hip broken, is still getting worse
all the time. Jas. Wilcox and wife
were visiting their daughter at this
place last week. S. T. Shipley is still
helpless. Little Katie Garst, who has
had a long spell of sickness. we are
glad to learn is able to go back to
school again. Misses Efie and Ida

ems In fact the secret of good health
is good cooking. II well cooked, foods
are partially digested if poorly cooked
they are less digestible than in their
raw state. II you are a victim of faulty
cooking; that is, if you suffer from dy-

Government Fish Hatchery

For some time efforts have been made
to secur a fish hatchery for this part
of the State, and although the work in
that direction had been quietly done, a
number of other localities than the one
finally chosen were spoken of. At
least twenty two different places we're
contesting for it. but it seems that the
influence at work in favor of Unicoi
was successful as is indicated by the
following:

between Erwin and Unicoi City, and
embraces ten acres of well adapted
land and one Of the finest springs OF
freestone water in all East Tennessee.
Much of the credit for the selection OF
of this place is due to Hon. W. P.
Brownlow.
