A tribute to the memory of Mrs.
Caruthers Norment by her devot-
ed friend, Mrs. Eva Dinwiddie
Brummett, Gleason, Tenn.
Again the dread monster, Death,
has entered a happy home and
snatched the light, the life there
from, and left a disconsolate nus
band and a little motherless babe,
and in her place left black sorrow
and grief and baby cries for saint
ed mother. God in his divine mer-
cy and love allows this sore trial to
be put upon His follower, and by
His great p wer and tender love
He is able to live the strength suf-
ficient 10 bear it, and to fill the
empty, aching void with His divine
sunshine.
Mrs. Grace NOrment was called
home August 9TH, 1897, after a
long and painful illness. 1t is hard
to give her up. She had just en-
tered womanhood, with every
promise of happiness and prosper.
ity. She made her home happy
and was the idol of a devoted hus-
band. Her life was one of contin-
ued christian devotion and she re-
Elected the love of her Master
wherever she was. Her disposition
was one of brightness and' cheer
fulness. In her school life she was
always ready to help the weak and
friendless, to speak words of cheer
and comfort to her associates, whose
little troubles were great to them.
She has smiled away many shad-
ows. She was known and loved for
her lovely, happy character.
In the childhood's home she was
always patient and loving with
those there, and no one can ever fill
Grace's place. She was always
ready with a smile for papa, a help
ing hand for mama and the chill
1ren knew who was ever ready to
help and soothe each one. Her de-
Totion to her family was one of the
many lovely traits Of her character.
Surely the Divine Father has seen
hat her work was completed and |
aid, " tits enough" before she must
ace the hard realities that some,
Who are less faithful, must endure.
May Gods hand cheer and sus-
ain the heart-broken husband in
he saddest period of his life, and
IeIp him to rear the little one mills
owe, that she may make such
ovely woman as her mother, and
nay He shield her from the rough
Tinds of temptation and finally re-
mite the loved ones in the home
here parting comes no more.

Dear Sir-I have just been shown
a report of the battle of Britton's
Lane by you in the Jackson Dis
patch of July 23rd, with request
for information or correction.
l think you are in error in stat.
ing Gen, W. III. Jackson led the
attacking charge. Major Balch,
who was commanding the remnant
of the old Forrest regiment, and
known at the time as Balch's Battal-
ion, was leading the command and
company K. of that battalion in
command of Capt. Rufe Brooks, of
Madison County, was leading the
column. Capt. Brooks being per-
sonally acquainted with the country
and its citizens, received warning
by a citizen (Mr. Britton l suppose)
that the Federals were awaiting our
approach in ambush. He at once
communicated the facts to Gen.
Armstrong and while he was max
ing enquiry of the citizens with
Capt. Brooks, the Federals seeing
our column hating, saw we had
notice of their presence and at once
fired their artillery at us. Gen.
Armstrong seeing the attack was on
us, and having no time for further
enquiry, turned to Major Balch
with command to charge them. He
made three desperate charges
through a corn field. The first one
drove them from their artillery, but
while we were reloading and making
ready for the second charge they
rallied to their guns. On the second
charge we forced them to spike
and leave them in our possession.
While this was going on, Col, Pin
sons lst Mississippi and 9TH Tennes-
see regiments were attracted by the
firing and came to our relief. l saw
them make their gallant charge,
and it was then that Joseph Allen,
John Bradford and VIM. Wendall
were killed, while Ed. Durrett,
Thomas Joyner and Eliphalet Cara
way were wounded. In Capt.
Brooks company, Ed. Peters was
killed and John Boyd was wounded,
besides the loss of many horses. Jno
Hankley's horse fell with him in the
LIST charge from which he received
such injuries that he died in a few
days after reaching his home near
Vildo.
When Gen. Jackson's men
reached the battle, our command |
was dismounted leaving every |
fourth man to hold horses. Col. |
Prisons men carried the spiked
artillery to the rear, made fires out
of fence rails and burned it. One

Sudden Deaths, Barbecue,
Other Items.

On last Tuesday Robert Taylor
partook of a hearty dinner, and was
apparently in good health. After
dinner, he drove his team into the
woods, loaded his wagon with cross
ties and started for the railroad.
He had gone about a quarter of a
mile, when he laid back across the
wagon and died without speaking a
word. His little brother who &C
companied him to the woods gave
the alarm. Mr.. Taylor was about
81 years old. He leaves a young
wife and a host of relatives to
mourn his untimely death.
Another sudden death was that
Of Mrs. Taylor mo relation to the
above wife of William Taylor.
She was attending church at Con
cord, where a series of meetings
was being conducted. The cause
of her death is said to have been
due to excitement. Mrs. Taylor
was about so years old and leaves a
husband and several children, who
have the sympathy of a large num-
Der of friends and neighbors.
Mrs. Cottongim, better known as
"Granny" Cottongim, has been
quite sick with hay fever. DR..
Cottongim claims this to be the
second case of this type of fever
that has ever come under his obser-
walton.
w. ]. Sweeton, of Knightville,
Tenn, spent few days among
friends and relatives here recently.
James Howard, of Ripley, was
on our streets one day last week.
Last Friday was gala day for
league. Prof. Russell, that earn
est worker for souls and education,
was with us. Prof. Russell is do
ing a wonderful amount of work,
considering the small salary he re-
ceives. We suppose this small sal
airy accounts in part for the up-to-
date appetite that the Professor
carries around with him. Oh, my
the good it did do dragged Edge"
to stand off at a safe distance and
watch the Professor and a certain
Baptist preacher crawl up around
fried chicken and green tomatoes.
Squire Conner said it reminded him
of picture he once saw, where a
cyclone struck a dinner table, just
as the ministers finished saying
grace. Prof. Russell made the
opening speech in the morning. He
held his hearers spell-bound for
more than an hour and half. His
words of encouragement to those
who are laboring with him for bet
ter education should have been
heard by some who were purpOsely
absent. We opine that the spy
sent out by those who favor prose
cutting teachers and persecuting di-
rectors will deter his report. Rev.
L. J. Leland spoke in the afternoon
and what he said was highly enjoy
ed. He disappointed our people by
refusing to preach that night, All
IN all, this was a good day for
league. Wish we could have more
of them, but as we cannot we will
appreciate this one the more.

Alterations have been begun In the building
OF the United Charities, at Fourth avenue and
East Twenty-second street, which, when COM
pleted, will add two stories to the original

Provision for this was made when the plans

1t 10 expected that tho alterations will DO fin
ished by Dec. /, at which time the four national
societies OF the Congregational Church having
offices In this city will remove from the Bible
House. and will take possession of the entire
eighth floor of the United Charities building.
These societies are the American Board of Com
missioners for Foreign Missions. tho Congrega-
tional Home Missionary Society. the Concrega-
tional Church Building Society. and the Ameri-

Ranization a year or two later. and the Ameri-

There was a discussion among the societies o
year ago as to the feasibility OF erecting a build.
ing in this city for the use Of the Congregations
