Mr.. Albert Barnes died suddenly
Monday at his home in the Free Hill
neighborhood, about twelve miles west
of Johnson City. He left the house for
the purpose of cutting some wood near
by his residence, but had been out only
a short while when his wife noticed that
the sound of the axe had ceased. The
continued silence prompted Mrs. Barnes
to go out and discover the cause, and
to her horror she found him PROSTATE
on the ground by the log he had been
chopping, dead. Deceased was SO years
of age aud was supposed to be in ordina
ry health.

Just a Little TOO Recent"

The clash" reporter for the Bristol
News has had another premature ex-
plosion. The News of last Saturday
contained the announcement that Mr..
y. X. Bowman, of Elizabethton, and
Miss Lydia Boucher, of this city, had
been quietly married in Bristol. The
statement is utterly without foundation,
and, while Mr.. Bowman is very nice
young gentleman, the young lady is
rather chagrined at being thus uncere.
moniously robbed of her maidenly
identity. She is still ''heart whole and
fancy free. "
