PENCE.

Mrs. Dora Pence was the daughter of
John Walter, Esq, was born in Wash.
ington County, Tenn, May /, 1868, and
died in the same County at her home
near Limestone, Tenn, in the 39th year
OF her life. She being religiously train.
ed gave her heart to God early in life,
and entered the pales of the Methodist
Episcopal Church when about IA years
of age, and after a pilgrimage of near
a quarter of a century arrived at her
heavenly home Nov &c., 1896, and was
admitted into the Church triumphant
March 10, 1877. She was united in
holy Wedlock with Geo. T. Pence, of
the Brethren (Dunkard) Church, with
whom she lived most agreeably and
and happily until the close of life.
Connubial happiness, sanctifed by
grace divine is seldom if ever more
manifest than in the home of Brother
Pence, and though her bodily presence
is removed from his home, yet the
light of her godly life continues to
shine there. Sister Pence died of con.
sumption and as the end came near she

SOME "REMINISCENCES No. 4.

The Democrat dated February 10,
1852, opens with al article under the
head of "Whig Doings," in which he
goes for the Wing Legislature for gere.
Wandering this and the other Congress.
sional Districts of the State 80 as to
give the plagued Whigs' a majority.
This, the First District, he says, is com-
posed of the counties of johnson, Car.
ter, Sullivan, Washington, Hawkins,
Cooke, Greene, Granger and Jefferson.
These counties in 1849, gave q Wing
majority of 1855 and in 1851, a Wing
majority 1,451. The Second and Third
Districts he says are also arranged so
that the Wings can elect whatsoever
they please for the next ten years.
He also complains that in arranging
the ten districts of the State eight of
them are Wing by pretty decided ma.
Jorities, and that the two Democratic
districts are so largely Democratic that
one would suppose nearly all the Dem.
ocratic votes in the State had been
crowded into them. Then he exclaims:
where is Deaderick who promised so
fairly during the last canvass not to
vote for districting the State for politi-
cal purposes; and where is Telford who
sent forth his circulars through the
country to the same etfsotp"
Mention is then made of q disease
something similar to the "cold plague"
which had broken out in the family Of
Rev. VIM. Reed, of Fifth District.
Three of his children had died within
a few Lours after they were taken and
another, a son, who was at the funeral,
was taken sick on bis return home and
also died. Adam Sliger's family had
also suffered from that same disease.
During the past week a revival of
religion has been going on in the Bap.
tist Church at this place. Revs. VIM.
Cate, Mr.. Upton, Of Jefferson and Mar.
tin Kitzmiller, have been engaged in
carrying on the good work. Numbers
have professed a change of heart, and
numbers also are enquiring for the new
way"
In addition to the notice of the re.
vival at present going on at the Bap-
fist Church, we are gratified to add
that an extensive one is also going on
at the Methodist Church in this place,
under the charge of Rev. E. E.'Gillen.

airy. 1t was highly complimentary and
made us exclaim, as did Dan. Webster
at the extravagant praises of General
Foote, 'Oeitout!' We have, however,
filed the missive away in u cabinet

and hereby tender our thanks to the
person who was so kind as to remem-
Der us on the holy day. The kindness
makes a considerable impression on
