wHITLOCK.

Almost two years ago, it was my
great pleasure to visit the home Of DR..
j. W. Whitlock and his invalid sister,
Miss Alice, whom I loved very tenderly,
and in whom l found a most congenial
friend, who is now 80 sadly missed in
the home made so beautiful by her
presence and influence as well as by
those of US who were permitted only
occasionally to enjoy her charming
companionship.
Miss Alice was a young lady of su.
perior natural faculties which were
well cultivated. She endured almost
constant bodily sfliction for many
months preceding her death. She was
naturally of a bright, hopeful disposi-
ton. In visiting her I always found
her cheerful, and resigned. Well do
remember u last conversation. I
spoke to her of that country where
the inhabitants never say, Il am sick. ~
How her face frightened, what a sweet,
satisfied expression was manifest; as
we talked of the loved ones who had
gone before, l remarked, "You have
many to greet you, the precious mother
and brother, and she added with en-
phasis, dear father too"
How strange to US that one 80 prom.
Using, 80 capable, so loving and loved.
should be taken. Truly hath it been
said, death loves q shining mark"
Miss Alice was a member of the Bap.
fist Church. She had given her heart
to the Savior: His grace was her
strength day by day. To her bereaved
ones we extend our profound sympa-
thy, especially to the invalid sister and
loving brother, who watched her 80
tenderly, and whose almost constant
companion she had been from child
hood. May the Comforter abide In
the household, bringing all into close
communion with Christ and heaven,
that they will realize how thin the
veil that separates them from her, who
has gone before.
"I'm thinking tonight of thy home in the
skies,
Thy home so majestic and bright,
OF the visions that burst on thy wondering
eyes,
When thy faith was lust changing to sight.
I'm thinking how sweet from the suffering
n pain
So patiently borne here below,
To be taken to heaven and never again
Feel aught Of earth's anguish and woe.
I'm trying In spirit to rise to the height
Which thou hast safely attained,
But sadly l strive far below thee, tonight
Only dreaming of what thou hast gained.
From the beautiful gate, which for thee
stood ajar.
Even now falls a ray through my gloom,
And thy voice, soft and low, seems 10 say
from afar,
We shall meet in our heavenly home.p
MRS. ]. r. PAYNE.

BY What Right

We hear much Of the Divine right of
Kings, but 1t remains to be proved
by what right far from Divine,
some people make speeches to which
others dare not give utterance. By
what right does your neighbor criticise
the management of your house, your
family and even yourself, when you
never think Of interfering with her af-

ance to yourself? Why should she be
allowed to give vent unchallenged to
censure aud impertinence one fifth of
which II uttered by yourself, would
condemn you in the eyes of all your
acquaintance as unmannerly and
underbred. And if your oficious
friends believes she or he has the right
to say what they please, who gave
them these rights, man or woman?
Certainly not her long suffering victim
who writhes under the sharp lash Of
the privileged tongue. Whatsoever

man has and by w%homsoever it has
been bestowed. 1t is time that a 80.

ing humanity deprived of her right
which is nothing less than right. The
simplest recipe for happiness is to
make others happy. This rarely fails.
We are so eager to do some great thing
that we are apt to overlook opportu.
mites which occur every day for doing
little kindnesses. A few flowers or a
simple delicacy daintily served to one

is done; an unexpected interval of
leisure to a faithful employee by now
and then cutting short the prescribed
hours Of labor, a kind word about
his work and welfare; these are trifes,

give little trouble, but they brighten
the drudgery of a work day life. Do
you think this true and simple recipe
will do? Sometimes people get rich
by a little forethought about them.
The truth car not be burned, beheaded
or cruciied. A lie on the throne is a
lie still and truth in a dungeon is truth

way to defeat, and the truth in the

accidents of position can change the

that we cut down all the worst grades
and then get all the rock out Of E. E.

on the Fall Branch and Jonesboro road,
and not let Bill Bowman and j. n.

OBITUARY.

Robert Arthur Simpson, who has
been in failing health for some months
past, died at his fathers residence in
.Jonesboro, Tennessee, on Monday
morning, April 10, 1897. The immedi-
ate cause Of his death was pleurisy. He
was born at McComb, Illinois, on Sep
TENDER 2S, 1864. He was called early
to his eternal reward, for at the time
that he entered into rest, he had reach
ed only his thirty third year. He did
not have rugged health, and this fact
prevented him from entering a profes.
sional life. He came to Tennessee IN
1883, and has made Jonesboro his
home. He, however, has worked else
where a large part of the time. He
was in the employ of Ogden Bros, at
Knoxville, as shipping clerk. He also
had a position in Chattanooga which
he filled acceptably. His last work was
done for the Dalton Marble Company,
In whose employ he travelled in Ala.
bama and Georgia.
When quite young he made a pro.
fession of faith in Christ and united
with the Presbyterian Church in his
native town.
While in Chattanooga he was a mem.
Der Of the NJ. E. Church, in which he
was an active worker.
For several years past he has been
a member of the Second Presbyterian
Church Of Jonesboro and identified
himself with its various interests.
He was genial and friendly in his
disposition and always popular in 30
cial circles. Wherever he was known
he Numbered his friends by the scores.
He leaves to his friends the record
OF kind words and good deeds. In the
home circle his memory will be cher
ished as that Of q dutiful son and Low.
ing brother. His Christian character
was his " most precious possession
and by it. "he being dead yetspsaketh.'
Over his finished life may be written
Gods words concerning the Christian
dead-"Blessed are the dead, which die
In the Lord, from henceforth; yea,
saith the Spirit, they do rest from their
labor, and their works do follow Them

The examples set by j. d. Cox and
Robert Dosser are certainly to be CON
mended. Mr.. Cox has had bis grounds
nicely %terraced, and sodded, and when
the grass starts will have a charming
residence. Mr.. Dosser has had his front
yard graded and sown in lawn grass,
and once the grass is up and growing
he will have the incest lawn in town.
1t is just such things that 20 to make a
village attractive, and there is no one
10 our place who could not add much
to the appearance of his residence and
the place by just such work.

An Ugly Picture.

A man whose very look forbids your
approach, If he speaks it is a snarl; IL
he smiles-but he does that; his
wife and children are made unhappy
because he holds aloof from them, and
does not enter into any Of their plans
to make home pleasant and cheerful;
he is a burden to himself, his family
and friends, when he might be a Joy
and comfort by using Harris Blood
and Liver Pills, and getting his bilious
ystem cleaned out.
