All jTa,se 10 the Ladies Of johnson City
The Oak Hill Cemetery Association,
which is composed of ladies from all
the different churches of the city, have
been working very hard fot several
months to raise sufficient funds to fence
the cemetery, This has been very
hard ank difficult task to undertake,
but when woman hand themselves to-
gether to accomplish anything, their
efforts are most always crowned with
success.
The fence around the cemetery was
completed last Saturday at a cost of
something over two hundred dollars,
and the good ladies of the city have it
all paid for with the exception of about
seventy-dye dollars, and rs their funds
are now exhausted, an appeal is made
by them to all the citizens of johnson
City and elsewhere, who have their
dead buried there to aid in helping to
pay off this indebtedness. The associ-
alton will continue its good work, and
very shortly will paint the fence and dc
other work which is. very necessary,
Those who have friends and loved ones
buried there should help in cleaning
up the cemetery, as its present condi.
tion is adisgrace to our city.
-.
The Oak Hill Cemetery Association
has the following officers: Mrs. G. K
Lide, president; Miss Sallie Faw, treas
urer; Mrs, S. ], Bolton, secretary.
All praise to the ladies' of johnson
City. Had it not been for them the
cemetery would still be used as a COW
pasture.

HIS CLOSING SUMMER SERVICE.
Rev. DR.. Fair VIII Leave This Week
to Be Gone Until October.

The services at the Independent Pres
byterian Church yesterday were of unus-
ual interest. 1t was DR.. Fairs last Sun
day with his congregation before leaving
for his vacation.
There was the reception of a new MEM
Der into the church at the morning ser
vice. and the ordinance of infant baptism
was administered according to the ancient
and impressive formula of the Church of
Scotland, from which the Independent
Church sprang. The music was except
ionally fine. the choir rendering with ex-
quisite effect the BaptismaI Chant and
Herbert's splendid offertory, 20 Come,
Let Us Sing Unto the Lord"
DR.. Fairs text was Rev. 1872 "And on
His head were many crowns" He said a
crown is the emblem of sovereignty.
Queen Victoria wears the crown of Eng
land, of Scotland, of Ireland, and in ad-
dition, the imperial diadem of India.
When monarch conquers kingdom after
kingdom, he wears their respective crowns
In token of victory. We learn from the
text that Christ wears, not one, but many
crowns. We have the impression that He
reigns in only one sphere and that His
authority is TO be restricted to the spri-
tual kingdom. But His regal sway is I'M
bounded; il includes not only earth, but
stellar worlds, and even heaven. His
crown encircles every relation of life; we
live and move and have our being within
Its compass; the highest range of thought
cannot soar beSond its golden circuit. No
human being on earth and no angelic be-
ing in heaven is ever for one moment re-
leased from Christs authority, or the OBJ
legation to obey His will All provinces,
whether of matter, mind or spirit, belong
to His empire, for His is an everlasting
kingdom and His dominion ruleth over all.
DR.. Fair then proceeded to speak of the
various crowns Christ wears, dwelling
upon the kingdoms in which He is prop
erly to be enthroned, viz. the natural
kingdom, the temporal kingdom. the COM
mercia world the intellectual world, and
finally heaven itself.
At the close of each service many gath
cred around the pulpit to bid their pastor
goodbye, and to wish him happy vaca-
ton. DR.. Fair leaves this week for Lin
colnton, N. c.. to visit his brother Mr..
w A. Fair, and returning about the
middle of the month, he will sail for the
North, where he viii remain until the
first of October His venerable father
Rev r. \. Fair and his sister, Miss
Josephine Fair. will remain in the city
during his absence.

Weary of her lot in life and depressed
for several reasons, Nellie Scott. an IN
mate of Bessie Stafford's house at Hous-

by firing a shot through her right lung
She will probably not survive The shock Of
the wound.
An unexpected report of a pistol rang
out In the hallway shortly after the wo-
man left the rooms below for another
on the second floor. Previous declara-
tions of suicide she had made, howevef,
at once convinced the others Of what had
happened and on going into the hallway
they found the unfortunate woman swoon-

was with her at the time and used every
possible means to dlssuade her from car
rying out her rash intentions, but to no
effect
DR.. ST ]. b. Graham was summoned to
the place He found on examination that
the shot entered the right breast and PEN
etrated the lung. Unlike the usual method
followed in such cases, DR. Graham did
not probe for the bullet, being convinced
with numerous other prominent physicians
that. the practice tends more to injure
than to better the prospect Of a recovery.
After dressing the wound Dr. Graham
left the patient resting easily, but the
usual effects of such wounds leads him
to believe a recovery very doubtful. The

No effort ever having been made, how
ever, led the others to regard such talk
less seriously than al first.
Only one woman witnessed the shoot
ing but she could not prevent it. The
Scott woman was conversing with her In
the hall, she said, telling of her distress,
when suddenly she produced the weapon
and declared she intended to shoot herseif,
which she did unhesitatingly. 1t is be
