The Cherry is one of the most
patriotic boats that runs the Ten
nessee river. Early last Sunday
morning, she hoisted a large, new
American flag, about 7X4 feet,
which presented a handsome ap.
pearance while floating in the
breeze.
The City of Paducah passed up
Sunday afternoon, and had on
board about 80 excursionists, who
were making the round trip from
Springfield, ILL.,, to Waterloo, Ala.
She also had some improved road
making machinery on board for
Shiloh, which is to be used in the
construction of roadways about
the battlefield. Among the IA
miliar faces seen on board were
Capt. Kirkpatrick, and clerk, Capt.
Col. Baker, with George Street
and John Stout in the pilot house.
The Steamer P. d. Stages was
here Sunday, coming down about
$3.50, and besides some miscela-
neous freight, took on 10000 feet
of lumber for II. @. Ogle.
Hardin Winship has been in
charge of the Cherry as captain
for the past 10 days. Capt. Kell

This is an age when marrying
and giving in marriage moves on
as of old. When young couple
make up their minds to join their
destinies together for life, mother
and father, nor the entreaties of

gun checks them in their pursuit
of connubial bliss, as has been
demonstrated within the borders

ering every phase of League work.
Not only the three departments,
devotional, charity, help, and lit

inimitable Henry Spence, of Nash

Hymnal," published at our own
publishing house, is the book
which will be used, SO that great

In NIemOriam.

In memory of little Mary Irwin. infant
daughter Of Charlie and Flora c. Gillcck,
who died Saturday, May the 18th, 1893.
The blighting, whitening hand Of death,
like an untimely frost, nipped this tender,
beautiful bud ere it was permitted to expand
into the ful-blown flower, causing sorrow,
like pail of gloom, to overshadow the home
and tearing the very heart strings of her
parents, around whom she had entwined her
little life.
Her brief stay on earth was like ray of
sunshine, or the fragrance Of lovely flower,
to be enjoyed for a moment, and then over
shadowed by cloud, or waited away on a
passing breeze, leaving an emptiness and
aching void. To the fond mother, whose
arms yearn to again clasp her darling to her
bosom, would say, remember she is safely
EMBODIED in the tender embrace of Him who
said: "Suher little children to come unto
me-" and, like "good shepherd" carries
them in His bosom, and there rests secure.
May loving Savior deal gently with the
stricken hearts, and may they be softly touch
ed by the healing hand OF time, causing them
70 realize God knows best. May your
tears and the sunbeams trool the angel side
form a bow Of promise, one end Of which will
rest on your darling's grave, and the other
reach to heaven. II. |. II.

Little Mary Irwin Gillock, only
daughter of Charley and Flora
Gillock, was born April q, 1898.
She came as an angel Of light into
the home, and soon the chubby
little one had bound the hearts of
father and mother, with a host of
other loved ones, with chords of
love that not even death could
sever. But it rather seemed to
strengthen the chords that bound
the hearts of all, when, on the
14th of May, the sable messenger
Of death came into that happy
home and plucked the tenderest
and sweetest flower that had
bloomed in loves fair garden. AS
its little life went out, the chords
Of love seemed to draw the very
life's blood from the fond parents
hearts. She has gone to join the
angels and to rest in the bosom OF
"Our Lord" who said, "Suffer the
little children to come unto me
and forbid them not, for of such
is the gingdom Of God" Yes, she
is there, waiting for the loved ones
she has left behind. She cannot
come back to them. but she draws
their hearts by the chords of love
away from this world TO Christ
who is the resurrection, and the
life, and who has promised to raise
these little ones with him." c
may this little life, which was Sc
brieG, and which was the treasure
of the home, draw the hearts o
it's parents to Him who is all in al
to us in these dark hours. The,
weep not as those who have M
hope of meeting again. q. L. G.
