Mrs Margaret Ann McAnulty
(nee Woods) was born May IA,
1929. and died at the home of her
son, Esquire d. w. McAnulty, i'll
Hickory Valley, Tennessee, Thurs
day morning at 1882 o'clock,
March %, 1901.
She was married to Esquire Jo-
seph S. McAnulty, deceased, Nov.
II, 1912, she being only thirteen
aud half years old. She was the
mother of eight children, two of
whom survive her, D. w. and r.
A. McAnulty, of Hickory Valley.
She professed religion early in life
and became a member of the old
Bush Camp Ground congregation,
Methodist Episcopal Church, and
remained a member Of that congre
CATION until its dissolution, when
she with her family joined the Mt.
Comfort congregation, Cumberland
Presbyterian Church, afterwards
moving her membership to Hickory
Valley, where she continued a con-
sistent member until her death.
After the funeral service, conduct
ed by her pastor, Rev. J. ID. Cald-
well, the remains were carried to
the Woods graveyard and laid to
rest by the side of her husband, who
had preceded her TO the home of
final rest more than eleven years.
After the death of her husband,
she moved her furniture to the
homes of her two sous and made
her home with them through the
of her life.
For more than two years she was
a helpless invalid, being confined to
her bed all that time. For months
before her death, she suffered in
tense pain. Death for her was in
deed a relief, for she well knew
that those who are with God suffer
no pain.
Early in life she was possessed of
health and strength, and was ever
ready to help the needy. She was
a kind, Conscientious, Christian

WESTERN HOSPITAL.

The JOINT committee, composed
of members of the House and Sen
ate appointed to investigate the
charities of the State, reported Fri
day. We publish below extracts
from said report concerning the
Western Hospital:
This institution has attracted the
attention of each Legislature for the
past several times by the excess of
expenditures over like institutions at
other places. We went to Bolivar
determined to fully investigate the
causes of this and certainly did so,
devoting more time there and max
ing more thorough investigation
than anywhere else.
We are glad to say that we found
the financial management good The
causes of the excess of expenditures
over like institutions to be: First,
they have more patients to care for.
Second, They are SO located that
they are compelled to buy all their
supplies from foreign markets,
thereby necessitating heavy freight
bills to get the goods to the Hos
pital.
Third, Tie distance and heavy
freight and drayage on coal from
the mines and having to buy a bet
ter quality of coal III order to be
able to store it as they can't haul
coal in bad weather.
Fourth, While they have a larger
farm than any other institution, it is
the smallest producer. The land is
very poor and most of it was bought
simply for the wood upon it, so that
they raise comparatively small
crops. We examined the prices
paid for various necessities and com
pared them with those paid by the
other hospitals and they compare
very favorably. We believe the
Steward (Mr. Luther) at this Hospi- |
tai, has bought goods as cheaply as
stewards at other places, and has
done the best possible under the cir
cumstances.
For the institution, we recon-
mend an appropriation Of So, 600 for
repairs and improvements; 50, 400 |
to replace the electric light plant,
recently destroyed by fire, and on
which there was no insurance; and
$500 to insure the property for
five years. We think the general
management of this institution good.
From the report of c. D. NJ. Greer, Revenue
Agent, submitted TO Gov. MillIn, December "A,
1900 we make the following extracts:
"We made close examination Of
each item of expenditure of the
Western Hospital, especially with
regard to the purchase Of supplies
We found that the periutendent, :
with the assistance Of the Steward, !
Mr.. f. S. Luther, are exceedingly
close buyers, in all cases buying
goods as cheaply as the retail mer-
chants, ana In many instances
cheaper.
''Another thing which I want to 5
the management for is the I
of bills for supplies.
We found that all bills were dis \
counted where discount was to be {
obtained. }
''The books of the Institution, as !
will be seen above, balance. Mr. |
Luther's system of book keeping. in [
my judgment, cannot be improved |
upon, his books showing expendi- J
lures classified, SO that the exact |
amount of each class of expeuditur- J
es are obtainable." L

THIS BOOK,
$3,00O,OOO

WASHINGTON June 20.-The last vol
ume of text of the Union and Confed-
crate Records of the Rebellion has Just
been issued and the work is completed
except for the general indexes and sup
Elemental volume of statistics, which will
be finished within the coming fiscal year.
1t has cost the Government upward of
$3,0O0,000 to collect, compile and publish
these records, which in their printed
form include as the preface states ev-
erything having any apparent historical
value" such value being determined by
the compilers. The entire issue, exclud-
ing the general index and statistical vol
umes now in press, is comprised in 127
books of an average of 1000 pages EACH
or an aggregate of $4,000 pages of print
ed matter.
In the preface to the first edition of his
personal memoirs, dated ST Louis, JAN
q. 1875, Gen. Sherman referred somewhat
sarcastically to the delay in issuing the
book At that time not volume in it's
present form had appeared He said:
AT the rate of progress for the last ten
years it is probable that a new century
will come before they are published
This sneer was doubtless thrown out
tor the purpose of expediting the work.
Little did the old hero imagine at the
time that twenty-five years would be
consumed in it's publication, and no more
did he comprehend the scope of the work.
AT that time it was estimated that forty
volumes would fulfil all the requirements
/ Ten years later in a preface to the sec
ond edition of his revised memoirs the
irascible Sherman, in similar strain
again reverted to the war records. u
am afraid he said, IF I assume again
( the character of prophet / must extend
(, the time deep into the next century, and
/ pray meanwhile that the official records
OF the war may approach completion be,
fore the next war, or rather that we, as
a people, may be spared another war I'M
til the last one is officially recorded"
I His prayer was not fulfilled; there wa:
another war ere the records of the Re
bellion were finished in book form, bu
their completion will not extend any
deeper into "the next century than {
few months hence. There has, perhaps
been cause for complaint, although it wa:
critical undertaking, which required
care and time.
The job was started tentatively thirty
six years ago, but it did not take actua
form until 1874. Volume l. was issued il
1880. The compilation was at first il
charge of civilians connected with tn,
War Department, but aIrerward wa
more fully organized by an army officer

HER TEARS ARE HER FORTUNE.

do you see that woman in black sit
ting there?" said a railroad detective.
We'll, she possesses the rare gift of be-
ing able to cry naturally ana at will.
IF she sees a group of well dressed
men in station waiting for a train she'll
sit or stand very near them and burst out
crying. OF course, her misery will at
tract attention and some man will surely
come to her relief. The story is that she
has no money to buy a ticket to go to
her dying daughter in the next town. 1t
is common thing for men to give her
few dollars promptly and never ask any
questions She has a variety of stories
to tell. think she IS the most success
full beggar l know.
Crying at will is something I don't
understand. 1 have seen counterfeit
cries galore on the stage but this, wo-
mans cry is much nearer the real thing.
No, she does not hold a handkerchief to
her eyes at all She just keeps her face
well up, and sobs freely, her tears rolling
down her cheeks that all may see them.
She can cry anywhere.
1--WE seen that woman stop on the side
walk near where three men were stand
ing and sob as if her heart would break.
When one of the men asked what the
matter was she replied she lived twenty
miles away and had lost her purse. The
three men gave her a dollar and a half
in jiffy and asked no questions. How
often in a day she does turn like that
l don't know.
"She does her turn so artistically that
we hate to turn the fraud down. One
time / did interfere in the front of a
hotel, but the five men she had cried to
simply gave me stony stare and waved
me off, as they handed her a few small
bills. They wouldn't hear my story and
swallowed her tears of woe as a trour
jumps at a fly. 1 guess those men would
rather feel they'd helped poor woman
than believe there was such a fraud.
That's why 1 let her go.
mo, I'm sure she uses no onion, or
other pungent doors to cause her tears.
Her tear glands are ever ready On tap
and never appear to be empty. Some
| days ago I asked a doctor about it and
he couldn't explain it more than to say
| that practice makes perfect, and that
| the tear glands could be developed the
same as any other portion of the human
body I have promised to show him the
woman some time."-New York Sun.
