sweet friend. Bro Walker of Santa
Fe made an appropriate talk, trying
to console the many weeping friends
that had gathered there to pay the last
tribute of respect to the deceased.
Cecil expressed himself as being ready
and even anxious to go; aud when we
think of how sorely afflicted he was,
we feel that it is not quite right to
grieve All, mother, father and
brothers, remember while your hearts
are bowed in sorrow, that Cecil has
crossed deaths river, and that he left
with us the sweet assurance Of rest
over there, where pain and sorrow can
not enter. Let us pray that we may

COMMENTARIES AT WORK.
Several Towns in Middle Tennessee
worked"

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. II Govern
ment officials are just now having
trouble with an apparently well-organ-
lied gang of counterfeiters and bill
raisers. From half dozen small towns
through Middle Tennessee Marshal
Overall and his assistants have received
reports of one dollar bills raised to tens,
having been passed upon unsuspecting
persons
The gang seems to be taking in all Of
the better towns in Middle Tennessee,
gradually working north, but taking
pains not to come close to Nashville
So far the victims have been country
merchants and tollgate keepers, though
raised bill passers seem to have a spite
against the latter. Four out of five
cases reported have come from keepers
of gates. The reports received during
the past few days have come from
Dickson, M urfreesboro, Ashland City
and L4ewsburg, but the latest case
comes from Gallatin.
