donations to Montgomery's Christian en- terprises grew out of their acquaintance. Mir. Peabody's sole object in his generous gifts is to aid the work undertaken by Christian people, and he has expressed the desire to Mir. Murphy that his con- nections with the donations be kept secret. but on the advice of their attor- neys 1t was deemed best for legal reasons that Mir. Peabody's name be af- fixed to the titles and thus made public.
 Rev. Mir. Murphy will fix the rent the Christian Association will pay during its occupancy of Mir. Peabody's property. He said yesterday that he will fix 1t at a minimum figure in order that the in- come of the Association may be devoted to the new building fund.
 The new building fund must reach the sum of about $30.e00 in order to meet the requirements of the Association. It Is proposed to equip the building with all modern adjuncts fer the work of the Young Mems Christian Association and to make 1t a model building for the noble work which the organization is doing.
 In speaking of the plans for the fund, Mir. Murphy said:
 '"The canvass for the fund will be started early next spring, and I know Montgomery will respond. The Minis ter's Union has pledged its appreciative anu earnest cooperation, ana 50 nave the directors of the Young Mems Chris ton Association.
 T have every assurance that Montgom- ery's business men will also get behind the Young Mems Christian Association, and know the city will join In the noble undertaking heartily and meet MT Peabedy's generosity with a kindred generous spirit. Mir. Peabody has shown his confidence in the future of the work by subscribing s5.0e0 to the building fund alone. and I believe this city will easily subscribe the balance of the money needed"

An Afflicted Family.

Early last summer Jim Turner,
highly respected citizen of Obion coun-
ty. lost a lovely daughter, Miss Lulu,
with typhoid fever. Shortly after her
death another daughter was taken
with the same disease, and for weeks
her life hung in the balance, but she
finally recovered. The next to take
the fever was Mrs. Turner. Broken
down from nursing and worry, Mr.
Turner gradually lost his mind and
refused to eat anything, and it has
been several weeks since he has taken
solid food, all the nourishment he re-
ceives being liquids, which are forced
down him. From a robust man MI.
Turner has become a mere skeleton.
Mrs. Turner is now out of danger.
