IN MEMORY OF clyde GRAY.

The Theta School has suffered an ir-
reparable loss in the death of Clyde
Gray, who passed away May 6, 1901.
About two months ago he left school on
a count of lagrippe. Little did we think
that his absence would terminate in an
earthly separation. Often was he heard
to express himself in such way as to
manifest his deep interest in the school
and its work.
Clyde leaves with us good name and
many noble examples. His short school
life among us was spent in earnest
work, and in doing what he could to
give the school the full benefits of his
labOrs. We can Faithfully say that we
never knew him to be recreant to trust
or duty imposed upon him. He was
for several months secretary of the
Philomathian Society, and in this ca
pacity, as well as all others, he did what
ne could to have his reports and records
correct. We deeply deplore his death
and, therefore, be it
Resolved, l. That while we sensibly
feel our loss, we are not disposed tt look
upon it as a calamity We recognize
Gods rulings in this, as well as all
things.
2 In the death of this, our friend and
schOolmate, we extend to the family our
deep sympathy.
3. We Will furnish copies or these res
Olutions to the Maury and Williamson
county papers, kindly asking tor publ
cation.
4. That copy be retained and pre-.
scented to the Philomathian Society of
the Theta School, with request that
they be entered upon their minutes.

PENlTENTIAkY CONvICTS.
Interesting Facts Disclosed by the
Commissioners Report

Some very interesting facts are
disclosed by d study of the statisti-
cal tables in the last report of the
Board of Prison Commissioners of
Tennessee, says the Memphis
Scimitar.
These tables show the number of
cODvicts both for the State and
United States, their age, color,
previous occupation, nativity, edu.
cational qualifications, religious
belief, as well as the crimes for
which they are convicted, and coun.
ties from which they were sentenced
According to this report, at the
beginning of the present year there
were about 744 prisoners confiUed
in the main prison, and the Brusby
Mountain aud Inman branch prisons.
Of this number 239 were United
States prisoners and 800 State con-
victs.
or the State prisoners, the largest
per cent. range between 20 and &c
years of age for both the white and
colored prisoners, with the second
largest per cent. from 20 years and
under for the negroes and from 80 to
~ y Col5 IOl VIC WbIlc COuNIClS.
The table showing the previous oc.
cupatiOn of l 55l State prisoners
furnishes some interesting food fol
thought to the criminal student.
OF this number, $40 claimed DC

cellaneous, 227 as farmers, 81 cooks
20 miners, II brickmasons. IA har.

These figures will be a surprise tt

Clyde Gray.

The subject of this sketch was born
September 3, 1886, and,died May 6, 1901,
being IA years, months and days old
at the time of his death. In the summer
of 1899 he obeyed the gospel as he un-
derstood it under the preaching of Ed.
II. b. Larimore at Beech Grove, Maury
county, Tenn. Although Clyde died
just as he was entering into young man
hood, and although we can not under
stand Gods purpose in taking him from
us so early in life, we feel that his life
was not a failure, but rather anOble one,
leaving an influence for good upon his
associates which will prompt us to a
nobler life and to closer walk with
God.
As his teachers, we can but say that
his department was in perfect harmony
with those traits which make young
man truly noble He was painstaking,
energetic and Obedient, MAI lfesting a
great desire to become a useful man.
We desire to express in this our appre-
cIatiun for his true worth, and to extend
to the hereaved family our deepest sym
pathy. May God override this to our
good and may we be drawn into closer
sympathy for each other, striving earn
estly to reach that "beautiful home of
the soull' to which we hope Clyde has
gone.
