THE ELECTRIC PLANT.

We learn that Mr.. Thomson, after exsmin.
Ing various places. has found no plscr that
suits his purpose better than the well lot,
locate without coat OF rent He desired q lot
where sidslrack from either railroad could
dump coal close 10 the boilers. A aide track
wonid have saved him some 500 year.
When the SeabOard refused 10 give him the
sidetrack, he Investigated places on the
Southern, and came very near making
trade TO move the plant TO u point near the
turn-tabie, below the depot. Mr.. Thomson
expects 10 build the house aud have the plant
Ia operation BY the first OF May. while some
OF those who know nothing about II, think
the lights VIII not shine quite I'D soon IN the
first OF May. When the plant Ia ready To run
the town will have all the light that II needs.
and we needn't care if the moon never does
shine again.

Lively Times Ahead.

II 10 said that some OF the independent cot
ton seed oil mills have bought some Of the
country glnneries In this county, and will
next season gin and pack cotton for ffy
cents bale. This will be the begin ming Of
the wsr TO finish. Tho great trust Will OF
course meet competition. The farmers will
then get their cotton ginned ut half price.
aud the result may be disastrous 10 the
country gins. which cannot AFFORD TO GIN and
pack cotton at nfty cents bale. This reduc-
tion In price will be hard on the owners OF
gin property. but the great mass OF people
will not be hurt.

Vigorous Campaign to Have Legislature
Submit the Question of License.

A most enthusiastic and successful
temperance meeting was held at AS
bury M. E. Church last Wednesday
evening, preparatory to inaugurating a
campaign to have the coming session
OF the Legislature submit the question
OF license" or "no license" to a vote

ment and pledging their support.
1t was then suggested that an organ
lzation be formed at once, and work
begun. This was done, the pastor be-
ing elected chairman of the meeting and
Mr.. Charles J. Sudler secretary. A
canvass for names pledging support
followed, and practically every one in
the congregation gave their names.

DEATH OF JOHN cUMMINs RINGGOLD.
Died Monday Afternoon After a Lingering
Illness in His 23rd Year.

On Monday, the twenty-fourth, inst at
2 O'Clock of the afternoon, John Cum
minis Ringgold passed to his eternal
rest. He was the son of Mrs. Martha
K. Ringgold. He was twenty three
years of age and had lived in Smyrna
fifteen years. He was well-known in
our community, having been employ
ed by several of our business men and
always proving satisfactory to each
employer. His anxiety to work was
so intense that nothing could prevent
him but i'll health. In every position
he occupied he was honest, faithful
and conscientious in the discharge of
every duty, aud had he been blessed
with good health he would have made
his mark as a business man. None
knew him but to praise his many vir-
tues, and while mere youth, he was
commonly spoken of as the "good
boy" He was early made a member
OF the Episcopal Church and loved its
sacred and solemn service, Being
conscious that his days were number
ed and his end rapidly approaching
1t was his delight to have the frequent
prayers of his friends and his pastor,
Rev. Mr.. Gilreath, and to receive at
his hands the Holy Communion. He
gave evidence all through his sickness
of Christian patience and fortitude,
and said he was not afraid to die; that
he was willing to await the Saviour's
call, although his suffering was pro-
tracted and intense. His affection for
his mother and sister and brother was
manifest and tender; and although
racked with pain his thoughts went
out for their comfort. His spirit was
without guile and his affection unos-
tentatious.
Funeral services will be held at his
late residence tomorrow afternoon at
? o'clock. Interment private at st.
Peters Cemetery, Rev. G. Valerie
Gilreath officiating.
