Resolutions of Respect.

We, your committee appointed to
draft suitable resolutions in regard to
the death of Alfred White, beg leave to
submit the following:
That in the death of Alfred White,
we, as board of trustees, have sustain
ed an irreparable loss. He was one OF
the most substantial friends of our
seminary and a firm supporter of edu-
cation in general. We do most humbly
deplore our loss in his death, but we
submissively bow to the will of Him
who doeth all things well.
That our neighborhood has lost one
of its most upright citizens. His hon.
esty and integrity were unchallenged.
That his family has lost kind father
and an affectionate husband. And tina
we extend to them our sympathy il
their sad bereavement.
That we record a copy of these reso
lutions in our minutes and that a copy
be sent to the Jonesboro Herald ant
Tribune and to the Johnson City Com
EFT for publication.
Respectfully submitted, this May

This beautiful little city of Eastern

hustle about it now that has been I'M

Respectfully Dedicated to W. C. Snapp

The sudden departure of a young
man answering to the name of Conrad
Lueder caused less excitement in John
son City than it seems to have caused
in the newspapers out of the city. The
truth is, this young man came here
from Knoxville, and the story goes that
he worked as a machinist there. Be
that as it may, his mission here seems
to have been one of love and it had
nerved him for any Undertaking. Cupid
seems to have flown to his head and
finding it unoeeupied pre-empted the
territory and ratified around in his era

that he was prepossessing in appear

could obtain on credit and, left unpaid
every bill he made, even his cigar bill
He boarded at Hotel Carlisle, roomeC

drove turnouts from the City Stable
When the time came that he could NJ

left notes to his creditors announcing
the dismal fact that he was going t.
commit suicide by drowning in LAKE

He claimed in his last will and tesla
ment that he was a brother of Baroness
G. Won Bergen, Uhlenharst, Hamburg

here that he was worth several thou

City National Bank.

Last Monday morning the Bank of
johnson City became the City National
Bank by due authority of the govern
ment. This gives Johnson City two
National Banks for the first time in its
history. There will be no change in
the directors or officers of the bank.
Under their management the bank has
done we'll during its first year and the
officers are to be congratulated. The
capital stock has been increased to $50
900 and this with the safeguards thrown
around it by the laws governing nation
al banks, will make it much stronger.
Johnson City has every reason to be
proud of its banking institutions and is.

Have You Gotten Your Coffee?

McClure's Magazine has added some
what to the popularity of NJ. Jackson S
grocery store this week. The Ohio
Coffee Co, advertised in McClure's that
it would give away a package of the
famous White Star coffee to the holder
of copy of the advertisement. This
coffee is worth from % to 40 cents and
the ads dropped in upon Jackson like
an avalanche. The coffee is one of the
best brands upon the market and is for
sale exclusively in this city by Mr..
Jackson.

The New York Commercial Advertis-
er speaks of "Carmack, of Tennessee,
emitting personal blackguardism of the
president under the impression that he
is engaged in debate" Nearly every
thing that Carmack said in connection
with the president was quoted from
Rooseyelt's own utterances; and the
adjective he applied to him was "stren-
uous," which is the fayorite term Of
the president to designate himself. The
Commercial Advertiser evidently did
not read the speech of the senator from
Tennessee; or it may have confused
Funston with Roosevelt, a very natural
mistake under the circumstances. -

Killed by Lightning.

Brief mention was made in last
weeks Times and Democrat of lady
having been killed by lighting in the
upper section Of the county. The
particulars of the sad affair was sent
in by our Gleaton correspondent last
week, but too late for last weeks pa
per. Our correspondent says the Glea-
ton community was greatly shocked
on the tenth instant to hear that Mrs.
Hase!tine Williams and her daughter
in-law, Mrs. Lucia Williams had been
killed by lightning on that day. Two
of Mrs. Lucia Williams children were
also shocked, but they recovered.
When the fatal bolt descended the
ladies were in the yard putting some
chickens in a coop, and it is rather
singular that both ladies should be
killed, two children severely shocked,
the coop torn all to pieces and aot one
of the chickens was hurt. Mrs. HaSel-
tine Williams was member Of the
Methodist church and Mrs. Lucia
Williams was member of the Bap-
tist church. They were both buried
in the same grave at Rocky Swamp
