At recent meeting Of state historical

Der, DR.. r. L. G. White introduced the
following resolution, which was adopt
ed by rising vote:
"This society, during all the years
of its history, has not had so many
members who have been alert, intelli-

servation of its interests and the pro-
motion of its welfare, always and under

Resolved, by the Tennessee Histor-
ical Society, that the removal from
Nashville of Bishop E. E. Hoss and
the consequent severance of his person
al association with us causes us sincere
sorrow and that, going from among
us, he carries with him our heartfelt
and cordial esteem and our unfeigned
and continuing affection. We shall
bear him always in our hearts-we hope
to have q permanent place IN his"

Annual Year Book.

The Annual Year Book of the agri-
cultural department OF the University
of Tennessee has just been issued, and
is classed as No. Of Vol. Q of the Uni
versity of Tennessee Record. The An
nual Year Book is considered one of
the most valuable publications of the
University, and is devoted entirely to
scientific subjects relating to agricul-
ture. The articles contained in it are
grouped under the general heads of
agriculture, animal husbandry, dairy
husbandry and horticulture. The lead
ing article is an interesting account of
the short course in agriculture at the
University.
The Year Book has rapidly become
very popular among the farmers OF the
state. The articles contained in it are
the results of scientific investigation
made by specialists in the different
schools of the agricultural department
under the direction of Prof. Andrew M.
Soule. The absence of technical phrases
and the simplicity of the language, to-
gether with valuable and beautiful IL
Illustrations have added greatly to the
popularity OF the Year Book. The in
formation afforded is exceedingly prac-
teal Some of the articles in this book
are the following:
Comparative Values of Different
Phosphates; Making Hay from Sereals
and Legunes; Cattle Growing in South
west Virginia; Homegrown versus I'm
ported Seed; Problems in the South
with Special Reference to Beef Produc-
ton; Factors in Swine Breeding; I'm
portance of Pure Milk; The Tillage of
Hillside Lands; Insect Pests and Rem
edies. The contributors are Andrew nj.

Those most interested in establishing
a night school in johnson City have
decided to postpone opening the insti-
tuition until next fall and then continue
it through the winter months. 1t is

backing necessary to its success.

Ketucky where he will in future reside.
During his residence here he has made
host of warm friends, everyone of
whom will regret to see him leave.
Wherever he may cast his lot he will
have always the hearty desire of our
people for the fullest measure of sue
cess.
The project Of establishing 0 night
school in johnson City has met with
the hearty approval Of our citizens.
Owing to the lateness of the season
when the suggestion was made, the fact
that the nights are already growing
shorter, and other difficulties in the
way, it has been thought best to defer
the opening Of a regular night school
until next fall. A number of pupils
who were eager to begin will be taught
by private parties.

order requiring all creditors of the city
to present their bills to the Recorder

Anti-Saloon Legislation.

From information to be obtained it
may be several days before the tenn
perance bill introduced in the senate

on education and common schools by
request of Senator Adams, who intro
duced the measure in the senate. AS
yet, no meeting of this committee has
been called by Senator Bell, who is
chairman, but the supporters Of the bill
are very confident that twill be report
ed upon favorably.

Change OF Venue.

The litigation between the old and
new water companies in this city has
taken new turn. Not satisfied with
the present laws governing springs,
creeks and riparian rights, the Johnson
City Water Go. wants them amended,
aud has had introduced in the senate
the following bill:
"By Mr.. Cox-To authorize water
companies having contracts to supply
water to state or national homes for
disabled soldiers and like public insti-
tutions to condemn springs, creeks,
waters and riparian rights necessary to
their contracts, "
If this act passes and it should re.
quire all the water now flowing into
the reservoir to supply the Soldiers
Home, the city water could be cut off.
We anticipate no trouble along this
line, however, because disabled soldier
has no more right to water, although
he may have less use for it, than an
ordinary mortal, and law that would
allow any class of citizens to monopo-
lie the water supply would be class
legislation in its worst form, and could
not stand. All water companies must
be given the same rights under con-
domination laws. Perhaps it would be
proper for the legislature to say that
before a contract is made to supply a
state or national home for disabled SOL
diers, the company signing the contract
shall first have water supply, and not
depend upon interference with the
rights Of others.

J. D. cox DEAD.
One Of the Most Prominent of Upper East
TenneSSeanS.

Jonesboro, Jan. 12.-J. d. Cox, one
of the most prominent men in upper
East Tennessee, died here very sud
denly this morning. Mr.. Cox arose at
4 o'clock, ate his breakfast and went to
the Southern depot to take an early
train to Bristol. He had an engage
ment with a Bristol oculist TO have his
eyes treated today. While standing in
the waiting room at the depot talking
to number of friends he suddenly fell
backward, and expired in the arms Of a
friend who interrupted his fall. Heart
affection is considered the cause OF his
death.
Mr.. Cox was born at Boone's Greek,
Washington county, in 1928, making
him now 10 years of age. He went to
California in 1S49 as one of the gold
seekers, but returned to this section in
1858. During the civil war he was en-
gagged in business in Knoxville. He
was a union sympathizer, but did not
enlist in the army. At the close of the
war he returned to Jonesboro and en-
tered business for himself. In 1886 he
organized the Jonesboro Bank & Trust
Co., and remained q director and its
president until the time of his death.
He was also president of the Unaka
National bank at johnson City. BY
his industry, honesty and attention to
business, Mr.. Cox became the wealth.
est man in Washington county. He
was devout member of the Presbyte-
rian church, and attended services al
his church yesterday.

That Sample Road.

The impression seems to be abroad
that the government will build sam
pie road from the city to the Soldiers
Home and that Mr.. Eldridge was here
a few days ago to make q survey. This
is entirely erroneous. The COMET
stated the facts about Mr.. Eldridge's
visit at the time He was here to build
q sample piece of road provided the
city, individuals or the county would
pay the cost. The government propos-
ed only to furnish the machinery and
superintend the work. The county
court took no action in the matter al
