WAR RECORD OF TENNESSEE

At the recent meeting of the
State convention of Tennessee di'
vision, United Daughters of the
Confederacy, held at Paris, an in.
teresting and historical paper was
read by Mrs. John P. Hickman,
secretary of the Tennessee division,
from which me make the following
extracts:
"BattIes fought upon the soil of
Tennessee from 1861 to 1865, 1922,
the most conspicuous of which were:
Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Murfrees-
boro, Huntsville, Parker's Cross
Roads, Thompson's Station, Hoo
ver's Gap, Missionary Ridge, Knox
vile, Fort Pillow, Memphis, Frank
lin, Nashville. Independent of the
above, a part of the battle of
Chicamauga was fought on Tennes-
see Soil, in which more men were
killed and wounded, for the forces
engaged, than at any battle of the
war, the Confederates losing 17,sO4,
the Federals 10, 1851, the Confeder-
ate losses being the greater, as they

In the course of a personal con-
versation recently, Judge Par
ker, of New York, a prominent can
didate for the democratic nomina-
ton for President, thus expressed
himself concerning the Southern
people: "They are a great people;
they are the countrymen of Wash
ington, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson
and Lee. Their courage and their
constancy have never failed. They
have changed velvet for homespun
and endured the pinch of honorable
poverty, and are just now beginning
to reap the reward of their great
sacrifices. l have implicit faith in
their ability to solve rightly and
righteously the difficult problems
with which they are confronted,
and l believe it is the duty of their
countryman at the North to permit
them to solve those problems un-
molested by irritating political in
reference from the outside"

An Historic State.

THERE are many interesting facts
IN the history of old North Carolina,
some of which shed a sheen of glory
over the native heath of the tar

North Carolina, solitary and
alone, declared her independence
and deied the British power, by the
adoption of the M~ecklenburg Reso-
lutions, months before the other
colonies took any decisive action.

NEWPORT, r. l., Jan -. Separation,
divorce, poverty, reunion with her huS-
band, illness and suffering, and then
suicide, is the history during the last
three months OF Mrs. Melissa d. Godd-

her life this morning with 40 grains of

enough to kill whole company of SOL

Miss Melissa ID. Martin, the prettiest
girl in Pittstield, and few years ago
when she came here with her husband,
Frederick Goodwin, she was considered
as beautiful woman as there was in
the city.
A stately brunette, 80 years old, Mrs.
Goodwin had many admirers here. In
September she sued her husband for
divorce, charging cruelty. The petition
was granted, bat as DEGREES making di-

and Mrs. Goodwin were still husband
and wife when she died. This after

to friend that Melissa was as much
his wife in the sight of God as ever.
Mr.. and Mrs. Goodwin quarreled
nearly a year ago and separation and
and divorce proceedings followed. She
hired a room at ~ Division street and
worked in a department store for a
time. Her family in Maine did not
hear from her frequently and recently
her brother, John n. Martin, promi-
nent business man in Pittsfield, and
Mrs. GoddWln's sister came here and
found her i'll and suffering from priva-
ton. They engaged nurse and physi-
clan and Informed her husband. from
whom her divorce had been granted by
that time. The result was a reunion
of Mr.. and Mrs. Goodwin at her bed
side. From that time Mrs. Goodwin
had no more devoted attendant than
her husband, who over and over again
expressed his regard for her.
The physician had told Mrs. Good
wins relatives that she could not live,
but they were not prepared for the
sudden and tragic end that came
at $50 this morning. She was found in
her room under conditions that in

her mental and physical suffering, she
decided to end it.
The body was sent to the home of
her parents in Pittsfeld this afternoon,

with it. Mrs. GoddWin's relatives would
gladly have taken her home had they
known of her illness and privation here,
