PASS ON THE PRAISE.

The Nashville News published
the following article, and it is such
a beautiful sentiment we feel like
it is worth passing on:
"'You're great little wife, and |
don't know what | would do with
out YOU And as he spoke he put
his arms about her and kissed her,
and she forgot all the care in that
moment. And, forgetting all, she
sang as she washed the dishes, and
sang as she made the beds, and the
song was heard next door, and a
woman there caught the refrain,
and sang also, and two homes were
made happier because he had told
her that sweet old story, the story
of the love of a'husband for wife.
As she sang the butcher boy, who
called for the order, heard it, and
went out whistling on his journey,
and the world heard the whistle,
and one man hearing it, thought:
Here is a lad who loves his work,
lad happy and contented.
"And because she sang her heart
was mellowed, and as she swept
about the back door, the cool air
kissed her on each cheek and she
thought of a poor old woman she
knew, and little basket went over
to that home, with quarter for a
crate or two Of wood.
$50, because he kissed her and
praised her, the song came, and the
influence went out and out.
"Pass on the praise.
"a word and you may make
rift in the cloud; smile, and yor
may create a new resolve; a GRASP
Of the hand, and you may repossesi
a soul from hell.
"Pass on the praise.
"Does your clerk do well2
"Pass on the praise.

"Tell him that you are pleased,
and if he is a good clerk he will
appreciate it more than raise. A
good clerk does not work for his
salary alone.
"Pass on the praise.
Teacher, if the child is good,
tell him about it; if he is better,
tell him again. Thus, you see,
good, better, best.
"Pass on the praise now. Pass
it on in the home. Don't go to
the grave and call mother Don't
plead, 'hear me, mother; you were
a kind mother, you were good
mother, and smoothed away many
a rugged path for me-
"Those ears can not hear that
glad admission. Those eyes can
not see the light of earnestness in
yours. These hands may not re-
turn the embrace you now wish to
give.
"Why call SO late? Pass on the
praise today

CHARGED WITH ROBBERY,
Tom Crowell and Howard DePriest Ar
resse Il on Eagle Creek.

ressed on Eagle Cre"k.
Tom Crowell and Howard De-
Priest, who are supposed 10 have
been implicated in the robbery of
the Cumberland Telephone and
Telegraph Company at Nashville
last November, were arrested at
their homes in the first civil dis
trict and brought to Camden Tues
day morning. Their arrest was
effected Monday night by Deputy
Sheriff G. Il. Holcomb Of Nash
vile, A. N. Lindsey of Big Sandy
and Sheriff r. ID. McCord.
DePriest was found at his home
near the moath of Eagle Greek,
and Crowell was at his grandmoth-
er's, the widow DePriest. Crow
ell gave the officers some trouble
when they located him, and they
had to threaten to break the door
of the house down before he would
submit to arrest.
1t will be remem bared that Mel
vile W. Wheeler, assistant cashier
of the Cumberland Telephone and
Telegraph Company at Nashville,
was held up early one morning in
November and relieved of about
$4,000 in bank notes by two un-
known men.
Crowell and DePriest, suspected
of being the robbers, were arrested
few weeks ago, but there is some
controversy as to just how they re-
gained their liberty. The officers
making the arrest claim that their
prisoners made their escape one
night. Crowell and DePriest as
sert they were acquitted.
Deputy Sheriff Holcomb, who
has been quietly at work on the
case, again located Crowell and
DePriest, and came down Saturday
to effect their arrest. He was fol-
lowed here Oh Sunday by Melville
w. Wheeler, whose identity was
not known here until after his re-
turn to Nashville Tuesday morn
ing. Deputy Sheriff Holcomb and
Sheriff McCord were joined here
by A. N. Lindsey of Big Sandy
Monday morning, and by aid of in
formation in their possession the
officers left for Eagle Greek that
morning and after nightfall they
made the capture.
Just what evidence the David
son County official has against the
men under duress is not known,
but he carried them to Nashville
on Tuesday morning, where they
were bound over to the criminal
court to await the action of the
grand jury, and in default of ST, 900
bonds they were committed to Jail.
It has been intimated that Mel
vile Wheeler sufficiently identiti-
ed the men to justify the officer in
taking them to Nashville.
Even since returning to Nash
vile Mr.. Wheeler, it is said, is very
retieent in regard to the capture
Of Crowell and DePriest, and re-
fuses to say whether or not he had
identified them AS the guilty ones.
Deputy Sheriff Holcomb declined
to make any statement in the case,
and no definite information can be
obtained.
DePriest has the name of being
an honest, upright citizen, and it
is claimed by citizens Of the first
district that he was at home at the
time the robbery was committed.
little is known here of Crowell,
except that he has served term in
the penitentiary for larceny.
