JAMES H0LTKAMP.

Victoria, Tenn, August 6, 1905.
On Thursday night, about nine o.
clock Mr.. James Holtkamp died at his
home in Whitwell, after long illness
of about tifty-fve days, of pneumonia
and typhoid fever. He was nearly 32
years of age. He leaves a wife and
step son, a father and mother, one
brother, three sisters and many
friends to mourn his loss. He had
many friends and was a good man in
every respect. He professed religion
about fifteen years ago and joined the
Nj. E. Church, and, as far as we know,
he lived close to the church and to
God S work. and we hope he can stand
on the right hand SIDE Of God and He
may say well done We visited
his home several times during his i'll.
ness and he did not seem to doubt Of
getting well. We talked over the
years that we had spent together and
the work at Whitwell and he said he
would hurry and get well so that he
could go back to work He had gooj
treatment and care but it was his time
to go and Gods will that he should.
We spent three years together some
fifteen years ago and he was like a
brother to me and l hope to live Sc
that some day can meet him as g
brother again. Our friend only paiC
the debt we all have to pay and
we grieve over his death and extend
our sympathy to his relatives and vii
never forget him. May God be will
us as we go on down this dark path.
Till that day when He shall call us
To that glorious land of rest,
Then if we have done but little,
God will know we've done our best.

The picnic and singing convention
held at Bryant's Chapel on the goth
of July was to the point, and good
speaking and singing was done that
day. 1t seems that everybody enjoyed
themselves but those who were getting
beat. The song sung by Ebenezer
Glass, No. 1862, THAT wonderful Day, -
sung by seventeen singers was sweet.
Shoemake Grove did good singing,
Bryant Chapel sang two good pieces,
but the Bridgeport class shelled the
woods with the whole thing in the af-
ternoon. Prof. Reeves was requested
to call Bridgeport class, as the other
classes were fixing to leave, and they
sang four or five songs by request.
Bridgeport Glass was composed of fif-
ty singers from nine to forty-fve years
of age, and they opened the eyes of all
the other classes They had only
practiced a few days previous to the
convention.

Telephones in America.

Cent Per Cent: No country in the

the telephone so thoroughly part Of
its daily life as Sweden. The govern.
ment owns the system, leases the ser.
vice to the people at prices SO low
that practically every home has its
private phone. But in addition to
this, the public service is so thorough
ly accessible that is is cheaper than
writing. In Stockholm, for instance.
there is public telephone at almost
every street corner, and before every
restaurant, hotel, place of a.
musement, cab stand, etc. Besides
there are hundreds of closed pavilions.
