made was one by her designer, J. l..
Porter Of Portsmouth, Va, Of the con-
federate navy. After he made this
drawing the protective shield on her

was launched. In order to preserve
correct representation Of the Alber-
marie, his daughter, under his direction,

true one.

In Memoriam.

Through the thick blackness of
deaths shadows another soul has
passed away, and all that now re-
mains earthly of Uncle Billy Ship
sleeps in the cold and silent tomb.
William Thomas Shipp was born
near Sparta, in Wilson County,
Tenn, April 20, 1877. He moved
with his father to try his future in
the Western district in 1928 and
struck camp at the old Abingdon
farm on Xmas eve of that year. He
was married to Miss Sarah Blake
May 10, 1912. To this happy union
was born two daughters and one
son, J B. Ship, with whom the
people Of our county are well ac-
quainted, he being a successful
business man, a congenial and sym
pathizing gentleman.
This grand couple have journeyed
together sixty-three years. and
have seen Weakly and Obion coun-
ties as wilderness a land where
the nimble deer fed unmolested, and
where the wild fox dug his hole I'M
scared transformed into an erst-
while lovely habitation. During
these years they have been wonder
fully blessed. To see them in their
coy apartment with every comfort
that life and wealth could give, it
did seem hard that they should
part. So kind, so careful Of the
poor, so accommodating Uncle
Billy was known by every one and
respected by all. But alas. these
ties are severed, this grand and
good man has made his landing, |
has accomplished his warfare, and
we think he goes not like some
storm-tossed captain driven out 10

State Prisons.

Mr. John J. Cherry, Who is in di,
rect charge of the State prison at
Nashville, sends us a statement of
the financial condition Of same,
showing a net cash in the treasury
of 1884, 326. 81. This balance after
all improvements made during the
past two years have been paid is
$4,000 in excess of the two pre-
vious years. The last statement is
for 1908 and 1904. Mr.. Cherry,
who is familiar with all the details
of the work, has made an excellent
manager as the work shows. Be-
sides, after personal visit to the
prison we find system opera ting

of eternal life; he has drlfted into
the harbor, he has cast his anchor
and that body from which bis noble
spirit has departed as from some
dark prison shall be reconstructed

what process the change shall be
wrought; we are only told in fig

flower and glorious fruitage of a
bare seed that is sown. But when
the change shall come. then in a
new and spiritual body in a land
where none shall know OF pain, we
shall meet again our husband,
father and friend. 1t is with great
sorrow and regret that we hear OF
the death Of Mr.. ShIpp. and as a
friend of this good man | beg as a
token of my love and respect to lay
some sweet flowers and unfadinp
evergreens on his grave. Uncle
Billy neither assumed virtue nor
presumed upon the confidence of
others, and as high as this eulogy
seems he deserved it.

LETTER FROM ARIZONA. !"

The following letter from the
Arizona Company, due at Rey-
nolds Opera House February 16,
gives the public an idea of the ex-
tent and magnificence of the pro
duction. Several of our citizens
have already witnessed the attrac-
ton and they claim it is one of the
very best given The company
altogether includes over seventy
people, made up of comedians,
principals and chorus. 1t is one of
the high-class extravaganzas and
is staged at very heavy expense,
as indicated below. The regular
price of seats for an attraction of
this kind will prevail, excepting
that balcony seats can be had for
so cents. In the large cities the
lowest price balcony seat is IS
cents. Therefore the prices will
range from so cents to $1.50 as
follows: parquet, $3.50; dress
circle, $1.00; balcony, entire first
four rows reserved at 20 cents,
balance of balcony, so cents.
