summons was given, and Brother Rob-
ert l.. Bruner is not, for God took him.
Brother Bruner was born in Wades-
boro, n. c., on June the 10th, 1861.
He was happily married to Miss Beat
rice Crowder, who survives him, on the
18th day of October, 1889. To them
four children were born, one daughter
aged fourteen years, and three sons,
the youngest being two years old.
Brother Bruner was member of the
M. E. Church, South, and died sud
denly at his home i'll Knoxville, Tenn,
on the 18th day of July, 1905.
He came to Johnson City in the year
1891, and engaged in the mercantile
business until the year 1903, when he
removed to Knoxville, where he be-
came broker and followed that voca-
tion until his demise. AS q merchant
he was very successful, and no less SO
as broker. He accumulated hand
some estate and left his widow and
children we'll provided for.
Brother Bruner was made a Master
Mason by Johnson City Lodge No. 486,
T. & A. NJ, on the 18th day of Septem-
Der, 1899. He did not often meet with
us in the lodge room. He was a man
of affairs; was very busy man by day
and when night came he was rarely alb
sent from home. He was pre-eminent-
ly devoted to his wife and children,
and loved his home; and while he be-
lieved in the principles of Masonry and
generously aided the needy, and was a
liberal church contributor, yet it was
in his family, as husband and father,
where his noblest traits of character
shone with most effulgence. There he
was uniformly affectionate, tender,
thoughtful and kind. It is no wonder
that she, so sadly bereft, said to one OF
your committee; "Ours was happy,
beautiful married life of sixteen years. D
One who made home so happy we'll de-
serves to be affectionately remembered,
not only by those who for whom he
mainly gave the unhagging energies Of
his life, but his memory should be
cherished by his brethren, and this VIZ
resolve to do.
Resolved, end; That our sympathy
shall ever be given to those SO sudden
ly and so sadly bereft of husband anG
father; and we pray the Heavenly
Father to guide, guard and comfor
the distressed widow and the father
less children.
Re; oIved, 3rd; That this mark of OF
esteem for our departed brother, an(
this token of our sympathetic interes
in those now in the vale of sorrow, bt
spread upon the minute book of on
lodge, aud that copy of the same b
, furnished the family of our departet
brother.
This August 18th, 1905.

an daftor the ending Of the first inning
there was hut little doubt OF Il victory
for the local team. The Shipbuilders

they found O'Kccfc, the first Of the
phocbus pitchers to face them, for
four singles and three doubles and
during the remaining four innings
they touched Hopkins, who succeed
ed Okccfc, for four singles.
Warner, Il young hoy who recently
graduated from Webb Academy, New
York and who pitched on the nine of
the school, was in the box for the
locals, and the Phocbus boys found
his curves difficult to solve. He has

Breathes there man with soul
90 dead, who never to himself
hath said, "my trade Of late is
getting bad; Ill try another ten
inch ad." If such there be- 60
mark him we'll, for him no bank
account shall swell; no angel to
watch the golden STAIR, TO welcome
him a millionaire. The man who
never asks for trade, BY an ad or
local line displayed, cares more for
rest than worldly gain, and patron
age gives him but pain. Tread
lightly friends, let no rude sound
disturb his solitude profound.
Here let him lie in calm repose,
unsought except by men he owes.
And when he dies go plant him
deep, that naught may break his
drea,nless sleep; where no rude
clamor can dIspel the quiet that he
loved SO we'll. And that the world
may know It's loss, place on his
grave = wreath of moss; and on .

Il on,e knew q remarkably kind

The lad with the permit uttered .

"For about half mile the game
