Like a breath from the ages of the

read with incredulous minds the tales

no trumpets. sound no new gags nor

We wish to chronicle the death of
Johnnie Ross, who died Aug. 2S He
was born Jan. 30, 1891, and was attend
ing school at the time of his DEATH
commencing the third Monday in July
and never missing day until the day
he died. He was good boy and high
ly esteemed. He was the son of George
Ross, who abandoned his wife and
children some twelve years ago, never
providing for them in any way. They
have been taken care of at the home Of
Dave Layne since then, who provided
for them. The death of the boy was
sudden, the doctors pronouncing it
hemorrhage Of the brain. He leaves a
mother and two sisters to mourn his
death. While they can never greet
him ON earth again, at least they have
the assurance that they will meet him
in Heaven A Friend.

Mr. Editor; Please publish this from
heart broken, free American citizen,
one who believes in brotheriy love.
The first thing in unionism.is broth
erly love. This only makes tit and
joint connection with religion and it is
nothing more than foretaste of it. If
it is brotherly love from the heart, 1t
is union three hundred and sixty-tye

wrong? l think so. 1 have honestly
been doing wrong and that is why l
withdrew from the church of brotherly
love, if it is what it ought to be.
Now, some may think it takes means
to make a brother love some one, but
if he has got love for his fellow work
er, who goes in the bowels of the earth
to toll for his family, there is not
enough of money in the good old State
of Tennessee to buy the unionism in
that mans heart
Some men have got unionism in
their heels. Others may have it in a
standing collar. Some may think it
is their possessions. All such as this
can be bought, but -brotherly love can
not be bought. While l am not a
member, / have clear heart full of
good union brotherly love, and when
this old world divides its people and
the laboring man is allowed to show
his union heart to the world, | will
say here is my heart and here is my
hand, clean as ever, full of brotherly
love-

that did me wrong. 1t was the off
