Obituary.
Death Turks in every flower
And every passing breeze.

Death quietly entered the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. McCorkle,
June D, 1907, and claimed for its
own the beloved and only son,
James E., aged two years aud p
days. James was of a sweet dis.
position, kind and affectionate and
the ideal of the home. Oh, how
hard 1T is to part with those we
love. We can only bow IN humble
submission and say 1T is Thy
Will, o Lord, not ours. 1t is for
purpose none can tell. A home
that was once filed with sunshine
and laughter is now in sorrow and
sadness. The once smiling face
that was the light of the home lies
cold and silent in the grave. To the
broken hearted parents and little
sisters, we commend you to lean on
Jesus. He is the source of all light
and can heal the broken hearts.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Castleberry Monday after
noon at the home, after which the
little white casket was bourne to
East View Cemetery, where the
lifeless little body of little James
was planted under bank of flow
ers contributed by loving friends.
Their home is sad and lonely and dark,
No little James now we see;
But Christ will give heavenly spark
To comfort you and me.
Twas death that closed his beautiful
eyes,
In sweet and calm repose;
And now he sings beyond the skies,
Where all his JOY he knows.
Weep not, dear father, mother and
friends,
For he is now at rest;
The Saviour to his flock attends,
And they are always blest.

Laws of Two States in Conflict Over
Estate.
GAINESVILLE, Tenn, June 20
Where was w. H. Bryarly's home +?
On that apparently simple question
rested the division of a fortune of
several hundred thousand dollars.
The question, however, is not as
simple as it sounds, for Bryarly
was a wealthy bachelor, and diyid-
ed his time between Clarksvllle,
Tenn, and Louisville, Ky. When
he died he left no will, and the
courts we're left to divide his estate.
Then the question of which city
was his real home arose. If the
Kentucky city was his legal domi-
cile, the second cousins were due
for a share of the estate under the
Kentucky law. If GAINESVILLE was
his real home, only the first cousins,
his nearest of kin, were the heirs.
Bryarly lett seventeen first cousins
and twenty-seven second cousins.
After long legal battle il was
decided that although Bryarly spent
four-fifths of his time in Louisville,
GAINESVILLE was really his home, ac-
cording to decision of a Louisville
court.
