Death Of W. N. Stone.

One of Union city's best citizens,
w. N. Stone. died at his home early
last Saturday morning of eryNpe-
las, from which he had suffered for
about two weeks.
Deceased W S born at Medon.
Tenn. May 9, 1871. He was mar
ried Dec. 81. 1865. to Miss Catherine
E. Rowsey. Three children blessed
this union, only one surviving. In
1887 Mr.. Stone and family moved to
Union City where they have resided
continuously since that time.
r. M Stone, of Jackson, was pres
emf during his fathers illness and
demise. The deceased was also
step.father to Mrs. John J. Cherry,
to whom he was unselfish in his de-
yotion and consideration.
Mr. Stone was left an orphan in
infancy, and truly he was the archl-
tect of his own character and sue
cess. In boyhood he professed faith
in the Christian religion and be-
came member of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church. He was also
member of the Golden Cross. AS
in everything else he was true and
valiant to his country during the
Civil War. being member of
Georgia regiment under General
Lee. With til e army he worked
through Virginia, where he was
wounded near the close Of the war.
Here was man whose principle
time did not wither n or custom
stale. He was in all trials and
emergencies the same true, loyal
advocate and Supporter in all that
he conceived to be right, and his
judgment was evenly balanced.
Honest and positive in his convic-
tons, he was always fair-minded
and respectful of others, never Of
Tending and thus establishing the
qualities of well-rounded intel
lect. He was as gentle and consid-
crate as he was broad and strong.
He was devoted and true to his re-
ligion, his home, his family and his
friends, never faltering, never for
getting. His faithful and devoted
survives, who tenderly
and lovingly administered to all his
wants, constantly watching by his
bedside in his last illness and con-
slant until the end. The tie was
thus severed only as far as the body |
Is concerned, to be reunited again

Entertained by Mrs. stanfeld

A very unique and popular social
affair was the entertainment given
by Mrs. Fl. C. Stan6eld in honor Of
her guests, Misses Comegys and
Bond, last Friday afternoon at her
College street home in the city. A
large number Of friends were pres
emit. Assisted in receiving by Mrs.
John Bell, Mrs. Posey and Miss
Nora Gardner, the following is a
very graphic description of the in
teresting event inscribed by our So
ciety reporter.
After the arrival of guests each
was given a cheque from st Pat
rick on the bank for 500. In the
rear Of the hall was arranged a rus
tic bank where Mrs. Posey acquit-
ted herself with graceful honors as
cashier, and where the checks were
cashed and paid in small green and
white bags, containing hundred
grains of corn. Entering the hall
of action, the dining room, all were
given catalogues of the articles tor
sale. Piled high on the dining
room table were number of mys-
FERROUS looking packages, neatly
tied in wraps, all numbered and en-
tered in the catalogue under as
sumed names, to be sold TO the
highest bidder. Miss Nora Gard
ner was auctioneer, and her quick
wit and ready flow Of language
made her an ideal in that capacity,
as she is successful in all else she
The bidding was spir-
tied and much merriment arose as
the bundles were opened, since it
uad been utterly impossible for the
purchaser to have any idea of what |
The bundles contained. The fol-
owing is catalogue and key to the
auction:

!. The desire OF every girls heart
(match).
!. One table antique (multiplica-

In the refreshments the same
