LITTLE CHILD KILLED.
WasIey, son OF. A. w. Presson, Victim OF a
Target Rifle.

The accidental shooting of little
| Wesley Presson, the three ear-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Presson,
last Friday afternoon sent a thrill
of horror throughout the town and
community. Many theories have
been advanced as to how the acct
dent occurred, for there is little
question that it was anything but
an accident.
Mr.. and Mrs. Presson were not
at home at the time, but were at
the store. The child is thought to
have attempted to remove a target
rife from a rack, and in some way
it was discharged, the ball enter
ing his forehead, killing him al
most instantly.
The scene which followed was
heart-rending, and for a time it
seemed as if Mrs. Presson would
hardly survive the shock. She is
Frustrated with grief. and on the
advice of friends she was taken to
Nashville Monday in the hope that
change of scene would at least
relieve her intense nerve strain
and soften her grief.
Wesley was bright, pretty boy
with sweet sunny disposition,
and idolized by the family, but the
sunshine of love could not stay the
bullet that severed the cord of his
young life nor could the affection
of parenthood restore him for even
a moment; in his stead is left only
a memory-a sad memory-that
will linger as long as PARENTAL ex-
istence.
The small body was laid to rest
in Camden Cemetery Saturday af-
ternoon by gentle hands, Rev. j..
W. Wardlow and Rev. E. M. Math-
is conducting the burial service.
No life is all sunshine or all
storm. A home has been sadden-
ed, the tiny bud of humanity is no
more, but its memory should in-
spire the parents and sister and
little brother to hope and let the
promises of the Holy Father fill
their lives with thoughts of purity
and righteousness to the end that
all will find a happy greeting on
the other shore.

Here's a good one from an ex-
change: "a few days ago rather
bashful young woman went into a
store carrying three chickens.
She inquired the price of chickens
and at the same time put them on
the counter. The clerk didn't
know the chickens feet were tied,
and asked if they would lay there.
She bit her handkerchief and said
NO, sir; they are ROSTERS"

Richter went to the bottom of it

We take pleasure in announcing
that John B. Garrett, grand secre-
tary of the grand lodge of f. and

tomorrow and lecture at Masonic
Hall, beginning at o'clock p. m.
This is indeed rare treat for the
local lodge, as Brother Garrett is
known to the Masonic fraternity
of Tennessee as one of the bright
est Masons in the State. He will
go from here to Sugar Tree next
Monday.
Mere words do not begin to give
an idea of how the entertainment
at the court house last night was
enjoyed and appreciated. The
songs were by home talent exclu-
sively, and were well rendered.
"Dixie," SO dear to the Southern
heart, was sung with a vim by the
little girls; "Bonny Blue Flag"
recalled many events of the past
to the older ones present, while
"My Old Kentucky Home" by the
male quartette found a responsive
cord in every heart. The address
by Mr.. Frost contained many his
torical facts and revealed the true
life and character of the President
of the Confederacy. It was just
such an address as will appeal to
all who best understood the noble
nature of Jefferson Davis, and it
has stood the test of public approx
al wherever Mr.. Frost has appear
ed in the South and West.
