Watch Repairing.

More good watches are ruined
inthc hands OF inexperienced work
men than in anv other way. A
watch is too costly an article to
entrust TO any one who may
claim the title OF Matchmaker.
During my MANY years OF bust
ness have always given the clio"
sest attention to the careful re.
pairing and adjusting of watches
brought to me and have bought
none other than the best mater
ial. My charges are never exces'
sive; only enough to cover the
cost OF the work; neither do un-
necessary work nor charge for

The Nashville American, which

ition OF the highwayman in jour
nalisn, has at last been tanned,

Tennessean has rough t the

been calling loudly Ior peace. But
there will be no peace until Car
mack's murder is avenged and
those back OF The Coopers have
been uncovered. Naturally the
American would like to change
the subject, like tie negro who
was caught stealing chickens,
but The Tennessean does not

the Tennessean; it deserves the

OBITUARY.

On the 10th inst, at i, p. m,
the people OF Riddles Fork OF
Meat Camp we're sadly and terri.
bly, shocked as the sad news
went out from the home OF Rev.
l.. D. Cole that his 13-year old
daughter was dead.
Little Bessie May Cole was a
bright, Christian girl; q member
of the NJ. f. Church South at
Hopewell' a faithful member of
the Sunday School, and dearly
beloved by all who knew her, be-
cause she was sogood and sweet
spirited and kind to all people,
and during the few days she was
suffering the pains ofdeath there
was never a shadow or a doubt
in her mind. She said, "Do not
weep for me, for / will fall into
the arms of my dear Jesus. He
will take care OF me for He has
been with me for q long time.
She said, 81 have such a good

could hardly keep from shout

youngest brothers and talked to
them, asking them to be good
boys and meet her in heaven.

Love and OLD Age

We forget that the inward era.
wing OF old age conceives of NO
analogies and knows no reason
why the old-time cares and fond
ling should be things ofthe past.
1t transmutes everything into
neglect. Age softens the heart,
and the soul pines for the touch
OF the hand that would stroke
the golden locks of a prattling
child. Let's love them more than
by mere sentiment! What would
we do without those saints? A
mid these reveries we recall t h g
lines OF Elizabeth Gould.
"Put your arms around me-
There, like that,
| want a little petting
At life's Sci ting,
For It's harder to be brave
When feeble age comes creeping
And finds me weeping
Dear ones gone.
Just little petting
At liie's setting:
For I'm old, alone and tired
And my long lies works done"
