MAJOR GEORGE D. TAYLOR
Surrenders to the Grim Reaper on
His Weite Horse After a
Long Life.

Maj. George Duflield Taylor died at
his Happy Valley plantation Tuesday
just as the sun was tiptoeing
over the mountain tops to look upon a
spot made famous in song and story by
the late Landen G. Haynes and "Bobn
Taylor, The death of this venerable
soldier and citizen was not unexpected,
as he has been in feeble health for sew
eral months He was rs years of age
and was bachelor. During the war
he served with distinction with such
warriors as VIM. b. Bate and Josiah
Patterson, both of whom have crossed
over the river and are resting under the
shade, He was as brave a soldier as
East Tennessee gave the Confederate
cause and that is honor enough. After
the war he returned to his large estate
in Garter county and lived quiet, and
to all appearances, lonely life, giving
his whole attention to his large agricul-
tural interests. He was kind and
generous neighbor and in every way a
useful citizen. The Taylor home is one
, of the landmarks in this section and
will now pass to his heirs-at-law, the
children of his deceased brothers and
sister, and he made no will. They are
Tip Pepper, who has lived with the
deceased for years; George Pepper and
Afford Taylor, ofKnoXville; Mesdames
G. c. English, J. H. Winston and Tom
Davis, of Bristol The estate consists
of about 1900 acres of the home place,
large boundary of mountain lands,
some real estate in Elizabethton and
one or more small farms.
The funeral service was held at the
residence Wednesday and conducted
by Rev. f. ID. Kershner, of Milligan,
and Rev. l.. w. Pierce, of this city. A
large number of friends were present,
many going from this city, to pay their
respects 10 the dead and help lay the
remains to rest in the family burial
ground.
Thus passes one of the grand old men
of this section, the men who have made
East Tennessee famous in war and in
peace. May his soul rest In peace.

The Appalachian Trade Journal, n

the good roads movement, but urges
that the States convicts be used on
this work so that they may be taken
out of competition with the free miners
operators. This is hardly possible at
this time. The conyicts must compete
with free labor even if they are worked
on the roads-Nashyille American.

 ted aim Of the society is 10 advance public education by the promotion of the cause of equal suffrage" With Mrs. Mackay at the head of the organ lzation are Mrs. Philip Lydig, Mrs. Egg erton Winthrop, Jr.: Mrs. Robert Goe- let and Mrs. Frederick Nathan. An explanatory note bears Mrs. Mackay's signature and is neatly typewriter on delicately tinted mauve paper, with q narrow hand painted border in white. The other exhibits are revealed as choice specimens of the art of the en- graver. Even a return envelope ad- dressed to Mrs. Lydig is engraved, and the same liberality has been shown in the case of the simplest form of appli- cation blanks. Evidently the advocates of woman suffrage fin the society be- lieve in doing business on lavish scale, but it can hardly bc reasoned that the enlisting of an engrayer for ordinary correspondence gives proof of a practical turn for the rough and ready field of politics.

Her Paper a Heavy Burden.

Lady Bathurst now knows the irri- tations attending the ownership of London newspaper ,She enjoys the distinction of being the first woman to own big London daily. and sine is earnest iii the wish that the honor never was thrust upon her. The pa- per has come to her from the estate of her father, Lord Glenesk, and her troubles have been visited upon her by women friends in society. They poster her with requests for favorable paragraphs In the Post, and they ac- cept no explanation when their names do not appear. Many of them have gone to the length of sending personal items on scented note paper to Lady Bathurst, with the gentle intimation that they would adorn the columns of her journal. The situation is funny, yet has sad side. Lady Bathurst. through no fault of her own. finds ene- mics multiplying at an alarming rate. She is threatened with the breaking of many of her social ties, and the prospect is the reverse of pleasing to her. If she were to encourage her friends and acquaintances the Post would be crammed with fattering paragraphs and she would be one of the most popular women in England. It is imperative that she refuse privilege to even one importunate pleader, and as result she runs the risk of society turning cold shoulder.
