Death of Mrs. Mckinney.


Mrs. Mary Lewis Stubbs, wife of G.
R. Mckinney, died at her home on Main
street in this city Monday morning, July
les, at 5. 10 a. m. Mrs. Mckinney had
been i'll for several months. She was
taken to Nashville for surgical and hos
pital treatment, returning home a little
later some months ago. The skill Of
|medical attention and the faithful, de-
voted care OF those who watched SO
patiently at her bedside failed to re-
store her health.
Mrs. Mckinney was born in Baldwin,
Miss, in 1860, and was married to R.
E. Mckinney at Purdy, Tenn, in Feb
ruary, 1881. Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinney
resided at Purdy, then at Henderson,
afterwards at Jackson, returning again
to Henderson, and located in Union
City four years ago. Two daughters
and little son constitute the immedi-
ate family. Mrs. Vera, wife Of James
Ownby, Miss Jennie May and little
Robert, Jr
Mrs. Mckinney was the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. B. Stubs, of Bald
wyn. Twelve years ago her parents
paid Mrs. Mckinney a visit at Hender-
son, and during that visit they were
overtaken with illness which resulted in
death, and the remains lay buried at
Henderson.
Mrs Mckinney was a sister of I. F. |
Stubs, of the Hardy Grain Co., this |
city. A sister, Miss Sallie Stubbs, re-
sided with Mrs. Mckinney at her home
also in Union City
:. Mrs. Mckinney was member OF the
First Christian Church of this city and
had been protested Christian since girl
hood. She was reared under the sun
shine, the beauty and chivalry of the Old
South, and inherited its traditions. Her
home was Southern in its type and hos
pitality. Goodness of heart, beauty of
character and charm of intellect-with
Ill these she had been literally endowed.
Life had blessed Mrs Mckinney and
yraced her home with choicest blessings.
It was. indeed bereavementto the de-
yoted ones whose loss is irreparable. 1t
5 said that among those who watched
It the bedside her daughter, Miss Jen-
lie May, was constant, patient, devoted
md faithful day and night all through
he continued illness and suffering. 1t
vas a remarkable example of devotion.
Services were held at the residence on ,
Cast Main street Tuesday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. Castleberry. The ,
address, was delivered with much feel
ng, and among the closing remarks
we're the lines
Life we have been long together,
Through pleasant and through cloudy weather
IT'S hard to part when friends are dear; .
Perhaps twill cause sigh, tear.
Then steal away, give little warming: +
Say not goodnight, but in some brighter cline
Bid me. good morning I
The large concourse Of friends escort t
d the remains to East View, and the
nterment took place with generous
ribute of flowers.

ACCUSED DISMISSED.

The case OF the young man EN-
Moved as a public school tescher who
was charged with ssssulting pupil last
Tuesday afternoon came up 10 the Police
Oourt this morning. The defendant was
represented by Mr.. Gardner l.. Boothe
aud the plaintiff by MIR. Robinson MOD
cure.
The complainant stalled that Inc
teacher ordered him to pick up some
psper which was under bis desk and
that he refused to do 80, lDasmuch IS be
bad not placed it there; also that the
teacher had previously directed another
boy to remove the paper aud that he hso
refused to obey the order. The boy
ayerred that the teacher bad slapped
him on the face and head, suPertnduc'
log the esrsche and headache.
The father of the boy stated that ne
was compelled to purchase remedies Tor
these disorders on the pight following
the evening of the assault.
Several pupils who witnessed the pun.
ishmeut we're put on the stand, some OF
whom thought that the teacher slapped
aud tusseled with the boy for fifteen
minutes. One Of the youngsters testl'
fied tbs. the complainant kicked some
of the paper under the desk and
"oudeed" him to keep quiet.
A lady who WAS in the room at the
time and who witnessed the STAIR did
not regard The punishment the boy re-
Ceived as sDythiUg out OF the ordinary.
The teacher 6ually took the stand and
in bis statement said be slapped the boy
a number of times.
He st fret in the form Of request
asked the complainant to pick up the
paper. He was met with refusal, and
when be commanded the youth to obey
him the boy was defiant and forced the
teacher to resort to corporal punishment
The teacher also stated that a boy he
had previously directed to pick up the
Dsper when told to do 80 and who did
not heed the request, was on his way out
of the room at the Il nae, but that be bad
been punished for neglecting to obey the
order.
Justice Cation 10 summing up the case
said there was no evidence to sustain the
charge Of assault, and exouersted the
accused. The justice also called atten-
ton to the fact that teacher Ia 10 the
place Of parent when in charge oil
school aud has the right to resort to socu
punishment 80 would be Used by father
Ia case a child is refractory. In th'
case before the court 8 pupil refused 'C
accsde 10 a request from his teacher anc
eventually de6ed bis command. Besides
the Justice said, scholars should bear II
mind that they are being educated 10
costly public school system and every
thing reasonable is being done 10 tn
interest and comfort Of the scholars
The latter therefore should vie will
those having the system 10 charge an
