Death of G. E. Cobb.

Chas. E. Cobb, one of the older citi-
zens of Union City, died early Wednes-
day morning, July %, at his home on
West Church street, of heart trouble
and hardening of the arteries, aged 70
years.
Mr.. Cobb was a native of Maine and
located in this city soon after the war.
He was married to his first wife in
Maine and to them was born one child
who died in childhood. Mr.. Cobb en-
listed as Confederate soldier and it is
said served through the war as CALAMITY
and bravely as the bravest Southerner.
Evidently he followed the dictates of
his convictions, otherwise he could not
have joined the Confederate service.
Mr.. Cobb was born Oct. 2, 1886. He
was therefore nearly 73 years of age.
About twenty years ago, his first wife
having passed away some years before,
he was married to Miss Dean, sister
OF Thos. Dean, of this city, and to them
were born four children as follows:
Mrs. Harry Lorhe, of Blytheville, Ark,
Lula, Eulalee and John Edwin Cobb,
at home with Mrs. Cobb.
Mr.. Cobb was member of the Metho-
dist Church. For some years he was
engaged in the grocery business and
succeeded, but his attention turned to
real estate, and he accumulated ex-
tensively in city property. Mr.. Cobb
was always busy man, but pleasant in
his business dealings, generous, hon
orable, and citizen who was very
and highly esteemed. His
service in the Confederacy and his
proved him to be man of
good parts, and his departure is greatly
lamented
Services were held at the residence
yesterday morning, conducted by Rev.
Sellers. At the cemetery the Confeder-
ate comrades took charge of the re-
mains and buried them with Confeder-
ate honors. The ritual was delivered
by DR.. F. M. McRee.

NO REASON FOR IT.
When Union City Citizens Show the
Certain Way Out

There can be no just reason why any
reader of this will continue to suffer the
tortues of an aching back, the annoy
ance of urinary disorders, the dangers of
diabetes or any kidney ills when relief

proof given that they can be cured.
Read what Union City citizen says:
H. I. Dunn, veteran, living on East
Matthews street, Union City, Tenn,
says: My wife was subject to head
aches, pains through her limbs and
back, and a weakness of the kidneys,
which was very annoying, At times it
was hard for her to stoop, lift or rest
comfortably. On using Doan's Kidney
Pills she was cured of the disease. 1

A Rivers Tragedy.
JOE owNBy cRADDocK.

JCtI CN-'Df NfNfND%'SNAN'
Down by the flowing river,
There on the sands one night,
Where the waters cleaned
Under the moons soft light,
A sigh from woman's bosom
Betrayed her presence there,
With the night dew Of Heaven
Kissing her waving hair.
Forever the burden of pain so keen
Destroys all hope, it seems.
There's naught but the river with its
silver sheen
The thought, Father, one thought be-
tween,
That offers rest to aybroken life,
The rest | crave after the touch
OF welded parted now
Divorced by only man.
And from her pretty hand
Slipped circle of gold
And fell on the soft wet sand.
Always she cried in the dusky gloom
With no thought OF sunny noon.
One step nearer toward the misty stream
That onward swept while she in dream
Wept and saw the shadow between.
Der the beautiful hills and giant trees
The King of Day with his goblet of gold
Pierced the wells of dawn and smiled,
In his beautiful way on the flowing river,
And briar roses that bloomed in masses
And lined the stream that rushed with
swish,
With its burden of death--a woman
fair
With thorn in her chestnut hair.

Death loves a shining mark, they say,
And one we loved has passed away
To join the happy angel band.
The smiling face we loved 50 we'll.
The voice that echoed in the dell,
The friend that we used to greet,
Has gone and leaves vacant seat.
On SUBMITS of the other shore,
Beside the bright and golden door,
The angel guides in robes of white
Lead our dear brother through the night
The heart that ever seemed so free,
The form that all we're glad to see,
The smile that always was so sweet,
Has gone and there's vacant seat
FAREWELL dear one, fare thee well!
And where the happy angels dwell
| know you have found quiet rest,
A home where all the pure is blest.
