Death Of Mrs. d. +. Reynolds.

Mrs. Adell Reynolds, wife Of Clarenc'
+. Reynolds, died Sunday morning d
the summer home Of Mrs. ]. @. Rey
Inolds at Weayeryille, N. q, after an III
ness covering q period Of q year q
more.
Deceased was the daughter Of VIM.
Epperson, formerly well known citizen
Of this city. AT the time Of death hei
age was 80 years 8 months and 20 days.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. /. Reynolds had been
married about ten years and two chill
dren, Charley Hill and Margaret, sur
viye the loss of mother.
Mrs. Reynolds was an invalid for
some time. Early in May she went
with Mrs. j. c. Reynolds, her mother
in-law, and her husband to Weaverville,
where the summer home of the family is
located.
1t was known for some time that
death was to be soon, but the summons
was waited with patient cheerfulness,
and the end came with an abiding trust
in Him who holds our destiny.
The remains were shipped to Union
City and reached here at noon Tuesday.
They were taken to the Palace Hotel
where the friends were assembled, and
at 8 o'clock in the afternoon conveyed
to the First Christian Church. Services
were conducted by the pastor, Rev. J. J.
Castleberry, after which interment took
place at Eastview. The pail bearers
were Chas. Miles, Morris Miles, Luther
Cherry, Dan Glenn, Otis Freeman,
Henry Head.
Mrs. Reynolds was member of the
First Christian Church, and there the
asst devoted tribute was lovingly paid
~ those who knew her. Death claims
! fond mother and husband, noble,
character. Her home was
blessed by her devotions and care, and
memory dear descends to the husband
nd the little ones.

Jubilee Temperance Service.

Last Sunday night monster mas
meeting representing all the loca
churches and those Of no church as
sembled at the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church in grand jubilee temperance
service, celebrating the passing Of The
open saloon from the great State Of
Tennessee. 1t was an occasion for
which many have longed and prayed
during life time and certainly it will
not soon be forgotten by the large
audience assembled Appropriate and
soul stirring songs were sung and every
one seemed to feel the thrill of the
hour.
1t was wholly service for laymen,
the ministers only conducting the de-
votional part of the service. Rev. J..
L. Hudgins presided, Rev. w, G. Sell
lers read the scriptures, Rev. ]. J.
Castleberry offered the prayer and Rev.
E. L. Watson dismissed the audience.
The first speaker was Hon. ]. l..
Fry. He was at his best as he eloquently
told of the gradual passing of the liquor
traffic and in an imprisoned speech he
predicted that it would never return nor
blacken the fair face of Tennessee again.
He argued that there was nothing but
death and ruin in the liquor evi L for
our homes, our boys, our land = and
that it therefore has no place among
civilized people. Mr. Fry was followed
by w. G. Reynolds, who is one of our
strongest and most promising advocates
of temperance reform. He spoke ear
nestly on the subject saying that from
a child he had been in favor of remov-
ing the saloon just as far as possible.
He said that he thanked God that the
time had come when good people would
speak out on this subject and that he
hoped never to see the day when the
who are looked upon as our
moral leaders and examples, would
wear paddock upon their mouths in
regard to this greatest of all curses that
blight our land His speech made a
good impression upon all present.
Representing the w. c. 7. u, Mrs.
w. L. White then made short but
beautiful address. She told of the
tremendous organization of the temper
ance women, and, of course, expressed
ner great Joy at the passing saloon. Next

manner rehearsed the story of his con- /

OF the State. He counted his work in
this cause as the greatest achievement
Of his life. Everybody was intensity
interested in his speech and felt pro
foundly glad that we had such man as
Senator McRee to represent US in this
gigantic fight,
Judge w. H. Swiggart then came
forward and, on behalf Of the w. G. I.
u. and many other friends and neigh
bors, presented to Senator McRee a
beautiful gold watch. Judge Swiggart
spoke for at least quarter of an hour,
expressing in strong language his APP
proval of the temperance legislation.
He said there was not only no excuse
for the saloon, but it was shame and
disgrace that it had not been driven
from Tennessee years ago. He spoke
enthusiastically of Senator McRee and said
that he knew personally that special
and strong efforts were made to induce
Senator McRee to betray the temper
ance cause and that he had only to
signify his willingness in order to be-
come rich man. Judge Swiggart was
listened to eagerly and his speech made

DR.. McRee responded with a felicitous
and appropriate speech. His heart
,welled with emotion as he accepted the
present and he spoke Of it as the hap
oiest hour of his life.

or years to come in the minds of those
Who were fortunate enough to be
present.

DOING JUDGES.

a I the recent meeting Of the American Bar
n Association, Justice William l.. Carpenter
of the Michigan Supreme Court, referred with
envy TO the Judge who finds it easy to sleep dur
ing court while long arguments are being heard.
Sometimes the arguments of the attorneys are
mere aggregations of words emanating from the
mouth OF a lawyer who is determined to use
every minute OF the time given him by the rules
of the court The judge who can sleep in the
day time is to be envied in such case" says
Justice Carpenter. "He can escape what his
wakeful and more unfortunate associates must
endure. 1t is unnecessary to state that judge
is not attentive to such argument. II you
think he is, you deceived.
The Justice however admits that more or less
danger turks in the habit of inattention on the
part Of the court, and the judges may be 50 in
attentive and sleep much that they would
be likely to miss some of the important points
No doubt some of the judges have great
strain put upon them in trying TO keep awake
when the lawyers are discussing dry legal
points but it should not follow that the habit
Of Judges doing on the bench should be
oouraged. Many man in the course of busi-
ness has to listen to almost much talk as
Judge does and talk that may be just as unin-
teresting as the arguments of the lawyers. Ii
the advice Of Justice Carpenter were to be car
ried out additional court offcers-beadles-
would have to be secured to stand near the bench
and tap the sleeping judges at intervals For if
one Judge sleeps. others might do likewise. It
would be very disccuraging to a young lawyer
seeking to win his legal spurs to be confronted
by bench Of doing judges.
But after ALL il depends upon the human
interest" in the court proceedings No one for
instance, would imagine any person sleeping in
Judge Cochrans court.
