Death Oi MT. Joe Crews.

It is with deep regret that we note the death of Mr Joe Crews, who died at his home three miles northeast of Goodwin on the night of November l3, 1908, at ll:29 o'clock. He came from Tennessee here about eighteen years ago. He united with the Bap- list church when quite young and he certainly held out faithful to the end. We cannot feel right at our Sunday School or prayer meetings without him, for he was one of our leading members His place in the church will be vacant, but he has gone to d fairer world on high to dwell with the Master forevermOre. He leaves wife. two sons and daughter, a mother and several brothers to mourn his death. May God bless them all, and especially his dear wife and heart broken gray-haired mother.
 Children, weep not for this dear one. He is not dead. but stands on wonder shore and beckons for you to come.
 Dear ones, cease to grieve and give your lives to God, and when death comes pass over with father We can not check our tears at the thought of the loss of our loved ones, but though the flowers of life will be far more beautiful after the showers, even as the violet after the raindrops have bathed it's beautiful face.
 The Angel of Death will ever spread his black wings over our homes and hearts, bearing from us our loved ones. Even as we pluck the choicest rose in the garden, so does God. Earth has one angel less and Heaven one more, since Saturday night. Already kneel- ing at the throne he has received his welcome and is resting on the bosom of his Savior

"The Final Settlement" ]"

This startling dramatic novelty will be the attraction al the Becker & Lewis opera house tomorrow night, Saturday, Nov 20, and to all lovers of the drama will undoubtedly prove a dramatic feast The story deals with the early struggles of ayoung foreman in one of the mills of the great iron corporation who subsequent iy becomes its president His suddenly acquired wealth and position and the allure ments of life in the fast social set in which he moves. causes him to re- nounce the wife of his youthful strug- gles and priyations and seek connubial companionship in the person 0f d beautiful actress whom he believed was better qualified for the eXacting demands society would make upon the wife of man of his exalted conner cial position and wealth.
 His subsequent ruin at the hands of his erstwhile fellow conspirators in the iron combine. the loss of bis ae- tress wife when diversity came, and his final rescue from prison and ignO miny by the wife and daughter whom he forSook, form the basis of a story that has few parallels in the dramatic category of our present day problem dramas.

I son Brow B, of Bedford county, is
seeking The nomination for Commits

The incumbent Geo. W. koiner, and
the records OF The TWO men are leglu-

appointed by the Governor OF the state

est devotion 10 the Interests of .he

harmonious co-operalion between all
le agencies in the state that are
working for the Advancement OF agri-
culture.
Mr.. Koiner's official record is also
before the people OF the state. 1t Is a
matter Of common knowledge that
MIR. Koiner has been at loggerheads
with the Board of Agriculture for
wears. The Auditing Committee APP
nointed by the State Legislature to
inspect TN e various state Departments,
gave "Clean Bills of Health" To all
except Commissioner of Agriculture,
Geo. W. koiner. 1t was established
by that report that Mr.. koiner HAD
not obeyed or enforced the law COVER
ing his department; that he rendered
incorrect statements 10 the auditor,
that proper vouchers were not given
for money spent; that his financial re-
ports could not he verified; and that
he had been careless and unbusiness-
like in the conduct of the affairs of his
Office.
il has been openly charged, with
proof TO support il, that Mr.. kolner,
by indirection, attempted 10 control
legislation in his own interests As
co nmissioner, as against the Board OF
Agriculture. Ii has been further
charged with proof TO sustain it, that
Mr. koiner, while he claims IN the
present campaign the credit of the
Fertilizer Bill, in fact had nothing &c
