ted with the church and asked that
the congregation to rise and sing God
Be With You Till We Meet Again
This was done and a prayer by the
Rev. DR.. Eakins followed.

GAR TO VISIT
ITALY's KING
RUSSIAN MONARCH DECLINED TO
PAY A CALL ON SULTAN
OF TURKEY

ROME, Oct lit is expected that
Emperor Nicholas, of Russia, will visit
king Victor Emannual within a week.
The strictest secrecy is being main
tanned as to where the meeting will
take place, but it probably will be at
Racconigi, the summer castle in Pied
mont where the italian sovereigns
this year have made prolonged stay.
According to some persons it will oc-
cur at Bari, on the Adriatic, North
west of Brindisi, which is rich in Rus
sian memories. The Empress Alex
adra, who is still i'll, will not accom-
pany her husband.
Emperor Nicholas abandoned the
idea Of a voyage to Italy by sea be-
cause Turkey granted permission for
his ship to pass through the Darda-
males only on condition that he visit
the Sultan. The Emperor took the
ground that under the rules of pre-
cedence, the Sultan, having assembled
The throne at a later date than him

taken from the Cumberland River at

Hardly was he seated before the body

the water near the boat.
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitaker, who were
formerly citizens of the Seventh Civil
District of this, Jackson County, but
who had removed to Cookeville some
two weeks ago, made a visit to the
old home place in what is known as
Whites Bend of the Cumberland Riv-
err. Thursday morning Mrs Whitaker
started off toward the river, remark
ing to the family that she would re-
turn in a few minutes She did not
return. ohwever, and her long alb
sence became alarming. Sarch was
instituted and after the finding of the I
cleak in the skiff, the river was drag
ged. but without result, until, finally,
he corpse suddenly appeared.
