EXCURSION RATES.
Greatest Public Event Since Ten
nessee's Centennial.

While, from the very first mention Of
Regular Army Tournament in Nash
vile this coming June, it has promised
to be an immense affair, since the rail-
roads have joined the big movement
with their fullest approval and greatest
enthusiasm, brought to the practical
point of reducing rates for the occa-
sion, the tournament now looms up as
the States greatest event, without pos
sible equal Of any kind in our history.
Meeting the enormous and wide
spread demand for special" rate to
this tournament, the railroads have is
sued orders for round-trip tickets to be
sold for the price of one way fares, plus
25 cents. This means practically half
fare in every instance, and the word is
being passed to every village and ham
let in the entire southeast.
This once-in-a-life-time event, as
planned and conducted by our Nations
army troops, on more extensive scale
than the combined forces OF all the big
circuses ever known, will attract the
country's populace in greater threngs
than have ever assembled on any pub
lie occasion in the past. Only three
other cities in the United States have
had military tournament, and il isn't
likely that Nashville, or even any other
city in Tennessee, will ever again be the
scene Of our Nations regular army
troops in such spectacular maneuvers.
Over 1000 government trained men, Of
which nearly one-half are of the mount
ed branches OF the army service, in ex-
hibition drill and performances for eight
days, is sight with which even all the
famed world-trayelers are not familiar,

Robert Talton Renfro.

Robert I. Renfro was born near Full
ton, Kentucky, on the thirtieth day O
May, 1870, and died on the twenty
fifth day Of April, 1910. Aged thirty
nine years, ten months and twenty-five
days.
Some sixteen years ago he was mar
ried to Miss Frances Renfro, and one
child blessed their union, Max, who is
now near fifteen years Of age. Four
teen years ago they came to Troy, Ten
nessee, since which time there has been
no better, more law-abiding citizen here
than Bob Renfro, He leaves wife, a
son, a brother, two sisters and dear
old mother to mourn his untimely
death.
Bob is gone. He can never return to
brighten his home, never return to cheer
and brighten the lives of others by his
pleasing countenance and joking ways.
There was no man in Troy who had
more friends than he, and no man would
do more for a friend than Bob Renfro.
His friendship meant something
Bob was a Mason and Modern
Weodman, and was an enthusiastic
worker in both orders. We, as Ma
sons, will miss his kindly advice and
willing help, and we, as Modern Wood
men, will miss his help in tho work and
instruction.
Funeral services were at the Cumber
land Presbyterian Church and we're
conducted by Elder G. S. Austin assist
ed by 4. P. Pressly, E. B. Graham and
Bob's old friend and neighbor, ]. w.
Joyner, who made some Of the best
talks we have ever listened to, after
which the Masonic fraternity took
charge of the remains and under the
solemn rites of that ancient order Bob
was placed beneath the clods Of the val
10y.
! sat many times at Bob's bedside
with no one else in the room, when he
would arouse and ask me concerning
his work and what | thought Of his con
dition, and when he could be at his
work, and if it was being properly at
tended to, until the last week Of his i'll
ness, when he became despondent and
gave up all hope of recovery.
Life is uncertain, but death-grim
death--is sure to come, and when the
destroyer finally came and poor Bob
was called to his long home we realized
what an uncertain thing life is and how
