MEMORIAL DAY.
Every Family in Columbia Repre-.
scented at the Cemetery Mon.
day Afternoon.
EXCELLENT TOUCHING MUSIC.

Several years ago a cemetery com.
nittee was appointed for the purpose
of keeping clean the city of the dead
and to arrange for the annual decora-
ton services on the Both day of May,
and in accordance with said arrange
ment perhaps two hundred people gath
cred IN the cemetery Monday Afternoon
and placed beautiful flowers and ever
greens upon the graves of departed
loved ones. We feel safe in saying that
nearly every family in Columbia was
represented by one or more member.
1t is touching and beautiful sight to
visit a cemetery on memorial day, but
nothing more fitting and more common
dable than to thus honor those we loved
IN life. After the graves had been
decorated, the assembly got together
and listened to appropriate music and a
feeling prayer by Ed. z. T. Williams,
followed by most eloquent, touching
and fitting speech by Mr. Rollin Hurt.
1t could not have been worded better:
could not have been delivered more ten.
derby. At the conclusion of Mr.. Hurt S
grafton, Rev. B. NJ. Currie read we'll
written and very appropriate paper,
touching in language and sentiment. A
song, "God be with you till we meet
again" was then rendered, the 5ene-
diction by Ed. 2. T. Williams following.
As we left the cemetery we could say
that our sacred dead were sleeping I'M
der beds of roses. For the excellent
program rendered on the above occa-
sion, much credit is due Mrs. Georgia
Shelton.

ems, Meets With a Serious Ac.
cident While out Hunting.
ARM AMPUTATED AT THE SHOULDER.

Last Wednesday, while out hunting,
Curt Stephens, young farmer, who
lives near Bliss, met with very Sc
rious accident. In getting over a log
has gun was accidentally discharged the
load lodging in his right arm, fearfully
nangling it. When the accident &C.
CURED he was three-quarters of mile
from his home, but he managed to
reach the dwelling, though suffering in
tensely and bleeding profusely. Physi-
clans were called, who reached his bed
side as quickly as possible, and after
consultation it was decided that ampu-
tation would be necessary IN order to
save the life of the young man. The
patient protested, did not want his arm
cut off, but finally yielded, and with the
assistance of DR.. w. R. Grissom and
DR.. r. Y. Hindman DR.. E. A. Wag-
gener amputated the shattered limb at
the shoulder. AS soon as the wound
was dressed the physicians left for
town, the patient resting comfortably.
Curt Stephens is young man who has
many friends, all of whom feel the
deepest interest in his early recovery.

The House Clemens Built.
CONTINUED

This being our first visit to the Three
Forks when they seemed not to have
heard the war was over in Fentress for
the Hatfield and Pile factions had but a
few days previous engaged in a pitched
battle within less than a mile of this
place and within about the same dis
lance Col. Logsden had murdered the
three Galway girls for which he was
hung at jamestown, Tenn.
Soon after therefore we decided that
it was not a healthy country, although
we were informed there was not a reg
ular practicing physician in the county
at that time. 1t was not a flying visit
we made, as flying was not fashionable
at that time. but would certainly pre-
ferred one of that kind on our return.
One Mrs. Branom occupied the old
Clemens house at that time, but it be-
longed to her brother, John Wright, an
old bachelor who spent most of his time
at jamestown where he sold goods.
After we informed the widow that
we were out in search of health and
perfectly inoffensive, she agreed to en-
terrain us for the night and called her
son, John, to care for our beast. John
came and after viewing our little old
buggy, minus a top, from all sides,
crawling under and giving the running
gear a thorough examination he called,
o Bill! o Bill younger brother. Bill
was soon on the ground and seemed to
be very much taken with the buggy
and remarked, 'John, amt that the
blankedest littlest wagin you ever
seed?" To which John replied, "we'll
run the thing up the boiler tonight and
they'll never see it no more"
We then repaired to the house which
was an old fashioned cabin of roughly
hewn logs with two rooms, one situated
at the bottom and the other at the top
of the ladder. had two small glass
windows and a kind of shed which seem
ed to be of more modern date, which
served as kitchen and DINING room.
Soon after we had reached the house
young couple neatly attired and well
mounted, called for permission to stop
for the night. Our hostess informed
them her house would be crowded that
night, but young lady informed her
that they were weary and had welded
the day before, after which the widow
consented to keep them. They seemed
to be very much interested in each
other, as fresh married folks sometimes
are. He was quite drouthy while she
watered him frequently until we feared
he would become tight on water.
Supper being over we knew the next
would be something else. We could
find but three beds and there were eight
OF US all told to-wit, the two just mar
ried, who were in their teens, John and
Billy, the widow and daughter who
some time previous had reached the age
OF accountability and been casting
Sleeps eyes at Matthew. He couldn't
flyer out how eight of US Gould occupy
three beds without being crowded. John
and Bill soon helped us solve the prob.
lem by ascending the ladder to their
roost in the loft, but we will heed Dean
Swifts advice who wrote
"Give no more to every guest
Than he is able to digest,
Give him Away of the prime
And but little at time"
