Designating Malcom Patterson, gov ernor of Tennessee as the smartest man in that state, Carruthers Ewing, prom inent lawyer of Memphis. now in Blr- mingham engaged in trial in the fed eral court, said yesterday that the po- litical situation in Tennessee was unmis- takably chaotic, and the result doubt full to the best political students of the state.
 He said Governor Patterson by with drawing placed the issue directly up to the independents where they must de- liver to the republicans or break faith.
 ."The withdrawal of Governor Patter- son is one of the smartest things l ever saw in Tennessee politics" said Mr. Ewing. "He is one of the best politicians in the state and I am for him. The conditions in Tennessee are extremely odd. and the result cannot be foretold by IT,. pr. Lorenzo Luckie, Dr. E. F. Hogan, Robert Waldrop, J. J. Boggan George H. Bodeker, w. w. Crawford.

 Under the direction of Funeral Di- rector Lige Loy the procession was formed and proceeded through the
 An of mounted policemen. commanded by Captains Egan and Johnston, led the way, followed by Shows band, knfgh<s of Columbus, the Turn Verein, the Con- cordia society, the Greek Society. the Italian society U. S. P. R., and the carriages containing the close friends who went to the home, the hearse and the family. As 1t passed through the city the city officials in carriages took up the line of march in front of the hearse.
 At the Church
 Arriving at the church the mounted policemen cleared the streets on each side and stood with heads bare as the body passed. The remains were then taken into the church. followed by the widow Mrs. O'Brien, the daugh- ters. Mrs. Oscar Hundley and Sister Patrice of Loretto; the sons-in- law, pr. John D. S. Davis, Thomas B. Smith and Judge Oscar R. Hundley; the brother and sister of Mrs. O'Brien, Dr. Mcbride of Montgomery. and Mrs. Bull ger Ben Theiss, and Miss Annie Theiss and MT. and Mrs. E. G. Chandler.
 With the priest reciting versicles the casket was borne through the crowded aisles and deposited before altar.
 Father Coyle then said a low mass of requiem and immediately after the mass the celebrant exchanged the clasuble worn at the altar for the cope. Then, standing at the foot of the cof- fin. he recited such portions of the burial service as are appointed to be read in the church, first in Latin and then in English, praying mercy Trom the vengeance of judgment, consighing the deceased to the bosom of Abraham, "Eternal rest, grant unto him. O Lord; and let perpetual light shno upon him."
 Father Coyle's Words
 Father Coyle then turned to the peo- ple and said, My dear friends. at the special request of the departed no flu neral oration will be uttered over his remains today. As his life, his words

SAYS GOVERNOR PATTERSON
 IS SMARTEST MAN IN STATE

1 the best judges in the commonwealth. Patterson simply places the situation up | to the independents, and what next will follow is problematical I am sure that the situation has me bewildered as it has thousands of other persons in the state' Mir Ewing said he had no idea what man would be selected to be the candi- date for the democrats.
 Gen. Luke E. Wright, who Is here with Mir Ewing, said in answer to a question as to his candidacy for governor on the democratic ticket that he did not care to discuss the withdrawal of MT. Pat terson nor any suggestion that may be made him to offer for governor. He said at this time he was engaged in the practice of law, which was far re- moved from any probable candidacy for the governorship of Tennessee.
 
 and his works were to all an open book no words of eulogy or praise are need ed. No eulogy, no praise would add one jot or one iota to the glory and the honor these words and deeds of a well spent life have brought to him. will not then praise the departed. To praise him were to gild refined gold, to paint the lily. I will pay him, in stead, the tribute of silence of silence more eloquent than the most eloquent words.
 Let us, however, remember our de- parted friend and brother in our pray CTS to the Most High. Let us pray the Merciful God of all to deal lightly with the frailties and the offences to which he as all men was subject. May the God of Mercy give him eternal light happiness and joy. Eternal rest grant to him, O Lord''
 Near the close of the service the priest recited the beautiful lines, May the angels lead thee into paradise; at thy coming may the martyrs re- ceive thee, and bring thee into the holy city, Jerusalem. May the choir of angels greet thee, and with Lazarus, once a beggar, mayest thou have eternal rest

 The Rev. Father Coyle officiated, wbie the Rev. Father O'Gallagher mad charge of the altar boys. Other priests seated within the sanctuary rail were the Rev. Fathers Coen. Kitrick. McQueelen, Meechen, Stahl and Bellama.
 Stnrt for Cemetery
 As the remains emerged again from the church, the first salute of the artil- lery boomed from the top of Oak Hill and the tolling of the bell began. Sixty six guns were fired. one for each year in the life of the deceased. The battery, under Captain Torrance, timed the sa- lutes to occupy the time during which the procession marched to the cemetery.
 The same order of march was followed to the grave, going down Third avenue tc Eighteenth street Here were the hundreds of floral designs from the Board of Aldermen, the city of Birming ham, the police department, the Elks of both Birmingham and Montgomery, the Montgomery True Blues, other fraterni- ties, and hundreds of private citizens.

with very large attendance last
Sunday evening. The literary pro-

debate, "Resolved, That Ignorance
is the Cause of More Crime than

on both sides, but was unanimously
decided by the judges in favor of
the negative. The new officers
elected to serve for the coming
term were c. Patchin, president;
Dan. Schulz, vice president.
Amanda Sonstegaard was appointed
as new member of the program
committee.
For the benefit of the people liv-
ing far to the south, the minerva"
decided to hold their next meeting
in the schoolhouse in Dist. No. II.
on Tuesday eve. Feb. %. We trust
that our Georgeville people who
have been so faithful in attending
will come out to this this meeting.
