OBITUARY.

The funeral of Mrs. Georgia North
cut was held at the Baptist Church
Sunday by Rev. Mark Young. Mrs.
Northcut departed this life Oct. 9,
1911. She was born Nov %, 1876,
and soon would have been 35 years
old, Just in the prime of life. She
was a good christian and member
of the Baptist Church of Whitwell.
She had been a member for about II
years. She was a good woman. loved
by all who knew her. She leaves a
husband, three children. mother, two
brothers and three sisters to mourn
her loss, and host of friends. Her
father had only been gone on short
time before. On Feb. 18th. we laid
our dear father to rest and now our
dear sister is gone. We know that
they can't come back, to us, but we
can go to them where we shall never
part. Oh, how sad it is to part from
our loved ones, but we can only say,
Goods will be done, not ours. We
can only live faithful and meet our
dear ones. Georgia, we loved you,
but God loved you best and called you
home to rest A precious one from
us is gone, voice we loved is still, a
place is vacant in oul home which
never can be filled. We can only say
to the unsaved brothers and sisters of
the dear sister to get ready to meet
her. Oh, she will be over there,
watching and waiting for us all. l
| am going to meet her by the help of
God Oh, that will be a glad meeting
when we meet our loved ones never
to part, where there will be no more
wish that sister could have stayed
with us, but God knew best. The
time had come when she must fill her
place up yonder, SO let's all get ready
to meet her, for we know that the
time is coming when we will hear
that blessed call. "Come up higher. -
Oh, are we going to be ready to meet
our blessed Saviour when he comes, for
we all know that we are going to be
called before just God, prepared or
unprepared. So let us all get ready,
for there are not many of us but what
have loved ones that have gone on be-
fore. This world is only dressing
room to get ready to live forever. l
think sometimes that our near and
dear ones are called away to draw us
closer to God, but many of us don't
look at it that way. So, husband,
mother. brothers and sisters, let's all
live true to God and meet Georgia in
a better world, where there will be no
more pain, sorrow nor death, for our
dear ones can't come to us, but we
can go to them. Oh, how sad it
makes us to see that vacant place
which we know never will be filled
by her any more. We can only say,
Farewell, Georgia. for little while,
we, by the help of God will meet you
over there. She was laid to rest at
the Walker cemetery by her dear old
father to await the resurrection
morn.
ONE WHO LOVED HER.

STATE HIGHWAY
ASSOCIATION

The effort to improve the High
ways of Tennessee is still being Wig
Olously pushed. A short while ago
the News printed communication
from Geo. A. Gowan, President of the
Memphis to Bristol Highway Associa-
ton regarding the selection of Nov.
9Th as a date for the people to meet at
tue county seats of the various couu-
ties and do some real live work in the
interest of highways by appointing
delegates to the convention of Nov.
14th at Nashville to organize Ten
nessee Association for Highway I'm
provement. In letter this week to
the News Mr.. Gowan again calls at
tention to the matter, as follows:
"You will remember sent you a
communication addressed "To the
Press calling a delegated convention
to meet in Nashville, Tenn, at the
State Capitol, Senate Chamber, on
Nov. 14th, 1911, 70 o'clock noon, for
the purpose of organizing the Tennes-
see Association for Highway Improve
ment, and suggested that the citizens
of each county meet at the Court
House in their county at noon on first
Monday, the sixth of Nov, 1911, to
select delegates on the basis of one for
each two thousand population of the
county or the majority fraction there
of. Census of 1910.
81 have given to the daily paper of
the State what the population of each
county was in 1910 and named the
lumber of delegates that each county
is entitled to. presume you have
noticed this and filed copy for refer
ence.
~ am writing again to thank you
for such interest as you may have al
ready taken in this movement, one
that means SO much to our citizens,
and to ask you to again call attention
to the meeting on first Monday and if
convenient to write an editorial on the
subject. l will write you again next
week giving you the arrangements
that l am perfecting with the rail
roads as to rates, etc.
"Please extend such help as you
can. The writer has given a lot of
his time and some money to this move
ment. I want to perfect splendid
organization for :the whole State and
then retire to the ranks"
Monday is the day set for the con-
vention in this county, and it will be
interesting to see if there is enough
interest in the matter to cause gen
eral turnout The matter of roads is
of such prime Importance that all
citizens should attend, in fact, make
it point of business to be there.

WHITWELL DEPARTMENT
lite ms for this Department. are So
licited by the Editor

G. H. Rutiedge. of Bridgeport, Ala.'
was here Tuesday of last week.
Miss Rena Haley returned last week
from Dunlap, where she had been the
guest of Miss Esther Smith.
Our friend. J. NJ. Price, has accept
ed position in the T. C. l. office as
stenographer He reports lots of extra
work in the office on account of the
two weeks pay.
The following write-up of Whitwell
was contained in the Stateman Demo-
crat of Jasper last week
"The largest mining operations car
ried on in the county is at Whitwell'
where is mined every day from LOU
to 1, 900 tons of coal. This is one OF
the most successful mining towns in
this part of the state, and the manage
ment and method of mining is little
less than perfect. Heads of depart
ments and the miners understand one
another, and there is but little, if any
friction, In the valley just under
these mines is large town filled with
good substantial people. There is one
bank, and many large stores. This
town has several nice church build
ings, and with the bare exception or
the High School building at Jasper, 1t
can boast of the best public school
building in the county. This was made
possible by the efforts of Hon. j. }.
Dykes, and other enterprising citi-
zens, and the liberality of the men in
the mines, the aid of the T. G. l. Co.,
and some county funds. Whitwell is
good town and has many worthy citi-
zens."

Too Much For Her.

Calling one day to see an old friend
who was visiting her married son, ]
inquired of the colored maid who an
swered the bell: sis Mrs. Smith at

"Yas'm she home" the girl replied,
showing no inclination to invite me
in. "She here all right, but she got a
misery in de haid."
"Mrs. Smith senior?" / asked with
concern.
"Seen me'" she exclaimed, suspic-
iously. "Corse she seen me. Hue

HIGH PRICES ON COFFEE AND
SUGAR.

Do you know the reason why you
are paying more for your coffee and
get considerably less sugar to sweeten
it with We suppose you don't, al
though you are painfully aware that
your pocket book is not standing the
strain very well. About two years
ago some South American States
wanted some loans of money with
which to build war vessels, and to get
this money pledged millions of bags of
coffee to financiers, who now that they
have got the coffee in their hands, and
the bonds in their vaults, are going to
squeeze the world as it was never
squeezed before. They have even
made it part of the agreement that
coffee trees shall not be planted, and
whole tracts of trees destroyed so as to
keep the amount of production away
under the demands of the markets, and
get the biggest price obtainable In
other words, to completely skin their
fellow men.
AS to sugar, the scheme is not SO
colossal. A drouth in Europe cut short
the sugar beet crop, of which vast
amounts are raised. Spectators took
advantage of this and bought all the
raw sugar they could get, stored it
and now turn it loose as they please.
There is enough sugar stored in New
York City today to turn the stomachs
of several nations sick, but ii won't
see daylight if the spectators don t
get what they want for it.
The result is that people are econ
omizing on these articles and there
won't be near SO much consumed.
After you get used to doing without
an article it is not greatly missed.
Good cold water is great deal health
Ter than coffee, don't injule the teeth,
and requires no sweetening.

the excess of diversion in the lives of

upon them the miseries of neurasthen-
