In Memoriam.

An II Olu HAS PAS
sed over the river to rest under
the shade of the trees
Burrell Alexander McGaughey
was born the first day Of August,
1888; son of David R. and Eliza
beth McGaughey. of Tennessee.
] His father was a good, old fash
ion Primitive Baptist, who put
honesty and integrity above all
worldly goods or honors.
The subject Of this sketch was
married to Elizabeth Harris on
July &c, 1868, and there was
born to them three sons and one
daughter; one son, David, the
daughter and sorrowing wife
survive him.
He died, after a lingering i'll
ness. at his home near Shannon,
Miss, Feb. %, 1911, in his 18th
year. He had spent his life in
the community in which he died,
respected and loved by all who
knew him.
He joined company |, 154th
Regiment, Tennessee Infantry,
in April, 1861, and was p~arolled
at High Point, N. c., April 26,
1865.
b He and. the writer of this
sketch were the only members
of the company present at john
sons surrender. He had given
four years of continuous service
to his country. He was severely
wounded in the thigh at Bel
mont, Mo-, our first battle, and
was the first man wounded in
the company, if not in the regi-
ment. This wound troubled him
until his death. Returning, after
recovering, to his command he
underwent the hardships and
dangers of the war uncomplain-
ingly to the end. Though an
entire stranger to the company
when he joined us, he soon won
the confidence and esteem of
both officers and men by upright
department and kindly dispo-
sition. He was always at his
post of duty and ready to obey
orders.
He followed the fortunes of
the army of Tennessee under
Bragg, Johnson and Hood at Bel
mont. Mo-, Shilo, Richmond, KY,
sPerryville, KY, Murfeesboro.
SChickamauga, Missionary Ridge,
the Georgia campaign from Dali
ton to Atlanta. Then to Frank
lin and Nashville, back to Cor
sinfh, winding up with Benton
nile, N. c., and the surrender.
Returning home after the sur
render he again engaged in
farming, which was his life
work,
4 A good and true man has gone
30 his reward. Not rich in this
worlds goods, but by far richer
in the things that go to make
a true, honest and upright man
and soldier. He was true to
his country, true to his friends
and true to his family. A rich
inheritance he has left in his
name tohis sorrowing family
and friends.
His friend and comrade in
arms,
Richard Wharton.

COUNCIL REDUCES
LEV|[S FOR PAVING
LOWERS ASSESSMENTS AGAINST
SECOND WARD CORNER
PROPERTIES $553.
NOT LIKELY TO SETTLE
WITH EAST MAIN OWNERS
Council Not Willing to Make Redue-
ton Asked by Attorney-Will Let
Court Decide What Owners Should
Pay-No Uniform Method Used in
Reducing Other Assessments.

Reductions totaling $500, were
made in the proposed levy for paving
against six Second ward properties by
the council at its meeting Wednesday
afternoon. Five OF the six properties are
corner lots. The assessments that had all
ready been proposed We're reduced by
hope that an equitable settlement Will
be made with these property owners.
All but one Of them had filed objec-
tons to the first proposed assessment.
Attorneys representing three of these
property owners were notified this
morning of the proposed reductions.
While they did not accept the offer i'm
nediateiy, they did not refuse it, which
leads the council to believe that the
offer will be accepted. There is little
chance OF a settlement with the East
Main street property owners outside
the court.
No Uniform Basis Used.
No uniform basis used in max
ing the reductions of the assessments
gainst the Second ward properties. In
three instances the assessment was cut
about 80 per cent. In one case it was
30 per cent. in another almost 40 per
cent, and in a third about Is per cent.
In two cases the councils valuation
of the property was reduced, and the
proposed assessment lesSened proper
tionately. The following is schedule
of the properties, the first and the new

of the reduction:

Anna Wheeler :. 423.7S 2S2.54 141.24
In the case of each of the corner
properties the reduction was made In
the assessment levied for paving on the
long side of the lot. In cases where
paving was put down on the short side
of the lots those assessments were not
changed. The schedule above is for
the total amount against the property.
Reduces Appraised Value.
In the case of G. w. Everist. who
owns a lot at the corner of Park and
Fifth streets the council decided that
it's valuation of the lot. which was
placed at $1,000, was too high. This
was reduced to $500. and the levy
against it was reduced so as to not
be more than % per cent of the value.
The appraised value of an inside lot
owned by Ross Hubbard near the end
of the North Fifth street paving, was
reduced to $500. This lot slopes steep
ly down hill and it was the councils
intention to reduce the assessment.
against it below the cost Of paving
when the first assessment was made,
but Il was overlooked.
Other Reductions.
The assessment against the a. z.
Cooper property. corner of Park and
Fifth streets. was lowered from $3S5.G6
to S26S.65. The assessment for the
Fifth street side was reduced in this
case and The council! considered in do
ing so that the owner had already paid
for curb and gutter which was already
down when the paving was laid.
Fifty dollars was cut from the as
sessment against the H. r. Mcmahon
property. the appraised value of the
north ten feet being reduced from ST.
600 to $500. The assessment against the
Shove property. corner Of Jerome and
Fourth street, was reduced third
from s45S.93 to s305.95. and the assess
nlent against the Wheeler property on
the opposite corner was cut from
s423.7S to s2S2.54, also about one-third.
Both of these properties had previously
been paved on the short side. In the
cases of the E,verist and McManon
properties the entire cost of the paving
had not been assessed against the
properties when the first assessment
was made
The council ~ planning to pass a
formal resolution at the meeting Mon
day fixing these assessments at the
amounts given.

council will settle with the East Main
street property owners out OF court.
Altho no definite offer has been made
by the council to the attorney repre-
senting these property owners, the
council is willing to make some conces-
sion. The council has been informed
by this lawyer that these property
owners will not pay more than 20 to
25 per cent of the cost Of the paving.
and the council will not settle on this
basis 1t prefers to let the court deter
mine what the property owner and the
city should pay.
