Chattanooga For some reason, We
failed to understand just why, he re-
quested to be buried at Chattanooga
cemetery instead of being inferred at
his own home cemetery by his former
wife, and it seems to puzzle his own
!, children, but however we may never
know, but little difference does 1t
make He was a noble, good man,
and leaves several children to mourn
his loss. Those that survive him are
DIR. Byron Deakins, of Chattanooga,
Lucius Deakins. Of Texas, Mrs. Price,
of Texas, Mrs John Hall, Mrs. j. E.
league, Mrs E. H. Barker and Har-
ris Deakins of this place. Mr.. Deakins
ordered his own funeral outfit before
his death, and the coffin was stored
away at J. j. Dykes at Whitwell,
awaiting his demise, and was prompt
ly delivered by Dide Hudson, Dykes
drummer as per order by the deceased.
The whole upper end of Marion County
join in and extend to the bereaveu
children their heartfelt sympathy, and
if we all live and manage business
affairs through life, and work and
strive as hard as he did, to accumu
late and save what we make as the de-
ceased did, we will never see cause to
die in county poor house, for be
would go through the rain and cold
and work as hard right up to the time
he couldn't go any more as though he
didn't own a dollar. He leaves
good example for the rising genera
tion to look to as man that had made
success in life He willed each
child 81 900 each, all but one. ! fail

ed one girl, only $t00. He will have
about 81, 900 in cash and notes that
will be placed in Jasper Bank for his
wife to get the interest what time she
lives, which none of his heirs get I'M
til the death of his widow. She has
reported to me $3, 200 of her own mon

pauper by any means.
There was some little disturbance
and dissatisfaction yesterday over the
will of the late Jesse B. Pickett heirs.
failed to get the particulars as to
what was wrong. An ejectment suit
was in vogue instituted by some of the
heirs to get possession of the property
willed to them by deceased. Lawsuits
naturally are hot things between lit
giants, anyway, but tell you right |
here, one and all. this as far as heat
is concerned, far surpasses any lawsuit |
ever did engage in. and if the tenn
perature doesn't change in a few days,
I am compelled to close my part of all |
connection with any and all litigations
until cool weather.
DR.. N. B. Moore's Office looks like |
a kings palace, if he will hang up
hammock around that office. have |
been studying about laying up with
him these hot sweltering days, if be
will fix things up to my notion so |
can rest and look into the history of
politics. AS you know there is anoth-
er campaign very close on, and some
one has to take the responsibility on
to conduct it, and why not
me for one? So don't fail to fix things
up little in due time, for ] am look
ing to enjoy quite lot of fun bye and
bye.
The whiskey dealers got knot jerk
ed in their tail in Marion County last
grand jury for dealing in and selling
that hellish stuff. Say, what about
man preaching temperance and prohi
bition all over the country, and that
some party is now selling and wild
eating whiskeyY Guess who. be-
ieve such character as that is almost
rs bad as an infidel, if not worse, but
me thing about him l do know, he
s wolf in sleeps clothing, and good
or nothing, and bye and bye will get
10 low down that l very believe the
common dogs of the country would alb.
olutely refuse to lick his nasty feet in
passing by. It's good thing to be a
but devilish bad
hing to be Jonah. l don't pitch
his paragraph at any particular invid-

he shoe pinches your foot you will i,
ure as l am writing have to wear it.
