FRIDAY, MAY 81, 1912.
OUR CITY MOURNS.

Union has been called upon to
mourn the death of a number of her
best citizens during the past week.
Indeed, the record on our pages this
week is astounding. Our city might
be called "The House of Mourning" ="
On one burial notice sent around
there was three names. There are
many heavy hearts in Union as re-
suit of the departure of these dear
friends and relatives. One of the
hard features of this mortal life is
the fact that one must constantly
seek readjustment in the matter of
personal touch. Our loved ones pass
away. The heart is left desolate. 1t
is necessary that we form new ties,
new associates, and that our sympa-
thieS broaden. In this there is much
good, but it is painful process, nev-
ertheless. Then, too, one feels that
his own end is fastening. These many
deaths have caused the whole COM
munnity to think upon the great mys-
terry. 1t is well that this is so. We
too often forget that we are mortal.
We come to regard the affairs of life
as permanent, whereas they are tran
sient. A few short yea, come and
go, and each one of us will have faced
and experienced the pains of death.
1t is a solemn thought and one that
forces itself upon us. 1t behooves
each one of us to resolve to live we'll
the few brief years. We must put
something into life if we hope to have
anything left after death. All earth
ly goods will be of little value to the
man who has passed out. The empty
honors, the applause of men, must ap-
pear very insignificant to the eyes
that are catching a vision of the
shadows of evening. There is no use
in repining; there is no need of fear;
there is no death to hope. In the
heart of each of us has been plant
ed by the hand of God hope of inn
mortality; to many of us God has
given an assurance of immortality
and to each of us he is willing to
give that assurance. Having caught
vision of a Risen Christ, having
heard the words of hope and life: "I
am the resurrection and the life,"
our fears are banished and the star
of hope wakes brighter and brighter
as the darkness closes in. Philosophy
is good, but it is dead; Science is good
but it is dying; Human life is sweet,
but it is passing. The Christ remains.
His voice speaks when all other
voices cease. His star arises when all
earthly suns are setting.

Tribute to r. w. Tinsley.

Rufus Waring Tinsley came to Un-
ion from his home near White Stone
in January, 1866, and opened up a
jewelers. repair shop. I was living
at Union at the time and we boarded
at the same hotel and we soon became
fast friends. He was of modest sAnd
quiet disposition and soon made many
friends in his adopted town. - SeEAs
following, he was united in marriage
to Miss Sallie Rodgers, considered the
belle of the town. Mr.. Tinsley's bus
mess, by close attention and fair
dealing, increased and he built up a
nice business and succeeded we'll.
have been reliably informed that
he was gentle, kind and agreeable in
his home, and provided we'll for his
family. His wife died several years
since, but he never put on the widow
er's smile or played in the widoWer's
role, but remained as quiet and re-
tiring as he did while his wife was
living.
Mr.. Tinsley was the color bearer
of the South Carolina division of the
United Confederate v eterans. His
beautiful flag was planted in the con-
vention hall and borne aloft by his
commanding and attractive appear
ance at all the reunions from the
trans-Mississippi to Richmond. And
when his flag with the Palmetto tree
in it's centre in the hands of the
bearer floating above all others in
the parade, they brought more cheers
from the crowds that lined the streets
than any other flag in the parade.
Mr.. Tinsley, being endowed with q
mechanical mind, contrived a very
convenient and handy flag staff made
in sections or joints which could be
disjointed and packed in a common
sized hand grip which made it con-
venient to carry on his trips to the
reunions. s.
:. Oh account of ill health he did not
attend the late reunion at Macon,
and when he folded his flag at the
State reunion in Columbia last sum

Mr.. 'Tinsley was a consistent MEM
Der and steward of the Methodist
church, Mason in good standing, and
Confederate veteran, honored by his
comrades all over the South.
He was at his death the oldest
business man in the town Of Union,
as no other busines~ house or firm
that is there now was there at the
time he first set up business in the
town.
But he folded his flag, performed
his last church service, attended his
last communication as q Mason, an-
swered his last roll call at the re-
Mon and rendered his last loving SER
vice to his family, folded his arms in
death and passed over the river to
answer the last roll call up yonders

ONE OF THE CITYs FIRST
CITIZENS PASSES AWAY.
DrnR n CrnnSnaW Edlt0r

UnlOn-ReVleW.
The intelligence that went forth
at an early hour this morning of the
death of DR.. R. F. Boyd, who was
about the city on yesterday in appa-
rently good health pursuing his pro-
fessional duties as usual, and who at
tended until a late hour last evening
a session of the Board of Trade, was
so unexpected as to be almost unbe-
lievable, yet it is true. Every
where, for the news spread rapidly,
people spoke of his death in tone and
manner that indicated their respect
for the deceased, who was in life to
every one who deserved his help and
sympathy, a friend and brother.
DR.. Boyd was prominently man
of the people and this was demon
strated at all times when their in
terests were in the balances. 1t was
at those times that his great heart
would go out to them and he rose
to the level of emergencies and the
fulness of effective action. The part
he has played in the civic betterment
of this city in which he had cast his
life's lot proclaims him a public-spir
tied man and one of its first citizens

poor people, grateful for kfndnesses

never failed to express their apprecia-

while he lived. They filled his life
with sunshine and made him happy.

FRoM Mr.. a. N. JoHNsoN.

Upon arriving in Nashville few
years ago for the purpose of looking
over the field for a place to locate,
it was my good fortune to meet DR..
r. f. Boyd. His sterling qualities,
his frank manner Of expressing him
self, his great business foresight and
his keen insight to affairs that go to
make up the business world, drew me
to him more forcibly than anything
else. Since my residence in Nash
vile, we have been closely associated
in many ways. His death was a
shock TO me, and feel sure that
the entire city, the state and the ma
tion will not soon get over the death
that has so recently removed one OF
Nashyille's most progressive men,"
