MURRAY, KY.

After about three months alb
sence from the dear old county of
Benton, my mind seems to 90 back
70 Benton, for after three years
hbor with the people--labors Of
love, labors of sorrow, labors Of
Joy and perhaps there is no
people on earth that are more dear
to me than the people of Benton
| am very comfortably situated
in Murray, KY, with new parson-
age and plenty of hard work to do,
and one of the most generous and
hospitable people l have ever met.
They have received me most kind
ly. Murray is situated near the
center of that grand old county of
Galloway. We have one of the
( best schools in the State and other
things in accordance. It is in this
county that the famous Fort Hy-
man is to be found, and also the
DEVILS Pulpit is in this county.
When you have climbed to the sum-
NIT of this great hill and look down
over the vast valley of Blood River
and see here and there the stately
homes of sturdy farmers, one is led
to think very highly of God, and
then we say truly our lines have
fallen in pleasant places.
Would be glad to hear from The
Chronicle family often, and above
all don't give up the fight for law
enforcement, for of all the disrep.
utable, dirty, damnable influences
Of today it is found in the lawless
gang that are teaching our boys by
their actions that the law don't
amount to anything. If my boy
steals $40 be is sent to the pen, but
the saloon keeper can steal the
very soul and life of my boys and
yours aud they 60 untouched.
When we think this we are made
to say how long, oh, Lord, how
long?
If I should see this in print /
may write again. Success to The
Chronicle and it's many readers.

Snap Mass Meeting.
Editor THE CHRONICLE:

Editor THE CHRONICLE:
I notice in the Citizen, and also
in the Nashville Banner, that a
large and enthusiastic mass conven-
ton of the citizens of Camden was
held at the court house on We'd
nesday night, March 6, aud the ac-
ton of the present Board of May or
and Aldermen endorsed and NOM
mated for reelection. Who called
this mass convention, and how
many we're present? In what pa
Der was the call published and for
how long? Have the citizens and
tax payer of the town any right to
saw who shall represent them as
members of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen?
This Board assesses and collects
the tax on all the property III the
town, makes laws for the govern
ment of the town. and spends the
mouey collected by taxation. This
beng true, should not the people
st least have a right to be heard,
whether they avail themselves OF
the privilege or not? If they have
such right, is it treating them fair
by having "snap" mass meeting
secretly called, either by the Board,
for the purpose Of having their ac-
tion endorsed and nominating them
for reelection, or by some design
individual, who desires to control
the town?
II the citizens and tax payers
have any rights in the matter, and
the Board wanted to be fair and
not thrust themselves on the peo-
pie, why did not the Board call q
mass meeting, publish the call In
the newspapers Of the town and let
the people have an opportunity to
ssy who should be the nominees

John Nelson Wright.

Once more the death angel has
invaded our community and called
home BrotherJohn Nelson Wright
who was born December IL, 1926,
and died March 6, 1912, aged 85
years. He is survived by two sons,
Brothers Joseph and BARLEY.
Thedeceased was born in Benton
County, Tennessee, where he lived
all his life. Brother Wright was
man who com manded respect on all
occasions; he was kind father,
true husband, a worthy citizen and
a devoted Christian; ever ready to
give good aud wholesome advice;
he was a success as school teacher
in his early days, aud made many
good and lasting impressions upon
the minds of his students.
Brother Wright professed faith
in Christ in 1874 and united with
the M. E. Church, South, in Lick
Greek congregation, where he lived
true aud loyal member until he
was called to come up higher and
receive the reward that awaits the
faithful Christian,
Let me say to the bereaved ones
to weep not as those who have no
hope, but take hold of the rich
promises of Gods word and run
with patience the road before you,
so that when this earthly pilgrim
age is DER we may hear the well
come applaud, "Well done, good
and faithful servant; come and en-
ter the home of many mansions
prepared for you, where you will
meet father, mother, friends and
loved ones gone before"
We would say to the friends,
Uncle John is gone, and, no doubt,
has entered the home of bliss and
glory, and there, my friends, let US
prepare to meet him, let us take
his life for example, and may his
mantle fall upon number of young
people that they may realize the
great need of such men and try to
make themselves as useful in this
community as Brother Wright has
been. As he is gone, let us resolve
that some day we will meet him.
Where we will never part again,
Where we will never sorrow again,
Where we will through eternity reign
