all members Of the council present. The
Pattie A. Clay Infrmary was given an
increase of one hundred dollars in the
yearly allowance to that institution.
The question of oiling the streets was
taken up and the report of soliciting
committee revealed the fact that only
$500 had been subscribed to date by the
business people for this purpose. The
necessary sum required is $500, the in

Deaths

Mr.. Lewis @. Terrill died at his home
on Fifth street Wednesday morning,
after protracted illness, aged twenty
three years. Deceased was a son of the
late L. c. Terrin, of Kingston, this
county, and nephew Of County Clerk
Robt. Terrill, of this city. He had been
in poor health for more than a year, his
illness being due, it is alleged, to a fall
received while engaged in repairing a
telephone line. MrTerrill was young
man Of exemplary habits, and by strict
attention to business was promoted
many times by the East Tennessee Tele-
phone Co., in whose employ he had been
since moving to Richmond, and at time
OF his death held responsible and lucra-
tive position with that corporation. A
bright future was in store for Lewis Ter
rill, had he been spared to complete the
allotted span of life, but another mystery
has been added in his taking away just
as life's horizon seems brightest. He is
survived by his mother, two sisters and
one brother. His funeral services were
conducted at the residence of his
mother, Mrs. Dora Terrill, on Fifth
street, Thursday afternoon by Rev. E.
B. Barnes, followed by interment in the
Richmond cemetery.
