Road Work.

One OF the best pieces OF road work
ing ever done in Obion County was that
Of the Ebenezer neighborhood Friday
and Saturday. They had four bad hills
Just this side and beyond John r. Lit
tleton's place. These hills had long ago
been condemned by the neighborhood,
but until last week they never neryed up
TO go after them.
Early Friday morning they met near
Ebenezer Church, the men prepared to
go TO work and their wives and families
to see that they had something good to
eat at noon. A wagon was sent to
Reelfoot Lake after fish and the plows
and scrapers started in on the hills.
Not having made arrangement for their
fish they found the dock had sold out.
Nothing daunted them. They got some
Of Che Reeves fine hams and when the
road workers came in at II clock they
found the biggest and best dinner that
was ever spread at Ebenezer. Saturday
they met again and after the morning s

A FAIR WARNING.

ONE THAT SHOULD Be Needed BY UNION
Cry RESIDENTS.
Frequently the first sign Of kidney
trouble is a slight ache or pain in the
loins. Neglect OF this warning makes
the way easy for more serious trouble
dropsy, gravel, Bright's disease. IT'S
well to pay attention to the first sign.
Weak kidneys generally grow weaker
and delay is often dangerous. Resi-
dents OF this locality place reliance in
Doan's Kidney Pills. This tested rem
edy has been used in kidney trouble
over so years-is recommended all over
the civilized world. Read the following:

street, Martin, Tenn, says: i found
Doan's Kidney Pills to be good rem
edy and one that lives up to all the
claims made for it. The secretions

comrades shall liye--in holy memories,
in widening influence, 10 higher ideals
Of human life. in the perpetuated sane
titles Of Christian soldiers they shall live
as He lives. who is their Risen Lord and
the Captain of their salvation.
Our saddened hearts reverently cher
ish holy memories and divinely inspired
longings and anticipation. We mourn
not as those who have no hope. Our
night OF sorrow may be long and dark
but Joy cometh in the morning. The
shadows chase the sunlight here but
with the dawning OF the new and i'm
mortal day the shadows will forever flee
away.
Ia reporting upon the losses which
we have sustained, your committee
would not rashly challenge incidious
comparison, and who, without due
period Of reflection, fitly characterize
the comrades OF many and varied gifts
whose names will ever be a treasured
heritage in the homes Of our Southland.
We fain would walk with unsandled
feet as we draw near to the tomb where
lie enshrined these illustrious heroes OF
the cross OF st. Andrew, the battle flag
OF the sunny South, and deposit with
reverent heads our wreath OF immor-
teIles which speak alike our loving re-
grets and Astounding love for such men
and comrades as w. w. Casey, +. p.
McMurry, l. N. Bramham, r. L. Lit
Teton. These were names to coniure
with but yesterday. How luminous the
list grows as our eyes follow the record
Of promotion which closed the old and
opened the new century. Their names
crowd upon our memory as we reflect
ON the past--names which will be for
ever enshrined in loving hearts and held
in conspicuous honor. Their reward is
as certain as it is deserved. The South
weeps in sorrow for her heroes, and it
is a sacred grief.
We join all lovers Of the brave and
good in lament over our loss. We
tender to all smitten households our
heartfelt sympathy in their sore be-
reavement with tear for the dead and
a hand clasp OF love and hope to the
sorrowing. We have but few more
words-to call to all who remain to
better service to God and human kind.
No true follower of our Lord may give
place to doubt or fear, to gloom or de-
spair. Our exalted leader summons us
as with bugle call to victory
reward. Why seek We the living
among the dead. The demand and
duty OF the hour is for actiondeyo-

reached the age which all those have

tory. They are rapidly passing across
the river OF death to rest under the
shades Of the trees.
But while our comrades have depart
ed they have left something great be-
hind them. There remains the MEM
DRY of their splendid characters and
beautiful lives = something all the
money in the world could not buy nor
the richest treasures Of the earth create.
And many OF the most delightful Of all
the experiences Of those who for a lit
tie while have hidden us adieu we're the
associations with their Confederate COM
rades. Such men as our comrades who
have gone helped to make the history
OF the South and to present its man
hood and its womanhood as the highest
type Of the Anglo Saxon, the greatest
OF all nations. Our comrades reioiced
that they helped to compose some Of
the mighty legions that followed Lee,
Jackson, A. S. aud Joe Johnston, For
est. Morgan and Wheeler. And for all
the Confederates everywhere in this land
we say peace to their ashes, rest to their
souls, and point their survivors to their
lives as a splendid manifestation Of the
highest type OF southern manhood.
The names Of all the soldiers Of the
army and navy OF the Coniederacy may
in time be forgotten, but four long
years OF bitter strife, their self-sacrific-
ing devotion to duty regardless Of per-
sonal danger and their influence for
good by their example OF heroism can
not perish but Will shine out brighter
and brighter as the years go by.
Comrades, our ranks are broken,
Close our front, the foe is nigh.
Shield to shield, behold the token
AS our comrades saw It in the sky.
Look, comrades, look--so bright and
glorious
We shall conquer il we strive,
And like them, though dead, victorious
In the courts OF Jesus live.
