In Memory Of Little Duchie.

The dawning breeze sang sad lullaby

/ ley murm ired low as if talking in III
sleep. The roses and lilies raised thei
dropping heads refreshed with the morn
ing dew The birds were beginning tc
wake and sing their sweet songs, anG
the dark angel Of death began to steal
with noiseless wings into the home oi
Mr.. and Mrs. Dan Carmack, and just al
/ A O'Clock the spirit OF their little daugh-
ter, Duchie, was ushered into the great
beyond.
Margaret Inez, daughter OF Mr.. and
/ Mrs. Dan Carmack, was born July s,
1909, died May is, 1913, aged three
years, ten months and ten days.
The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh
away. Why she was taken we know
not. Christ said, Suffer little children
to come unto me and forbid them not,
for such is the kingdom Of heaven, !"
and thus He placed the cold hand of
death upon this little lamb and took it
from its parents, leaving them in sor-
row and casting gloom over their
home. Never more will little Duchie
come to meet Daddy" nor will mama
hear her sweet voice say, Mama. wake
me when daddy comes from work. "
She loved to 60 to Sunday school and
learned the chorus OF some Of the songs
Her little voice could often be heard
lisping the songs while at home. Her
favorites were, jesus Loves Me" and
Down in the Valley Both Of these
were sung at her funeral services, which
were conducted at MountAraratb by Reys
Jones and Hampton, after which she
was laid to rest under an embankment|
of beautiful flowers as the mellow rays
Of the evening sun fell softly on the
scene, gently reminding us that we may
see our dear one again where darkness
is forever vanished aud sunlight is gold
en- and eternal
We watched her through the night,
Her breathing soft aud low,
AS in her breast the wave of life
Kept heaving too and fro.
Sc silently we seemed to speak,
So softly moved about,
We thought her dying when she slept,
And sleeping when she died.
Father, mother, brother, sister. the
dear old grandfather, grandmother, and |
other weeping relatives. when you fec
that you cannot endure il another mo-
ment away from Duchie, just look To
Him who doeth all things well. for He
is our comforter IN time Of trouble. /
You cannot bring her back. but you
can 20 where she has gone. She was
beautiful here but more beautiful in
heaven.
TO her dear Aunt Matt, who sat by |
the bedside, or near enough to hear the
cali Of her gentle voice, cooling her
ieyered brow and soothing her 70 sleep
Tor seven days and nights, weep not,
though your heart seems broken.

Yet God said with all wisdom,
She must be heavenly treasure,
And an angel descended silently
with outspreau wings or love,
And took your darling to her home
above.
Papa and mama, grieve not for your
darling child, she has only gone on be-
fore. 1t is another link added to the
golden chain that draws you nearer
heaven. Try to live SO that when your
work IS ended here Christ will say to
you, Well done, good and faithful
servants, come up higher and rest in
Duchie's home with the angels.
Sleep on Duchie, now quietly rest,
You have gone from u.s.,
But are with the bless.
We miss thee it ia true,
But must not complain,
When life's tolls are ended,
We will meet thee again.

Shot at Nh. arris.

w. G. Farris had some tenants, John
Thompson and two sons, with whom be
has recently had trouble. The boys
have been doing some very unsatis-
factory work lately, or rrather neglecting
their work. They have been at work
for Mr.. Farris for several years and had
begun to shirk 50 badly that Mr.. Farris
slapped one Of the darkies down last
Friday evening. The father remarked
that the boy was his son and that Mr.
Farris couldn't do that without killing
him. This occurred the next morning,
and Mr. Farris slapped the old man with
hatchet. The old negro armed him
self when he went to the field and Mr..
Farris saw the pistol but said nothing
until noon. He went to the house and
came out with his shot gun. The negro
came up on a mule aud pulled his pistol
and shot at Mr.. Farris twice, missing
both times. Mr.. Farris returned the
fire with his gun, and the shot. which
were small, struck the negro ID the leg.
The negro was very slightly injured,
but he came to town and had the shot
extracted and made his escape, Il ii
yery fortunate indeed that thenegro was
4 bad shot Or another good citizen might
have been the victim Of murder.

THE UNION CITY SCHOOLS
Commencement Banquet. and Sc.
ciaI Festivities.

The Union City High.school com
mencement took place at Reynolds
Opera House last Thursday night. The
graduating class appeared in shower
Of peach blossoms, the stage being dec
GRATED in the garb Of nature, a bower
Of branches and blossoms.
Invocation was offered by Rev. c. NJ.
Zwingle, and the Superintendent intro
duced State Superintendent J. w. Bris-
ter, who made an address on the sub
iect of education. He referred to the
fact that of all the schools he bad Wis
tied the classes were comprised mostly
OF girls, showing that the boys OF Ten
nessee were not taking advantage OF the
opportunities offered them in the pub
lie schools. He made an appeal to the
boys that was both eloquent and full Of
the Importance Of his subject.
Ills reference to the fact that Tennes-
see has voted one-third Of her gross rev.
enues to education and that other States
we're appropriating three times as much
was somewhat Inconsistent, but in the
main his speech was full Of inspiration.
The State Superintendent is evidently a
man OF the hreadest ability. He is q
good speaker, and the audience enjoyed
his address.
Rev. J. e. Stuart was introduced aud
delivered the medals as follows:
A watch offered by the South Bend
company through Bransford & Andrews
for the best work in the manual train
ing department was awarded to Henry
Lancaster.
A gold ring, given also through Brans-
ford q Andrews, for the best cake in the
domestic science department was award
ed to Miss Lydia Stone. She also re-
ceiyed another prize Of one dollar in
gold.
A fiye-dollar gold piece, for the best
work in German, was awarded to Smith
Gregory Allen.
The Leonidas Polk scholarship. given
by the Board Of Education, was award
ed some time ago to Miss Nina Wilson,
and the young lady has graduated with
the honofs Of til the seh1eiI school and and appeared
with the class
The gowns worn by the girls in the
Domestic Science department were
home made, product of their own
hands, and an artistic contribution to
the work Of the school.
Mr.. Brister then delivered the di-
plomas in complimentary address.
The class appeared as follows:
