The many friends and relatives of Mr..
Luther Whiteside, of Fulton, were pain
fully shocked when the sad news Of his
sudden death was flashed over the wires
early Monday morning. His health
had been gradually failing for some
time, but no one thought the end was
so near. TIE writer has known him
from early infancy and can truly say
that he was a noble man. When a
mere boy his everyday life foretold the
man. He was quiet and modest almost
to timidity. He filled several worthy
positions in life after graduating at Leb-
anon, Tenn. He was splendid teacher.
Many business men of this country will
remember his untiring zeal he put forth
while teaching at Obion College, at Troy.
He also filled the position of postal
clerk for quite while on the Illinois
Central railroad, besides other response
bic positions. The efficiency Of his work
in different positions and his devotion
to it at all times are in sense the meas
ure of the man. He leaves wife and
several children besides host Of rela-
tives to mourn his loss. He was buried
at Fulton last Tuesday under wilder
ness of flowers amid host Of surviv-
ing friends and relatives.

Alexander S
For Superintendent Of Banks.

The State Bankers Association named
five of its members last week who are
recommended to the Governor as suit
able material for State Bank Superin-
tendent.
There we're FIVE men selected by vote,
out OF which number the Governor was
to make the appointment. The only
Republican in the list, man from East
Tennessee, was the Governors choice.
There was also only one regular Dem
ocrat named and that was Walter How
ell, OF the Old National Bank, this city,
and we will wager a doughnut that not
another one OF these men was better
suited to the place nor better qualified
than Mr.. Howell. The fact Of the bus
mess is, no one ever thought Of having
a superintendent until they found that
he was the man for it.

Death of Miss Hattie Grady.

On April p the death angel visited
the home OF Mr., and Mrs. John Grady
and claimed for its jewel the beautiful
daughter, Miss Hattie. Miss Hattie
was beautiful young lady Just in her
bloom Of life. Age twenty-three years,
two months and eleven days.
Miss Hattie was truechristian. She
joined the Methodist Church at Shady
Grove at the age OF thirteen, and lived
true christian the rest Of her life.
She leaves a mother, father, four sisters
and host of friends and relatives to
mourn her death. This loved one will
be missed in and around her home.
She was the flower of her home. Made
home a happy place for all. Within
that home everything was done that
loving hands and willing hearts could
do, but God thought it best to take his
precious one home-never more to strive
with the trials and tribulations OF this
earth. God called her and she said she
was ready to go every time, but hated
to leave her dear unconyerted ones be-
hind. She was loved by everyone who
knew her.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Carman, pastor at Shady Grove
church, and the remains were laid to
rest in the Shady Grove cemetery to
sleep and rest until the resurrection
morn when God shall call us home to
our everlasting home where parting is
no more. A FRIEND.
Weep not, dear father, mother and
sisters, for weeping is in vain, for death
shall come and we will be the same.
The Lord heard her voice and called her
home to dwell in that mansion where
death and parting Is no more.
