OBITUARY.

|
Benton County, Tenn, February,
1862, died in Camden, Tenn, Jan
uary 6, 1913, aged so years and ii
months. He was married to M iss
Viola Greer, who now has broken
heart on account of his departure.
He was converted to the religion
of Christ when a young man, but
waited for some time to unite with
the church waiting to be abso-
lutely sure Of his conversion. He
then Joined the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, South, where he re-
NAMED faithful until God called
him home.
He was a member of tire writer's
first charge, Camden Circuit, and
! stayed there, for four years as a
boy preacher, and he was my friend
from our first meeting. until the
last. His home was always open
to his pastor and family, and to be
there with Brother and Sister Wick
was to feel that you were with the
nearest and dearest of kin. In the
short space at nay disposal can
not even mention many things l
would like to say of Brother Wick,
and so l confne myself to that
characteristic which seemed to be
most prominent in his life, viz:
his trueness.
Carlysle has said that "the first
requisite of a great man is, that he
is true man," and had A. ID. Wick
been measured by this standard he
would have been found more than
an ordinary man. In all the rela.
tions of life he met the require
ments of true man. Whatever
he did he did it faithfully, and
when he took his stand he was
there to stay. It was never any
trouble to find out just where he
stood on any subject, and when he
had once taken his position he was
true to- it.
AS husband, as citizen, as a
friend and as AN humble follower
of Jesus Christ he had his place
not turning at any time from the
path of what he conceived to be
his duty. During his last illness,
which was long and trying, his
constant prayer was that he might
be patient to the end.
Many times he told his wife and
friends that his. pathway to glory
was clear and his prospects bright.
He and his wife had no children
of their own, but they raised from
a small girl one who grew to be
most excellent young lady, who is
now Mrs. Travis Brooks of near
Camden. At the death Of his widow
and this child, he willed 100 acres
OF land to the Memphis Confer
ence to build and maintain a SUI
perannuate home in Camden, Tenn.
He left us this as proof of his love
for God and his cause.
70 the bereaved widow let me
say, do not look for him at the
grave, for he is not there, but think
Of him as being with the redeemed
host above. Of course you are
sad and lonely-now, but rest in the
assurance of the meeting "bye and
Bye and comfort yourself, with
the thought that, after all, he is
not far away; we shall see him
again. e. M. MATHIS.

BOY
SAD TASK

Marshalltown, Aug. 12-The sad task
Of receiving the body Of his father
Michael Cronian, from the soldiers
home morgue and accompanying 1t to
the home In Des Moines fell this morn
ing upon the immature shoulders OF
Lawrence Cronian, aged IA years.
Manfully, the lad assumed the task,
going with the body to h station,
watching while it was loaded and then
climbing on board the train. Lawrence
came for his parent because there was
no one else to come. The pathos OF the
incident crowded tears to the eyes of
home officers.
The mother was sick, the other chill
dren were too small to assume the re-
sponsibility, and Harold, the 17-year-
old brother, the homes chief bread
winner, could not leave his work.
Most unusual 10 the family that 10
left in Des MONIES to grieve for the
veteran father, who died at the home
hospital Of heart disease. Cronian was
Sc years OF age. There is left in Des
Moines the widow, Mrs. Jennie M.
Cronian. 317 East Fifteenth street, and
six children, ranging in ages from II
to 9 mouths. to mourn for him, The
childr, and their ages are. Harold,
II: Lawrence, IA: Ray. IL; Leila, g.;
Bernice, 5, and baby Nora. 9 months
old.
Cronian entered the homo from Dies
Moines June 81 last. He was born in
Columbia county, Pennsylvania, April
9, 1847. He enlisted in Company E,
Two Hundred Ninth Pennsylvania in
fantry In Columbia county, Sept. 1,
1854. and he was discharged at Alex
andria, Va, May 81, 1865.

SHOWERS
OVER STATE
RAINS WILL PREVENT FURTHER
INJURY TO CORN; OF GREAT
VALUE TO POTATOES.

Des Moines, Aug. 1.-THE weather
crop bulletin for the week ending
August 10. 1918:
The drouthy conditions continued
! with increased severity until the 10th.
| when copious showers occurred over
the larger part Of the state, and were
followed on Sunday night by heavy
rains, accompanied by high winds In
many localities. On the Sth the tenn
perature ranged from 100 to los de
grees over the southern sections and
were attended by hot winds. Corn in
the northern part Of the state has held
its own remarkably we'll and gives
promise Of a good crop. In the south
ern counties corn has steadily retro
graded and the condition has been re-
duced 20 to so per cent since July Is.
While much of the damage to corn is
irreparable the rains will greatly i'm
prove the general condition and pre-
vent further injury. The rains will
also be Of great value to potatoes, pas
lures, meadows and gardens, and will
increase the water supply, which was
getting scarce in the southern coun-
ties.
The following telegraphic reports
" -.
were received on the morning of the
18th and show the amounts OF rainfall
for Sunday and Sunday night at the
stations named: Des Moines, 2.49

Following is the summary OF reports
showing conditions Of fruit on August
1, 1913; Apples. SO per cent of the 1909
crop or $500, 900 bushels for this year.
Estimates show a decline in condition
of plums from IS per cent on July l
to SO per cent on August 1. Grapes
seem to have suffered no injury from
weather conditions. The estimates in
dictate 91.5 per cent or only one-half OF
1 per ZEN since July 1. The crop
will be exceptionally clean on account
OF freedom from disease due to the dry
weather.-Geo. M. Chapel, section

SCHOOL
READY FOR ROOF

Creston, Aug. 12.-The work on the
high school building has been pro-
crossing rapidly during the past Few
days and in a short time it will be
ready for the roof. The a OF educa-
zion inspected the building a few days
ago and after looking 1t over carefully
came to the conclusion that h roof
trusses extended over quite a wide
span and that extra precaution should
be taken to have them perfectly secure.
They decided to call in the state arch
ftect to inspect the work. The work as
originally designed will be carried out,
but some changes will be made that
will insure absolute security. Every
thinox will be pushed forward as rap
fdly as possible, so that the building
may be completed at. the earliest mo
ment.
