In Memoriam.

Mr.. George A. Gibbs, the subject 81
this sketch, was born in this city July
IA, 1914, and it was here that he spent
his early childhood and young man
hood. Just as he had reached the age
for college and been prepared by his
ambitious father and mother TO enter,
the Civil War broke out and he enlisted
in Capt. Hamar's company, which be-
came part Of the 18th Mississippi
Regiment, Barksdale Brigade, McLaw' :
Division. He served in it brayely and
well until July IS, 1864, when be lost
his leg in the battle before Petersburg,
Va.
While lying wounded at Richmond,
Va, he was elected Circuit Court Clerk
of this county by his friends at home
without his knowledge. This position
he held until the election Of Ames as
Governor OF the State, when he was re-
moved with all other Confederates who
held Offices in the State.
Mr.. Gibbs after this decided that he
would fulfh. the wishes Of his parents
and study law, and to this end he went
to Lebanon, Tenn, and there completed
the course. He cast his fortunes at first
among the people OF Little Rock, Ark, J,
but at that time science had not made
the progress that it attained later, and
he thought the malaria was more than
his frai constitution could combat, so
he packed his belongings and like many
others his heart longed for the home OF
his grandfather. This was at Union
City, Tenn, and he purchased the old
homestead and began the practice OF
law. His success was marked from the
first, for he possessed mind far be-
yond the average and had made a close
study of the people and conditions
around him; and at one time or an
other came in contact and famiIiarized
himself with the needs OF people in all
walks and conditions OF life in his State.
He was considered one of the most
broad-gauged and well-developed men
in his section, with sound discretion,
by vast amount Of expert
snce. With it all he retained the
strength and bouyancy of young man
nood until he was stricken with his last
sickness.
In 1887 he was appointed Postmaster
II Union City by President Cleveland
ind was offered a reappointment by
President Harrison, which he declined,
is he was Democrat and felt that he
,ould not and would not bride bis prin-
:iples by holding an Office under Re-
publican rule.
Then again he was honored by being
Ippointed Clerk aud Master in Chanceryl
# Obion County, Tenn, which position
,e held until his health was so impaired
hat he felt as though he bad to resign,
vhen his oldest son, Mr.. G. A. Gibbs,

ion was in every way fitted to become

A PHYSICIANS ADVICE.
I'D certainly give most anything
to be able to fat uo few pounds and
stay that way declares every exces-
sively thin man or woman. Such a
result is not impossible. despite past
failures. Thin people are victims of
mal-nutrition, a condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements of food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are when the powers of nutrition are
normal. Instead of getting into the
blood, all the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce healthy normal. amount of
fat the nutritive processes must be
artificially supplied with the power
which nature has denied them. This
can best be accomplished by eating
a Sargol tablet with every meal. Sar-
gol is a scientific combination of six
OF the best strengthening elements
known to the medical profession.
Taken with meals, it mixes with the
food and turns the sugars and starch

newspaper history than has been dug
up here for many years. While the

Charles A. Dana is chiefly associated.
is to move only q short distance. all
sorts Of facts are coming to light
concerning the little old hve-story
structure which 1t has 30 long oc-
cupied. The little red brick build
ing, familiar to newspaper men all
over the country who have ever Wis
tied New York, has = most inter-
esting history. The property on
which 1t stands is mentioned In rec
ords dating as far back as 1889.
when part of 1t measuring about
81 by 20 feet was transferred for
1900. The first Improvement of
any account on the property occur
red about one hundred years ago
when the Society of Tammany (now
known as Tammsny HalD or the Co

York, erected upon 1t q building
which is at present 4 part OF the
plant occupied by the Sun. Formerly
the building had four stories and ex-
cept for the additional one more
floor. 1t stands today practically as
1t was in its character of the first
Tammany hall.
One Of the most tragic events asso-
ciated with this historic building Is
connected with Leisler's rebellion
which reached its climax when Leis-
Ter was hanged on a scaffold erected
on the corner now occupied by this
building. and afterward burned
there. The abandonment by the

The worlds most expensive farm
has Just been put out Of business be-
cause Of the demands Of New York's
rapid transit facilities. The farm in
question occupied small triangular
piece of ground known as Herald
park. situated in the busiest
part of the city at Broadway, and
street. While 1t has
been known as park for many
years. its area has been hardly more
than that of a good size apartment.
and ingress to 1t has been prevented
by means Of an iron fence. For many
years 1t has been farmed by big
Dan" Rim. the traffic policeman on
this busy corner. who has gathered
crops of mushrooms from 1t every

the most succulent ever raised. But
now as the city is to build its new

nection with the European war, a
new sign has appeared in many Of
fices in place of the old ones re-
questing that callers be brief be-
cause time is valuable. or headed:

The new sign reads as follows:
NOTICE!
In compliance with the expressed
and published desire of our president
that we endeavor to maintain an at
titude of neutrality toward the ex-
isting situation in Europe. even in
our daily intercourse, we advise per-
sons calling at this office that we
will not discuss this subject with
them.
We rejoice that we are Americans
and that we enjoy the blessings of
liberty and peace.
In view of it's pertinency, 1t is
now proposed in certain quarters
here to undertake a movement look
ing to its general use throughout the
country. in the belief that it will
prevent many of the arguments con-
oerning the merits of the war and
the chances for victory which are
now being heard on all sides.
