In Memory.

On last Monday morning at the be-
ginning Of bright sunshiny day the
dark angel death entered the home OF
Laiban Haislip and claimed for its own
his beloved wife.
Sallie was sick only few days OF
pneumonia, but was better. Her death
was due to heart failure. She was the
eldest daughter of the late Samuel Err
win and Elizabeth Agnew. She was
born July 8, 1856, in Obion County six
miles south of Ebenezer, and departed
this life March 1, 1915, at the age of SO
years, months and 26 days. Sallie
was married to Laiban Haislip, of Troy,
in the fall of 1886. To this union five
children were born, four of whom sur
vive her as follows, besides her husband:
Matte and Dee Haislip, Mrs. Roy
Smith and Earl Haislip, who was at
tending the State Normal in Memphis
at the time of his mothers illness. She
also leaves several stepchildren who
will feel her loss deeply. A place has
been made vacant that never can be
filled. There is an empty chair and a
voice so loved is hushed forevermore in
the vale of sorrow and tears, for the
spirit has returned to the one who gave
it. We can say she lived true Chris
tan life. Never tired of working for
her Master. Sallie scattered sunshine
wherever she went, and to know her was
TO love her. No one knows how they
will miss her now that she has left them,
never to return.
There is an endearing tenderness in
the love OF mother to her children that
transcends all affections of the heart.
She will sacrifice every comfort to their
convenience; she will surrender every
pleasure to their enjoyment. How little
do we appreciate mothers tenderness
while living. How needless are we in
youth of all her anxieties and kindness.
But when she is dead and gone, when
the cares and GOODNESS of the world
come whitening to our hearts, when we
experience how hard it is to find true
symathy.
How few to love us for ourselves, how
few to oefriend us in misfortune-then
we think OF the mother we have lost.
We thank God for such life as this
one was, her soul as pure and white as
the clouds above has passed on, but
her Christian influence is left with US.
Her life work being done, God needed
her in his kingdom above. She had
spent a great portion Of Der life 10

and around Rives where she leaves
many friends to mourn her loss.
Besides her immediate family she
leaves one sister, Mrs. I. A. Christian,
of Halls, Tenn, and four brothers,
Walter and Sam, of Rives, George, Of
Newbern, and Bob, of Idaho.
Weep not dear husband, sons and
daughters, brothers and sister, for she
will know no more sad goodbyes, no
more heart aches, no more tears to wipe
away; but joy, peace and gladness will
ever more be hers. She will now wait
and watch for her loved ones here on
earth as they strive day by day and
mourn for her. But cheer up, dear ones,
and look what God has blessed and left
you; only think and say, Not my will
but thine be done," only strive that
you may meet your loved ones in Heav-
en- when your time comes, where no
parting ever comes, where no chilling
frost shall fall on flowers that sweetly
bloom. All the saved shall meet and
speak no more goodbyes. The very
winds seem signing for the loved one
that has just gone.
A noble life from us has gone;
At last the victory death has won.
A gentle voice we loved is still;
Our hearts with sorrow now are filled.
That life transformed we wish to see
When we reach Eternity.
That voice some day we hope to hear.
When we have banished earthly care.
Our hearts may then lie filled with Joy
When we can all our sins destroy
With our earthly friends who have
Heavenward gone
The funeral services were conducted
last Tuesday at Ebenezer by Bro. Bur-
CESS Cunningham and Raymond White.
The body was laid to rest beneath most
beautiful flowers.
Everyone spoke of the kind and gen.
tie way Roy administered to her wants,
always ready and willing to do anything
to relieve her sufferings.

ton without opposition, Mr.. Atkins,
on his part, agreeing not to be a
candidate to succeed himself. This
arrangement seems to be the best
that could be made. 1t gives the
family of Mr.. Sanders the benefits OF
the full term, for which he was
elected and at the same time does
not interfere with the candidates
who are in the race for the next

have also acted in good faith and in
a generous way in the matter. 1t is
a solution to be desired. The court
will convene in special session on

is also a large collection of old
money, both foreign and domes-

of the world is represented, and
dates back to the time of Alexan-

ago. The latter dates back to the
time of the colonial coinage, both

to the present. A complete series
of confederate money from fifty
cents to one hundred dollars is al
so to be seen. Tn all there are

The Fourth of July is thrice
celebrated this year-on the 80,
4th, 5th. The celebrations when
call for the bands, the loud noise,
and the fireworks, are divided be-
tween the Sd and the 9Th. But
perhaps the most intelligent OF the
celebrations are to be held on the
4th-celebrations which are oil
real meaning in American citizen
ship, and which will leave men,
cries of value.
There still turks in some minds
the belief that Sunday is too good
a day to devote to national patriot
ism, or to decorating the graves
of soldier heroes who died for
their country, or to recognizing the
standing of American labor. The
fetish of Sunday proprieties hangs
like a pail over some people.
On the other hand, many
thoughtless ones consider a ma
tional holiday as nothing but a
gala day with its accompanying
noise and pomp, forgetting the
origin of the observance, and
the value of it's continuance.
To either class, the 4th OF July,
or Memorial day, or Labor day,
means little. But to the intelli-
gent American citizen with that
peculiar quality of red blood
which makes this a free nation,
holiday observance has an inner
meaning as well as an outward
display.
In the early days of this north
west country there were no bands
and no reduced rates on the Great
Northern. There were no city or
dinances against giant crackers,
and automobiles were not barred
from the parade streets. just the
same, the 4th of July celebrations
were held, and they were real
celebrations. The immortal prin-
ciples of justice, liberty and
equality were told in song and
story and patriotic oratiOns to au-
diences assembled from the hills
and the valleys and from across
the streams.
Today the Stars and Stripes
mark the high standing Of a free
nation in a world Of bloody wars
of conquest. With reasons greater
than ever for maintaining the
memory of our national birth,
should the 4th of July be cele-
brated this year.

The county commissioners have
disclosed some interesting matters
in the courthouse records, as re-
suit of their intention to rebuild
some of the county bridges which
were made only few years ago,
and which are now rotten and
unsafe.
In looking up comparative costs
of bridges, it was found that no
cost record had been kept of the
Rock Cut, Napoleon and Barstow
steel bridges. The pine bridge
over the Colville below Kettle
Falls carries no history of cost,
and other bridges have no official
history, except occasional state
ments that money was paid for
them. Names of successful bid
ders or contractors, dates of con-
struction or approval, descrip-
tions of material used, and cost
records-all are matters for fu-
ture generations to discover, for
the county record giveth them not.
These bridges that were built
10 and 12 years ago cost cOnsid-
cradle money. Who got the
money may be an impertinent
questi, n, but it is really the right
of the taxpayer to know some
thing about the cost of county
bridges, their contractors, and
whether they were ever accepted
by the county.
For several years, under the
democratic board of commission
ers, everything has been made Of
record, and no money is wasted in
building pine bridges over large
streams. Previous to that time,
money was spent for bridges-so
the record says-but what kind
of bridges or how large or built
by whom, is not of record. 1t is
useless to charge that there was
any crookedness in the bridge
matter, for in the absence Of rec
ords nothing could be proved.
But any sane taxpayer who in
vestigates the matter will be able
to see at least one reason why the
old ring method of conducting
county business was luckily dis
solved by public consent at the
polls.

Taxpayers of the state are be-
ginning to realize the expense
which was caused by the recent
republican legislature. The cost
of the referendum on the seven
bills which will be before the
people is going to be big item.
The people not only paid for the
legislature which enacted the
bills, but will pay the cost of pre-
senting them to the voters for re-
peal.
The added cost of the initiative
and referendum is something few
voters fully understand. The fact
is that it is practically impossible
to figure out just how much has
to be spent before a vote is taken.
There isthe cost of circulating and
fling petitions, which is a com
paratively small item. There is
the vast amount of labor in con-
nection with it for which there is
no compensation. The taxpayer
has to pay the cost of having the
petitions checked by the state, of
having the pamphlets printed and
circulated, and the expense of ad-
vertising the measures. But that
is not all. The county has to pay
for the added printing on the Of
fetal ballots and it costs more to
have the ballots counted and the
