SAMUEL AMBURN.

AT the advanced age Of IS years, and
surrounded by his faithful heIpmeet and all
but one of his children, Samuel Auburn
passed peacefully away last Sunday night
about 10 o'clock.
He was born in Burke county, N. C.,
Decemper IL, 1929. Came to Fannin
county when about 10 years of pge and
moved to Ducktown in l848.
In 1853, he was united in marriage to
Mary McAlliste and seven children, all
living, we're the result of this union. They
are as follows: Mrs. Julia Hill, Coal Greek,
Tenn; ]. r. Auburn, Bisbee Arizona;
Ell, John and Will, Mrs. Josiah Brooks
and Charles Auburn all of Ducktown. All
we're present at his bedside except Mrs.
Hill who was sick.
Heserved in the Tenth Tennessee cavalry
during the war between the states and saw
four years of hard service.
He belonged to the Masonic and Red
Men orders and his funeral was conducted
under their auspices.
For fifty years he was col sistent mem
Der of the Baptist church and the funeral
services were held in that church by A. b
Um, who paid glowing tribute to the de-

For man his age ne had a remarkable
memory and could talk entertainingly of
things that happened many, many years
ago. He was conscious until a short time
before passing away and died full in the
faith of the power of Jesus Christ to save.

While his death was not wholly unex-
pected, on account of his advanced age,
it was none the less shock to the
the citizens of Ducktown with whom he
had so long been associated. He was loyal
Republican and always went to the polls
when able.
To the stricken family the sympathy of
the community will be extended in this
dark hour of bereavement and may they
be eomforted in the knowledge that he has
only gone on before.

MARCY BURGER.

Mrs. Nancy Berger died last Sunday,
IA, at the age of 81 years.
She was the mother of +. and J. W..
Berger and was Amanda Worley of Duck
town and was highly esteemeg by all who
knew her.
The remains were taken to the Bethle-
hem church Tuesday, where services were
held by the Pastor Rev. ]. F. MCGEE after
which she was laid to rest in the cemetery.
Deep sympathy goes out to the family
in this sad hour of their loss.

While the Twenty third Is nominally
a Democratic district, there are factors
that give strong hope to Bennet's sup

other Is that Hsyes's fght-however
