Pomona

Mrs. Hester Gilmore Lemert, aged
twenty-five, wife of Nathan Lemert,
passed from this life Friday morning,
March 3rd. She was taken suddenly i'll
with uremic poisoning Monday night.
Feb. 2Sth, and although she was given
every attention possible. it was of no
avail.
Her father ana mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
Gilmore, Of Kansas, who were spend
ing the winter IN Florida. arrived at
her bedside Wednesday. The body was
removed Friday to the home OF her
father-in-law. E. l.. Lemert, IN Cross
VILE, where it was prepared for re-
moval; and early Saturday morning
the remains. accompanied by her hus-
band, her parents, and brother-in-law,
Milo Lemert, left (;rossvlle for her
childhood home in Highland, Kansas,
where the interrment was to take place
Monday.
Besides her husband and parents, the
deceased is survived by sister and
two brothers.
Mrs. Lemerl came to the Cumber-
lands three years ago last summer as a
bride, and her sweet, lovable personal
lty, and generous nature soon won for
her many friends in her new home.
Her happy smile and ever-ready wit
will be missed wherever she was
known. The young couple were unus-
ually devoted to each other, and this
untimely departure of his companion
will be very hard for the young hus-
band to bear.
As wife, daughter, sister, and friend
the deceased leaves VIDE circle to
mourn her death. 1t is needless to say
that the deep sympathy of Pomona. as
we'll as the whole county, goes forth to
the bereaved ones IN their hour OF sor-
row.

STAvE MILL To START.
John Q. Burnett & Son Close Contract
for 100000 Beer Slaves.

John Q. Burnett and son M. II. Bur-
nett have closed deal with Frank
Russell for 200. QUO eighth barrel slaves.
which insures the starting of the stave
mill here within short time. M. H.
Burnett will be IN charge of the work
and grade and receive the slaves.
Mart Burnett has had several years ex-
perience handling, grading and making
beer and other slaves and there IS not
man IN this section who knows better
than he what is needed in piece OF
timber for it to make good stave.
The rough slaves will be received at
any point on the Tennessee Central
railroad from Monterey east. The
price paid will be based on delivery
at the n II in CrossvIlle. Parties wish
ing to ship in car lots will load same
and the freight charges Will be deduct
ed from the purchase price after being
inspected at the mill here.
The slaves will be paid for in stave
checks that will be received by any of
the merchants IN town or will be CASH
ed at the bank on presentation.
There Is much timber left IN this
county that will make good eigth bar
rel Deer slaves as the length Is only IS
inches. width four inches and one and
one-half inches thick at heart. 1t will
be seen it does not take large piece
Of timber to make such stave and
owing to the fact that many persons in
this section have had experience in
making beer slaves, they will be able
to get many such slaves now where
they could not have done so without
experience.
Messrs Burnett feel that they will be
abIe to ger the zUU,UUU slaves needed
10 fill their present contract and very
likely many more. At any rate 1t pre-
sents good opportunity for our peo- &.
pie to utilize to advantage much tim
Der that would otherwise 60 into rali-
.oad ties ana bring tar less cash to the
timber owner.

DIDN'T SUIT WILSON.
President Wants to Appoint All Members
Of Tariff Commission.

Representative Barnhart of Indiana,
went to the White House with an idea.
AS he came away he could hear from
the Presidents room the echoing
words, 1.-The ideal"
Mr.. Barnhart's idea was developed
IN connection with the discussion Of
tariff commission. The Hoosier states
man recognizes that tariff commits
sion can do nothing except TO investi-
gate and report-to somebody. That
somebody, naturally. should be the
Congress, which body alone has the
authority to make tariff changes; and
it is Mr.. Barnhart's s idea that the tariff
board should be directly responsible to
Congress. 10 make this idea effective
and to give TO the board that mon
partisan" quality which has been de-
sired for it. Mr.. Barnhart proposed
that each leading party in the Senate
and IN the House snould name one
member of the board and that the
President should appoint a fifth.
The President would have none of
this, how ever. He insists that If
tariff commission Is to be set up. he
shall have the naming of every one Of
the men who shall compose it. In
other words, Wilson wants Wilson
tariff commission. This is in line with
his whole career. At Pinceton he made
it q point. whenever a trustee Of the
University was to be chosen. to put
forward Wilson man for the place;
similarly. when an officer of instruction
down to the lowest tutor-was to be
selected, he took pains to get a Wilson
man on the job He never appointed
committee of the Princeton faculty
that he did not stuff it with a majority
of Wilson supporters. AS President of
the United States he has pursued tho
same course. He intends to put none
but Wilson men on guard. Congress
man Barnhart would make up the tariff
board with some regard to the spirit
OF the Constitution and to the proprie-
ties of the occasion. Wilson would
make il up to suit bis own sweet will.

HATCHET BURIED.
Republican Differences Settled and Solid
Front Presented to Enemy

The conference called last week in
Nashville. with the view to settling
the differences existing between the
leaders, proved an entire success and
the party will go into the fight this fall
in the state with solid and united
front presented to the common enemy.
In the adjustment Senator Newell
Sanders and Congressman Sam r. Sells
both withdrew as candidates for ma
tional committeeman and John j. Gore,
of Gainesboro. was named for that
place.
j. S. Beasley will resign as state
chairman and j. Will Taylor Is to sue
ceed Mr.. Beasley. Nothing was men
toned relative to the race for United
States senator or governor. The feel
ing Is That former Governor Hooper
will be the candidate for the senate
and the race tor governor will be be-
tween Juoge H. B. Lindsey, of Knox
vile, and J. W. Overall. of Middle
Tennessee.
1t is probable thst Hooper, Sanders,
Sells and H. Clay Evans will be the
delegates at large to lthe republican
national convention ut Chicago.
The result of the conference Is called
no ones victory as concessions were
made by both sides. Senator Sanders
is credited with beng the strongest
factor for bringing about peace condl-
tlons.

HANDLING TRAINS BY PHONE,
Most important Line Of Southern Rail-
way IN Re ca Eaiiipped.

| Washington. ID. c., February 28.-ln
order that it may extend the use of the
telephone for dispatching trains over
the entire line from Alexandria, Va,
to Salisbury, N. c.. $50 miles. South
ern Railway has authorized the con-
struction of two telephone circuits be-
tween Alexandria and Monroe, Va,
100 miles.
Work will be begun as soon as forces
can be organized and the necessary
material secured.
Between Monroe and Salisbury the
Southern has used the telephone for
dlspatching trains for a number of
years and the results have been so sat
isfactory as to justify an extension of
this system.
The telephone has several advantages
over the telegraph. Service is quicker
and it is easier to guard against errors.
The dispatcher writes the order as he
sends it, spelling out sll figures such
as train numbers, engine numbers, and
time. The receiver writes the mes
sage as he receives 1t and then repeats
it to the dispatcher. spelling out all
figures. The telephone brings the
sender and receiver into close touch
and the dispatcher, should occasion
arise, can talk personally to the con-
ductor or engineer of any train on his
division.
The line between Alexandris and
Salisbury is very important part of
the Washington Atlanta line and the
Southern Railway has provided every
facility for moving heavy business
over it safely and expeditiously.
Double track is now being constructed
and automatic electric block signals IN
stalled on all parts of 1t not already SO
equipped. The addition of the tele-
phone dispatchlng system will M axe
this one of the most modernly equipped
railway lines in the world.

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATED.
Daniel Manning Surprised by Relatives
and Friends on 88th Anniversary

Saturday. February ~. Daniel Man
ming. Uncle DAN as he IS bes
known by his many friends. was pleas
antly surprised by his relatives anc
friends on his 88th birthday with a
splendid dinner at his home, Linaria.
| The surprise was made the more
complete by reason of his relatives and
friends preparing the dinner at their
homes and taking it to his home on the
eventful day. AS his birthday comes
February 20 it will be seen that he has
birthday only once in four years.
While the surprise was complete and
very. enjoyable to all present it was
rendered Tore so by the fact that it
could Got occur again for four years
and that is long time when one has
passed the four score mark as has
"Uncle Dam
There were 16 cakes, so pies ard Gus
tards and other good things in proper
tion. Owing to the cold weather and
snow not so many persons were present
as would otherwise have been. Includ-
ing friends. grandchildren and great
grandchildren there we're AZ persons
present and after all had dined sump-
tuousiy there was left enough tempting
good things to have supplied one hun
dred people.
: He is the father OF Ave daughters
living, four of them being present.
Grandchildre and great grandchildren |
were present to the number of q. He
is the father. grandfather and great |
grandfather CT 132 people.
For many years "Uncle Dan" Man
ming was engaged in buying cattle for
eastern market and has driven many
thousand cattle from this and adjoin-
ing counties. I. used to be said of him
that he could come nearer weighing q
steer with his eye than any man who
ever bought cattle in this section. He
used to buy them by the hundred and
drive them to Virginia in the fall. He
has bought thousands Of cattle without
paying q cent down on them. The
owners were satisfied to wait until he
returned from market for their money.
No man ever lost cent on him and he
has landed many thousand head of fat
cattle during the many yesrs he was
engaged in the business. He began as
a boy and used to go on foot and help
drive the cattle to Virginia. Later he
began buying and continued to do so
until age prevented him from undergo
ing the hard strain of the work.
He is hearty and strong for one of
his years and his many friends will
wish for him many more birthdays of
The same happy kind as the last one.

BARN BURNED.
j. j. Beyers Loses Barn. Feed and Span
Mules Sunday Night.

The barn of J. J. Beyers was burnee
at bis home near Lantana, Sunday
night about eight o'clock. A consider
able quantity of hay. over SO bushels
of corn and team of mules were
burned. The mules were gotten out of
the burning barn. but were IN such a
badly burned condition that they had
to be killed. The loss to Mr.. Beyers
is close to $1,000. The barn was built
new last fall and cost close to $500.
When the fire was discovered by the
family the barn was so completely en-
veloped IN flames that it was impossi.
BILE to save anything. The team of
mules were gotten out but their eyes
were burned out and otherwise so bad
ly burned that they were killed. The
harness belonging to the team was also
lost. Mr.. Beyers had only one team.
Every indication points to it having
been freddy some evil-mipded person.
But why they should inflIcr such loss
on MIR. Beyers is past unders tanding
as he Is q quiet. industrious and honest
man. a good neighbor and molests no
person.
It will be remembered that q few
months ago stick of dynamite ex-
ploded in a stump that had been placed
in the fire in the home of Mr.. Beyers
and as result Mrs. Beyers was very |
seriously injured and that her life was
almost despaired OF and it feared she
would lose one eye. However she has
almost recovered and the eye also. but
this disaster coming as it did has
shocked her to such IN extent that SER
ous conditions may result.
Mrs. w. M. Seiby, sister of Mrs.
Beyerss was m rown ~aondaN circulat-
ng petition IN favor of Mr.. Beyers
md she secured several dollars. Mr..
Beyers is well known here and respect
I'd by all who know him. HIS loss is
ieeply regre tied by all.
