Jackson Tennessee

Dec. IL, 1915, after an illness of
eight days with pneumonia. Mrs.
Griggs was the widow of the late
George Grigss, who died Nov. 8,
1912, and with whom she had lived
As years.
She was a believer in the Chris
tan religion, but had never joined
any church.
The funeral service was held in
the Griggs home at two o'clock Wed
nesday afternoon, Elder j. C. Lewis
officiating, which service was fol-
lowed by interment in Lexington
Cemetery.
In the latter part Of 1884, when
we first lived on our present home
site, we lived in the house with
George and Mrs. Emeline Griges.
We discovered then that she was
an excellent woman. She was a
good wife, a splendid sister, a good
friend and many will long remem-
Der the many kindnesses received
at her willing hands. Mrs. Griggs
had lived almost the allotted time,
but we never find a time that we
are willing to lose such a woman as
all knew her to be.

PsEsIDENT WILSON AND STRIKES.

President Woodrow Wilson in his
address before the joint session Of
Congress at the Decembea term was
outspoken in his opposition to
strikes and the attacks of organized
labor upon the country's industrial
institution.
{ In touching upon the railroad
phase Of the question he says: The
country cannot and should not con-
sent to remain any longer exposed
to profound industrial disturbances
for lack Of additional means Of ar
bitration and Cancellation which the
congress can easily and promptly
supply.
Il would hesitate to recommend,
and I dare say the congress would
to act upon the suggestion should
| make it, that any man in any oc-
cupation skuld be obliged by law to
continue in an employment which
he desired to leave To pass a
law which forbade or prevented
the individual workman to leave. his
work before receiving the approval
of society in doing 50 would be to
adopt q new principle into our juris-
prudence which ! take 1t for granted
we are not prepared to introduce.
But the proposal that the operation
Of the railways of the country shall
not be stopped or interrupted by
the concerted action of organized
bodies Of men until public inveS-
tisation shall have been instituted
which shall make the whole ques-
ton at issue plain for the judge
ment of the opinion of the nation
Is not to propose any such principle.
1t is based upon the very different
principle that the concerted action
of powerful bodies Of men shall not
be permitted to stop industrial pro-
cesses Of the nation, at any rate be-
fore the nation shall have had an
opportunity to acquaint itself with
the merits of the case as between
employee and employer. time to
form its opinion upon an impartial
statement OF the merits, and oppor-
tunity to consider all practicable
means Of Cancellation and arbitra-
ton. 1t can and should be done
with a full and scrupulous regard
for the interests and liberties Of all
concerned as well as for the per-
manent interest Of society itself"

DO YOU REMEMBER ?

The coating of The Beautiful,
which came and covered the ample
bosom of Mother Earth after day
light yesterday Thursday morning,
was perhaps, the largest snow which
has fallen before Christmas since
that of the night of Nov. 18th, 1908,
which will be remembered as the
night on which R. H. Ward, who
had lived here, crossed the Ten
nessee river at Perryville and dis
appeared until his dead body was
found at a point below .Perryville
a month later. We trust that the
snow found all the people reason

almost every blackbird in the vicinity
was upon the newly opened ground
and close at the plowman's heels in its
eagerness to get the insects exposed
by the plow. Caterpillars and pupae
form the largest item of animal food

cent OF the food. The vegetable food
is practically contained in three items
fruit, and weed seeds. Grain,
mostly oats, amounts to "a per cent;
fruit, largely cherries. 4 per cent; and
weed seeds. not quite 9 per cent. The
grain is probably mostly wild. vol

He Had the Price.

Bill McCabes Poughkeepsie team
was playing the Kingston team one
day years ago, in the Atlantic league.
and guy named Fogarty was umpire.
In the ninth inning. with the score
tied, two of McCabe's men played out.
and as Bill had only one man extra.
he had to rush the bleacher seats to
find man to fill in. He drew big
hick, who said he couldn't play. but for
the fun could fill in. There were two
out at the time and the fans were ex-
cited.
Our hero, the hick, came to bat. He
drew three balls and the next one
across he picked over the left field
fence for homer. Instead OF running,
the fathead stood there while the
crowd howled itself mad. McCabe ran
out to him and yelled. Run, you boob,
rum" 81
The hick turned and faced Bill and
In slow voice drawled: mo. sir. I:

PRACTICAL RESULT IN RUSSIA.

Since the prohibition Of vodka the
price Of labor In Russia has gone up
in remarkable manner. says Prof! ].
Y. Simpson In the British Weekly.
"The peasant banks are full of money"
he tells US. "loans have been paid OF,
and agricultural implements pur-
chased on the installment plan have
been bought outright. Having sup
piled themselves with gramophones
and watches and new clothes. the
peasants now employ their money in
buying land and even securities, or
starting little businesses. One hundred
million roubles per month used to be
spent on vodka; today 1t remains in
the economy of peasant life.S o On all
hands. the people demand that 1t shall
be banished forever. The last speech
I heard In the duma was that of peas
ant delegate insisting that the perma-
nent prohibition of vodka be embodied
