In Memory Of Infant.

On the eve of Nov. % the grim mes
senger that carries all our bodies to
the tomb entered the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. 9. Martin and claimed as its
victim the innocent. sinless, sweet lit
tie babe. Edith Elizabeth. This beau
tiful child was only spared to brighten
the home about eight months and yet
her stay was long enough that she en-
deared herself to the family in q way
they are loath to give her up and the
home is shrouded in gloom, an aching
void this world with all its pleas ur
and wealth can never fill or remove.
but there are comforts, consultations
and "peaca which passeth all unlel-
standing in the gospel of Christ and
the hope Of a home where sin and
death cannot enter, where graves are
unknown and separations do never
come. By faith we can see this happy
home, which necessitated Christ's 60
ing away to prepare for all the re-
deemed of earth. We should love the
Lord all the more. be purer. more
prayerful, more faithful to Christ, who
in loving tenderness when suffering
poverty, sorrows and sadness in a
world of sin, separations and death,
said as he pressed sweet little child.
rem to his pure, loving breast, "Suffer
little children to cOme unto me, and
forbid them not, for of such is the
kingdom Of heaven" We should re-
joice, even in the deepest depths Of
sorrows overshadowed with the dark
est clouds, tdat our loved ones are not
lost but gone before, and in going
they miss all the sorrows of earth, and
gain forever all the joys Of heaven,
and if we are faithful unto death we
will surely meet our loved ones whom
the angels have taken home. Little
Edith can never nestle on her moth
er's breast again, humming herself to
return from school, and in a number
Of baby ways TIL them how che loved
them, kissing them with her dewy
lips, never more. She has gone to
that happy home from whence no one
has ever returned, but we can go to
meet our loved and own. Methinks
the meeting will be 60 sweet we shall
then forget all the sad separations
that have tried and troubled US here.
Everything was done for this suffering
little one that loving hands could do
to alleviate its sufferings ana pr0long
it's stay with w, but all in vain, she
must go home. A happy little angel
nov lowering around the great white
throne of God paid the debt we will
sooner or latar be called on TO pay.
Now, the important thing for US to d.
termne is, since our loved ones cannot
come to u9 we can go to taem, and in
preparing to live we must prepare to
die and live in deatnless land forev-
er, fer how
"Vain is all beneath the skies,
How transient every earthly bliss,
How slender all the fondest ties
That binds Us to a. world like this. -

SENT BACK
TO BRUsHY
Brown and Healthy conViCts
Leave Suck Creek.
ONE ADVOCATES USING
ALL FELONS ON ROADS
Squad of ITS Transferred With
out Mishap From StOCkade
to Railroad Train.

Brown as the autumn leaves
they left behind in Suck Creek
gorge, ITS convicts Sunday at
noon were loaded on a train at
the c.. S. crossing after a trip up
the river on the steamer J. N.
Trigg and last night they slept
in prison beds at Brushy noun
tain for the first timr in four
months.
The convicts were healthy and
happy. Some were glad to be
leaving the outdoor work, and
others were sorry, but all were
quick to admit it had done them
good. The physician in charge
of the squad said there had been
less sickness than he had ever
known in so large body of pris-
oners During the entire four
months that the men were at
work grading the Suck Creek
road not one was incapacitated
for three consecutive days, and
few lost even a single day.
One prisoner, a big negro from
West Tennessee, told a Times re-
porter that he had served more
than -four years of his sentence
at Brushy mountain and that he
had not spent a well day there in
three years. At the Suck Creek
camp he was we'll every day, he
sai1, and enjoyed working. EFF
don't get out, " he said, (which
amt likely, knows one niggah
dat wants to work on de roads
next year"
The steamer Trigg left Chatta-
nooga shortly after daylight Sun
day morning for Suck Creek. On
her bridge as she plowed her way
through the dense fog stood Capt.
Watt" Wilkey, head OF the
Chattanooga Navigation com
pany, and best-known of local
river pilots. Capt. ". NJ. Nix
on, general manager Of the
Brushy Mountain prison, went
down on the boat, and took
charge Of the transfer of the
prisoners.
At Suck creek landing tha
men were waiting with all NOV
able stuff in the camp packed
and the loading started imme-
diately upon the arrival of the
boat. Nine armed guards
marched the prisoners onto the
lower deck of the boat, after
which TRUSTEES loaded the freight.
A long delay followed while some
of the prisoners equipment came
up from the stockade. AS Capt.
Wilkey expressed it, We waited
an hour and a half for an old
flint lock wagon to come out of
the woods with 60 cents worth Of
niger clothes. "
Although it had been expected
that the Loaf would reach Chat
tanooga on its upriver run about
S a. m.. it did not arrive until af-
ter 1890. II good-sized crowd
was waiting at the wharf. 7 ade
up largely of relatives and
friends Of the prisoners who
hoped to be given opportunity for
a greeting. There were a num-
ber of Hamilton county prisoners
on the boat, the best known be- ,
ing Jim Riley serving a murder
sentence for killing eX-policeman
Bill Holston. Six new prisoners !
were taken on the boat here, and

Jail had to be telephoned.
AS the Trigg pulled away from
the wharf a negro quartet, led by
Harrison McNeely, former eleva-
tor boy in The Times and the City
Hall buildings, who is serving a
sentence for murder, sang
"Brushy Mountain Bound" to
the delight of the dozens of color
ed men and women that stood on
the bank of the river.
The trip to the c., N. o. & T.
P. railway bridge was made in
an hour, and shortly after noon
the Trigg tied up. A special train
was awaiting several yards up the
track. Prisoners were unloaded
in squads of sixteen, with one
armed guard in charge of each
squad, and there were no attempts
at escape. TRUSTEES again took
charge of the freight and in
thirty minutes the entire party
was loaded on the train and ready
to leave tor Petros. The con-
victs were not given dinner until
they were on the tlain. and they
were more concerned over the
fifteen or twenty minutes delay
of the noon-day meal than they
were over their removal from
Suck Creek camp to Brushy
mountain.
A new record was established
by the convict force for outdoor
work, in the way of escapes.
But one man sent to the Suck
creek camp was missing when
the prisoners were counted after
they had been loaded on the
train yesterday afternoon. He
was trusty who went after
water several months ago and to
date has not returned. Several
tried to get away, but were quick
ly caught. The three trained
bloodhqRads that were kept at
the camp did not got sufficient
exercise TO keep them from get
ting fat. This record, and that
for efficiency in road work which
was set, in due in great measure
to Assistant Warden l.. B. Par
rish, according to those familiar
with the work Of the past four
months. Mr.. Parrish was in
charge of the big convict force
and he won not only the praise
of Capt. W. N. Nixon and Of
county officials, but the respect
and confidence of the prisoners
as well.
The entire trip of yesterday
was made without the use of a
chain or a shackle on any of the
prisoners. There were only nine
guns on the boat, and several of
the guards carried nothing more
dangerous than small hickory
sticks they had cut in the woods.
Capt. Nixon is we'll pleased
with the experiment of using con-
Wet labor IN road work in this
{ unity, and will be heartily in
fu"orof making further contracts
with county officials. Judge Cum
mings and Engineer Br2an are
satisfied with the results
and are convinced chat the cOun-
try got much benefit from its
AS for the prisoners themsel-
YES, they realize THAI the outdoor
work was of much benefit to
them. One Of the more intelli .
gent convIcts said yesterday that .
in his opinion the state would
soon be using all its prisoners on
road work.
1T is the sensible thing" he
said, and everybody knows it.
What most people cannot under
stand is why it has not been done
ong ago. If all people could see
he difference in that bunch back I
here now and four months ago
hey would be unanimously in
favor Of working all convicts out
.oors."

RETAIL GROCERS WANT
ENTItA TAX On IN. AIRY

The Retail Merchants Association is
satisfied with the schedule as already
proposed The Retail GroCcrs' Asso-
citation is advocating Il tax OF 20 cents
on capital, with AN additional tax Of
mill on real estate and tangible" per
Sonal property. The Richmond Grain
Exchange favorS Il tax OF Sl5 on tho
first $1,000 of purchases and 81 on thu,
second $1,000. which would give "a
minimum tax OF $50 OIL merchants
whose purchases arc not ia excess OF
$1,000. For all in excess Of 5000 the
grain dealers favor si25 up to $3.50
600, and above that 81 on each $1,000.
The retail merchants and the groccrS
have both agreed to accept this az "a
compromise, although the latter wish
II understood that they still favor the
small tax on capital and the additions
al levy on real and personal property.
In some quarters II is urged that
the present system OF taxing mcr-
chants capital at sl.i0 on each 500
employed should not be abandoned.
Judge u .. Richardson, OF the IIust-
inrs Court. has ruled that this tax Is
Illegal: that IN" State law prohibits
local tax on capital in excess OF 30
cents. The matter has been appealed
