Tucker sleepily announced that Mrs.

his tardy information, Mrs Tucker
fastened to the telephone and called
the Halliday ranch but the wires were
all down, and so the anxious little
woman decided that the teacher had
been unable to send word about her
change of Christmas plans, and went
about the trimming of the Tucker
Christmas tree with renewed activity.

gresham Mcclellan and Col, Eglae will

SAFE BLOWERS GET
S7OO AT NUTBUSH
ENTER STORE OF A. S. HIGGINS
AND SECURE MONEY
Money Kept by MIR. Higgins for Pay
Roll at Big Gin-RObbers Thought
to have Been in Automobile.
Sheriff Gone to Scene.

On Wednesday night of this week
robbers entered the store of AS. Hig-
gins located at Nut Bush, eleven miles
west of Brownsville, and robbed his
safe of $500. The safe was blown open.
The robbers succeeded in making their
escape without arousing anyone.
Thursday morning when the robbery
was discovered, several persons living
near the store remembered having
heard an automobile during the late
hours of the night, but as this is an
ordinary occurrence, they thought moth
ing of it.
After accomplishing their purpose
at Nut Bush, the thieves drove across
to Tibbs, six miles north-there they
took tire, several inner tubes and
other parts from DR.. Miller's car. 1t
is supposed that their object in going
to Tibbs was to rob the store of L. G.
Graves & Co., but something must
have caused them to change their
minds, for after securing the parts
from DR.. Miller's car, they drove west
and have not been heard from since.
Blood hounds were secured Thurs
day from Dyersburg and Sheriff Da-
Wis went to the scene with the hope of
tracking the thieves, but if the robbers
went to the scene in an auto, the dogs
can accomplish nothing.
Mr.. Higgins usually keeps several
hundred dollars in his safe at this sea-
son of the year for the purpose of
meeting the expenses of the big cotton
gin located there. The thieves must
have been familiar with this fact.

TO love and appreciats him throngs
bliss was taken to Johns Hopkins hos
pital, where every effort was made to
restore him to health, but the loving
ministrations were unavailing. With
out any apparent pain, he passed
peacefully away in the early hours of
the morning watch and went to be
with his savior. He was a great schol-
ar, a most excellent preacher, and a
glorious, companionable, Christian.
Everyone enjoyed his company from
the smallest child to the oldest man.
His chief interest-and this glirifed
his whole life-was the extension of
Christ's kingdom in the world. Ev-
erything good stirred his soul and
evoked speedy and generous responses.
At intervals he occupied every pulpit
in Brownsville. His message was al
ways clear, comforting and inspiring.
He graduated at Howard College, Ala,
at the age of nineteen, and two years
later graduated in the Southwestern
Baptist Theological Seminary at Lou
isville, KY, being he first graduate of
that institution. He then located at
Greenville, S. c., and was married the
same year to Miss Mary Mauldin of
that city, This happy couple had the
rare opportunity of celebrating their
golden wedding few years ago. Dur
ing the war DR.. Chambliss served as
chaplain in the Confederate army. He
was pastor of the First church,
Charleston, S. c., of Richmond, Va,
East Orange, N. j., and closed his pas
torate few years ago-after fifty
years of continuous service. Since his
retirement from the pastorate, he has
supplied in various cities, and occupied
the chair of Biblical instruction at Car
son Newman College in Jefferson City,
Tenn, where he was stricken with his
last illness. We can never forget the
impress of this devout man of God as
he poured out his very soul, as it
were, in his message. Religion, with
him, was a vital matter and Christ was
his personal Savior. His visits to us
were always joyous occasions, and
oh, how we shall miss him. His manly
! form and bearing will appear no more
ION our streets, but Brownsville has
had his touch and it suggested always
. the touch of the Master.

Haywood county is justly entitled to
