The news comes from Nashville
that Attorney T. j. Tyne has been
appointed general counsel for the
great Dupont Powder Works being
erected near that city. While Mr..
Tyne has long been known as one
of the leading lawyers of the State,
several of our people feel especial
gratitude toward him because of
the fact that it was he who made
the fight in Davidson county for the
late Judge John M. Taylor, when
that distinguished citizen of Hen
derson county was first nominated
for a seat on the then court of
Chancery Appeals. Personally we
know Mr.. Tyne to be one of the
most lovable and admirable of men
and we are proud of any honor that
may come to him.

AGED LADY PASSES TO HER REWARD

Mary Ellen Galloway, daughter OF
Matthew j. and Martha N. Gala
way, was born in Henderson county
Nov. IS, 1882, and passed away
April 18th, 1918, at the home of her
son, Jesse Wheatley, near Palestine
church, five miles South of Lexine-
ton. While she had recently been
quite i'll, her death was unexpected
at the time, as she was thought to
be improving until a short time be-
fore her demise.
She was first married to Sion Ell.
kins, Jan. 1, 1852, and to that un-
ion four children were born, name
ly: Billie, Greed, Dee" and Aman-
da (Mrs. Will Odle) and II the four
but one survives, D. L. ("Dee"), of
Crockett county, who was present
at his mothers funeral.
She was married to Samuel j.
Wheatley Jan. 16, 1857, and the
two children born to that union,
Robert and Jesse, both survive.
Unfortunately, Robert was away
from home when the rather sudden
death Of his mother occurred and
was unable to get home to her fun
eral but Bob Wheatley was de-
voted and affectionate son.
In her youth Mrs. Wheatley unit
ed with the Primitive Baptist church
and died in that faith. The remains
were inferred at Palestine on the
18th inst, Rev. Fleetwood Ball
officiating.
Mrs. Wheatley was a woman of
we'll balanced mind and positive
character, of indomitable energy
and pronounced domesticity. She
was of that type hard to replace in
these days. She met all of the re-
sponsibilities of life as became a
good, Christian woman and the af-
lection given her by her children
was noticeable. Those who loved
her are satisfied that her soul is
resting in peace.

hear with regret of the death of
their daughter, Mrs. Woodie Barton
Gibson, which suddenly occurred in
a Nashville hospital last Tuesday
morning at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Gibson
was but twenty-One years old and
her taking away when she had
barely reached womanhood, is a sad
blow indeed to her husband, other
relatives and many friends. Mrs.
Gibson was lovely and lovable
young womaa and in the calamity
of her death we grieve with her
loved ones and especially with the
father whom we have long claimed
as a friend and for whom we feel
