The need for the Red Cross a
broad is but greater for the dis

France has been going on since the
first month of the war. The Red
Cross Commission in France has
built great, extensive organization
In people and material, to assure
that our men will have every care
the Red Cross can give them.

In Memory Of Mr.. E. @. Curtin.

Just as the silent hour of mid
night came and the entering in of
the neaw year of 1918, the spirit of
Mr.. e. G. Curtin, one of our good
pioneer citizens, was waited onward
with the closing year. Mr.. Curtin
remembered this city when it was
wilderness and he helped to build
the first blacksmith shop in this city
and 1t was near where tho courthouse
now stands. He followed this trade
until he was physically unfit for bust
ness.
The good, honorable life thot he
lived would have well represented
the good character so beautifully de-
scribed in Longfellow's Village
Blacksmith, for honesty was always
first with this venerable gentleman.
He helped to survey the M. g. 0.
Railroad which passes thru this city,
and helped in many ways that make
our little city a desirable place to
live, and with the exception of about
four years absence he has been a
citizen of this place all his life.
When the Civil war was declared
he was one of the first to enligt as
a volunteer and fought all during
this war. He was in the battle of
Shiloh and Chattanooga.
He was married to Miss Belle
Verhine in 1866, and this faithful
little wife cared for him tenderly in
his declining years. If he had lived
until the 18th of January they would
have been married fifty-two years.
About two years ago they celebrated
their fiftieth anniversary. OF this
union eight children were born, only
five survie, with nine grandchildren
and one great grandchild. Mr.. Cur
lin is also survived by one brother,
Mr.. Seth Curtin, of Hickman, Ky.
Mr.. Curtin professed faith in Christ |
several years ago and was a daily |
student OF the Bible.
To the devoted wife. children and
brother, we extend deep sympathy
and direct them to higher power
for consolation in their sorrow, to
Him who has promised not to leave
them comfortless.

Death of Mrs. Morris Beasley.

Mrs. Willie Jordan Beasley, wife
of Morris Beasley, died at home in
the vicinity of Jordan Sunday, Jan.
6, 1918.
Mrs. Beasley was born at Gallatin,
Sumner County, Tenn, Feb. 16, 1862.
In 1878 the family moved to Union
City, and here she was married to
Mr.. Beasley Dec. %, 1880. Three
children blessed the union, two of
whom are living Mrs. Cassie Byrn
and Gilbert Beasley.
Mrs. Beasley was for thirty-fiye
years member of the Methodist
Church, connected here with the
Pleasant Valley congregation. She
was woman of domestic graces and
christian virtues, beloved by those
with whom she was associated and
held in the warmest affection by the
ties of kinship. She is mourned by
an aged mother, husband, three
sisters and three brothers and two
dear children.
Services were conducted by the
pastor, Rev. G. T. Sellars, and the
remains were taken to Beulah Gene
terry for interment.
Sad indeed to relate that Mr.. Beas-
ley is confined in a sick room with
pneumonia and could not attend the
funeral.
Mrs. Beasley is also survived by a
family of brothers and sisters as fol-
lows: James, John, Charles, Mrs.
John Sheffield, Mrs. l.. j. Newton and
Mrs. VIM. Pruett.
