the main reason for the peoples dis
trust of their party as a governing in

At the entrance to the premises of
the Stoney Mountain Company, in Hen
derson County, lie the remains OF
Walter Sigmon, a Federal soldier who
was buried there near the close of the
Civil war. All efforts to locate his
people have proven fruitless. The
grave, marked by a simple slab, pre-
sents a solemn appearance to visitors
passing that way and the Company
feels that removal of the remains to
a cemetery would be proper. The
state law requires that notice to re-
latives shall be given before grave
may be disturbed and a special act
authorizing removal is found to be
necessary. On request of representa-
tives of the Stoney Mountain Company,
Representative Brownlow Jackson has
introduced a bill authorizing removal
of the remains of the long deceased
soldier to the cemetery of the Metho-
dist Church at Eillgirt.
Another bill by Mr. Jackson would
authorize the tax collector Of Hender-
son county to collect back taxes for
the two previous years. He has also
introduced a bill to allow Confede-
