POUGHKEEPSIE. July THE
hearings IN the Stillman divorce case
we're adjourned this afternoon unth

the following week and adjourn over
the month OF August. Mr.. Sullman's
attorney protested that they wanted
to go ahead with five hearings a week

Stillman It was these lawyers who
defeated Col, Rand's questions by OBJ

garded as highly significant OF Mr..
Sttillman's attitude toward the public
criticism to which he has been sub
jected
as 1t not a fact that before You
started this action, your wife APP
preached you and asked that YOU
consent to give her "A divorce?" asked
Mr. Rand, and when Judge Gleason
sustained the vehement objections OF
Mrs. Stillman's counsel he asked the
following with the sam" result:
did you not consent to allow her
70 get divorcc?"
did YOU not then consult your at
torncys and learn from them that
permitting her to get divorce would
automatically legitimlle the child

Did you not then and for that
reason, start the present action"

A REPRODUCED OBITUARY.

The following was discovered by
Mr.. E. G. Hooks, few days ago, in
an old book, where it had been placed
many years ago by the perents of
either Mr.. Hooks or his wife.
For the West Tennessee Wing.
They fought like brave men, long and
well,
They piled the ground with Yankees
slain,
They conquored-but Columbus fell,
Bleeding in his country's name.
Christopher Columbus Cawthon, the
son of John L. and Martha Cawthon,
Mifflin, Tenn, was born Sept. 9Th,
1912, and died Nov. 7th, 1861, aged
IS years, two months and 20 days.
Our much esteemed young friend
fell with the full armor on in the bat
tie opposite Columbus, KY, fighting
nobly and valiantly in defense of his
country. He left numerous and ex-
tensive circle of friends and acquain-
tances who deeply sympathize and
mourn with his bereaved parents for
his untimely death. 1t is indeed a
heavy stroke, for he was a universal
favorite with us ALL And those only
who know him best could appreciate
his superior worth. Our young friend
was one of the first to volunteer in
the Forked Deer Company, the first
company that Henderson county sent
out to meet the foe. He held the of
flee of End Sergeant, which office he
dice hor nad with hnno~ ~ b;,,cnIf o,.J
to the entire satisfaction of the COM
pany. He fell early in the action and
breathed his last in the arms Of his
brave comrades that picked him up
when they first saw him fall. He re-
ceived death wound from an ill-fat-
ed musket ball, which entered his neck
just below the chin and supposed to
lodge in the shoulder. He died almost
without a struggle, and without ut
tering word. He died covered all
over with glory but he has left void
among his parents and friends at
home that can never be filled. He
had many aimable traits of character
courteous and polite to every one;
with cheerful spirits and smile on
his countenance, he never failed to
awaken interest even among stran-
gers. He was remarkably kind and
polite to the ladeis and an especial
favorite with all the "girls," for they
all knew kit" and indeed in him
they had true friend. He was du-
tiful son, and very affectionate to his
brothers and sisters. While he was
in camp it was his constant care to
keep his parents from being uneasy
about him. He wrote very often, and
his letters were encouraging and
cheerful, and would always say, ma
don't be uneasy, | will take care OF
myself" But alas! he has been cut
down from among US, and the high
hopes and bright anticipations of his
fond parents have been blighted. He
was indeed a young man of bright
promise; was the pride and boast OF
the vicinity in which he lived, and
would have been the future stay and
solace of his parents declining years
1t is sad bereavement to them, but
they must bear it, as he has just paid
the debt that we must all pay sooner
or later. Peace be to his shades.
