for freedom, and in battle he went
over the top three times. We were
sorry to give him up but God knew
best. He leaves broken-hearted
father and mother, four brothers and
five sisters and host of friends to
mourn his going away. May the Lord
be with his parents and brothers and
sisters and prepare them to meet him.
He was a good boy and always met
his many friends with a smile. He
was a flower plucked here to bloom
in heaven. Parents, be patient to the
end and be ready to meet him in
heaven. He will be sadly missed in the
home and there is a vacant chair that
can never be filled, but l am sure
heaven has been made brighter by his
entrance there. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. j. L. Smooth
erman in the presence of a large
gathering of sorrowing friends. Fare
well, Writ, farewell, we have said our
last farewell till we meet again be-
yond the river. A precious one from
US has gone; voice you loved is still,
a place is vacant in your home that
can never be filed. Evening shadows
are falling and you are sitting all
alone, in your heart comes a longing
to see him in that heavenly home

In Sweet Memory.

The death angel visited the home
of James Dillehay and took from them
their beloved son, Lon. He leaves a
mother, father, three sisters and six
brothers. Weep not for him, dear ones
he is waiting at the beautiful gate
to bid you welcome home He called
his sisters to his bedside and told
them that he was ready to go, and
sang a song, 1 Am Going Home to
Jesus. Weep not for him, Hershall, for
he is only asleep and waiting on the
beautiful shore for you. His brothers
are heart-broken to know they are not
to be with him on earth no more, but
will meet him with the sweet angel
band. God saw best to take this young
man home to live with Him. Why
should such a flower be taken from
US I? There is a vacant chair this cruel
world can never fill. We would say to
his loved ones, weep not, for he is
only sleeping. Mother and father,
grieve not for your loved one, some
day it will be so sweet to meet him
in that beautiful place. This young
man was engaged to be married the
4th Sunday in May. We would say to
his companion, meet with your lover
to part no more. Tis sad and it hurts
US to give our darling one up, but we
will meet him some sweet day.
A FRIEND

IN MEMORY

On Feb. 13, 1921, the death angel
visited the home of Winston Walden
and took away his beloved mother,
Mrs. Mollie Walden She was a good
and faithful mother to her children.
She was 62 years, months and two
days of age and was loved by all who
knew her. She leaves six children,
a brother and sister, and host of
friends and relatives to mourn her
going away. She has gone on to the
bright mansion above to her husband
where there is no sad parting. She
will be sadly missed by all who knew
her. We cannot understand why God
saw fit to take her but that blessed
Book tells US that we'll understand
it better by and by. The funeral SER
vices were conducted at the Caney
Fork Baptist church by H C. Adkins
and the remains were laid to restS in
the family graveyard at P l.. Vaden's.
A precious enc from us has gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A chair is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
By one who loved her,

MethOdists To Erect
Big School at Crossville

The establishment of high school
at Crossville for the benefit of the
mountain people in that section has
been undertakn by the Tennessee con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, as special plan grow
ing out of the Christian education
movement. The school will be fully
equipped to meet the needs of the
community in which it is to be located
The Tennessee conference mission
board from its centenary fund has al
ready made an appropriation of $780,
600 toward this object and $15O,0OO
has ben put in the askings of the Ten
nessee conference from the $33 ,OO0-
600 fund of the Christian education
movement, to be paid from this years
campaign.
The governor of the State has added
his approval of the projected school
by signing the act authorizing Cum
berland county to appropriate $4,000
from the county funds to aid in. its
establishment
The school will be the educational
center of that section, the plan being
to erct branch schools from time to
time in sections where the public
schools are inadequate. The Cross
vile school will cover a full high
school course and will also include vo-
cational departments of farming,
dairying, domestic science, domestic
art, commercial branches and normal
training for teachers and leaders. A
course of Bible study and readings
will be special feature of the school
and none but Christians of the highest
character will be employed as teach
ers.
The building will be located on an
eminence overlooking the Dixie High
way and will command fine view.
The school will be two and half
miles from Crossville, near the Ten
nessee Central railroad The farm of
APO acres, the gift of public spirited
citizens of Crossville, lies along the
Big Obey river and is very fertile.
1t is adapted to growing berries, cher
ries, apples, grapes and garden vege-
tables and is also fine for cattle graz
ing.
The board of trustees are planning
to begin building at an early date. The
outcome of this project fostered by the
Christian education movement is ex-
pected to yield far reaching results
beth in material advancement and
spiritual uplift

In Memory

On the evening of Feb. Is, 1921, the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Josh Shoemake
was overshadowed with sorrow when
the soul of their loving daughter,
Neva, took its flight and left her body
cold and lifeless in death. Neva suf-
fered the horrors of death until God
in His wisdom called her spirit out of
this world of suffering to live with
Him. Neva was a sweet girl and
loved by all who knew her. We can
not understand why one in the very
bloom of life, surrounded by love and
happiness, without thought of sor-
row, should be taken from US. She
leaves a father, mother and two sis
tiers, besides a host of relatives and
friends to mourn her going away. But
would say to the loved ones that
there is only one way to go in this
dark hour of sorrow and God help you
to realize that there is only one way
to live if you expect to see dear Neva
again and that is to live for God.
Neva is sadly missed in school and
everywhere else for she made friends
everywhere she went. Many friends
came from far and near to pay the
last tribute of respect to this dear girl
and to look once more on the face that
would never welcome them into the
horne from which she was taken.
How sad and lonely are the mo-
ments at her home.
Her schooImate,

Great Revival At
Brady, Texas
Texas Christian Advocate)

(Texas Christian Advocate)
Our three weeks revival closed last
night, Feb. goth, with the house pack
ed to the limit. Our pastor, Brother
S. c.. Dunn, for three weeks preached
more than an average of two sermons
a day and to say he is "a wonder is
mildly expressing it, for you should
only know what a feast we had. AS
the Brady Sentinel, our home paper,
expressed it last week: "He is at the
top in the evangelistic line" 1t is the
opinion of the leading men and women
of Brady, both of our own and other
denominations, that he is second to
none in preaching and directing re-
vival. We had something like go con-
versions and 43 gave their names for
membership in the Methodist church,
80 of whom have been received and
others will come in next Sunday.
Many have joined other churches of
the city. The town has not had such
an awakening in years. At eleven
o'clock Sunday morning the pastor
took a collection fer the Conference
Assessments and it is hoped that the
check for the entire amount for the
year will be in the hands of the treas
urer by the time this reaches the Ad-
vocate, as $3.50 was subscribed in
few minuts and the rest of it is rapidly
coming in. At the evening services
the people gave their preacher 1925
for his hard weeks work, which all
feel he justly earned. During all the
meeting the family altar and daily
Bible reading and special service, as
directed by the Education Movement,
were put before the people. Our
young people will organize the Ep-
worth League next Wednesday night
and definite effort will be made in
their behalf. Sunday School is grow
ing and doing fine, and we are pray
erful and hopeful. To God be all the
glory, now and ever more.-Wilson d.

j. S. FAVOR|TE IN
DAVIS CUP TODAY
Tilden and Johnston Picked "a
Beat Japanese Players
in Singles
COURTS IN GREAT SHAPE

Forest Hills, Sept. 2.-America viii
start its battle to retain the famous
Davis Cup today when the defenders
oppose the Japanese team on the courts
Of the West Side Tennis Club.
To William M. Johnston. Little Bill
Of the West, goes the honor of opening
the historic international matches. AZ
2 o'clock this afternoon he will face
Ichiya Kumagae. the star Of the Orient
Two hours later William T. Tilden. "a.
the Big Bill Of the East. will take on
Zcnzo Shimidzu, the other half OF the
japanese team.
Tilden and Johnston. the kings Of the
American tennis court. are the ones
who were responsible for bringing the
cup to this country from Australia.
Last year, these two played in both the
singles and doubles against the Aus
traiasian champions. And today they
are favored to win enough matches to
keep the trophy in these United States.
Final Matches Monday
However, Tilden and Johnston will
play only in the singles in this tourney.
The doubles play will be put up to the
ability Of Il. Norris Williams. I'd. and
Watson NJ. Washburn. who will meet
Kumagae and Shimidzu tomorrow
afternoon. This will be the only match
played tomorrow. The final contests
will be held over until Monday when
Tilden will meet Kumagae and Johns
ton will take on Shimidzu.
America is the outstanding favorits,
and the Japs are conceded no better
than fighting chance. Kumagae and
Shimidzu have played for some time In
this country and they cannot be com.
60 vnhncfpr -I TElJap Ao,,s.
Their best chance for victory is in the
doubles, but, It is believed that America
will make 1 clean sweep in the first
three matches, which will decide the
issue.
The japanese pair, playing both the
singles and doubles, won the right to
face America in the challenge round by
eliminating eleven other nations. It is
the first time that the Oriental nation
has been represented in q Davis Cup
tourney.
Large Crowd Expected
The courts are in splendid condition
and the largest crowd in the history OF
the game is expected.
Both the American and japanese
players are in great shape. Walter
Mace. the former Yale trainer, who has
had charge of the United States four,
pronounces his charges in the best Of
shape. They have been resting with
o ~ light practice since the completion
O the national doubles championship at
Boston last week.
Kumagae and Shimidzu also have
been resting up for the Davis Cup chal.
lenge round since their victory over
Australasia in the final at Newport
last week.
