MRS. KEZIAH DONNELLY LONG

Mrs. Kehiah Donnelly Long, wife Of
w. B. Long, died last Saturday, the
18th inst, at her home at Middleburg
in the old l4th district, having reach
ed the extraordinary age Of 92 years
2 months and four days-and her tax
ing away was not the result of the
infirmaties of age, notwithstanding
she had reached within seven and O
half years of'the century mark.
Kehiah Donnelly Bennett, born in
Decatur county and was first married
to o. c. Milan, by whom she bore
two children, one of whom survives
o. c. Milan, Of the old 14th district.
To her marriage with Mr.. Long
three children were born, two surviv-
ing in the persons of w. B. Long, of
Beacon, Decatur county, and Ada,
wife of W. W. Rogers, present trus-
tee of Henderson county.
Mrs. Long leaves II grandchildren
in the connection of her first husband
and her son, ". B. Long, of Beacon,
has ten children.
Many years ago she joined the
SOutHeIH MttnoulsI CuufCH az Odh
Grove, near Middleburg and there her
remains were laid to rest last Sun
day, Rev. Walter Alexander, of Sha-
dy Hill, officiating in the service.
Mrs. Long was a remarkable wo-
man in many ways and as stated
above, her death was not resultant
from old age, but from flux and COM
plications with which she was i'll but
little more than a week. She was Of
much help to her husband in business,
her energy had no limitations and
she was scrupulously honest in her
dealings, expecting the same from
those with whom she traded or who
traded with her. At the age Of ninety
years and even later, she had the
vigor Of well-preserved woman Of
seventy years. Even after her mar
riage to Mr.. Long she taught school
and not few in her section owed
what education they had to instruc-
tion and discipline received from her.
No county often produces such a wo-
man as Mrs. Long.

RAILROAD COMMISSION
GOES REPUBLICAN

For the first time in its history the
Tennessee Railroad Commission, now
known as the railroad and public util-
ities commission, is controlled by Re-
publcans. Following the death Of
Col. B. A. Enloe, chairman of the
commission, Gov. Taylor appointed
w. N. Beasley, of Halls, to fill the
vacancy and on last Friday the COM
mission met and Julian Campbell, of
Lebanon, the Republican member who
was elected by the people, TO succeed
Col. Enloe as Chairman. Mr.. Camp
bell is said to possess personality
which makes him personally popular
but just how Beasley will pan out re-
mains to be demonstrated in the fu-
ture. Beasley is the Republican nom
inee for the natural vacancy to occur
on the commission by expiration of
the term of Gen1 Hannah, next No
vember, and that fact had its weight
with Gov. Taylor in making the APP
pointment.

SOME THINGS THE GOVERNOR
FORGOT.

Governor ALI Taylor not only We
toed the action Of the last Legislature
but held up his hands in horror and
quoted the constitution when the
General Assembly appropriated ad-
ditional expense money" which was
added to their salaries anoth-
er name. In the main we agreed
with Governor Taylor and riotwith-
standing the appropriation Of addi-
|tional money to the members Of the
/ Legislature mad '-be1fI spasseds% upon
and approved by the Supreme court,
we thought the members should re-
fuse the appropiation--bIt in con-
nection with the matter of strict ad-
herance to the letter of the constitu-
ton, we remember an incident which
the governor seems to have forgot
ten. The constitution explicitly states
that the Governor shall be paid sal
ary of FOUR THOUSAND DOL
LARS A YEAR, just as plainly as it
states that members of the General
Assembly shall receive $4.00 per
diem for seventy-five days-yet the
governor has been given in addition
a mansion" in which to live and the
sum of $500 per year to maintain
that mansion. We do not remember
to have seen any sort of kick from
Governor Taylor against that walk
ing rough shod over the constitution
-an action, which, so far as we know,
has never been affirmed by the Su-
preme court-the end Of the law in
Tennessee. It may be that the good
governor just simply forgot it-so it
might be we'll for him to reread the
constitution under the Kipling idea
"Lest We Forget"

SUMMER SCHOOL.

The first term of the University of
Tennessee Summer Session closed
July goth. 1t has been one of the most
successful terms ever held, with
large student body of the serious ear
nest type Of students who came for
tn ework. The graduate students
alone numbered above forty. Nearly
all students are working toward de-
grees and many Of them will there
fore stay the entire session of twelve
weeks.
Seventy-four counties of the State
Of Tennessee and twenty-five states
other than Tennessee have represent
atives in the student body.
Each term of six weeks enables tn,
student to make six college hours of
credit toward a degree. The second
term opens July 2lst, and at that
time new enrollment is made SO that
persons not attending the first term
may yet enter for the last six weeks,
receiving credit for that time.

MRS. EMELINE ELIZABETH
MARTIN.

Emeline l.. Mclean, daughter Of s.
d. and Caroline Watson Mclean, was
born in Lawrence county, Tennessee,
April 10th, 1874, hence at the time Of
her death which occurred at Hinson
Springs, Wednesday of last week, Ju-
ly 18th, at 12:40 o'clock p. m, had
reached the age Of 7S years, 3
months and 27 days. R--~%
She was married in Lawrence coun-
ty to ]. Carson Martin, Feby 18th,
1863 and at the time of her death had
been married nearly go years. The
Martins came to Henderson county
when our subject had been married
few years-in fact at that time she
was the mother of two children. To
her union with Mr.. Martin four chill
dren, one son and three daughters,
were born--Frank, who died a few
months ago, Matte, wife of Feek
Hart, who died few years ago, Mrs.
Hosea Trip and Mrs. Jim Odle, the
last two living here.
Mrs. Martin professed religion at
age of about sixteen years and join
ed the Cumberland Presbyterian
church in Lawrence county. When
they moved to Henderson county she
transferred her church letter to Mt.
Gilead and there Il remained until her
death.
Something like thirty years ago
Mrs. Martin was stricken with par
tial paralysis and during the remain
der of her life there were five more
recurring strokes, the last coming
without warning on the Saturday
night before her death when she was
about her household work. In spite
of the fact that Mrs. Martin had to
60 on crutches and for several years
was confined to a rolling chair, she
continued ito do her own cooking and
household work, in spite of these han
dicaps, for her energy and industry
were boundless. She was the person.

who read widely and whose mind was
retentive. Through many years it was
our pleasure to furnish her books.
magazines and whatever was
at hand to read, for she was our
friend and to oblige her was always
a pleasure. We feel that we held her
liking and confidence and in her loss
we sympathize with her surviving
family in way that could not be had
not that friendship existed.
The remains were inferred last
Friday at Mt. Gilead, Elder T. c. Jow-
ers officiating in the service and the
preacher knew her well enough to pay
proper tribute to her character as a
Christian woman and in all the rela-
tions of life. Mrs. Martin earned
great reward and has gone to enjoy
It.
Almost to the very last she was So
licitous about her husband, who some
time ago had the misfortune to fall
from barn loft and break one of his
legs. The aged husband, in his ire
parable loss has the peculiar sympa-
thy of the people throughout the
county, for he, as was his wife, is
widely known.

A TENNESSEAN IN
A TEXAS TOWN.

Several citizens West of Lexington
have received copies of the Deport,
Lamar county, Texas, Times, giving
an account Of great Fourth of July
celebration in that town. The papers
were sent by one Mr.. L. M. Barham,
Familiarity known in the Juno vicin-
ity as "Em"-from which place he
moved to Texas many years ago,
located in Lamar county and now has
the honor of being the mayor Of the
progressive town of Deport. These
papers coming from Mayor Barham,
when exhibited at Sand Ridge last
Sunday caused citizens who were
present to recall the famous debate
in that very school house between
Frank Hays and EN- Barham--the re-
suit of which debate was said to be
the cause Of EMS" migration to the
Lone Star State. On the occasion
the question under debate was "Re-
solved. that Woman has more influ-
.ence than money over the mind Of
IzS6 = Bax1a1i1 =1epreSentsfi money
while Frank Hays chsmpioned the
wonderland Barham seemed to have
the victory until Hays said in his
speech, "Why, good God Almighty.
If you love money so much better,
why don't you tie up sack of it and
take it to bed with you instead Of
your wife" This defeat is said to
have utterly crushed Barham. Many
years later he came back on a visit,
met Frank Hays and said to him,
I"You don't know me, do you" to
which Frank replied "You bet / do"
"Who am II" said Barham. "Joe Fuz-
zy Manley" said Frank-and Barham
left him without identifying himself
We hope to have Mayor Barham come
TO our Henderson Home Coming this
fall.

Savannah. Tenn, July 6, 1922

Savannah, Tenn, July 6, 1922.
Dear Comrade:
We, the old Confederate soldiers OF
Hardin County, your brothers in the
struggle of long ago, tender you our
love and best wishes.
We have in mind another labor
which we want you to help us per-
form and we will be glad if you will
write us you will help.
The son of one of our Comrades
wants to represent US in Congress,
and we want you to help us give him
the nomination in August and elect
him in the general election in Novem-
Der.
We knew his father before him and
we have known Arch Patterson all
his life, and without reservation we
commend him to your favor and ask
for him your votes and active support.
He is a son of E. d. Patterson, who
served for many years as Circuit
Judge here and whom many of you
know. and who enlisted at the age OF
18 wears in the 9th Alabama Regl-
ment at Florence. He served through
the campaign in Virginia, being badly
wounded at Frazier's Farm, but re-
turning to his regiment some three
months later. He was captured in
the famous charge at Gettysburg and
spent the remainder of the war in
Johnson's Island prison.
Arch is himself lawyer of ability
and a successful business man, quail
flied in every respect to make us a
distinguished Representative in Con-
gress, and you may take this assur-
ance from US that he will faithfully
and patriotically uphold the best ira
ditions of the South and make pub
lie servant of whom you will be
proud.
Help US to win with him.
Faithfully and gratefully yours,
Joe Duncan
