BETTER STREET LIGHTING
FOR SMYRNA Messrs. Smithers
and Mcguire of the Smyrna Gas
Works offer to light the street
lamps of the town every night in
the wear until twelve o'clock and
all night on Saturday nights for
the sum of $500. We are now
paying $500, and our citizens know
the manner and extent of the
! lighting. Many of us have exper-
fenced the sensation of travelling
along the streets at about 10
o'clock and when in a particularly
bad spot pop goes the light out
and there you are in darkness and
disgust. An additional expense of
two hundred dollars will effectuany
remedy all these inconvenience
and quiet the constant dissatisfac-
tion in this matter.
DEATH OF MRS. ANNIE MIL
LER.-A solemn occurrence of last
Sabbath afternoon in its vernal Joy
and beauty, was the funeral of
Mrs. Annie Miller from the resi-
dence of her aunt, Mrs. John Win
ford. The ceremony began at half
past three o'clock, the house being
filled with a sad hearted company
all of whom were mourners as all
had known the sweet and gentle
life of the departed and each felt
a personal bereavement in her
death. The services were conduct
ed by Rev. j. B. Quigg, who after
the appropriate rendering of two
selected hymns, reading, and pray
er, spoke for half an hour in elo-
quent and feeling terms of the life,
the sufferings, and peaceful de
parture of the deceased. The re-
mains were carried to their resting
place in Glenwood Cemetery. An
ME Miller was converted to the
Christian faith and joined the
Methodist Church at the age of
twelve and for fifteen years, she
had been a gentle disciple of
Christ, following him meekly, fear
lessly, withersoever he would,
thinking not of herself alone, do
ing what she could for the Mast
ers cause, faithful, patient, devot-
ed-having for those about her a
kind word and a smile. From the
nature of her disease her suffer
ings had been severe for some
months previous to her death,
which period was marked by a
brave, accomplishing endurance,
bearing all pain with a glorious
christian fortitude and going down
the valley joyfully with no fear, no
faltering, no trembling. The sill
yer cord is loosed, the golden bowl
is broken" a relative, a friend is
gone, the Sabbath School has lost
a teacher, the community has lost
a favorite, but in Heaven there is
another spirit crowned.
