The News.
A young woman in Gibson City,
Illinois, has resigned her position
as teacher in the public schools for
the purpose of going as a mission
ary to Africa. Why should she
go so far when Chicago is so near,
and where there are more heathens
to the square yard than there are
in Africa to the twelve square
miles. Strange ideas of mission
ary work these school marms have.
Life is too short to be over
shadowed by gloom. Let us live
bravely and cheerfully, as well as
industriously and dutifully. The
true heart recognizes the duty of
happiness and faces life with a
certain courageous gayety that sol
ves many doubts and scatters the
clouds of woe and disaster. Let
us cultivate the habit of cheerful
ness and know that when we quench
rhe innocent joy of a fellow creat
ure by a word or a frown we are
deliberately destroying a part of
tbe world’s most precious treasures.
It is not surprising that some of
our young men seem to have such
hard work to be decent. Jnst re
member that the first man to dwell
upon the earth was no saint. If
we can rely upon history he was a
liar and a sneak. The first wom
an kept bad company, and woman
like, pried into things that did
not concern her. The first child
born was a murderer and killed
his brother. Our first ancestors
were a tough lot and it is hard to
get it out of the blood.
We apologise for all mistakes in
former issues and say they were
inexcusable, as all an editor has to
do is to hunt news and clean the
rollers and set type, sweep the
floor and pen short items, and fold
papers, and write wrappers, and
make the paste, and mail the pa
pers, talk to visitors, distribute
type, and carry water, saw wood,
and read the proofs, hunt the
“shears to write editorals” and
dodge the bills and dun delin
quents, and take cussings from the
whole force, and tell our subscrib
ers that we must have money—we
say that we’ve no business to
make mistakes while attending to
those little matters, and wearing
old clothes and no collar, and ob
lidged to turn a smiling counte
nance to the man who tells us our
paper ain’t worth a dollar any how
and that he could make a better
one with his eyes shut.
The young man who thinks he
is poor because he has no bank ac
count, little understands the value
of God’s free gift of health and
strength, little appreciates the fact
that the brightest and best of the
country are self-made, and come
to the notice of the world from
just such beginnings. Not by idly
moaning that they are poor, but
by going carefully to work, per
fecting themselves in their chosen
persuits and becoming so useful to
those about them that their ser
vices are always in demand, wheth
er it be on the platform, in the
shop or in the kitchen, for all are
honorable.
THE CONQUERED BANNER.
Furl the Banner! for ’tis weary,
Jtound its staff ’tis drooping dreary,
Furl it, fold it, it is best,
For there’s not a man to wave it,
And there’s not a sword to save it
In the blood that heroes gave it,
And its foes now scorn and brave it;
Furl it, hide it, let it rest.
Take that Banner down, ’tis tattered
Broken in its staff and shattered,
And the valiant hosfs are scattered,
Over whom it floated high;
Oh! ’tis hard for us to fold it,
Hard to think there’s none to hold it
Hard that those whoonce unrolled it
Now must furl it with a sigh.
Purl that Banner! for furl it sadly,
Once ten thousand hailed it gladly
And ten thousand wildly, madly,
Swore it would for ever wave,
Swore the foemans sword could ne’r
Hearts like their,entwined, dissever
’Till that flag should float forever
O’er their freedom or their grave.
Purl it,for the hands that grasped it,
And the hearts that fondly clasped it
Cold and dead are lying low,
And that Banner, it is trailing,
While around it sounds the wailing
Of its people in their woe;
For,though conquered, they adore it
Love the cold dead hands that bore it
Weep for those who fell before it,
Pardon those who trailed and tore it
And oh! wildly they deplore it
Now to furl and fold it so.
Purl that Banner! true ’tisgory,
Yet’ tis wreathed around with glory,
And ’twill live in song and story
Though its folds are in the dust.
For its fame on brightest pages
Penned by poets and by sages,
Shall go sounding down thru ages,
Purl its folds, tho now we must
. CHORUS.
Purl the Banner softly, slowly,
Treat it gently, it is holy,
For it droops above the dead.
Touch it not, unfold it never,
Let it droop there, furled forever!
For the people’s hopes are dead!
IN HEnORlUM
On last Tuesday evening about 6
o’clock Mrs. Annie Riggs, age, 66
years, 5 months and 5 days, wife of
H. P. Riggs passed from the la
bors and troubles of this life to
the joys of that elysian, where
God’s own hand wipes away all
tears.
Mrs. Riggs was a native of Ark
adelphia, Arkansas, where she
was born April 20, 1840. Her
parents moved back to Tennessee,
when she was only 1 year old. For
about 58 years she has lived in
Tennessee, living for quite a num
ber of years at Mason. Mr. and
Mrs. Riggs, and family, moved to
McCrory from Mason, Tenn., in
1899, where they have resided the
past 7 years. Mrs. Riggs was the
daughter of Mr. Elisha and Mrs.
Barbara Pippin. In 1860, on Jan.
10th, she was united with H. P.
Riggs, from which union were
born seven children, three of whom
survive her.
All that is now left of Mrs.
Riggs is a sweet memory and an
example of true womanly conduct,
worthy of invitation. She joined
the Cumberland Presbyterian
church when a young girl, but in
later years joined the Methodist,
having lived a true Christian life.
She was true to her friends and
her God, what more fitting monu
ment can be reared to her memory
than this—a woman of character,
commanding the respect and
admiration of all who knew her.
She numbered her friends by the
number of her acquaintances, and
they were legion.
The funeral services took place
at the home of the deceased at 2 o’
clock, September, 26th, 1906, the
services being conducted by Rev.
H. T. Raney, who paid a beautiful
tribute to Mrs. Riggs’ pure, up
right life.
The News join the many friends
of the bereaved in expressing their
profoundest sympathies to them in
this sad hour.
NOTICE
After July, 20th, I will work for
cash only, as cost of material and
labor are continually advancing
and prices are too low to do a cred
it business.
I find that many times accounts
that I considered good are by reas
on in changes of fortune of some
customers, owing me are rendered
unvaluable. I have found that 1
am banking on good health and
good business ability, honesty and
good luck of a great many people
who’8 account I carry on my book
and you will agree with me that in
so doing I am taking big chance
in my business.
I find that many times it cost
me more time and expense to col
lect acc’ts as to do the work. So I
adopted the plan of doing a cash
business, which will be an advant
age to my customers as well as my
self. I ask the continuance of
your patronage as well as to share
the benefit of doing business on a
cask basis. Thanking you for
your past favors, I am,
Yours Truly,
Tom Burkett.

Our Service Is - - Nothing But The Best
The
High Arm
Yolo
If you have a machine it may have been fairly
satisfactory in the past, but when you see the Volo
and the kind of work it does you will be satisfied
with nothing else. The very finest material has been
used throughout its entire construction. Every adjust
ment is perfect and it has roller-bearings which
make it noiseless and light running, fast sewing and
capable of doing either the most delicate or heaviest
work in the most satisfactory manner. Its arm is
higher than that on any other family sewing
machine in the world. This enables one to easily
sew quilts and goods of considerable bulk. Call and
examine our new stock. We shall be glad to explain
every point in detail.
Price, 940. Every Volo fully guaranteed.
