His Memory.

A large crowd of friends
at the court house in this city Mon
day morning to attend the memor
ial exercises in honor of Hon,
Trammel Starr, Dalton’s distin
guished son who died last fall.
The ladies, as well as gentle
men, were present in large num
bers to pay their respects to the
lamented Starr.
Judge A. W. Fite presided over
the meeting.
The committee which had been
appointed by Judge Fite to pre
pare a suitable memorial reported
as follows:
Memorial.
“The death of our brother,
the Hon. Trammel Starr, left a
void deep and wide in this com
munity. Few men so live as to
make their death so ielt when they
fall before the merciless reaper.
“ Gifted with superior personal
and intellectual endowments, en
larged and enriched by study and
professional training; a gentleman
at home, in the office, in the court
room, in business circles—every
where and under all circumstances;
alive with generous impulses and
prominent in deeds of benevolence;
amid personal, political and pro
fessional irritations, self-poised and
self-contained—he was indeed a
model man, an ornament to his
profession.
“ He was a man of fine presence
and the picture of health, and
when in the great crowd of sin
cere mourners at his funeral, who
were bereaved by what seemed his
untimely death, we saw him borne
from the home where we had lately
seen him in the strength and glow
of health, blessing and being bless
ed, we felt that the bar, this com
munity, the church and the State
had sustained no ordinary loss.
i 46 He was thirty-nine years old
when he died,’and had been a mem
ber of this bar about eighteen
years and had served his State one
term in her senate.
“Few men of his age had made
So fine an impression upon his pro
fessional brethren as a man of ex

At the conclusion of the read

He was followed by T. R. Jones,
R. J. McCamy, S. P. Maddox,
Walter Jones, Julian McCamy, S.
E. Berry, Mr. Terry, Dr. Harris,
Rev. Walraven, and Judge Fite,
all of whom spoke eloquently and
lovingly of Dalton’s lamented son.

of fine legal discrimination and of
great skill and force as an advocate.
For few, in so short a term of pub
lic service, had taken so distin

* 4 A man of refined sensibilities,
he recognized and respected sensi
bility in others and never wantonly
or thoughtlessly, iu the" forum,
upon the husteings or upon the
floor of the senate, offended those
whom he met in debate, however
heated the discussion or sharp the
antagonism.
44 A man of strong, well trained,
well stored and practical mind,-he
achieved marked success in what
ever he undertook. He was suc
cessful as a lawyer, popular as a
legislator, prudent as a financier,
and consistent as a Christian.
“At the* time of his death his
election to a most important and
honorable office—-that of solicitor
general of this judicial circuit—
was assured. He seemed to be en
tering upon a sphere of greater
distinction and wider usefulness.
“ Any memorial of our deceased
brother, omitting special mention
of that Which was the- chief orna
ment of his splendid manhood,
would be inexcusably incomplete.
He had a profound sense of bis
obligation to his Maker, and was a
genuine Christian, faithful in the
discharge of his duties, not only
to his country *and his clientage,
but also to his church and to his
God.
44 That he has been cut off in the
midst of a career of great and in
creasing usefulness is cause for
profound sorrow. Yet we cannot
question, the wisdom and goodness
of the. great Disposer of-.events,
even in the surprises of his mys
terious providence.

memorial be spread upon the min-

A PRESENT FOB THE JUDGE.
Farmers Blue, But Attend Court and Haul
Their Guano.
Cedar Ridge, April 14, 1897.
—Having failed to send you^ any
communication last week will try
to write up a few .dots, ’though
news is scarce.
The rains of the past week have
made the farmers feel blue. A
great, many have been to Dalton
the past week attending court and
hauling guano.
The roads in places are yet in
miserable condition. We would
like to make the judge a present
of the Mill Creek bottom road to
carry home with him.
We attended church at Har
mony Sunday.
Misses Rosa Sharp, Ethel anp
Chessie Thompson visited Miss
Fannie Dillard Sunday and at
tended church from her house.
Our clever friend, Mr. J. O.
Stacy attended and took part in
the services which were conducted
by Rev. MeNabb, of Dawnville.
It is worth a trip to Haf mony
any time to hear the splendid
singing, especially Mr. Will
Crows magnificent basso. If Will
would cultivate Operatic music he
eduld make more on the stage in
one year than in ten on the farm
—and he is an excellent farmer.
Miss Laura Stafford visited
Miss Nora Finley in Dalton Sat
urday and Sunday.
Mr. Albert Davies visited this
community Sunday afternoon.
There seems to be an attraction
down this way for him. I sup
pose he is looking for a young
‘•Byrd.”
Joe Randolph wentto see his
best girl Sunday, but he covered
up his trail so completely we
eouldn’t learn which route he
took. As we remarked in a form-
jer communication Joe has several
best girls.
It is hard to tell which place
our friend Lee Dillard visits of-
tenest, Dalton or the Piney
Grove community. There is
great attraction at both places for
him.
We rarely see our former hand
some young neighbor, Charley
Smith* but hear of him going very
often in the direction of Mitchel’s

J. E. Shipton, a cripple who is
very deaf and badly deformed,
drifted, in and out of Dalton this
week, selling a grease eraser. He
is from Elizabeth, Ill., and was a
newspaper correspondent until he
grew ^so deaf. He claims to be a
hustler, and surely is; and aside
from the faet that he is independ
ently making his own living, he
is prouder of nothing in the World
than a newspaper clipping from
the Jackson (Miss.) Clarion-
Ledger, in which he is spoken of
as a 44 real ray of sunshine.”
Rev. S. A. Goodwin, D. .D.,
called a meeting Tuesday evening
ing to a more perfect and: per

people of his church. Mrs. A. E.
Cannon was elected president;
Mis. W. E. Oslin, first vice-presi
dent; Miss Annie Pruden, second
vice-president; Miss Jessie Camp
bell, secretary; and Mr. J. M.
Sanders, treasurer. The next
meeting will be held two weeks
hence, and it is to be hoped that
all the young people of this church
will be on hand to take part in
this important movement.
Rosacea, j more, co let our parents and friends
know a little more about the sixth
grade, which is the best grade, we
think, in the school. And how
could it be otherwise when com
posed of some of the prettiest
girls and smartest boys, and ably
taught by one of the nicest teach
ers in the school ? Our grade is
rapidly improving from last year’s
Work. -
Our spelling match last Friday
was very interesting. It was nip
and tuck until the last, when the
boys were victorious. Those left
standing were Belle McCarty,
Beulah .Moore, Frank Black, Annie
Jones, Ben Hamilton, Walter
Hamilton, Robert Hickman, Tram
mell Wilson, Frank Wrinkle and
DeLos Sweet. Frank Wrinkle
and Beulah Moore will choose
next Friday when we hope to beat
the girls again.
We have only seven more
weeks of school, and the majority
of our scholars are trying to be
promoted.

Hard-
IVIcLellan School.
Notwithstanding the bad weath
er, we have had a full attendance
only two or three of the scholars
being absent.
Prof. McLellan has been giving
us some very beneficial and inter
esting talks on various subjects
that will help to form an impor
tant part in our school work in the
future.
Professor proposes to give a
medal at the end of school to the
one that makes the best average
on examination for the last term.
The time is drawing near for
the quarterly reports to go out.
Our society work last Friday in
both societies proved to be very
interesting.
Mr. Tremble in his inaugural
address thanked the members of
the Lee Society for electing him
as president, and he also made
some very impressive remarks,
which if taken into consideration
will prove to be very useful to us
in the future.
Mr. Peak, president of the
Washington Society is noted for
his wit and humor, and he, in his
address, kept the society spell
bound by relating to them a nar
rative of his adventures while out
west.
- The debates in both societies
were splendid, and the literary
programs were also very good.
The composition ..written by
Miss Marvin Trivett on the Relig
ions of the world, deserves specia
mention, as she told of the differ
ent religions that are practiced by
different nations.
We hope to make our society
one of the literary features of Dal
ton. Mamie E. Longdey.
McLellan High School.
Our school had the pleasure of
Mr. Walraven’s presence Tuesday.
He gave us a most interesting ad
dress on the waywardness of chil
dren, and also gave some sterling
advice which I trust fell upon
good ground, for he was listened
to attentively. ■"
We are sorry that sickness is
keeping some of our pupils away
from school.
Reports were sent out last Fri
day, which were graded according
to class standing, the quarterly
examination being omitted,. much
to the satisfaction of some of the
pupils.
Those who led their classes
were : Harper, Essie Freeman ;
Physical Geography, Maude
Brown; Small Grammar, John
Flemister; High Grammar, Olin
Wrinkle ; Rhetoric, Mary Young;
Latin Beginners’, Marvin Trevitt ;
