Tribute to Uncle Jimmie
Loup: Who Died Last
Week—School Resumes
Cenchat, Oct. 12.—Jas. R. Long,
an old and highly respected citizen
of Chattanooga Valley died the sth
inst. and was buried at Cenchat the
following day. Funeral services
were conducted by Rey. Charles
Gray, at Rossville. Uncle Jimmie
will be greatly missed by the Bap
tist church at this place of which he
has long been a consistent member.
He has also been a regular attendant
at Sunday school as long as be was
able to come out. For more than a
year he had been confined to his
bed at the home of his son, B. E.
Long. He was born and raised in
Tennessee, but was one of the pio
neer settlers of Chattanooga Valley.
His wife, Aunt Peggie, preceded
him to the spirit laud some two
years ago. He fought in the Con
federate army, enlisting at Dalton,
Ga., in June, 1862, in Co. E of the
4th Ga. Cavalry and fought under
Col. Avery in Capt. Cook’s compa
ny and was subsequently assigned
to duty under Gen. Joe Wheeler.
He bore the reputation of being one
of the bravest and most daring sol
diers in the Confederate army, but
in peace be was one of the most or
derly and unassuming citizens of
Walker. He was the oldest of eight
biothers; one dead, one living in
Missouri, two in Texas and three in
Georgia. He also leaves eight chil
dren, five sons and three daughters
to mourn their loss.
School at Cenchat academy on ac
count of scarlet fever scare sus
pended for two weeks, but reopened
last Monday.
Giles Hollingsworth, of Eagle
Cliff, in some way got into a diffi
culty with Raborn Oliver, of Flint
stone, and was struck on the bead
with a hammer. As a result we learn
he is in a critical condition at the
home of his father, B. F. Hollings
worth. These are both young men
and we regret to hear of this trouble.
C. F. Scheerer has the Fliutstone
pike completed to Rock Creek, with
in less than a half mile of Flint
stone. For the past week or so he
has been doing a fine piece of road
work just south of the Allison
bridge on the Cove road. We don't
believe there is a better road builder
in the state than C. F. Scheerer.
