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.

Scheerer has the Fliutstone pike completed to Rock Creek, with in less than a half mile of Flint stone.

SUSAN ER FLINTSTONE Oct 12—Giles Hollinsworth was 1 pretty badly hurt last Friday. He was struck in the head with a ham mer by Raymond Oliver. The boys were at work in the clay pit, and it seems that the trouble was caused by a bet about the election. The others thought they were in fun and 1 it seems no onb was mad except the 1 Oliver boy.
