been said that he, next to Henry
Clay, stood as the foremost of the
orators of his time, and there are
those who give him the first place
One of the finest examples of his
power, is given in an address that
he delivered as a greeting to the
volunteers in Gen. Taylor's army in

"Under the hot gaze in the fierce
conflict," said he, "when desperate
courage was put to its utmost proof,
all fame unites in saying that you
covered yourselves with immortal
honor. In pitched battle with brave
and veteran troops, outnumbering
you four to one, during two days,
you made a successful contest; you
stood a living dike, and again and
again poured upon you the fiery tor
rent. "Twere worth ten years ot
peaceful life' to have witnessed your
repulsing the audacious squadrons
of the enemy.
"Gentlemen, you have before you
a happy destiny. Yours have been
no mercenary services. Prompted
by patriotism alone, vou went forth
to light the battles of your country.
You now voluntarily return to the
pursuits of civil life. Presently you

Whereas, the colored teachers of
Tipton county have, should and do
highly appreciate thorough and high
intellectual and moral attainments;
Whereas, we consider it our in
dispensable duty to evince by words
and actions our appreciation of ev
ery effort put forth to put in our
rasp such principles as will better
equip usto perforin the great duties
for.jvhich we are responsible;
Whereas, Profs. F. K. Henderson
and G. R. McGee, as conductors of
our institute, have tendered us in
estimable services,by which we have
been so greatly aided ; -
Whereas, our esteemed and effi
cient county superintendent, Prof.
J. A. Cotten, has so zealously and
incessantly worked to promote the
general welfare of the educational
work of our county and place it in
rank inferior to none throughout the
country by employing the best in
structors for this purpose, there
fore be it
imjivcu, j.nat we express our
gratitude to our able instructors for
their untiring efforts. Be it further
Resolved, That we tender our sin
cere thanks to our most worthy su
perintendent, and earnestly, en
deaver to aid him in maintaining
the educational standard of our
county by a hearty co-operation ;
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the county
papers for publication.
Covington, Tenn., June 3, 1898.
Whereas, it has pleased the good
Lord to move from our midst and
claim for His own one of our much"
beloved and honored members in
the person of Prof. W. T. Dunn, we
take this medium through which to
express our sincere regret for the
loss of one whose influence, exper
ience and generosity have been so
long felt amonir us. Prof. Dunn
was born near Atlanta, Ga., in the
vear 1863. His father died when he
was but a small boy, leaving him to
care for his mother and make his
way in school. This he did with
untiring efforts. He went to the
district school near his home in No.
4 of Tipton county, and in 1881 he
entered the Normal Department of
Roger Williams and graduated there
in 1888. Not being contented here
and desiring to make a deeper, re-

tered the . Scientific Department of
Roger Williams University, grad
uatit-g in that department in 1894.
During these years of college life
he was a faithful teacher in Tipton
county. After the hardships nec
essarily incumbent to school life he
married Miss" Elviry C. Campbell,
of Batesville, Miss. They moved to
Covington, where he was employed
as teacher in the city school, at
which post of duty he received his
last summons, which was from labor
to reward. He fell in the thickest
of the fight, and while it is our loss,
we feel that it is Heaven's gain. Our
hearts melt in sympathy for the sor-row-strickened
family, but we real
ize that "The Lord giveth and the
Lord taketh away; blessed be the
name of the Lord," and to this we
say "Sleep on, beloved, sleep and
take Ui rest; we love tbee still, but
Jesus loves thee best."

Garland merchants give the farm
ers employment in the fall and
spring hauling to and from' Mem

road that could force the reduction
of freight by doing likewise.
Of all the fine lands on the Hatchie
slope from above Rialto to the riv
er's mouth there is none so rich or
presents a more pleasing appear
ance than that just below Garland.
The "Rye Patch" is here, said to
be the richest spot in the county.
But the finest view, disclosing to
the eye hundreds of acres with
blocks of wheat, corn and cotton in
cultivation, and glistening in the
bright sunshine, is on the high
ridge in the vicinity of Mr. Gabe
Wilson's place. It is a pleasant
sight to look upon. It is cultivated
entirely by white people and done
in a neat and satisfactory manner.
At a colored meeting some time
since a part of the exhortation was
as follows: "Some uv dese davs

ain't done what I tole yer to do.'"
And he went for other backsliders
who were present besides John,
making it plain in his way that "the
way of the transgressor is hard"
and getting harder.
Garland's neat residences and
substantial business houses would
attract the attention of the mo&t
casual observer. Its , handsome
church and substantial school build
ing would be especially noticeable,
besides its splendid location, being
situated just between the finest bot
tom and hill lands in the county.
Its school building has been the at
traction which caused so many neat
and handsome residences, ami to
take a retrospective view, it can be
said that many young men and ladies
have obtained an education aud re
ceived advantages which never
would have been offered without the
high school at Garland. It is located
in a rich country, with the most
successful farmers as its patrons,
and will prove a veritable blessing
in the end to many of the youths
who live between Detroit and Bride
and elsewhere who may wish to
study the higher branches. Prof.
Robison, whose term will commence
again in July, has but few equals as
an educator in the county. People
who educate their children and
learn them how to work also know
that at periods the process of edu
cation is tiresome, yet they know
that nothincr can be more beneficial
and enduring. It cannot be done
without some trouble and expense.
