Evans---A few months ago two estimable young ladies, Misses. Salley and Jennie Evans, left their home in New Castle, Indiana, for Maryville, hoping that the health of the elder sister, Miss. Sallie, would be benefited by the change. Thes Misses Evans won many friends during their stay with us, who hoped that they would find here a pleasant home for many years; but consumption had made too great inroads upon the system of Miss. Sallie, the elder sister, and last Thursday morning, at 2 o’clock, the spirit took its flight. Miss. Evans was aged 30 years. He devoted sister, who was almost heart broken with her loss, left Friday morning with the remains. Dr. Arbeely accompanied her to Chattanooga, where she was met by a friend who escorted her to her former home. The beloved lady has the deep sympathies of the many friends she has left behind her in Maryville. Departed---On last Sabbath night, James I. Henry, son of Jacob Henry, departed this life at the residence of his father in this town. He had consumption near twelve months, gradually growing weaker until death releived him. He was in his eighteenth year, had graduated at the Freedmen’s Normal School and began a collegiate course at Maryville College. He was very intelligent, industrious, and applied himself closely to study. His prospects for usefulness, to human appearances were very bright, byt the Great Ruler of the universe demanded his services elsewhere. We extend our sympathies to the bereaved family. Mr. James L. Lowe returned from Colorado yesterday, looking hale and hearty. His wife and child joined him at Sweetwater. The child of Mr. W.W. Freshour, who died on the 3rd inst., he informs us did not die from the effects of “rat poison,” but of typhoid fever. His little boy, who was also very ill with the same disease, we are glad to hear is better. Mrs. L.A. McConnell, who for the past twenty-five years has been living in Washington Co. Iowa, is visiting friends and relatives in Blount County. She is the widow of Isaac Wright McConnell, and sister of the late Mrs. D.G. Wright and Mrs. Kizer. Her son, Mr. J.J. McConnell, accompanied her. We are informed that Louis Jones, the father of Mrs. Moore, who died recently near Wright’s Ferry, has taken the small-pox, but is getting along very well. His little daughter is just taking the disease. The child of Mrs. Moore is getting well.
