This community was shocked last Saturday by the sad news that martin Johnson had been drowned near his home in Whites Bend. It appears that he in company with H H BROWN and Price Lynn were out in a canoe paddling around for amusement, when Martin, who had the paddle, fell out of the back end, pushing the canoe from him. At the moment he fell it is supposed that he was attacked by a spell of unconsciousness to which he was subject. The boys in the canoe did all they could to get back to him but he sank in the dark waters never again to look upon the beauties of this world. Assistance was summoned and the body recovered from its watery grave. Martin Johnson was 25 years of age. He was a young man of noble character and held the respect and esteem of all who knew him. he was a memeber of Gainesboro Lodge No 234 I O O F The deceased was a son of J M Johnson and wife, who mourn the loss of a loving and obedient son. He leaves three brothers - D B and B D Johnson, of this place, and S K Johnson of Calif.; also four sisters - Mrs. J R Darwin of Ark, Mrs. T J Draper, of Flynns Lick, mrs. Norman Johnson and Miss Etta Johnson, who mourn for a kind and thoughtful brother. The many friends of the deceased bow with the family in their grief. The funeral was held at his home Sunday morning and the body laid to rest in the family burying ground. ********************************************** THE ROLLER MILL The Roller Mill being put up by Fowler and Dudney is progressing as rapidly as possible. The high water has some what hindered the progress, but work is now being pushed. Teh capacity of the mill will be 75 barrels per day instead of 50 as reported in the Sentinel some weeks since, it being deemed necessary by the promoters to make themill of that capacity. A grist mill will also run in connection with the roller mill. Dr. Fowler informs us that the firm will be ready to receive wheat within 30 days as elevator will be completed in that time, as asks all farmers who have wheat to sell, to wait as they will pay the highest market prices. The machinery for the corn grinding has arrived and the rollers mill machinery will be in, in a few days. ********************************************* FROM TEXAS. PADUCAH, TEX., AUG 18. Dear Sentinel Readers: While delayed from church this Sabbath day by rain, and after reading until tired. I now spend a few moments in writing a few words to The Sentinel that you may see I am still living and always ready to enjoy The Sentinel. I am sure there are many who read The Sentinel who would like to know something about this Western country, but I can't tell you but little about it, as I am not familiar with it myself. But I can say it is the best stockmen's country I have ever discovered. Tehre are but few farmers in this part, but I truly believe within the space of five years this will be a fine farming country as many farmers are settling here from the east. Early crops here are short owing to the drouth but late crops are exceptionally good. The principal products raised here are Indian corn, cafri corn, mileimaze and sorgum, mostly the later for their cattle. Cattlemen are selling to farmers and moving their cattle to the plains. Our nearest neighbor will commence herding his cattle in the morning, out of a large pasture which contains many thousant cattle. The cowboys will be several days riding and searching for his cattle, then he will start to the plains with seven or eight hundred. I have been thinking of going with him to help with the cattle. If I should happen to go I will be able to tell you more about West Texas and how I enjoy being a cowboy. Expect I would feel like a calfboy at the start as I have but little experience in that line. I am seeing many new things and much improvment, ahead of the old State, but still I have a great love for Old Tennessee. I meet many old settlers here who come from Tennessee who still love and talk of the Old State. Will tell you more of Texas when I see more. With best wishes to all and especially The Sentinel readers I am Yours Truly, O O Mayberry. ******************************************** IN MEMORY OF. We the undersigned committee, appointed by Smiths Chapel Sunday School to write in loving memory of sister Virgie Lawson, submit the following: She was a faithful member of our Sunday school. her teacher reports her not always present, but always perfect in her lessons and behavior. She was born Jan 13, 1878 amd professed faith in Shrist Sept 1892, joined the Missionary Baptist Church at this place Sept 8, 1895, in which she lived a consistent member until death. She bore her afflictions with christian fortitude. When she realized that her Lord and master had called her to leave this life, she told her friends that she was at peace with her God, and said. "Thy will be done and not mine." With these divine words a short and most helpful was ended july 26, 1901. She leaves a loving mother and two sisters, besides other relatives and friends She always contributed liberally to a good cause. She was patient and kind to all a very obedient daughter and will be sadly missed by her many friends. We would say to the breaved mother and sister, put your trust in Christ, for he has said: "Lo I am with you always" O, blessed hope that your loved daughter now dwells in that, "House not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." No tired ones are there, but the rest of love is ever there. "There is no death, what seems so??is transition, this life of mortal breath Is but the suberb of life eteranl Whose portals we call dath A member from us is gone, A voice we heard is stilled, A place is vacant in her home. Which never can be filled. Lord, while there are hearts bleeding O'er the spoils that death has done, We would at this solemn moment, Calmly say, thy will be done. Though cast down, yet not forsaken Afflicted, though not alone, Lord, thou didst give, and thou has taken; We would say, "blessed Lord, thy will be done." Resolved: That in the death of our sister, our Sunday school has lost one of its best members. 2. That her church has lost a worthy member and her home a friend that can not be replaced. 3. That at a copy be spread on the minutes of the Sunday school and the Missionary Baptist church at this place. 4. That a copy be furnished to the bereaved mother, and a copy to The Gainesboro Sentinel for publication. All of which we respectfully submit. Bettie Tyree. J D Smith. *************************************** There will be a reunion of Co K., 17th Tennessee Regiment at the house of Pendleton Huffs in the 5th Dist., of Jackson Co., on the 11th day of Sept. 1901, all members of the Co. widows and children are especially invited.
