***IN MEMORY OF WILLIAM CLARK***<\/p>\n
Sorrow pervaded our home and community early Thursday morning, October 1st, 1925, and removed from our midst, Mr. William CLARK, son of Mr. J. W. CLARK. He was born June
\n5th, 1897, and was 28 years, 3 months, and 25 days old. His death was a shock
\nto everyone, he having been sick with typhoid fever only a short time, but had
\nbeen in ill health all the year with severe attacks of rheumatism. He leaves a
\nhost of relatives and friends to mourn his death. He was laid to rest in Asbury
\nCemetery Thursday afternoon. He bore his intense suffering so patiently. Everything possible was done to relieve his suffering and save his life, but God saw fit to take him. It seems hard to take a young man just starting out in life, but it’s God will, not ours. We miss you, Willie, your
\nvacant place can never be filled: your smiling face can never be replaced; you can never know how much you have been missed. A Dear Friend Golddust, TN

***IN MEMORY OF E.E. DRUMWRIGHT***<\/p>\n
The spirit of my dearest beloved father took its flight to his heavenly home on November 11th,1925,and oh how we miss him. He professed faith and was a believer in our Lord, Jesus Christ, since a young man. He lived a Christian life, was a loving husband, a kind father and always wore a smile for those outside his own family. He had been a sufferer for many years, but bore his suffering patiently. He was taken ill with pleurisy and developed into double pneumonia, and this was the immediate cause of his death. He was married January 8th, 1890, to Miss Mary Elizabeth LAWSON, and to this union five children were born. Two of them preceded him in death. He is survived by his wife; daughters, Mrs. C. A. BICKERS and
\nMrs. J. T. CHIPMAN; son, Lee DRUMWRIGHT; sister, Mrs. Lucy HAWKINS. Interment in Holmes Cemetery.<\/p>\n
***MY BELOVED SCHOOL***<\/p>\n
My school is in Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee. It is located at Island Home Park. It is not on an island. It is south of the Tennessee River. I do not know how the name “Island Home” originated. We moved there one year ago. The old school was sold. The old school was also beautiful, and we were very sorry to leave it. The junior high school took possession of it, as their school had burned.
\nGod is kind to us. He gave us another beautiful place. People should see our school in
\nOctober. There are red, yellow, and brown leaves on the big trees. Unfortunately no artist has
\never painted a picture of this place. Plenty of colors for him.
\nI wish you. mother, and my friends could see the place. God is kind and good. Mother is
\nwise. She has put me in the right school. A Trolley car runs to the corner of our school
\ngrounds. We enter between two great stone posts into what is almost a woods. There are
\n57 varieties of trees. We walk up the hill, the first sight is the superintendent’s residence. It
\nis painted white; so it is called the White House. Then we are in view of the main building
\nand the cottages for big and little girls. The other cottage is for little boys. There is no
\ncottage for big “men”. It will be built soon. There is a chapel and the schoolrooms. The
\nlaundry and some of the officers residences are behind the main building. The big barn is
\naway out back behind the girls cottages.
\nWe have about 20 cows. Some of the boys milk them. There is a pasture for them. It is
\nalso a beautiful spot. It is so pretty to see the green grass with the cows grazing there. We
\nhave a gardner. He keeps the flowers, grass and trees beautiful. There is a bird house, but it
\nis not very near the school. It is not ours. It is owned by some men in town. We have one
\npeacock. It is beautiful. It seems proud of the place it lives in.
\nI thank God every day for the school, and mother for sending me here.
\nWilliam B. DUVALL. To; Mrs. G. T. DUVALL, Ripley, Tenn. Rt.#4

At 1:45 o’clock Tuesday morning, fire was discovered in the building on South Main Street occupied by the Ripley Bakery and Clore’s Restaurant on the ground floor. A negro restaurant was in the second floor, where it is said the fire started. The building was owned by Mrs. B. M. ELAM, (nee KLUTTS), of Jackson, and a considerable loss was sustained by fire and
\nwater. Insurance was carried by Mrs. ELAM to the amount of $3000, but this will not nearly cover the loss. The bakery was a complete loss and was partially covered by insurance. Grover KIMBLE’s meat market in the building north of where the conflagration started was damaged to amount of several hundred dollars by fire while his stock of groceries was practically a total loss on account of water damage. This building was owned by Henry KLUTTS, who carried $2000 insurance. The local fire department did valiant work in confining the fire to a small area as the large dry goods store of Fourst Bros., was just north and the Farmers Produce & Supply Co., to the south. The firefighters were greatly handicapped by the
\nmetal awning which was covered with ice and snow, making it impossible to carry the
