In Memory of Little Rhoda
The death angel entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. S. BROOKS,
near Boydsville, and bore the spirit of their precious little
Rhoda home to heaven. Rhoda Thomas BROOKS was born September
16, 1899; died February 12, 1904. She was a bright and loving
child, the delight of her home, and will be greatly missed from
the family circle. She leaves a father, mother, a little brother
and a host of relatives to mourn her death. The sad thought of
being seperated from little Rhoda fills our hearts with sorrow.

Jonesboro Jots Column
Jonesboro is located six miles east of Greenfield and twelve
south of Dresden. It
was about 1844 when Bill Jones
purchased the adjacent
land and began to build a town
here; succeeded fairly
well and soon had the people
wrought up to a frenzy
of excitement. It was certainly
a busy little place;
there were dry goods and grocery
stores, a store for making
fine hats, which were almost
everlasting,
and a blacksmith shop. The town went on
in this thriving way
till Mr. JONES, who had borrowed
a large sum of money,
became insolvent and the land was
sold. Thereafter, each
day saw it�s decline. The civil
war, with it�s destructive
methods, wiped the town off
the hill, save a few
dwellings which remained a number
of years after the war.
The old hill is now a dismal
waste, and it looks like
there never was a town here.
Herman Johnson tells the writer that his big brother, Harmon,
of No. 10, had a big
coon fight recently. It came about
when Harmon punched a
coon out of a hollow tree; the
stick broke and he was
forced to use his fists in
keeping his coonship
away. The fight left Harmon with
a badly damaged finger.
One afternoon last week, Mrs. Mary MAYNARD and her daughter,
Mrs. Florence TAYLOR,
started out for a drive and
found they had not buckled
the lines to the bits.,
and they were going down
the hill towards Pillowville
at break neck speed.
The road makes a quick turn at
the bottom of the hill
and here is a bridge across a
gully which is six feet
deep. When they reached the
bend in the road the
buggy and the occupants tumbled
over into the gulley.
Messrs. Sam and Jim MAYNARD were
working nearby and were
on the scene at the flash of
an eye, rescuing the
women from the mud and water.
Mrs. MAYNARD came very
near being fatally injured,
having sustained great
injuries about the head and
face, while her daughter
was somewhat crippled, but
not seriously.
John OVERTON has been sick of measles, having suffered a
relapse.

In Memory of Tommie HIGHFIELD
Tommie was born the nineteenth day of September, 1888; died
February 22, 1904; aged 16 years, 5 months and 2 days. He was
a good and kind and affectionate brother; he was always tender
and attentive to his sisters and took an unusual interest in
their welfare since his father�s death, always ready to render
any assistance that was possible for their comfort. Tommie was
always kind and generous to all his acquaintences. He was a
noble hearted, manly boy. It is sad to think that, in the bloom
of youth, one so dear should be snatched away from an only
loving brother and his kind and tender sisters.
Dear brothers and sisters, weep not for Tommie; he is free from
sickness and sorrow of this world.
But prepare yourselves so that you cross over the river of death
into the land of eternal delight.

Remains of Bob HILL brought from Cuba
The remains of Bob HILL were transported from Cuba and landed in
McKenzie last night, and were laid to rest today at the Old
Eanon graveyard, a host of friends and relatives being present
to pay their last tribute.
The corpse was borne from the hearse and, after song and prayer,
the lid was raised on the casket, and it was thought that we
would all get to see the body that so many of us loved, but
found that the corpse was cased in copper inside the casket,
so the bereaved ones were only consoled with the knowledge that
the government had better placed the body than we could do.
Bob was a young man of good education, good morals, well behaved,
and was a nice gentleman and beloved by all who knew him. He has
been and will forever be missed in society, school room and the
family circle. He leaves an aged mother, two brothers, three
sisters and a large number of friends to mourn his death.
He resigned teaching and joined the standing army, which proved
to be a sad mistake with him. He died of sunstroke, April 13,
