NOTES AND COMMENTS by Rev. Anderson: A new Sunday school has been organized at Cork’s School House, Mr. W. I. Cork, Superintendent. This is a proper move. There are many communities where people live far from churches but could maintain a healthy Sunday school. None can estimate the good they would accomplish by organizing such schools. What is most needed here, as in fact, in all Sunday schools, is a prompt leader. Bro. Cork will be on hand.

We regret to chronicle the death of Mr. A. J. Prewitt, which sad event occurred at his home near Fentress Wednesday morning. For some time, Mr. Prewitt’s health has been bad, but more recently it was thought his chances of recovery were better. Tuesday night he was taken suddenly severely ill and Wednesday morning passed to rest. Mr. Prewitt was serving his second term as Tax-Assessor and was a man of the noblest traits of character and his demise is universally regretted. To his stricken family we extend our deepest condolence.
