RODDY RUMBLINGS Roddy, Tenn., March 6, '99 - From the way "Truth" talks one would think the people about Washington were having some "weather." Now if you wish any more just give us a call. We have plenty, and still more falling. Give me a little warm weather, please. Mose Briston (Bristow? He had a store in Roddy-EC) has his new stock of goods set up and is selling them at low prices. One of our young ladies has been fishing, fishing for lo! these many days, but some how the fish all got loose. I would like to advise this young lady to wait until the weather moderates. I'm no fisherman, but I've heard it said that fish bite best in the spring of the year. Andrew Ewing, of Meigs County, traveling salesman for a hardware company in Chattanooga, spent Thursday night in our town. J.H. Manis, of Iron Hill, was in our vicinity Sunday. John Roddy has gone to Dayton to attend court, as a juror. Mrs. Nancy Jane McCaleb died of paralysis at her residence in the 2nd Civil District in Rhea County, Tenn., at 11 a.m. on the 25th of Feb., '99. The deceased was born in Meigs County, Tenn., 1826, was married to Col. Arch McCaleb and moved to Rhea County in 1848, where she spent the remainder of her long and useful life. She was a devoted Christian and a member of the Baptist Church for more than fifty years. Her deportment in every relation in life was a continual display of blended virtues, a scene of practical religion, worthy the emulation of every Christian. But her life work is finished. She is now arrayed in the loveliness of immortality, bearing on her brow the seal of the love of God. Mrs. McCaleb's voice is silenced on earth forever; yet its echo, borne on memory's wings, remains aeolian like, to those who knew her. The funeral service were conducted by Revs. J.B. McCallon and Z.T. Manis on the evening of the 27th, after which all that is mortal of that good woman, was with tender hands layed to rest in the McCaleb cemetery, amid a throng of sorrowing friends and relatives. Love for her many virtues and a tear of sorrow to her memory. LITTLE DAISY ~~~~~~~~~~~ Edna Clack
