BALDWIN.-On Sabbath; sd inst.;, at the
residence of c. w. Norman, ESQ.,, ON Whites
Creek, THOMPSON A, second son of the late S.
ID. Baldwin, d. D., aged about . years.
TOMMY was a good and true-hearted young
man, highly priced by his associates, esteemed
by all who knew him, and dearly loved by his
relatives; and he met the grim monster
shrinkingly, in full assurance of rest beyond the
flood. He was for some time connected with the
business department of the UNION AND AMERI-
CAN, and regarded by all with whom he
came in contact the worthy son of a noble father

Delays are DangerOus.-"Delays are
dangerous" ''Strike while the iron is hot"
snake hay while the sun Shines" ''To hesi-
tate is to be lost" and many other like say
ings, illustrate the many stumbling blocks
which lie in mems paths and which, by the
want of fiTmness or force of character at the
right time, they are forever unable to sur
mount. How many persons are this mo-
ment hating in their action because they
are vet undetermined whether they will
purchase whole, half, or lesser fraction
of a ticket in the next Gift Concert, and
how many of these will find that their hest
fancy has been their stumbling block; that
the good time has passed, and that the
tickets are all sold. Shakespeare says:
"There is a tide in the affairs of men, which
taken at the flood, leads on to fortune"
This is now the flood tide for many, and if
it is omitted, s'all the balance of their
lives" as the great bard further says, ''may
be passed mid shadows and mid storms"
1t is not often in a lifetime that fortune
of S25O,OO0 in cash may be obtained by the
investment in a single concert ticket. 1t

How Permanent Customers are Made.

How Permanent Customers are Made.
If you have never used SapoliO, the next
time you send to your grocer tell him you
want cake; it will cost you only few
cents. Then look all over your house, and
wherever you find a spot upon the paint,
the furniture, carpets, or anything else,
whether it be dirt, grease, tar, or whatever
else, use Sapolio according to the simple
directions. Then collect all the tinware,
copper ware, knives, forks, kettles, etc, and
polish them up. When you have done this
once, then Enoch Morgan's Sons know
positively that their SapOlio has won an
other permanent customer.

lence, to the lesser towns OF the
State.
The Louisville papers .squarely
acknowledge that the man with
the black valiso has arrived. The
disease prevails at Franklin, Frank
fort, Bowling Green and all along

The cholera rsges iearfully in

SOISS.
The worst fears were soon rei-
Hzed. for in q space Of two hours
or less, Notwithstanding o ram
which. was. falling at the time,
nothing remained Of the business
portion of Prosperity Tut the store
of Boozer & Co., which fortunately
was not connected With the nam
block. Is is thought that If the
fire had occurred two hours later
every binding within reach OF the
flames and falling embers would
have been consumed.
The loss is estimated at abont
100000, but We are satisfied when
every particular is brought to light,
that this, amount will be found be-
low the actual loss. The whole IN.
surance is only about S., ,00G.
This is one of the most distress
sing confagrations which has ever
been experienced in this State, tor
the entire business portion OF a
Aoulishing town is swept away,
and in few moments a whole
community brought to realize the
dreadful effects of the fre.hend
It is u calamity which calls for the
largest sympathy, a sympathy too
not only Of words and kindly con
dolence, but one which appeals to
the generosity of onr people, who
we feel assured, will to the best Of
their ability come to the relief o1
the inhabitants of Prosperity in a
substantial aDner. We can
scarcely realize that the active bus
mess scene we witnessed only two
weeks ago, is now all blotted out
and that nothing remains OF the
whole but a heap of s,nouidering
ashes.
How the fire occurred is not
known. There had been no fire
about the premises of Wise, Whites
& Co., and the Masons had left
their hall several hours before.
