lie had attracted general attention by his
uneasincss and Maj. Halliday, Capt Phil
lips and Col. Bradley, believing that he was
about to jump into the river and thus man
age to escape, with the wings of angels,
from this, the footstool Of the Lord, had CON
cludcd to keep an eye on him. Many and
various were the specuations of other by
ISLANDERS concerning him; but the true cause,
Ike the north pole or the Sun mans brains,
remained eclipsed and would give no evil
dence Of its existence. 1t was grow
ing latc--in fact the Champion
had just come in sight--when,
Jerusalem behold he was blowing his nose,
smoothing his hair, Strengthened his shirt
collar, etc, all at one time while he was
standing on one leg. What was the mat
ter with him. Time will tell;" was the
general verdict. AS the Champion came
near the wharf his uneasincss increased
but as she landed the cause
was at once revealed. There was girl in
init-a girl, fat, fair and about 49, They
embraced, and then, would you believe it
Mr. Editor. they-well, but for the young
mans ears, actually believe she would
have swallowed him. AS it was he had TO

but me thinks see them Still"
We take it, and our readers should so
understand it, that the largeness of the
Cairo young mans ears did not constitute
him an ass and that the young lady was
not the whale that swallowed Jonah-shc
was Paducah girl.

I'm IeEnOrinn.

Mrs. Harriet Hooker, nee Redman,
was born in Montgomery county Mary
land, March 18th 1885, died January
9th, 1879, in the ninety-fourth year
of her age,
She came TO Kentucky with her pa
rents in 1895, and settled in Mullen
berg county.
She professed religion in her thir-
teenth year, soon after she joined the
Methodist Episcopal church
She was married to Philip Hooker,
December 26 1909. The result of this
marriage was seven children, (boys)
four of whom are dead and the other
three still survive and are members OF
the NJ. +. Church South.
In her life we see some things emf
nently worthy of our consideration.
FIrst-The early age at which she
gave her heart to God. In the spring
time of life, ere yet "the evil days had
come," She took the nOblest, wisest,
step of life-thus devoting her besl
days to the service of her Maker
Second-The long period of time
spent in consistent. useful church mem
bership. Think of it, about eighty
years in the Christian warfare. Few
are permitted thus long TO walk the
paths of earth. If we should searcI
far and wide over our land, | doubt i
a parallel can be found to this.
Third-The beauty and force of hel
Christian life. She had been a dill
gent reader of Gods word, and store,
her mind well with precious jewels oI
divine truth-could quote readily and
converse intelligently and instructively
upon the sacred writings.
Her piety was constant, like the
ever flowing stream. "To rejoice ever
more and pIay without ceasing," was
the spirit possessed by her. Her room
was Bethel, and her voice was lifted
in prayer and praise.
Not long before her demise, said she
to her daughter-inlaw, minerva, do
You think | will die in this spell ? If
| do. remember | have gone to Heaven.
| shall see your dear father there,
Again, while she was engaged in sing
ing Farewell, vain world, / am going
home," her happy spirit rejoiced in the
glorious prospect before her. Thus
she passed away old and full of days.
$50 fades a sumner clou away.
So sinks the gale when storms sre DER;
So gently shuts the eye of day,
SO dies a wave along the Shore"
Her funeral obsequies were perform
by the writer, and Rev. G.. j. Bean.
at Goshen church, and she was laid
quietly down to await the summons
that will awake the sleeping millions to
changeless destiny.

operation; for without your help and

tablish stock sales in your county.

gent man-It will establish home

stock of the county-but some | pre-
sumo, are ready to say that eff | was

I'd bring my stock, but don't want the
trouble of driving there and back for
nothing" That you may have to do
one time, | will admit, but if every
man in the county who has stock for
sale or trade, will bring it to Hartford
on next first Monday. and there hap
pens not to be market for all the
stock, news will be spread by the
press through the country that the
stock was here, and of consequence
viii ever after, bring buyers. have

stock that comes for sale, and "a soon
as the weather will permit, scales will
be built for weighing stock. Hoping
