To TIE TRADE:-Practical experience
has demonstrated to US that The trade
requires q choice old Bourbon for inn

that straight whiskey that is absolute

Fl. Davenport whisky is always se-
lected from the finest, richest and best
grown in the State of Kentucky. The

Death of Col. Mills of Marietta.

One of the grandest old patriarchs
of all this region has quietly and
peacefully passed to his reward
without pain or suffering. The
people of Marietta were all mourn
ers, and paid universal tribute at
the large funeral, to the memory Of
this noble friend of humanity and
every good work. \
The following is from the Mariet-
ia Register, written previous to the
funeral;
DEATH OF COL. MILLS.
Last Monday Col. John Mills was
unusually well for one of his years
and as was his wont walked down
to the Point and looked upon tho
views which have almost daily
greeted his eyes for the last eighty
years and more.
At tea time he spoke of little
trouble in clearing his throat and
again at bed time but felt no con-
Germ himself and his family were
not alarmed at it. He retired as
usual and slept quietly until about
5 o'clock Tuesday morning, his
usual hour Of rising, when the diff
ficulty was greater, and he said to
Mrs. Mills that he believed he was
dying. A physician was sent for,
but before him the swift messenger
of death had come.
Con, Nills was born in Marietta,
Dec. z 1875, the year his fathers
family came to the Northwest Ter
ritory He began life as a clerk at
eighteen, became a proprietor at
twenty-one, and remained in the
mercantile business for forty years.
Many young merchants in Mariet-
ia owe to him much of their success
in life.
During his whole life he has
been identified with Marietta's
moral and material interests.
Scarcely an enterprise was begun
during fifty years Of his life with
out his counsel and assistance in
some way. Attic time of his death
he was President of the Gas Works
and of the Marietta Chair Compa--
NY. The latter institution will
stand as the greatest monument to
his business success and courage.
Few men at his age in 1874, when
its trials came by fire, would again
have stood in the breech risking
his fortune to rebuild it. And with
him a controlling motive was to
save to labor the employment it
had fitted it for. In moral move
ments he was foremost. From its
foundation in 1885 he was trustee
of Marietta College and gave liber-
ally to its endowment. He was an
earnest supporter of church enter
prises and lifelong member Of
the Congregational Church.
He stood with open hand and
heart to all worthy corners and
many are indebted to his assistance
for start in life or the com Portable
homes they enjoy. He leaves q
wife with whom he has lived since
1845 and four children. He laid
down his life at serene old age
with the fragrance of a hallowed
memory about it.

SENATOR BEN HILL DYING
WASHINGTON, MARCH Ex-senator
Ben Hill has almost abandoned all
hope of permanent cure. He has
had four surgical operations per-
formed without permanent relief.
The incision now refuses to heal,
and it is discharsing pus constant

that Mr.. Hill himself has INDUCED
no hope Of cure from the first, as he
lost a sister and brother from can

family.
SERGT. MAsoN's SENTENcE.-Ser-
geant Mason, the officer of the

onment at hard labor The findings
of the court have been approved by
Gen. Hancock, and ordered to be
carried into effect.
VILLAINoUs. = Some dastardly
villains have of late made several
unsuccessful attempts to wreck
passenger and freight trains on the
Ohio and W. Va. Railway, between
Middleport and Gallipolis. The
matter is being worked up by the
company's detective, and it is hoped
that the guilty parties will be found
out and punished to the full extent
of the law.-W Va. Radical.

Of u days, ending last week, John
W. Cain was convicted of the MUIR
der of Henry Brown, in the Jack
son Circuit Court. The Jury fixed
his term in the Penitentiary at IA
years.
We were in error last week in
saying that Mr.. John A. Hutchin-
son, of this city, was among the
able counsel for the defense. Mr..
Hutchinson assisted in the prosecu-
ton. There was a deep interest
taken in the trial by the people of
the county, and much feeling man
ifested.
