left this city some twenty-seven
years ago and engaged in the mer-

Nashville. He was prosperous,
and soon became a member of the
extensive firm of Macy & Brown,

few years ago, when he was COM
PEELED to retire from active business
on account of protracted ill-health.
He was a man of splendid business
qualifications and tact, and also pos
sessed of remarkable social graces
and attachments. He was greatly
liked by all who knew him, wheth-
er in business or the social circle,
where his affable manners and ge-
nial nature won for him many adj

Death of Mrs. j. J. Thomas.

We clip the following from the
Paducah News of Saturday last.
Mrs. Thomas has many friends in
this city and vicinity: -.... y /.
Mrs. Kate Thomas, wife of Major
j. j. Thomas died at the family
residence on Clark street, i'm this
city, yesterday about $3.50 O'Clock
p. m. after a lingering illness of
about six months. She was born
near Frankfort, KY, in February,
1880, was married to Major Thomas
July II, 1852, and lived most of her
married life in Christian county,

cab about five years ago. She was
the daughter of the late John r.

niece of Hon. John j. Crittenden,

people in Kentucky, Missouri and
elsewhere in the West and South.

Reform If AJtooetbe,. >,

At recent public entertainment,
lady remarked to us that il would
be great improvement if the GUS
tOmary scale of prices were revers-
ed, so that while grown people were
admitted at the present rates, boys
under sixteen should be charged
double. This was suggested by the
intolerable yelling, screeching, whis-
Ting and stamping kept up by a GER
tain set of boys, before and in the
intervals of the performance.
Boys, you had better quit it, there
can't be much fun left in it now, if
there ever was any; it must have
become monotonOus by this time,
and it has become such a nuisance
to every body else that, if you don't
reform it yourselves, you will find
it taken in hand by other people
who will reform it for you.

penth of Sd. C. Hendr,ct

His many friends and acquaint-
ances in this city learned with great
regret and sorrow of the untimely
death of Mr.. Ed. c. Hendrick, a
brother of Mr.. David s. Hendrick
of this city, and son of Rev. J. T.
Hendrick, of Paducah, KY. His
death occurred at Flemmingsburg,
KY, on Monday last, from the eff
feet of a large carbuncle ON the back
of his neck, which was aggravated
by severe cold caught at the same
time, the two in some way effecting
his spinal column, and causing
death after several days of great
suffering.
Mr.. Hendrick was well-known in
this city, having graduated here at
the S. w. p. University in the
class of 1876, and afterwards studied
law at Paducah, KY, where he
practiced for a while and then re-
moved to this city and was admit
ted to the bar here. About a year
ago, however, he was offered part
nership with a relative at Flem-
mingsburg, KY, whittier he moved
and we learn was enjoying Il good
practice at the time of his sudden
death. He was a rising young
man, possessing a trained and ANA
lytical mind and fine natural tai
ents, and would doubtless have ris-
en- high in his chosen profession.
He was genial and greatly liked by
all who knew him, and many
friends in this city heard with sad
dened hearts of the going out of so
talented and ambitious a young
life. He was only about twenty
three years of age. His remains
were taken to Paducah for inter-
ment. We mourn his death as that
Of a sincere and much-esteemed
friend, and extend our heartfelt
sympathy to his bereaved family
and friends.

WE regret to learn of the death
OF Mrs. Zilpah Rankin, mother of
Mrs. j. ID. Barbee, the wife of the
esteemed pastor of the Methodist
Church of this city, who died at her
home in Chattanooga, on Friday,
October the 18th, aged IA years.
Mrs. Rankin was a most estimable
and greatly beloved lady. One
who knew her well writes of her:
"Her life was an uneventful one,
and was devoted to the training of
her children and to acts of benifi-
cent love. Cheerful and hopeful,
she was a pleasant companion to all
who met her. Though many times
brought near to the dark river, she
never trembled at its gloom, and
when the message came at last so
peaceful were her dying moments
that she seemed but to draw the
drapery of her couch about her,
and lay her down to pleasant
dream" sr~..s.-

WE learn that two of our "yonng
Americas" made up their minds
last Monday night that they wanted
to be circus men, whether the circus
wanted them or not. So slowing
themselves away in two of the large
tubs used by the trained elephants,
they left with the circus en- route to
Nashville. The property man dis
covered them, however, before the
train reached Guthrie, and "bounc-
ed" them. They returned home
Tuesday morning safe and sound
probably with the stern conviction
that circus life is not all a rosy
dream.

The Ashland Mob.

Most of. our readers are familiar
with the circumstances of the muir
der of the Gibbons family near
Ashland, KY, last winter by three
men named Neal, Craft and Ellis.
Ellis confessed, was tried, sentenced
to the penitentiary for life, but was
hung by a mob. Neal and Craft
were tried once, convicted, but af-
forwards granted a new trial and
change of venue. This greatly en-
ragged the citizens who swore they
would lynch the prisoners before
they should be taken to another
county for trial. Gov. Black burn
ordered a portion of the Kentucky
militia under command of Major
John r. Allen to go to Ashland,
guard the prisoners and take them
to Lexington. This he proceeded
to do on Wednesday. The prison
ers were placed on a steamboat at
Catlettsburg to be taken to Carter
county, but as the boat passed Ash
land it was fired on by the infuria-
ted mob. The militia returned the
fire with deadly effect, no less than
twenty-nine persons are reported to
have been killed and wounded.
The affair has created great terror
and excitement in Kentucky. Sew
eral of the soldiers were wounded,
but they succeeded i'm getting away
with the prisoners. The militia
are severely censured by some, but
justified by others. We have not
yet learned the full particulars.

Trial Treatment Free-NO Charge
for Consultation.

Catarrh is the forerunner of bron-
chial troubles, lung diseases and pre-
mature death. 1t is a loathsome dis
ease, that if neglected soon attacks the
vital organs. Startling IS it may seem,
fully one-third of the inhabitants of
this section are afflicted with nasal
catarrh, and fully one-half of the deaths
from consumption are directly tracea-
BILE to neglected cases. Ihave a radical
remedy for catarrh and will guarantee
to cure all cases that will present them
selves at my Office for treatment. My
terms are very reasonable, and trial
treatment is given free of charge to all
applicants. Call for references to des-

raf aoAo-YoRNNe QUESTION.

We stated last week that ait was
rather a strange coincidence that
the day set for working the public
roads in the various districts of the
county tailed exactly with the APP
pointments of the State Credit can
didates TO speak in the different dis
tricts," and further wanted to know
"if this was another of the little, dis
reputable schemes to prevent the
people of Montgomery county from
hearing an open, fair and hOnora-
BILE discussion of the questions at
issue in the canvass"
We also asked "why il was that
the hands were called out upon the
public roads In District No. Is on
Wednesday last Eve meant and so
wrote it, Saturday, Oct. q, the day
of the speaking at Grantville) and
again in District No. 3, on Monday,
Oct. %, these being the days set for
State Credit speaking in these dis
tricts."
Z We understand that certain of
our friends feel themselves ag-
grieved at our article, and state that
we are mistaken about the two dis
tricts named.
Well, we may be mistaken but
do not think so; if they will show
us that we are, we will readily
make the "amende honorable"
We, Of course, meant the road
not the particular civil dis
tricts, for, as we understand it, the
road districts generally comprise
several of the civil districts. We
were reliably informed and shall |
believe, until fUrnised with posi-
tive proof to the contrary, that there |
was public road working in the |
of Granville on the
day named, and also near Ringgold
on thedayspecified. There have been
public road workings in others road
districts of the county on the day |
and near where Messsrs. Rhodes
and Alternately were advertised to
speak. We believe it was done
with view to call off and prevent |
men from attending these appoint
ments; especially the colOred men.
We charge no particular man with
this little, contemplate piece of pO-
litical trickery, but believe it was
and ordered to be carried
out by the "bosses" of the Readjus-
ter. movement in this county. We
believe this and other low, con-
political .chicanery has
been resOrted to in this county to
defeat the candidates of State Credit
and State honor, and we want and
intend that the fair-minded, justice
loving, open-dealing citizens of the |
county shall know it. We have
made no charge against any indi-
vidual, but do charge that it is the
work of the party. However, if
any man has been a party to such
an unfair scheme, and the cap fits
him, he is at liberty to wear it. We
have never done any man injustice,
We simply state the truth. a .e-.-l
