it is an absolute panacea, and for general use

A Fire.Haunted Man.

Mr.. James Minor, a wealthy bachelor
of Nelson County, and brother OF Hon.
William +. Minor. of this county, pos
sesses history 50 much out of the COM
mon run that it is well worthy of being
put on record. He is literally q fire.
haunted man. All his life he has been
persistently followed by . series of
strange fatalities that are in themselves
almost enough to cause the superstitious
to look upon his visits as something to
be dreaded. At the decease of his father
he inherited the homestead farm, the
dwelling on which was at that day one
of the finest residences in Nelson County,
having been erected at cost of $lO, 900.
1t caught fire and was consumed to
ashes. He erected new house at q
like cost, only to become in its turn food
for the hungry flames. He subsequently
engaged in the lumber business and lost
large and valuable lot of lumber by
fire. He then visited his brother,
residing in Hollis Bottom, this county,
and in two CT three days after his
arrival the dwelling of the latter was
consumed by fire. He then went to
Kansas to visit his stepmother. and while
they were conversing about the strange
fatality that seemed to dog him through
life, the kitchen of her house burst into
flames.
Returning to Kentucky and visiting at
the house Of a relative in his native
county, while the family were discussing
his bad luck-during the course of con-
versation his host assured him that
while they were glad to see him, of
course, they were rather afraid that they
would be burned up in consequence of
his visit-the kitchen of that house was
also discovered to be on fire. From
thence he proceeded to visit the family
of another relative in the same county,
and, as usual, the subject of the re-
markable fatality that seemed to pursue
him formed the staple of conversation.
A broom in the room was ignited by a
spark from the fire, whereupon the
Young lady of the house remarked that
She had left some fire in the parlOr and
she believed she would go and see if
everything was right. Opening the
parlor door, the apartment was discov-
cred to be in flames. If any county in
any State can produce man who can
truthfully point to a life filled with such
strange experiences, or anything at all
approaching them, now is the time to
bring him to the MISUNDERSTANDING
