MARY HOLMES.
Mary daughter Of Charles and Anna Patton,
was born in Clark County, Ky, January 91st,
1915. In the early autumn of 1884, she came
on horse back to visit friends in Highland
County, arriving at Fall Greek Nov. 10th. Soon
after her arrival she became acquainted with
James Holmes to whom she was married Nov.
l1th, 1885 and did not return to her native
home for more than 80 years. They resided
on Hardin's Creek a short time and then moved
to the farm now owned by Allen Ockerman.
Having lived there for 80 years they moved to
New Lexington, where her husband died Aug
21st 1874. Since that time she has known
what it is to accept the promises Of God to the
widow, and has found them source Of great
comfort. Feeling the need of home in some
branch of the Christian Church and being
in sympathy with the doctrines and customs of
the German Baptist, she identified herself
with that church, August, 1s47, and was bap-
tized by John Mohler, ST. She lived an hon
ored member Of that church and faithful
christian life until 9 o'clock, Nov 3rd, 1888
She was living with her youngest daughter
Mrs. VIM. NJ. Riley, at the time of her death.
When the spirit plumed its wings and took its
fight doubtless accompanied by convoy Of
angels, from its tenement Of clay to God who
gave it and we have committed her body to
its mother earth to return dust as it was,
knowing that God will watch over each parti-
Gle, until he shall bid it rise. For this corrupt
ible must put on interruption, and this mortal
must put on immortality" death where is thy
sting2" "Grave where is is thy victory2n A
mother in Israel is gone. When her brethren
and sisters surround the communion table,
they viii miss her there, her visible presence
they will no more enjoy, but she will be hold
ing sweet communion with him who has said
This do ye, as oft as ye drink it in remem-
brance Of me- Among ermany virtues, none
probably were more prominent than her kind
ness to the poor. Many who enjoyed her hos
pitality, will rise up and call her blessed. She
was the mother Of nine children, four of whom
have preceded her, five are left to mourn the
loss Of O loving affectonate mother, but with
the blessed assurance that she has gone from
their embrace to the mansion prepared by her
Savior. Though her sufferings were great,yet
| through all she was patient and cheerful and
talked calmly and beautifully of her departure
She longed for such deliverance as death only
could give her, waiting anxiously for the heav
emily messenger to bid her come home.

Of Mr.. Jonah Britton, Of Union township, one
Of Highland county's most prominent farmers.
Exactly at 12 o'clock the ceremony was pro-
nounced by Rev. A. D. Maddox, of Lynchburg,
in the presence of about fifty relatives and
friends. Immediately after the ceremony the

themselves to tables weighed down with all the
delicacies of the season.
The afternoon was pleasantly spent in con
versation singing, ETC., after which the guests
departed, wishing the newly married couple
nothing but happiness and prosperity.

All Of the Hillsboro papers are loud in
their praise Of Miss Sarah Reed, a highly
accomplished young lady Of that city, who
desires to be appointed to the position Of
Recording Clerk in the next Legislature.
Miss Reed is the daughter Of one Of the
old stagers of Democracy of Highland
county, and it would afford us great pleas
ure to be some assistance to her by recon-
mending her to our Senator and Represen-
tative, but they are both finty-hearted Re
publicans and we don't suppose it would
be worth while to say anything to them
about using their influence to secure the
appointment of q Democratic lady as Re
cording Clerk. It may be, though, that
our Representative, who is a handsome
young bachelor, might be prevailed upon
to use his influence in the right direction if
the applicant is young and handsome. Joe
is a confirmed Republican, but he is not
yet placed in the list of confirmed baohe-
ors.-Waverly Watchman.

publication. Cause, want Of sufficient

little sheet, creditable to the town, and
made a gallant struggle for existence, but
it could not fight against fate or overcome
