Miss Ida May Parsley was born in
Rutherford county, Tenn, Dec. rs,
1861. At the early age of twelve years
she embraced the faith of Christ and
gave clear and satisfactory evidence
A sound conversion to God. She Joined
the Methodist Episcopal Church, south,
at once. Her connection with II has
never been interrupted or discontinued
until now. In company with Ler Ia
Their and his family she came to Fort
Worth, Tex, in December, 1879. Aprli
20, 1882 she was married to u, II.
Chollar, who survives her. They lived
happily together during the two Driei
years of welded life. While on visit
TO her fathers house last October her
health gave way, and for the sake oil
her father'and mothers tender nurs-
ing she and her husband remained
with them during her illness. The
disease soon developed into pulmonary
consumption, and 1t was but little
while till we all saw that she must die;
For seven months she fingered ana
languished in intense suffering. But
all this while no one ever
heard mlrmur of complaint
from her. A more patient, submissive,
pure and holy spirit have never seen
crapple with the mysteries and suffer
ings of death, From the first she
showed the fullest confidence In Him
whom she had believed, and through
His grace she gained the victory. rms
writer has witnessed many death-oeu
scenes, but few equal to, ana none
more triumphant than this one Last
Monday night she and all her family
realized fully that the time OF her dc,
narture was ut hand, but not q cloud
obscured her spiritual skies. Though
suffering the greatest pain, yet she
could plead with weeping friends and
kindred to rejoice with her In victory
and meet her by and by In heaven
Her spiritual vision seemed supernat
ural. Her unsealed eyes seemed al
ready TO gaze on the liking In Hi
Bea,ity.n She said "already bands o
angels were present waiting to bear mel
sni5it across the cold death stream;
and again 1T Is not far, just a iitti'

The Second Kentucky District has
had nineteen Congressman during
the last 50 years and only five of
them were their own successors. Mr.
Clay cannot claim an endorsement
by right of precedent, for half a
century's precedent is against such
aclaim. OF the six Representatives
since the war, only two-Drown and
Mckenzie were endorsed.

participation in the disturbance
which took place it Ed Casky's last
week.
Col. w. H. Gabard, j. w. Wiles,
Douglas Lander, Brother Spyer aud
Kenneth McIlae were among the
transient visitors at the Station last
week.
Mr.. Christ, master of bridges, has a
crew of nine men building a new tres

proyement.
Our community was never so I'M
healthy as it has been for the past
two months. No cases have as yet
proved fatal, though several persons
are by no means out of danger.
The watermelon 'patches" Of Gun
Gle" Billie Bart, Henry Berry and Ed
Casky have been burglarizcd extern
sively lately. The "patch" of the lat
ter was literally torn up both fruit
and vines.
A few days since a young lady and
her sister came to one of the station
emporiums to make some purchases.
The eldest left her sister in the buggy
while she entered the store to pur-
chase. While there rain came up and
the polite salesman promptly suggest
ed, 'Mrs. -, you had better ask
your daughter to come in out of the
rain" 1t was good joke, both on
the young lady and our jolly citizen.
lIopkinsville does not harbor all
of the mean cussLs in the county.
Last Tuesday night some one passed
through the farms of w. b. Yancy,
G.. III. Harrison and Mr.. Lowery,
breaking up wagons, plows, &c, tear
ing down numerous panels of fenc-
ing, breaking up gates and destroying
the growing tobacco and corn. These
gentlemen are among our most quiet.
inoflensive citizens, and the party
who did this damage must be mean
indeed. 1t is very probable that he
will soon be found, and if so a quick
meeting of few neighbors with cow
hides, will save the county any ex-
pense in the matter.

The Indianapolis Sentinel edito-
rally charged Blaine with certain
misdemeanors committed in 1850 and
was promptly sued for $4,000 for
libel. The Chicago Times published
substantially the same charges and
stated that it had afiidavits to back
them up and strange to say the Times
has not been sued. Why does Mr..
Blaine discriminate thusly?
