Death Of Mrs. Jno, @. Dabney.
tCadlz Telephonc,l


II has been a long while since our
community has felt so saddened as 1t
has recently by the death of Mrs.
Matte Chappell-Dabney, wife of
Capt. John G. Dabney, who died at
her home on the morning of Jan. 25th.
We had long known Mrs. Dabney,
and had first admired the bright, in
tellectual girl, and the cheerful, hap
Ply wife and mother. Seeing her
frequently in her pleasant home and
enjoying her animated conversation,
tits hard, indeed, to realize that one
so essential to the happiness of hus-
band, home and little children, should
have passed so quickly and irrevoca-
bly, away from our midst. Seeming
ly, in the enjoyment of the health
and vigor of early womanhood, to
the bereaved ones, the separation
seems doubly hard. Yet "God moves
in mysterious way, His wonders to
perform" nor can we question the
divine decree. The deceased was a
faithful, affectionate wife, and de-
voted mother to the four little ones
she has left, the youngest of which is
a babe a few weeks old. To the sor-
rowing relatives, We would offer our
sincere sympathy, feeling that words
are vain and empty sounds and poor
consolation, indeed, in the hour of
affection. May the sorrowing COM
panion take refuge in the promises
of Him "whose mercy endureth for
: eyer;" may he find peace and comfort
in the fountain-head of consolation
that only abalm of Gilead" that can
aoothe the aching heart and "dry the
mourner's tear"
The many friends of Mrs. Dabney
in this city learn with deep regret Of
her untimely death.

1t will be seen that the "party
bosses" appropriated all the pie with
the exception of two small pieces,
which were used to conciliate the
colored four-fifths of the party.
With two exceptions the candidates
all reside in Hopkinsville. Capt.
Underwood and Capt. Mcdaniel,
both good officers, were put aside to
make room for more active partisans.
The ticket is exceedingly vulnerable
from head to tail, but of this we will
have more to say as the canvass pro-
crosses and the issues are Joined. There
are rumors and rumors ofhow some of
the nominations were secured. 10 of
the 81 committeeman were present
and the other two had proxies on
hand.

Go slow boys, and don't forget that
there has been but one candidate
