suit Although short notice had been
given, it brought together many of our
people to witness the show of

really astonished at the splendid success
of the occasion, which convinced us
that this is as good a country for
raising mules and horses as any
other in this broad Republic. MI
Walton Mullin, besides mare and other
fine animals, had stallion abont three
years old that would have done credit to
any Kentucky fair, whether considered

Frank Collins had a mare surrounded
with four colts from one to five years
There were three saddle animals on ex-
hibitlon, one OF them belonging to Mr..
MulIin and the other two DR.. A. c. kuy-
kendall, but the beautiful bird-ike move

on our streets took tine blue ribbon. Mr..
William Yearger had fine specimen tf

years OF age. Now if our farmers will
only turn some of their attention to this
department of agriculture, the day is al
most at hand when as fine stock of cat

est citizens, but not of the oldest men,
Few men were better known in this
county than MI. Futhy. A man of
original expression, Of true courage, his
friends were all that knew him. Genial
in his nature, kind-hearted in his feel
ings, to do favor was to him labor of
love. He was the mai-carrier between
this place and Graysport, and was found
in diving condition in his little mail
cart near Mrs. Butier's, in the southeast
part of the town, to which place he was
taken, and without speaking word died
in few minutes. He made true Con-
federate soldier, and was followed 10 his
last resting place by a number OF his
comrades and friends. Peace to the
spirit Of Sam Futhy.

BROTHER McCKEERY Is

1t Is the Peoples Measure. and

Raleigh County Under:

Raleigh County Inder:
Much has been and is being said
about the third party with regard
to the amendment to be voted
upon next November. This is the
measure that interests the people
Of the whole State, irrespective of
party, race or color. The suppress
sion of the evils attending the
manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing drinks is the vital question
now agitating the public mind.
The good and noble women of our
rich, prosperous and progressive
State have more at heart than the
voters can have. The mothers and
wives who have drunken sons and
husbands are willing to make al
most any sacrifice to eradicate as
far as possible this evil from their
homes, and their neighbors' homes,
and to place as far as they can
from the reach of those who yield
to the appetite for drink, the mon.
ster which causes go much sorrow,
distress and anguish in homes that,
without it, there would no doubt
be happiness and contentment.
Our view is that the submission OF
the Prohibition Amendment is the
peoples measures and should be
dealt with as such, irrespective OF
political party affiliations. Let
every man vote for his party can.
didate and at the same time vote
for or against the Amendment, as
he may desire. If the friends of
the Amendment desire to succeed,
let them put it upon its merits and
urge the people to vote for its ad.
option, because it is right and to
the best interests of the State, and
society in every community there
of, and not as Republicans, Demo
Gratis or any other kind of politi-
clans. We are friends of the tenn
perance cause and desire to see it
prevail in the State, but let it do
so upon its merits generally.
