Slightly Paralyzed.

Hon. E. H. Taylor, jr., Mayor of the
city, who has been confined to his bed
for the past week or two, suffered a
slight stroke of paralysis on Thurs
day of last week, which affected his
right side. We are glad to state,
however, that he has recovered
sufficiently to be able to use both arm
and limb, his brain is as clear as ever
and his physician thinks he will soon
be all right again. Mayor Taylor is
one of our most enterprising and
energetic business men, and his host
of friends regret to hear of his mis-
fortune, and earnestly hope to see
him out again soon.

Mrs. B. T. Milton, who was par
alyzed last week, died at her home in
Lexington OH Saturday. night and
was buried Monday. The aged hus-
band has many friends here who
deeply sympathise with him, now
that he takes up the burden of life
alone.
Little Margaret, the bright and
beautiful daughter Of Mr. L. II. Chiles
and wife, died at their home in Mt.
Sterling on Friday, after linger-
ing illness with typhoid fever. Mr..
Chiles and wife have many friends
and relatives in this city whose
hearts go out in sympathy to them in
their sore affection.

The Fail Celebration.

Mr.. P. Fall Taylor, Secretary of the
Louisville Fall Celebration, spent
Sunday in this city visiting his moth
err and sister, and reports everything
in readiness for a grand display next
month in the Falls City. He is live,
energetic young man, and we can
safely say that if every one CONNECT
ed with the fall celebration have done
their work as faithfully and consci-
entiously as Fall Taylor, it is bound
to be perfect success in every re-
spect. Like all Frankfort boys of
pluck, who leave home to make liv-
ing, he is going right up to the front
and is bound to succeed in life.

Close Work.

Douglas Camp, Knights Of Friend
ship, of this city, went to Mt. Sterl-
ing and drilled for prize Of seventy
five dollars against Winchester Camp,
on Saturday. The two drill corps
were so evenly matched and so close
was their work that the judges were
unable to decide which was entitled
to the prize, and it was agreed to di-
vide it between the two Camps.
Douglas Camp is composed OF fine
body of young colored men, who take
great pride in their drill and are not
afraid to tackle any other organiza-
ton upon the parade ground. Their
movements are all well executed, and
they generally carry off one of the
prizes when they enter contest.

Campbell, alias Black, was arrested
Saturday on charge of carrying a
concealed weapon, tried in the Po-
lice Court and sent to the Work
House, in default of the payment of

since developed that he is an ex-con-
vict, having been sent to the peni-
Tertiary from Hopkins county for
two years, his term expiring last
July. From suspicious circumstances

10 some of his pals in the peniteL-
larry, and on Monday his satchel
as found concealed behind the Arse
VI, in which were eighteen large
icks of dynamite, with fuse and
os for firing the same, and it is
.ieved it was his intention o blow
own the walls some night and give
lis confederates chance for liberty.
Je is still in the work-house and
ny be held on more serious charge
