his intention of preaching awhile, but as
he seemed to have no papers to identify

In Memory Of Little Pascal.

| There is a reaper whose name Is Deati
and on the 18th of this month he once
more visited earth and took its cold, re-
morscless arms "a dove pure and spot
less" from the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Alexander Dudderar, OF Louisville.
Little Pascal had come on visit 10
his grandparents when the dreadful dis
ease Of spotted fever claimed the little
victim as It's own. His sulierings were
brief. for only II hours did God let the
cloud of pain rest on bis little breast
for lie called him home to a brighter
world than this, where sorrow and sick
ness can never enter. Dear little Pascal,
the ioy and sunbeam of loving home,
has gone to dwell with the angels. For
only two short years did his little light
shine. then Jesus took the little one
home and the many friends of the be-
reaved parents extend to them their sim
cere sympathy in that sad hour that
brought sorrow to their hearts, but the
dear Lord had place in heaven Tor
him and the time had come to remove
him lust as he was beginning to maze
home happy with his sweet and childish
WAYS and fill their hearts with JOY. But
ne is not lost. only gone before, and
while our hearts 90 out in sympathy to
the parents, We can but remind them
that He said: "SufIer little children to
come unto me and forbid them not, for
of such is the kingdom OF heaven.
The funeral was held at the residence
of little Pascal's grandparents, Mr. and
Mrs. WIN. Moutry, near Rowland. rev.
John Bell Gibson ofiiciated. The sing
ing was selected and rendered by Messrs.
O'Hara, Moberly and McClary.
Dear little Pascal is safe in the arms
of Jesus" and we are sure he is waiting
and watching for papa and mamma.
Two wears he grew in sun and shower,
Then nature said, "a lovelier Hover
On earth was never sowDi
The child to myself will take;
He shall be mine and will make
An angel of my own"
Thus Nature spoke. The work was done;
How soon our darlings race was run
He died and left to me
This heath. this calm and quiet scene;
The memory of what has been,
And never more will be.
We will not think him dead,
But only gone before
To a garden fair and palace bright,
By a river with fiower-strewn shore
Of Won God demands the sacrifice;
10 stronu il ia his call.
With lingering hands and broken heart,
On the altar lay your all,
Think of Him who died for you,
Surrender your baby boy.
Come quickly, now, and kneel and say:
"Thank God, Thou hast our joy"

as their OVERRIDING the mark. The unions

The County Convention.

A county convention is called by
the democrats to meet at Stanford, May
I'd, TO make nomination for representa-.
tive in the next legislature. Tomorrow
the 25th, is designated for the precinct
meetings which are to appoint delegates
TO that convention.
With no purpose to help or to hinder
any ones aspirations in this direction,
but with single view to the credit and
best interest in the county, we feel it en-.
cumbent on us to call attention to the
unusual responsibility OF to-morrow's &C.
ton.
The next legislature will he the most
important which has met in Kentucky
in this generation. Ii the new constitu-
ton is accepted it will be legislature of
transcendent importance, because to it
will fall the duty of adjusting the entire
body of our laws to radically new condi-
tons If,as is more likely, the work of the
Frankfort convention is rejected, still
the impetus given by it to the public
discussion OF many questions OF grave
concern will undoubtedly bring them
before the next General Assembly Tax
alton, the restriction OF corporate priv
leges, increased efficiency of our courts,
and other like weighty matters so fully
legislated about in the new constitution,
will be sure, in the event OF that instru-
ment's defeat, TO confront our 'aw-mak-
ers next winter. The coming legisla-
ture, therefore, should by all means be
composed of able and experience d men.
Each county should be careful to send a
man of this character and all the coun-
ties should unite in generous emulation
as to which shall send the best one. We /
earnestly hope that Lincoln county will |
take this view of the situation. There |
is, we know, in all parts OF the county a .
strong though unorganized sentiment in
this direction. 1t should be organized
and make Itself felt. Let us remind our.
selves, for once in a way, that we are by
no meaus restricted in our choice TO the
candidates who offer themselves how
ever excellent they may be. There may
be men who are not candidates, but who
at this juncture might make more eff
cient and satisfactory public servants and
we are confident that the two offering
would cheerfully submit if satisfied that
the people thought so. In a popular
government the sovereign people can
DEMAND public service from any citizen. {
Such demand, we feel assured, would
be needed in this instance. 1t is surely
worth trial. Our suggestion, therefore,
made solely in the public interest and in t
Difference to the best public sentiment,

HARGIs q EAsTIN, Louisville, who are
noted for charging outrageous fees and
bleeding estates, whenever the courts
will allow them, have received a tempo
rary check. They demanded S25, 900 for
their services from the gas company, but
on a suit to force it the chancellor cut
them down S24,500, which is perhaps
more than they really deserved. 1t will
be remembered that the firm bled the
Bull estate and the Standiford heirs to
to the extent of very many thousands OF
dollars. Judge Hargis somewhat atones
for his extortion and calms his con-
science by giving literally to religious
causes, among them $500 to every new
church built in the mountains. This is
good disposition to make of the mon
ey, but it doesn't fool old Master by a
long sight
