A CARD OF THANKS.

Out of the depths of my sorrow and be-
reavement, l desire, in behalf of myself
and family to give some expression of
gratitude TO the many, very many friends,

the impenetrable shadows of gloom en-
shrouded our home and hearts. Only those
who have loved and lost" can fully enter
into our great and overwhelming sorrow.
Our friends have greatly helped us to bear
our crushing burden! The kilograms ard
loving and tender letters. received by every

profusion beautiful flowers, for our "prect
ious dead" have won our undying love.
To Mr.. J. D. Woodwork and his most es>
Unable family, and also to Rev. J. W.

CRUSHED TO DEATH.
REV. SAMUEL BENEDICT KILLED.

A Cincinnati, Ohio, telegram of
the 9th inst, states that at O'Clock
that evening, Rev. Samuel Benedict.
tor many years the beloved rector
of st. Pauls Protestant Episcopal
Church of Cincinnati, lost his life
by an elevator accident. He was
visiting parishioner in San Rafael
flats, Il splendid building in West
entleth street, a short distance
from the Grand hotel. He hal de-
scended from an elevator from the
third floor to the first floor and was
stepping out, when, by an unac-
countable freak the elevator shot
upwards. He had stepped out with
his lett foot and he tried to get back.
The elevator caught his right leg
near the hip between the car and
oaken girden of the next floor. The
bones were absolutely crushed into
small parts. After much trouble
he Was extricated, having been sus
pended next the ceiling in terrible
agony for several minutes. He died
before he could be taken to the hos.
pital.
Rev. Mr.. Benedict was for fifteen
years or more Rector of St. James
Episcopal Church, Marietta, before,
during and since the war. He ac~
cepted the call to Cincinnati num-
Der of years ago where he has been
ever since. His sad death has cast
a gloom over the hearts of his old
Pensioners here and our citizens
who knew and loved him. He
was an able minister, pure and con-
secrated, and a most courteous and
noble gentleman. His children were
born and raised here and have many
true friends here. He has son in
Athens, Ca, DIR. Samuel Benedict,
who married i ere and is highly re-
spected. We deeply sympathise
with his bereaved family in his de-
deplorable death.

SWEET HOME! FAREWELL!

SWEET HUME! FAREWELL!
My home, sweet home farewell to thee;
Full many year loved thee WE'LL
There's not tree, there's not flower
But hath its tale of love to tell.
I'll love to think OF days gone by,
When, in their innocence and glee,
Our wee ones played beneath thy shades,
With hearts from every care, so free
Tho sorrow with its dark ming wing
Didst cast its shadows Ger our home.
Yet Faith, with humble heart looked M
And Hopes bright altar dispelIed the gloom
Our loved ones who have gone before,
Are free from care, and are at rest,
We murmur not; but say Amen,
Our Father knoweth what is best.
It's thus in life fond ties are rent
TO lead our hearts in prayer above,
That we may all invited be,
In that Sweet Home OF peace and love.

lingly. 1t seems to be the pride of on
State, as well as our National Govern
ment, that her people shall be educated
that they may better know how to assist
in such measures as will rebound to thl
honor and glory of our proud old Conf
monwealth.
We are informed that in the earliesl

seeker dared not, for fear of defeat, eI
press himself on this question. How diff
ferent it is today One who would adj
vocate such an idea would be considered
a common enemy to all mankind. Our
progress in education since 1888 has been
wonderful. Today it is like great
wheel rolling down an inclined plane,
gaining speed in every revolution. Woe
to the man or people who attempt to
stop its accelerated speed. 1t is wonder
full to note the increased efforts being

Academy, which is one of the best insti-
buttons this side of Lexington. In this
institution they can take the teachers
course, which prepares teachers in all the
common school branches required to be
taught in this State. Besides this they
can take a business, and a preparatory
course for Lexington University. This
is an important step toward the future
progress of common schools in the mound
tains of Eastern Kentucky. So long as
the people are anxious about the future,
they will be secure, but if they should
fall into apostacy, the future would b@
in danger of relapse and barbarism. Thd
common free school is the fountain whose

The only Protection that will effect
ually protect all people, all classes, all

SELF Projection acquired only from,
truthful knowledge of ways and
means, legal and illegal, just and unI
just, by which the burdens of govern.
ment, profits of labor and industry, are
so unequally divided.
That knowledge is power, and ignor-
ance its slave, is forcibly illustrated
daily in all walks of life, among all
people, in all countries.
Where knowledge is used as power
or means for gaining wealth without
labor or an equivalent therefor, it be-
comes necessary to deceive or keep in
ignorance of such methods those from
whom the wealth is taken; hence it is
that of the ten thousand newspapers
printed in the United States, less than
ten are absolutely free and independent
of the power or control of some class,
party or monopoly whose interest it is
to keep the great mass of people in
ignorance of their methods.
The Cincinnati Weekly Enquirer is
one of the few, if not the only one,
absolutely free from such influences.
1t is the most honest, thorough, able
teacher and exponent of truthful
knowledge, of reliable data, free from
partisan bias, fair, frank and explicit
to such degree that one cannot but feel

Mr.. Brown kept store and acted as a

One cold, windy day late in autumn,

a rocky bluff which overlooked the
beautiful and quiet village below, in
close consultation as to how they could
initiate themselves into the good graces
of Squire Brown sufficiently to OBJ

JOKE ON JUDGE Tut,
Told by a Neighbor Who Was An Eye
Witness to the Self-Inficted
Punishment,

A good joke is told on Steve Tut,
County Judge of Wolfe county. Judge
Tut is engaged in number of business
enterprises in Wolfe, and is one of the
stirringest men of his section. For some
months he has been engaged in logging
for the Kentucky Union Lumber Co.
The temporary embarrassment of the
company has annoyed and interrupted
the Judges business considerably, so
much so that he wants to kick himself
for ever engaging in it. The story goes
that neighbor was passing the Judges
house a few nights ago and heard ter
rible switching going on. Approaching
nearer, Judge Tut was seen with heal
thy, well developed two year cd hickory
sprout threshing himself vigorously. He
would occasionally stop and put such
questions to himself as, Are you ever
going to log again?" "Didn't tell you
It was mean work, anyway" I" What
am going to do with that hundred yoke
of old oxen ?"-Lexington Transcript

Good" replied the other, 81 think
that must work"
! Accordingly, the first speaker entered
the store, and, taking seat by the fire,
proceeded to fill and light his pipe, after
which he pulled a newspaper from his
pocket, and to all appearances seemed
deeply interested in its contents.
Soon the door opened and number two
entered. Good morning, Captain
| Lord" exclaimed the newcomer, as he
grasped his companions hand.
Good morning, Squire Andrews"
returned the latter. "Glad to see you.
But what has brought you up here this
cold day?"
"Oh, urgent business" returned the
latter. Il am about getting ready for
my winters job on the lot purchased
last year over in Blackguard's district"
Indeed" replied his companion. Il
am on the same errand. AS failed to
get my price on my pine lot, 1 con-
Guided TO put in a crew and clear the
lot of pine and then sell for what can
get"
In this way they went on talking of
mortgages, big oxen and farms, until
the astonishcd merchant, notwithstand-
ind their seedy and cheap appearance,
actually thought them two old miserly
nabobs, who cared more for the mighty
dollar than personal appearances.
Before leaving they informed Squire
Brown that as they were to do big
business during the winter, and were
short of money just then, their help be-
ing poor men who must have their pay
every Saturday night, they would like
to run an account for few weeks.
Shortly after pair of heavy, long
legged boots incased the feet of each
of the men. Clothing and stores
of food accessories were shipped to
camp. The indebtedness had reached
ND into the hundreds when the squire
learned that he had been duped by two
worthless, shiftless fellows.-Shoe and
