The Late Governor Hardin.

The Late Governor Hardin.
"Man born of woman is of a few
days and full of trouble"
Sooner or laterthe pale messenger
comes to all men and we go to swell
the ranks of the silent majority on
the other side of the river. The
summons has come TO our friend and
co-laborer, Charles II. Hardin, and
we desire, as a body of which he was
the honored president, to express
our high appreciation of his noble
character and many virtues. In
private life he was ever the true
friend, the genial companion, the
faithful adviser, the humane and
charitable gentleman and the hum
BILE and consistent Christian. In
his public character he was above
shame or reproach-brave, manly
and honest; his hands were clean
and his record without spot or
blemish.
Be it resolved by this Board:
LIST. That in his death the entire
State suffers an irrepairable loss, this
community a model citizen, his
church a devoted member and a
bright light and this board its ablest
adviser.
I'd. That we deeply sympathize
with his sorrowing widow and COM
mend her to the Christian God who
alone can wipe away all tears and
give peace to the troubled heart.
3rd. That these resolutions be
spread upon our minutes and a copy
furnished the widow of our deceased
friend. VIM. Pollock,

BLAINE IS VERY SICK
General Alarm Felt Over His
Slow Recuperation.
HIS DOCTORS ARE NoN-coMMITTAL.

No Doubt That His Heath is PsrmansntI,
shattered and That Each Recurring Ill
ueSa Leaves Him Less and Less Able t,
ReooVer-His Present Trouble Serious.
New YORK, Nov. PA Washington
special to morning paper says Mr..
Blaine is still very sick man and that
his physicians are in daily attendance.
General alarm is felt among his many
friends in Washington regarding hii
slow recuperstion.
Doctors Are Non-Committal
The doctors are non committal when
questioned on the subject of Mr.. Blaines
health. They are making no predictions,
and give no opinion either way.
Mr.. Bisine's condition may be better
to-day or tomorrow" was remarked to a
reporter by person thoroughly familiar
with the sick room, "but what his con.
dition will be week from to-day, or two
weeks from to-day, cannot be pred let ed.
His Health Permanently Shattered.
''Mr. Blaine's health seems 10 have been
permanently shattered. His decline be-
gan two or three years ago, and ever
since the current OF physical life has been
marked by occurrences of an illness of
varying character.
Sometimes mis- throat troubles him.
At another time cold to which he is
subject, settles in some other portion of
his body.
His Present Illness the Most Serious.
"The present illness is, perhaps, more
serious than he has had for some time 1t
is caused by disturbed digestion, which,
to man in Mr.. BIaine's condition, must
cause severe shock to his already en-
teebled system"
That Mr.. Blaine will never recover nor
nal health is fact that every body in
Washington is beginning to appreciate.
Even with the great care he receives, the
least baneful influence either of a phvsi-
cal or mental nature, causes a relapse.
Every relapse leaves him less and less
able to recover.
