county Jail.
Altamont, Tenn. has a genuine
sensation, and it is another Alice
Mitchell case except the central fig
ure in it killed herself instead of her
girl sweetheart. Miss Katie Upton
was a beautiful and popular young
lady of that place and Il sister -in-law
of the County Court Clerk of Grundy
county. The young lady for whom
she had the infatuation was Miss
Lula Saunders, who married few
days ago. After the marriage Miss
Upton became despondent and final
ly sent pistol ball through her
heart. She left the following letter
to her mother:
II cannot live without Lula and
take this means of putting an end to
myself. Farewell"
Here is the one she left to the OBJ
ject of her infatuation;
"My Love, farewell. We are
caught, and rather than separate
from you now take my life. Drop
tear on the grave of her who dies
for you. Goodbye. KATIE"
The Wheelers are still losing
ground in Trigg county, says the
Cadiz Telephone. AS those who are
left are too busy with politics to have
any time for farming, it doesn't
make much difference whether
they have any ground left or have
lost it -Courier-JoWmal.

be dispensed.'
The Kentucky apple-tree, says the
Courier-J Journal, that measures nine
feet and three inches around the
trunk must be the one that got Father
Adam into trouble. Certainly a
good many Kentuckians believe that
the Garden of Eden was somewhere
in their beloved State.
Mt, Sterling had a $4,000 fire Sun

The following from the Courier
Journal will be read with interest by
many people in this section:
"Dr. Eaton s eleventh anniversary
as pastor was celebrated at the Wal
nut street Baptist church yesterday.
At the Sunday-schooI DIR. Whitsitt
presented bouquet of flowers to the
pastor from the ladies. He contrast
ed Walnut street church eleven years
ago with the church now and the
Baptist cause in Louisville then and
now. Then there were seven Baptist
churches in the city; now there are
fifteen. Now there are nearly as
many Baptists in Walnut street
church as there we're in the whole city
at that time. Then the Baptist Sem
mary was struggling for an existence.
There is no such struggle now.
1.-THE pastor made reply by asking
those who were present eleven years
ago to rise. Only thirty.seven arose.
"Mr. Speiden, who has been dea-
con and treasurer of the church for
twenty years, had fashioned beau
tiful acrostic design on the wall
"Touching the Eleventh Anniver-
sary Typifies Oneness Nicely" This
acrostic was inclosed in q circle,
which read: "Come, Let Us Anew
Our Journey Pursue" Touching,
reaching such long pastorate means
unity. Eleven is written two ones.
Our honor-roll at the Sunday.school
has 11l-three ones. DIR. Eaton began
his pastorate in '61.o
