Since the death of street car mo-
torman, Powers, Lexington, hi,slccessor
and the conductors of cars have been
terribly frightened at what they be-
Iieved was the ghost of the mororman.
1t would mysteriously make its APP
Ipearance on the car, go for several
hundred yards and just as myster-
Rously disappear. Brave men become
EDWARDS when they encounter ghosts.

TIED Shooting.

During 1892 there has been mani
fest quite an interest in trap shooting
by the members of the Mt. Sterling
Gun Club and the Juniors" They
have had weekly meetings, and the
the practice has made some fine trap
shots In September and October Il
five days Blue Rock Tournament was
arranged and conducted, and the pro-
gramme attracted the expert trap
shots from far and near. Our clubs
have entertained and been entertainr d
by Winchester's crack Gun Club.
Some of the better shots of our club
have attended a number of tourna-
ments in the past year, and will likely
attend those to he given at Frankfort,
Hutchsnsom. Knoxville, Tenn, and
other points.
So far some of our boys get their
share Of the moneys. HERETOFORE our
members OF the Mt. Sterling Gun Club
have bad cheap guns, but during 1892,
have improved by purchaiing new
guns of nearly every standard make !;
but those of Parker Bros. aud the L..
G. Smith are in the majority. On the
18th of this month number of onr
club attended the shoot at Paris, Ky.
In the report of the shoot by the pa
pers we notice the best shooting is
credited to the Winchester Club, when

departments, for eight years or
more, in state of mine. They don't

change in the Civil Service law. CT
vii Service Commissioner Roosevelt,
in his anxiety in behalf of the repub-
lican office-holders, even took the
trouble to go over to New York for
the purpose of sounding President
elect Cleveland on the subject. The
immediate causes of this panicky
feeling on the part of those on Uncle
Sans pay roll to be safe were two
bills introduced in the House; one, by
Representative Martin, of Indiana, pro-
viding that from and after the first of
next July, all appointments in the
Government service should be for a
term OF four yeas and that each Off
cial so appointed should be eligible
for one reappointment, but no more ;
that all officials--here comes the part
that has upset the nerves of those who
have been feeding at the public trough
so long that they thought it belonged
to them-who have been in government
employ eight years or longer shall be
ineligible to reappointment, and the
other providing for suspension of
the Civil Service law, so far as il re-
lates to appointments and ramovals.
for period of one year from the be-
binning of each Presidential term.
Representative De Almond, of Mis-
souri,, the author of the last named
bill, says in preamble thereto that
no Administration can fully and salts
factorily carry its policies into execu-
ton if large portion of the subordi-
nate officers are hostile to such poll
cies.

i Died at the home OF his father SEN
ator u. f. Cockrell near this city
"wednesday the 18th, of violent at
tack Of Cholera Morbus, Capt. j. ID
Cockrell inthe 3lst year of his age
Funeral services were held at The
Methodist Church Thursday afternoon
at :l5 O'Clock by Rev. J. Rand, of
Lexington Assisted by Rev. A. Redd
aud Elder ii. ID. Clark of this city
He was buried in Machpelah Gene
try. Capt Cockrell was native of
Montgomery county. He receiv, d
his training here and finished his
course at the Kentucky Military In
stitute. Six years ago he was mar
ried to Miss Stella, daughter of j. w.
Chenault and to them were born two
children son past four years and a
daughter who proceeded him to the
bright shore. He was first Lieutci .
ant of the Montgomery County State
Guards andsubsequently was promoted
to the rank of Captain. AT the time
ofhis death he was u commercial repre-
sentative of Mack Stadler 81 Co., Of
Cincinnati and the owner of some of
the highest bred trotting horses of
this section, ahd was one of our repre-
sentative business men. In announce
ing the death of Mr.. Cockrell it is
with the deepest regret, he was one of
our warmest friends, and his
friends are our friends. The day
prior to his death he was in this city
miugling with friends and business
men, the picture of perfect health. In
the afternoon of the Fame day he
went out to see his father who was
sick at his home when the dread di-
sease made its attack. DIR. Drake saw
him three hours after aud everything
known to medical skill and science
was brought into requisition, but to no
avail, aud at 5:l5 on the morning of
the 18th his soul went to God who
gave it. Words are feeble things in
eulogy on the life and character of such
man as Mr.. Cockrel. His lovable
character in childhood which drew
him close to parents, brothers and
friends was the same only fully devel-
oped as he grew up to manhood. As
u son, Obedient and kind; husband
and father tender and loving a friend
and neighbor charitable, true and re-
sponsive; a business man prompt, ac-
curate, honorable and industrious.
This is the life slilled in death. Our
harps are hung on the willows.
/ Though the sun shines and its rays are
reflected from a snow covered earth,
gloom pervades the hearts of those
knownand loved His young wife in the
depths OF sorrow and bright eyed son
four and one half years old, who will
never know fathers counsel and love
I have the profoundest sympathy of our
people. May He who: cares for His
lambs soothe the troubled hearts amt
fill the aching void with His tender
loving mercies. And may the lowering
clouds OF sorrow give way to sunshine
ts they look to their God even though
it he through tears, and by faith lay
hold of the promises and rewards in
store for his people.

An old fruit tree may sometimes be

Keep we'll in mind the fact that by
increasing the yield per acre you lessen
the cost of production. You do not
profit, as is the case where you double
the amount of land in order to ac-
