We would call the attention of our
readers to the card of the Kentucky
Buggy and Harness Works of this
city, which appears on another page,
and commend them to our citizens.
This enterprise is supported by local
capital, and backed by men of sterl-
ing business ability, who are native
born Kentuckians. Though they
have only been in the field as whole
sale manufacturers of fine handmade
vehicles and harness less than two
years, they have built for themselves
an enviable place in the business
world. They have the most perfectly
equipped plant in the South, and are
now turning out from three to five
vehicles a day, which they find ready
sale for to the dealers of the country.
They also do repairs of all kinds on
vehicles, old or new, and should
merit your patronage and good will.

OF HEART FAILURE.
The Wife of Mr.. Charles G. Payne
Dies Suddenly Saturday.

On Saturday afternoon the city was
shocked by the intelligence that Mrs.
Ida Payne, the wife of Mr.. Charles G.
Payne, late city clerk, had died sud-
denly at her home on Gross street, of
heart failure. That morning the de-
ceased had become the mother of a
child born dead. and was thought to
be progressing as we'll as could be ex-
pected. Shortly before twelve o'clock
she suddenly exclaimed to her hus-
band that her heart was on fire, and
that she believed she was dying. Not
suspecting the real danger, Mr..
Payne endeavored to rally her and
thought for while he had succeeded
when she again told him she was
certain she was dying. Upon that he
hastened to summon the physician,
but before he returned his wife had
passed away.
The grief-stricken husband was
overcome with his sorrow, made
doubly poignant by the unconscious
prattling of his two innocent children,
the elder of whom continued to repeat
to him that "Mamma did not tell a
story, papa, did she? She did die"
Mrs. Payne was about twenty-six
years of age, the daughtar of Mr.. J.
j. Bell, deceased, and a sister Of
Misses Sarah and Minnie Bell,
teachers in the City School and
Predetermined Institute. She was
lady of 'amiable disposition and fine
character, who enjoyed the esteem of
a large circle of friends. Her hus-
band and their two children, one not
yet four years and the other not two
years of age, mourn their sad be-
reavement.
The funeral ceremony took place
Monday afternoon at two O'Clock at
the Episcopal Church, of which the
deceased was a member, and one
grave became the abode of rest for
both the remains of the mother and
dead infant.
