LODIBURG.


Rev. Frank Quinn filed his regular
appointment at Walnut Grove on last
Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday Rev.
McDermont, of Louisville, preached for
Brother Quinn and he give us a fine
sermon, rather historical but very inter
esting and instructive to those who love
to learn. Brother McDermont spent
several days in the neighborhood. He
is in the mission work and we do not
think a more suitable person for the
work could be found.
On last Sunday evening, my spirsts
being below par, concluded to pay the
Walnut Grove cemetery visit to cheer
me up a little. In looking over the
monuments and tombstones found that
the first person buried there was Huldah,
wife OF Nelson Barr, died, July 20, 1854.
Just 40 years ago she slept there all
alone. But not so now, in these few
years she has 1853 others with her. In
the short time of 40 years there has been
1854 buried at Walnut Grove. In the
next 40 years how many will there be ?
God alone knows.

Death of Olive White.

LOUISVILLE, KY, August 2, 1884,
After an illness Of three weeks, of ty-
phoid fever, Olive White, son Of DIR. w.
b White, passed away at 733, West
Walnut, in this city. The remains were
laid to rest in Cave Hill August LIST, '04.
Olive was bright boy, just entering
into manhood, and was the pride of his
father, sister and brother, who are all
that is left of happy family. No more
on earth will we see our loved ones gen.
ial smile nor hear his voice. His labors
here were not finished, his work was
undone. He was cut down in the prime
of life. But we should not mourn as
those without hope. We should look
forward to the bright resurrection morn
ing when friend will again meet friend,
when father and son, brother and sister,
will all be united, and sad partings will
indeed be no more.
All was done that loving hands could
do to prolong his stay on this earth, but
he who does all things for the best, had
a higher calling for Ollie, and while
loved ones mourn here let them be COM
forted by the thought that Ollie is happy
on the other shore with loved ones, and
is awaiting their coming.
Olive was well-known in your city, his
former home, but he is now
Walking the highways of heaven,
Which friends before him have trod;
His beautiful hands now are reckoning
Us home to the city of God.
How shall we wait till we meet thee,
How must we yearn for the day;
When away from the gloom and the darkness
We, too, will be called away.
The writer knowing this noble young
man begs to thus briefly lay simple trib-
ute 70 his memory. Mrs. G. b. SHAW.

road, six miles north of Lexington. The
beautiful meandering stream Elkhorn.
completely forms an S and is spanned by
a lengthy iron bridge just below the gate
that enters "his ence" beautiful home
stead-alas the reverses that life is heir
to, claimed his fortune and others are
enjoying the wealth he expended on a
model race farm. He had been bother
ed with agents Of one kind and another
until he could endure them no longer.
He had nice sign board put up at his
gate at the public road bearing the fol-
lowing inscription artistically painted in
bold type
Nothing but good race horse want
ed. Book agents, tightening rod agent,
agents for the sale of patent medicines"
went on to enumerate quite number
too numerous to mention here, "are for
hidden to enter my premises" One day
wag in the shape of tightening rod
agent drove along, and after carefully
perusing the inscription deliberately
opened the gate and drove up to the
house and hallowed the Major out. The
pompous old gentleman slowly wendell
his way with chow dare you" express
ion on his face to where the agent was
serenely sitting on the box, and demand
ed in stentorian tones Didn't you see
that notice to agents at the gate?" To
which the daredevil laconicly replied
81 saw you wanted good race horse"
"Where is it?" inquired the Major
"On the off side" suggested the agent.
The Major stepped around to the off
side OF the team and Toasted" his eyes
twas but second till his whole frame
was in commissions. Peal after peal of
laughter rended the air. A walking
skeleton stood before him, the poorest,
leanest piece of horse-hesh he had seen
since he figured in the civil war. When
he had sufficiently recovered from his
paroxyism OF mirth, he said to the agent
"You'll do, come in and take drink
with me-"
l feel safe in saying that the agent
went away happy, for the Major kept an
assortment of the very best and was no
ways niggardly in dealing it out to those
he honored with seat at his festive
board.

Remarks Regarding Education

Editor NEws:-Last November wrote
brief letter TO your valuable paper on
the subject of education, and again ask
space for few more remarks on the
same subject
1t affords me great pleasure to think
and write of educational matters, al
though | can write but little, and am
aware that my remarks are very scatter
ing.
Within the past eight or ten months
there has been some excellent work
published in your columns Oh education
al matters.
Especially do wish to emphasize the
letter from Mr.. Gray and the one from
Tobinsport Such letters in my estima-
ton are purely inestimable to the pro-
gress of the rising generation of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky. So l
most earnestly appeal to the teachers
and others who will write on education,
to write more to the columns of good
papers and try to encourage the minds
of the people, especially the young peo-
pie on educational matters.
A great many say 81 would be pleased
TO write to papers if only knew what
to write" Imust admit that l am in
about the same condition but the ques-
ton with me is, will we ever learn to
express our thoughts in writing if we
always refuse to make an effort in that
direction?
So let every teacher, especially in this
county, try earnestly to advance educa-
tional matters by continually writing to
the leading paper OF the county, and if
the editor should grow tired of publish
ing our work, for one am in favor OF
the teachers of this county forming an
educational publishing company for the
benefit of the teachers and the good that
others might derive from same. Let
every teacher, student, farmer, legislator
and every one else in Kentucky be
awake on educational matters, and Ken
lucky in a short time will come to the
front with other leading States.
Young readers, if we ever expect to
occupy honorable positions in life, we
must educate ourselves. OF course,
allude more particularly to book edu-
cation, but will admit that all education
is not altogether obtainable through the
medium OF books. However it matters
not what occupation we expect to fol-
low, claim that we cannot follow it
pleasantly and successfully without first
obtaining good book education.
Always keeping in view the the old
adage "1f at first you don't succeed, try,
try again" and we will doubtlessly be
successful. / shall expect my ignorance
on the subject and this i'll composed
letter TO be sufficient apology for the
writing of this uninteresting letter.
