Major Clint McClarty, who died in

brothers, all Of whom are now dead He
was the son of Mr.. John McClarty, who
lived in Hardinsburg, over forty years
ago. Mr.. McClarty was a merchant
here in early days and amassed a con-
siderable fortune. This all slipped away
from him, however, before he died. He
went on visit TO Missouri and died
their but his remains were brought back
here and buried. His family were all
raised here The boys were all good
business men, Clint and Crawford, how
ever gaining more prominence than any
of the others Both of them were fine
business men and were we'll known
throughout the state.
Rev. Mcfarlain, who is conducting a
revival meeting at the Baptist church in
this city is native of Ireland. He was
converted in his native country when a
young man, and while clerking in a
store. He went Immediately to preach
ing. He came TO this country some
twenty-five years ago. Fourteen years
OF this time he spent in Texas. Later
he came to Kentucky aud located at
Pewee Valley where he has charge OF a
Baptist congregation and receives a good
yearly salary for his services. They also
furnish him a parsonage. These were
worked up through the minister's own
efforts, as he found the church at a low
ebb when he went there. The reverend
gentleman has the appearance OF being
a tireless worker in the great cause OF
saving souls. He speaks rapidly but dis
tinctly and never hesitates for something
to say. His two sermons on last Sabbath
were very favorably received here and
he will doubtless get up considerable
interest in the church before leaving.
