VIM. Cebron Monroe Travis was
born Nov. 5, 1s42, in Crittenden
county. He is a son OF James Har-
vey Travis, a venerable old citizen OF
the eastern portion of the county.
The Travises came from South Caro-.
lima in 1900 and settled in this coun-
ty, W, q. NJ. Travis was educated
in the public schools Of the county,
and has been a teacher for twenty
five years, He began reading law at
home, with Hon. ]. W. Blue as his
preceptor. In 1871 he applied for
licenses to practice aud was examin.
ed by Hon. John w. Lockett, OF
Henderson, and the late Dan Hughes
of Morganfeld. His licenses are
signed by both Judges CIssell and
Bennett, Twelve years ago he was
licensed to preach and has been in
the ministry ever since, and is at
present pastor of the G. p. church,
at Bells Mines. He enlis ted in the
Federal army August IA, 1862, and
served until November, 1863, when
he was honorably discharged and
served for some time as clerk in the
provost marshal's office. lie was q
candidate for county attorney in
1874, when Hon. L. H. James was
first elected to that office, and was
defeated by nine majority. lie made
the race against Hon. J. G, Roches-
ter and suffered defeat by a very
small majority.
While he has had no extensive
practice as lawyer, he is a man OF
good, sober judgment, good business
qualifications, industrious and atten.
tive, aud will doubtless make the
county an earnest, faithful officer.

Minner-Clark.

One of the most enjoyable events
that has taken place in the circle Of
Oak Grove society for a long while
was the marriage, on Wednesday
of last week, of Mr.. Joseph G. MINER
aud Miss Josie Clark. For a number
of days, or even months, it was sus-
pected, if not fully known, by those
who observe such things that cupid
was emitting quite a figure with the
two susceptible young people in the
way OF uniting their hearts and ".-i :,
put in, and resulted, as it usually does
where that important factor has any
tn NJ to do with paving the way to
such happiness, in u wedding, as above
stated.
The church at Sloan was suitably
prepared for the occasion, being hand
somely decorated and adorned with
beautiful evergreens and strewn with
flowers from aisle to aisle, from side
to side, and from top to bottom. By
$3.50 o'clock there was not an unoccu-
pied seat, not an ugly looking man,
woman, child or baby, or counte.
nance marred by look of sadness in
the house. All was smiles, cheerful
ness and good looks.
|, Precisely at z o'clock the young
couple entered the church, preceded
by the atlep dants, Mr.. milton b.
Order and Miss Birdia Franks, and
pausing under a beautiful arch of
evergreens and flowers, in an appro-
pirate ceremony by Rev. ]. j. Franks
were made husband and wife. Imme-
diately after the ceremony with the
attendants and a number of other
Young people-among whom was
Hogg-they repaired to the home Of
the bride, where a nice supper YVES
rendered them by Mrs. Clark.
The bridegroom is a son of ]. A..
Minner, deceased, is a farmer by pro-
fession aid has an abundance of well
wishers.
The bride is a daughter of w. M.
Clark. She is young and handsome,
and possesses qualities that endear her
to the hearts of those among whom
she mingles. While We leave her in
good hands, yet it is a stroke of bad
luck to have to lose her from our
nelghborhood.
l, Next morning the couple went TO
the home of the bridegroom in the
neighborhood Of Chapel, where they
will reside in future. May great
happiness and great luck attend them
is the wish Of Hogg.

A Noted Law Suit.

Last week Messrs. james q James,
of this place, attended circuit court at
Eddyville. They we're the leading
attorneys for the defendants in the
case of Leonard VS.. Brasswell. Some
months ago Brasswell died, leaving an
estate valued at $4,000 to $780,
900. The children of his daughter,
Mrs. T. N. Leonard, brought suit to
deprive the children of his son, Chaf.
Brasswell, Of any interest in the es-
tate, al esiug that the Brasswell chill
dren were illegitimate. 1t was aim
ed that Charles married in Memphis
in 1860 under the ASSUMED name OF
Dobbins, and without being divorced
WIS again married, the fruit of the
latter union being Tilford Brasswell
and Mrs. Matte Scott, defendants in
tlis suit. Judge Grace decided there
MAS no proof Of the Memphis marri-
age, and further that a bigamous mar
riage, such as was claimed, did not
debar children from inheritance un-
der the Kentucky law.
The case was hard fought and excl
ted much attention all over that sec
ton, Col l.. d. Husbands, of Pa
ducah, was the leading lawyer for the
Leonards, while Mr.. L. II. james, Of
Marion, was the chief cou nsel for the
Brasswells. The decision of Judge
Grace for the Brasswells was big
victory for the Marion lawyers. Oh
Mr.. James speech the Eddyville Tale
says:
The speech. made in the Leonard
Brssswell case last Tuesday by Hon.
l.. II. james, Of Marion, was pro-
nounced by many who heard it as the
ablest law speech ever delivered in
the Eddyyille court house. 1t was
folclble from beginning to ending and
replete with legal learning. He deals
sledge-hammer blows and possesses the
happy faculty Of throwing enough
oratory into his speeches to captivate
his hearers while putting in telling
ticks. We doubt if there is an ADLER
lawyer in the State than Mr.. James.
His son, o. NJ. James, was present
and assisted him. He, too, stands
high as a young lawyer. and gives
promise of some day being his fathers
equal, if he does not excel him in
his chosen profession. -Eddyville
Tale.

The Thorn In The Rose
BY O. @, W.

Twas the mourn after Christmas
when all thro' the land,
Lay foolish young men with their
head in their hand,
Who made firm bow, when they
felt sharp pain,
That from the red wine they'd in
future obstain.
With tear in their eye, and coat
on their tongue,
In the height of dispair to the
pillows they chung.
Whitley the bed underneath them
spun like top,
And the ceiling above was prepar-
ing to drop,
In their heads little imps were dane
ing clog,
Their brains thumped as If they
had broken a cog;
They felt very thirsty, imagined their
mouth
Had passed thro' season of ter
rlble drouth;
In this awful plight they believed if
they'd try
They could drink from q river
until it was dry.
Still they suffered in silence and
chung to the bed,
Knew they were alive, butwishe d
they were dead;
But after a while, when the room
spun no more,
They were able to gather their
clothes from the floor,
After laboring hard they managed to
dress,
But the hat on their head they
scarcely could press;
What they saw in the glass complet-
ed their grief,
And they there and then vowed to
turn over leaf.
But, alas! for the pledges produced
under pain!
Ere these died on their lips they
were at it again.
