BRIGHT Sprinu DAYS.

The spring should be pre-eminently
season OF contentment, happiness
and hope. In these bright and pleas
ant months the country should enjoy
its highest degree of tranquility and
prosperity. But spring, it is well
known, is often period of discomfort
and disturbance to the physical system.
important organs of the body become
torpid and irregular in their action,
and the fact is instantly reflected In
the mental condition of the individual.
A disordered liver means disordered
nerves and dull and unsteady brain.
Anything which will bring the phys
ical system into harmony with bud
ding Nature confers an enormous
benefit upon the nation, besides the
mere allayiug of physical discomfort.
Hoods Sarsaparilla does this, as thou
sands of grateful and happy men and
women can testify, and increased use
of this standard spring medicine is of
more real practical Importance in pro-
noting health and quiet in the bust
ness world than reams of abstract
theorizing.

Wednesday. Mr.. Prewitt had been
at his Office in the morning and return
ed with his wife and child about IL
o'clock and took dose of choral, with
out the aid of which, he had been una
BILE for some time, to procure rest, and
lay down on the lounge for nap.
When dinner was called at l 80 and
he did not appear his wife went to
wake him and found him beyond aid.
He died in very short time in spite
of the medical attention given him.
John L. Prewitt was born and raised
in this county where for number of,
years, after coming to mans estate
he was prominent business man. He
has wide circle of relatives in this
and adjoining, countiesthe Prewitts be-
ing numerous and wealthy family,
and was himselfa man who enjoyed in
the highest degree the esteem and conf
dence of those who knew him in either
a business or social way. Some five
years since he sold out part efhis prop
erty here and moved to Louisville
where he has Eeen extensively engaged
in the real estate and tobacco interests.
Mr.. Prewitt was about 80 years of
age and was twice married. His first
wife was Miss Mona Wilson, who left
to his care little daughter. Some
eight years since he married Miss
Elizabeth Reid, of Owingsville, who is
the daughter of the late Judge N. p.
Reid. The remains were brought to
this place Friday afternoon and in
tered in Machpelah cemetery. From
the Courier-Journal we take the fol-
lowing:
"The funeral services over the late
John T. Prewitt were held at his resi-
dence, ia East Broadway, at 3 O'Clock
yesterday. The Rev. E. L. Powell, of
the First Christian church, read APP
propriate Scripture selections and Of
fered prayer. A quartet rendered the
familiar hymns, "Rock of Ages Cleft
For Me-" and "Jesus, Lover of My
Soul" The body will be taken to Mt.
Sterling for interment, accompanied
by number of friends of the deceas-
ed. Of Mr.. Prewitt it was observed
at the funeral: 'Itcould be said truth
fully, he wronged no man; he defraud-'
ad no man; he corrupted no man. In
his business relations he was not only
just but generous; in social life he was
a man to be loved--gentle, courteous
and kindly; in his home he was an
atfectionate husband and and an indul-
gent father. His friends were legion
his enemies, ifhe had any, were few.
He was man whose outward life was
not perfect, but his heart was sound.
He was loyal to his friends, ready al
ways to help the needy and generous
hearted in all the relations of life.
'Mr. Prewitt had been a resident OF
this city about four years. He was
member of the real-estate firm of j. T.
Prewitt & Co. A wife and one child
survive him. He was thirty-five years
of age"

The protracted service at the South
ern Presbyterian Church closed last
Wednesday night. Much interest was
manifested and there were ten addi-
tons, four coming out on the last night.
Rev. w. E. Kellar, who conducted the
meeting, preached with great power to
large congregations. He is well
known and greatly admired by all the
people in this community, and it is
hoped that he will return and take
charge of the PRESBYTERIAN church at
this place. He was pastor here about
ten years ago. We understand that
the church will give him unanimous
call, and the christian people of this
city all hope he will accept.
