Obituary.

On Wednesday evening Dec. 10,
at the home of her parents at Bu-
chansn KY, Miss Cora Turman
quietly passed from this life to join
her sister and friends in the home
beyond.
Cora was a bright and beautiful
young girl of sixteen summers and
was loved by all who knew her.
All that tender home love could
devise or suggest was laid as a low.
ing t'ibute at her feet, that her de-
parture might be delayed to the
latest possible moment.
There certainly remains to the
afflicted family the sweet conscious
ness Of having done all they could
in her behalf and her death fills
every heart in Sunday School with
sorrow.
Shs is gone but not forgotten.
In that land so bright and fair,
All her trends and loving kindred,
Soon will meet their Cora there.
Only just beyond the river,
Only just step across,
For the loving tender parents,
She will watch and pray and wait,
For her brothers and relations
She will meet them h, the gate,
Hand in hand they'll walk togeth.

The fact that Hon. T. II. Paynter
will not resign his seat in Congress
until January 9TH, two days before
entering upon the duties of Judge
Of the Court of Appeals, has brought
forth some unfayorable comment
from some of the newspapers who
are not acquainted with the situa-
tion, or who simply want an excuse
for making unkind remarks. The
fact is that Mr.. Paynter was Pc
titioned from many sources to not
resign before the November cleo
ton and, the same constituents de-
sired just the course he pursued.
1t would cost $1,000 to hold a
special election, to say nothing Of
the labor and the canvass. Then
it would require thirty days for the
man who was elected to secure his
certificate and get to Washington
ready for work. Add to this the
time necessarily taken in calling
and holding the election and how
much Of the short session is there
left for the district to get its money
back through the service Of an in.
experienced, $4,000 Congressman!
Mr.. Paynter is certainly not holding
on for the paltry sum of the salary
OF a month Of two, as some have in
situated.
He has paid no attention to these
criticisms, so far as we know, but
knowing that he has acted in &C.
cordance with the wishes Of a very
large constituency, we make this
statement In justice to him.
