late commander. He reached out his
hand, took that Of Jakey, and, drawing
the boy toward him, folded him in his
arms. Thus do those who have been de.
prived Of their greatness go back for
sympathy to those from whom they have
farthest departed.
Maynard held the boy against his
breast while he gave way to convulsive
sobs such as are unusual in a man and
only come when some mental struggle
under an intense grief is relaxed and
suffering permitted to get control. Nei.

Maynard the more keenly Of those he
loved. His mind had been upon his wife
and child. Jakey's coming brought also
Souri's image and the trials and tri.

had once passed together, and trials
and triumphs borne in company weld
hearts. OF all who loved him only ia.

he rely for comfort.
At last Jakey withdrew himself from
his friends embrace. He had permitted

4 Bride Objects to Black Horses.

The color of the horses attached to
the cab for the bride and groom
caused serious trouble at a Philadel.
pliia wedding, the bride refusing to
bulge from the house until different
animals were secured TO draw the car
riage. She soon made it evident that
she was going to be the man of the
house, and her refusal TO enter upon
married life with two dark horses
drawing her and her husband led to
the change of the team. After an
hours delay the hack came back with
two white horses, and, with these as
a good omen, the determined bride
said she was happy.

Over Clay in Kentucky-PossbIe Split on the
 Currency,
 Louisville, Ky, June 15.--Precinct con ventions were held all over Kentucky to- day to nominate deleg 1tes to the county conventions Monday. which will in turn elect delegates to the state convention at Louisville June 25. The contest was eY- anywhere hot, even in the republican counties in the mountains. The fight on the currency question was closely drawn and declarations were made in many precincts From present indications the currency fight will be exceedingly warm and spirited in the state convention, and unless a peace convention is called will likely declare for free silver. Gf forts to keep the currency question out of the fight are now being made, as it s feared it will cause a split in the party and give the state to the republ cans.
 Twelve counties seem to favor a free silver plank, four favor sound money, one is divided and the majority took no position at all. Gen. H. w. Hardin seems to have the call for the nomina tion for governor over C. M. Clay, Jr., but both are confident tonigh ht.
 General Hardin has been very pro nounced for free silver, but it is now thought he will not be so aggressive, fearing damaging results from the re- publicans.
 money candidate. received the instruc- tions of only a few counties and can hardly be nominated, except in the case of a deadlock between Hardin and Clay, which the currency issue may bring about.

 Greenville, June 15.-(Special Corre- spondence. )-Careful inquiry among farm CTS around our town shows that the crops generally are in good condition. Cotton is small and backward, but the hot days are rapidly curing that trouble. Corn is first-class in every way and big crop almost a certainty. Oats have yielded fairly we'll the rain this month causing a great improvement Peaches of fine quality are being sold every day from wagons at 20 cents per peck. The yield of fruit will be large, but not enough to ship except pears so the ''porkers" will have good time destroying the surplus.
