Joseph Clay Stiles Blackburn, candidate
of the Kentucky democracy for the presi-
dency of the United States, is Kentuckian
by birth. After common school education
he studied law. He spent two years in Chi
cago and returned to the South in 1860. He
was an elector on the Breckenridge and Lane
ticket, and served the South throughout the
war.
At the close Of the war he wet to Arkansas
and planted cotton. Returning to Kentucky
he was elected to the legislature, then to
Congress, and later he became United
States senator. Thus II will be seeh that his
name is closely allied with the history of his
native state. II. skSsE y.&ss4, "a

The Time and Distance IL Takes to Ar

The motion Of steamship on the At
!antio, when the sea is calm, Is so smooth
and steady that the passenger hardly re.
aliZes the tremendous momentum Of the
vessel under his feet. After the engines
have been slowed down there Is startling
revelation of the energy of motion. This
energy can also be accurately calculated
with the aid OF mathematical formulas,
and the time and distance within which
the motion can be totally arrested and the
ship be brought to a stand may be ascer-
tanned In similar manner This calcu.
lation has recently been made for several
we'll known ships.
To stop the Etruria, whose "displace-
ment" Is $3.50 tons, horsepower 1881
and speed 20. IL knots an hour, minutes
and AZ seconds are required, and during

BIGBYVILLE.

BIGBYvILLE, Aug. 1--we have for
quite a while been an ardent admirer of
your most excellent paper, hut have
never before, essayed to pose as one of
its correspondents. Hence it is with
some reluctance that we enter upon
this new line of work.
On last Saturday night, shortly past
ten o'clock, Mr.. John w. Farris' house
was discovered on fire, and before
assistance could be summoned the
flames held complete sway. Only a
small amount of the household furni-
ture was saved. None of the family
were at home and it is presumed that
the fire originated from a defective
kitchen tlue. The friends of Mr.. and
Mrs Farris greatly deplole their loss,
but are pleased to learn that the house
was partially insured.
Rev. and Mrs. ]. f. Tinnon, of Giles

Too Clever For Them.

A certain captain included among his
cargo n couple OF gallon jars Of fine brandy.
Incidentally he also included remarkably
smart and intelligent cabin boy. The
worthy skipper had deep rooted aversion
to the inoonvenient curiosity of the reve.
nue. officers In short, he desired to land
his brandy without their aid.
Upon berthing his vessel alongside the
quay plank was pushed on to the jetty,
and as soon as the officer came within a
few yards the cabin boy carrying the jars,
stepped ashore and was Immediately &C.
costed by the customs officer.

When your stomach begins to trouble
you, it needs kelp. The help it needs is
to digest your food, and until it gets it,
you won't have any peace. Stomach
trouble is very distressing, very obsti-
nate. very dangerous. Many of the
most dangerous diseases begin with
simple indigestion. The reason is that
indigestion (not-digestion, not-nourish-
ment) weakens the system and allows
disease germs to attack it, The anti
dOte is Shaker Digestive Cordial,
strengthening, nourishing, curative. 1t
cures indigestion and renews health
and strength. 1t does this by strength
ening the stomach, by helping it to di-
gest your food. 1t nourishes you. Sha-
ker Digestive Cordial is made of pure
herbs, plants and wine, is perfectly
harmless and will certainly cure all
genuine stomach trouble. Sold by drug
gists, price 10 cents to $l.0O bottle.
