COOK AND 5ReATHlTT
The Christian County Man Turned Down
at Every Point.

NJ Every fOihhs
Judge Cook and Judge Breathitt
met IN joint debate here Monday and
there is but one opinion among Dem
ocrats and other fair minded men who
heard them. The Democratic candi-
date surprised even his friends. He
more than sustained himself on the
stump. He met every point made by
Judge Breathitt and used him up
badly all along the line. Judge
Breathitt opened the debate and be-
gan his speech by referring to recent
publications in the KKNTUCKIAN. He
admitted that he and his near rela-
tives had drawn something more
than 100000 in salaries, but said
they had never misappropTiated a
cent Of public money. The Judge
seemed to think this was an especially
strong point in view Uf the records
made by other Republicans. He dis
claimed responsibility for the rapid
growth of shyster litigation in his
courts. He justified the action Of his
father in appointing men who voted
for Mckinley as Democratic officers
He then turned his attention to polit
ical matters and made a rank Repub-
lican stump speech, drawing party
lines as tight as a bow string and
lauding to the skies the whole Repub-
lican platform, high tariff, gold stan
dard and all. His friends were abso-
lutely amazed. He was no longer
the mild-mannered, non partisan can
didate for non-political Office. He
became campaign stump speaker,
calling upon. Republicans to stand by
the party principles. 1t was evident
that his speech marked a radical
change Of tactics 1t is believed that
Judge Breathitt sees now what every
well-informed man in the district
knows, that his own race is absolutely
a forlorn hope and that he inundated
himself upon the altar of his party
and sacrificed himself to save the
local ticket.
Judge Cook followed in a speech
Of an hour and half, touching upon
every point made, Kidding his oppo-
nents arguments and showing him
self TO be thoroughly posted upon
current issues in general. He cor
nered Judge Breathitt on the ques-
ton of election officers with propo.
sition to guarantee the fairness of the
list in Galloway county and let him
change the officers wherever he found
that the spirit and letter Of the law
had not been complied with, and
turning upon him he asked if he,
would say as much for the list APP
pointed by his owD father in his
home county. No answer came.
Judge Breathitt was as dumb as an
oyster and Democrats shook the
house with applause.
This was only one of the many tell
ing points made by Judge Cook, and
his speech created the greatest en-
thusiasm among Democrats. BE,
proved himself so much superior to
Judge Breathitt in debate that the
latter will have to again change his
speech if he hopes to hold his own in
the rest of their joint debates. 1t
must not be supposed from this that
there is anything unpleasant between
the gentlemen. They are making
their canvass upon heightened plane
and are personally upon pleasant
terms. 1t is contest between two
men of ability, representing two
great parties of opposite principles
and it bids fair to be a clean, digni-
fed race throughout.

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
Sorofulous Humors - How a Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. 1t
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. MY
wife'5 mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparillao We decided to give
IL to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his ase very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned"

You can buy Hoods Sarsaparilla of all

The death of Thomas Coriss removes a
man whose entire life OF nearly ST years
was spent in this town. His father was
also named Thomas, and his grandfather,
Samuel, is understood to have been a
Revolutionary soldier, one of the first set
tiers of Rockingham in this state, but
who died in Marshfield. He had two
sons John and Thomas who settled in
Newbury, and had daughter also, who
married a Mr. Jewell, and had sons Da-
vid and Solomon.
These brothers, John and Thomas,
served in the war of 1912. Thomas, mar
ried Louisa, daughter of DR. Frederick
Aubrey, an early physician of Bradford,
and had ten children, of whom the late
deceased was the oldest, who was born
Nov. 20, 1911, in a log house which stood
where Isaac Clark's house now does in
the "Brock district" He became a car
penter, and was employed on a great
towns, notably the Union Meeting House
in 1888. About 1917, he built house of
his own, which was his home for the rest
of his life, and in which he was married
Dec. s, 1S49, by Rev. e. w. Campbell, to
Miss Martha d. Lindsey. He built saw
mill near his house, in which he did quite
large business for several years, and re-
tanned his industrious habits till the end.

man. He had no advantage of education,
but was great reader, and had quite a
talent for public speaking, his small nerv-
GUS figure and long beard being in fire.
quent evidence at town meetings and
other public gatherings. His life was
passed within narrow bounds, he was
never thirty miles from home, and only
once rode in a railroad train a distance of
three miles. In politics he was success
sively a Wing, Free Soiler and Republic
can. He rarely used tea or coffee, and
was most uncomprOmising enemy to ar
dent spirits in any form, and used tobac-
co in no shape While yet quite active

and sank until the Goth, when he passed
away, having no desire to live longer.
His funeral sermon was preached by Rev.
Mr. McDOugal, at the Town House, where
he was buried on Sunday afternoon. He
is survived by his wife, and a daughter,
Mrs. w. Patterson, who has has three
children; and by two sons, Freeman L. of

old bible has not gone by, and people
who walk by its precepts will not want
to desecrate the day in which "He
calls the hours His own" Rev. Peter
Powers was buried at North West
Harbor, Deer Isle, instead of North
Deer Isle; and if | am not mistaken,
his wife was buried at Newbury, as
she came here on visit and died here.

NEWBURY.

AT a teachers meeting held at the
Seminary building, Saturday, the fore
noon session was occupied in the study
of Vermont. A table of the counties
was prepared and placed on the black
board. In that table the grand list and
acres were taken from the grand list of
1894. This table was made up from the
1896 appraisal and brings us as near to
date as possible, as the next cOmpila-
ton will not occur until 1898. The
rank of population is shown for 1890
1910, showing the changes in fifty years;
in 1910 Orange county was third in
population, in 1890 we find it eleventh.
The increase in population from 1880 to
1890 in the whole state was only 1856, or
less than one-half of one per cent; the
exact figures being 1890, 1872, 422; 1880,
332, 286. The decrease of population in
Orange county between 1880 and 1890
was 1850 or 1919 per cent. If this de-
crease continues we shall ere long drop
to one senator with Lamoille, Essex
and Grand Isle. The acreage is made
up from the compilation of listers in
their grand lists and varies from year
to year so that to determine the size of
counties by this method is not absolute.

intendence of Mr.. J. Ii. Mills just TWEEN
ty-fve years ago.
Thanksgiving Day was approaching
the treasury was empty, the pantry was
bare and forty thinly-clad children had
arrived-Other applications daily COM
ing in.
Mr.. Mills wrote letters to the leading
newspapers giving the condition of af-
fairs, and through them asked the good
PEOPLE Of the State to send contributions.
The following week they poured in:
Tin Horns, Wheelless Wagons, Stale
Candy, Rancid Nuts, Wormy Cakes and
Crackers, Headless and Legless Dolls.
Horses and Sheep, Hornless Cows and
Billie Goats, and such like Supplies. Mr..
Mills again used the newspapers in
thanking the Donors for their COntribu-
tons. They had been received in the
same spirit in which they had been
sent (umbounded charity. He, however,
hoped thereafter everyone would re-
member that even a Paper Collar
would keep an Orphan warmer than a
Tin Horn"
