r. NJ Jolly eldest son OF Thomas j..
Jolly, was born January l, Is on a
farm near Bewleyville, Breckenridge
county, KY, receiving common school
education at the age OF II, he embarked
on his own responsibility, first teaching
term OF the common school in Meade
County, then going to Hardipsburg and
writing in County Clerks Office under
his uncle, G, P, jolly, afterwards taking
clerkship in the dry goods store Of
Hensley & Beard In 1877 he was marri-
ed to Lydia A. Henseley, daughter OF
N. l.. Hensley, deceased and niece of
Hons. G. w. and B. F. Beard. In the
same year he entered into the mercan-
tile business at Bewleyville and con-
tinued in this and farming for a number
OF years. In 1889 he had the town OF
Irvington laid out and has succeeded by
energetic efforts to make it success. He
is now and has been for some time
engaged in the milling business at
Irvington, Ky. He has always been an
energetic business man and has been
engaged in most every line OF business
and never loosing an opportunity Of
bringing his county and state to the
front. He has always been identified
with the interests OF the farm and labor
and would guard their interests closely
He has always been a true Republican
(which is the meanest thing the News
can say about him) but with that he has
always been just and fair to all other
parties, granting every man his right to
think and vote as he thinks best. He
has not sought this nomination, refusing
to accept the nomination on the morn
of the convention, but his friends and
his party would not listen to him. 1t is
partly a case OF the "Office soaking the
man."
If he accepts the nomination, which he
can hardly refuse to do, the Democrats
may look for a fight in earnest, as Mr..
jolly does not do anything half way.

Speaking OF crops in Kansas he said they
were fine and that times were prosper
GUS. l have 200 acres in wheat he said,
"that will make me between six and
seven thousand bushels this year and it
is unsold. 1 own 400 acres OF as fine
river bottom land as you eyer saw and it
produces from 60 to 30 bushels Of corn TO
the acre. Have plenty Of stock and three
crops OF corn on hand lam doing fairly
well, but 1 expect some day to come
back to old Kentucky and live and die
in old Breckenridge" He says, "There
is no place like Kentu cky" and one would
have thought 30 to have seen the large
smile on his countenance brought there
no doubt by the thought, of once more
stepping on her soil.

Of the county. He was 80 years Of aee.
He was born and reared in this county
and was a direct descendent Of old Capt.
Ben Hardin on his mothers side. The
Haynes family are numerous in the
county, their ancestors settling here in
it's early history. Old Dudley Haynes,
the father Of John, came here from Vir-
ginia in 1912. He had quite alarge fam
lily. There were FIVE other SONS besides
John. Four Of them are yet living: Ed
mond, Daniel, Nelson and Hardin.
John, who has just died, left four child
rem ID. b. and Frank Haynes, Mrs. Geo.
Mccoy and Mrs. Jas. Webb. Mr.. Haynes
was quiet man, but an honest, upright
citizen. He was a member OF the Pleas
ant Grove church, where he held mem
bership OF long standing. His children
met at his old residence last Friday and
made a division OF some Of his personal
effects, among which were some pieces Of
table ware purchased over 80 years ago.
Mr.. Haynes died, leaving several hun
dred dollars in gold, which his children
have not yet been able to find any trace
of. He undoubtedly had this money
and several cash notes. They are unable
to account for il and think the old man
probably buried it.

SINCE the end OF the war, according TO
New York Sun, mole than two billion
dollars, that is to say, more than two
thousand million dollars, has been paid
out in pensions on account OF war that
ended more than thirty years ago. Tie
annual pension list, says the Sun, has
been consuming more than nine-tenths
OF all the revenue taken in at all OF the
Custom Houses OF the United States
Or taking the other sources OF the Govern
ment's income, the receipts from internal
revenue, ninty-six per cent. Of this fund
would be required to pay them. The pen
sion business is growing larger every year
and it is we'll for patriots to look into it
and study the facts. Thirty-two years
after the end OF the civil war, the
number OF pensioners on account OF that
war exceeds by about a quarter OF a
million the number of soldiers actually
engaged in service in all the armies OF
the Government at any time between
the firing upon Sumpter and the sur
render OF Lee at Appomattox. The
army OF pensioners after a third OF n
century is between thirty and forty per
cent. larger than the fighting army at
any time during the war These facts
are, as the Sun says, alarming and they
need to be studied by the sober think
ing, conservative element OF the country
A deserving soldier is fit subject for
pension and no good citizen will object
to his having one, but when it comes to
keeping up lot of fellows who never
smelt powder or shouldered a nusket
it is time to call halt along this line.

The campaign in this county seems to

deal OF talk and the candidates are shy
ing around shaking hands and making

for the candidates but it is hard on the
people. They lose sight of their bust

Of the writer that by far too much
value is placed ON the root fibers; and
distinction should be made between
the true roots and root fibers. The fiber
is practically only thread-like pro-
duction which pushes out OF the main
roots in large quantities. They live
only for one year, Just as tha leaf does,
and they can be OF very little practical
use to a tree In transplanttng. Tne
success of transplanted tree comes
from the new production OF these
fibers. The food Of q tree is taken IN
by the root hairs. which are produced
at the end of these little threads. and,
unless there is new production Of
these fibers. the tree will not grow.
What is needed in successful trans
planting is an abundance Of two or
three-year-old roots. and not annual
ibers. 1t is this which makes q trans
planted tree much more of a success
than one not transplanted. When the
large old roots are shortened. and a
number of new, true roots proceed. this
is the class of roots desirable. II there
are number of this class to the main
