//THE OLD MAIDs.-The Old Maids1
Convention at the Court. house Fri
day and Saturday nights was a
brilliant success. Full houses greet
ed each performance and seventy
two and a half dollars were cleared.
Considering the low admission price,
this is one of the most successful
affairs financially ever attempted
in an amateur way here. /The pro-
ceeds go to the Christian Church.
The lsdies deserve high praise. A
comparatively short time was given
to preparing and rehearsing. The
admirable manner in which they
Nplayed their parts shows them to
Vhave a good measure of native dra.
The play itself is an irresistibly
comical composition tand it offers
opportunities for unlimited impro-
visations, which were taken advan-

The change this week to clear,
cooler weather has enabled us to
work off quite quantity of soft
tobacco at very satisfactory prices.
The market has been decidedly bet
ter on all grades of tobacco. We
have sold some good colOry lugs
that showed from two to three and
half cents over rejected prices.
The commonest grades of tobacco
(up to eight and half cents have
not been so strong; they are better
than last week, though not as high
as they were the first week in March.
Fillery tobaccos have been active,
and all grades from tips to fine leaf
much more satisfactory to sellers
than last week. We have opened
some tobacco this week that has
shown in good dry order. and in
every case prices of these have been
at outside figures and generally
above sellers views.
The medium grades of Old tobac-
co, ranging in price from eight and
n half to eleven cents, seem to br
gaining strength each week. The
common. funked trashes, however.
were easier this week. A few hhds.
of good Old tobacco offered this
week did better than at any time
in the past three months. but they
are still from three to four cents
under the new tobacco.
The nondescript grades of Dark
tobacco no better than last week.
Anything suitable for the rehand-,
lers are very strong. No private
sales of Green Rivers reported; but
little inquiry for such. as the stock

Mrs. FENroN BAILEY's DEATH
Your corpt. received a letter from
Marcus w. Bailey announcing the
death of his wife on the Gath day
of this March at the home of her
only sister, Bette F., at New Wind :
sor, Ill. She died of stomach trouble,
as pronounced by the physicians
there. She was the daughter of
Thos. and Nancy Conyers, born in
this county on the l7th day Of
July, 1912. She was married to
I'M. W. Bailey Sept. 1lth, 1888. She
made confession of her faith at
the waters edge and was baptized
with a number of others in Licking
river by Elder b. F. Parker in the
fall of about 1890. She lived de-
voted Christian life until her
death. She was a woman that will
long be remembered by all and es-
'pecially by the many who saw and
felt her assistance in the sick room,
as she devoted the greater part of
her useful life with the sick and
afflicted. She began caring for the
afflicted when but eight years old ;
her mother became an invalid de-
pendant on her care at that age.
While yet SO young in years che
excslled all others IN watchful care
over her mother. This she did for
IS successive years when the death
angel called her mother home. Two
years later she returned tn Ken
lucky from Illinois, where they had
lived for % years. After returning
here she married in a few years,
but still continued to visit the sick
and administer unto them. For
six years the greater part of her
time here was spent waiting on the
sick; then with her husband she
went to Woodruff. Illinois, where
they were both employed to take
care of a Mr.. Clark and wife, who
were in delicate health, and to see
after their business, where they
had been for six years discharging
their duty, until a few weeks ago
when she began to decline in health
and che went to her sisters where
she died. While it's hard to give
up such as she, yet it's pleasure
to think of what we imagine will
be said to her on the resurrection
morn: swell done. thou good and
faithful servant. Thou hast been
faithful over a few things, l viii
make thee ruler over many. Entel
thou into the joys OF thy Lord"
Farewell, dear sister and companion
Since we shall meet no more
Till we shall rise with thee to dwell
On Heavens blissful shore.
Our friend and sister, 10, is dead;
| Her cold and lifeless clay
Has made in dust its silent bed
And there it must decay.
But is she dead2 No, no, she lives;
Her happy spirit flies
To Heaven above and there receives
Her long expected prize.
