A Sad Death.

The death of young James Johnson,
at Chickamauga, was sad one, IT,
deed. He joined the troops at Lexing-
ton, and it is believed that he was the
first to enlist from Garrard county
He was just twenty-three years old,
and enjoyed good health nearly all his
life. At the Chickamauga camp he
contracted typhoid fever and notwith-
standing the fact that competent
physici ms did all in their power to
Check the dreaded disease, he grew
rapidly worse and died Friday night
Johnston was a son of the late Joseph
Johnston, and half-brother of John
ME Johnston who cierked in Robin
sons hardware store for many years.
! hat he was universally liked and
popular is shown by the fact that ev-
cry business house in town was closed
and the citizens turned out en- masse
to attend the funeral. The remains
were brought here and placed in the
vault Friday night AMI the funeral
took place Saturday morning. Elder
jesse Walden and Rev. Henry Faul-
coner conducted the ceremonies, the
Lancaster band played several relig-
ious hymns and the cas,set, wrapped
in the national colors, was lowered
into its final resting place in the Lam
caster Cemetery. Lieut., Kennedy, o.
the Lexington company, Major viii
Collier, of the Fourth regiment and
Adjutant Johnston, of Chickamauga,
were present and acted as pail bear

Our COrreSpOndents.

One of the great factors in the sue

per is its country correspondence. In
this respect The Democrat staLds sec
on l to very few of it's contemporaries.
We appreciate the good work o; these
who, in various places, have contr. bu-
ted items that have made the paper a
welcome visitor in so many homes
both in Kentucky and among Ken
tuckians in other States, and hope that
good work and let US hear from their
respective localities at frequent inter-
walls.
We have this week sent out station
cry, stamps, etc, to most of these cor
respondents and shall at all times be
glad to supply such things as are need.
full.
And now just few words as to what
constitutes proper items. We want
all births, deaths, marriages, sales, Sc
rious illnesses, visitors from a dist
ance, religious or school items, etc.
Don't write of the visits of neigh
bors, for in this sociable country it is
too big a job for us to undertake.
Don't write long obituary concern
ing dead neighbor. Obituaries are
charged for as advertising matter and
it is hardly fair to try to burden the
news column.
Don't say that your neighbor, the
storekeeper, is selling out at cost or
lower than his competitors. This is
advertising matter and he should pay
for his advertisement
Don't make your items too much of a
family matter. We are interested in
you and your relatives, but we are also
interested in other people and want to
hear something about them.
Don't feel offended if some things
you write are not printed. Sometimes
it is necessary to leave out much of the
matter that has been prepared and it
is better to leave out comparatively
unimportant items from each of sever
al places than to leave out some of our
correspondence altogether. Again the
same item is frequently sent in by sew
eral correspondents and if it is left
out of your list, it is probably because
it has already been sent in by some
one else and is already in type.
Again, we beg of you to accept oul
thanks and expressions of distinguish.
ed consideration and we hope you may
'Iive long and prosper. "-Harrodsburg
De mocrat.

states that his wounds were only slight
and ne has been with his company ev-
err since the battle at San Juan. His
company, "E', was on the right of
the regiment and it seemed as if the
entire Spanish fire was directed at
them. The regiment. the 10th, was
leading the charge and Gen. Hawkins
was in front of E company on foot.
Being close enough to distinguish Off
GERS from men, it is supposed the most
of the Spanish bullets were aimed at
Gen. Hawkins at t is point. c.. f

were twenty-eight OF them killed or
