A TRIP WORTH TAKING.
A Chance to 'GO Somewhere and See
SOmthing'' Mt Very Little Cost.

The most famous, comfortable and
attractive resort one can visit is Old
Point Comfort, Va. At first thought
we are inclined to think the trip too
expensive and distance too far, but a
little investigation shows this is not
the case. The G. & o. Railroad will
on the Second and Fourth Tuesdays i'm
August and September sell rOund-trip
tickets to Old Point at the extremely
low rate of $500, going on both regular
trains of those dates, these tickets
good returning for u days from date
of sale. StOp-OverS will be allowed at
all stations east of Kanawha Falls on
return trip. The berth rate on Sleep
er through to Old Point is $3.50 per
berth, which will accommodate two
persons. Trains leave Lexington $50
p. M, enabling you to view the famous
scenery by daylight. No
other Summer trip offers such d.
versity of scenes, pleasures and enjoy
ments as trip to Old Point. Close by
and at cost of a few cents you can
visit Ocean View, Virginia Beach,
the finest bathing beach on the coast,
NOfOlk and the Navy yard at Ports
mouth which at this time is especially
interesting on account of the captur-
ed war trophies on exhibition there.
Washington ID. c. can be visited by a
nights ride up Chesapeake Bay and
Potomac River which makes one of
the most beautiful water trips you can
take.
If you want to visit New York, the
Old Dominion Steamship Line makes
a low round trip rate from Old Point
which includes meals and berth on
Steamer. A p hour ride up the At
lantic Coast on one of the handsome
Steamers of this line is a pleasure
never to be forgotten. If you desire
sleeping car space on any of these
excursions, please advise as early as
possible. This will enable one to make
a very cheap trip to New York and
should be especially attractive to
Merchants who want to 60 there to
buy goods. Write for any other infOr-
nation you desire and it will be cheer
fully given. Geo. w. Barney, Div.

On Monday morning, at O'Clock,
Mrs. America B. Walker departed
this life at the residence of her SON.
in-law, Mr.. Jesse DOty, near HATS
vile. Mrs. Walker had been i'm poor
health for some time. She was in her
eightieth year. She was born i'm Gar
rard county and all her life was spent
hare. Early i'm life she united with
the Presbyterian church and was al
ways a constant attendant at the wOr-
ship, and faithful worker for the
the church's interests. Her husband:
David Walker, died about thirtyyear
ago. Mrs. Walker was one of the most
widely-knOwn and beloved women in
the county. She was always ready to
do what she could for her friends and
acquaintance, and belonged to that
old type of true Kentuckians who
were never SO happy as when relieving
distress and bringing sunshine to the
homes of those in trouble. She was a
loving and affectiOnate mother, hon
est i'm heart, diligent and faithful in
the performance Of all her duties to
God and humanity. She leaves five
children; Joel J. Walker, Ofthis cOun-
ty, David Walker, of South Carolina,
Dan Walker, of Madison, Mrs. Harri-
ct White, of Knoxville, and Mrs. JeS-
Sc DOty, of this county.
An immense cOncOurse Of people as
sembled at the Presbyterian church
Tuesday morning to pay the last trib-
ute of respect to this noble woman.
Rev. Henry FaulcOner conducted the
services, selecting the very apprOpri-
ate text. Rev. 3-4: Sand they shall
be with me in white" At conclusion
of the services, the remains were laid
to rest in the Lancaster Cemetery.

Shooting ut Paint Lick.

Gill Prather, young married man,
about twenty-five years old, shot and
probably fatally wounded another
young man named Robert Burton at
Paint Lick, this county, Friday after
noon. We are unable to give full par
ticulars, but it seems the two men had
had trouble and, meeting on the rail-
road track, Prather pulled pistol and
opened fire on Burton, whom it is said
was unarmed. A shot hit Burton, en-
tering his bowels, and it is yet be-
lieved he will die. Sheriff Ward was
summoned and brought Prather to
the Lancaster Jail where he will re-
main until an examining trial can be
had,
