students who for the time stood 10 much
in need of the refining and restraining
influences such as this tender-hearted,
cultured, christian lady was 80 willing
and capable Of excrting. In this con-

heard Mrs. Jackson say, in reply TO
the inquiry how she could 80 patiently

treatment OF the young men. who all
loved her. and when her health became

tie that was congenial. Yet she was 80
kind, 80 Appreciative, so despAragiDR Of
self, that We we're never made to feel
the pain of inferiorty in her presence.
Her desire WAS to make Others comfor-
table and happy, though in SO doing,
alas, she oft must have cast her pearls

The sweetest thought to one who was
her ssran0er-iriend in life is that to his
grave he will carry consciousness of
having tried in his feeble way to under
stand and appreciate the greatness and
the goodness OF the gentle creature that
is now no more.
Upon her sons this sad bereavement
falls most heavily. leaving them with
aching hearts over void that can
never be filed. God spared the devoted
mother to see them entrenched high in
public esteem, rs men OF character, Of
influence, and OF promise-all due to
the sacrifices and devotion, the prayers
and precepts OF their widowed mother.
To these sons this community's heart

hope is earnestly voiced that this sad
affiiction may have a sanctifying influ-
ence upon their lives, that when their
time comes to fold the drapery Of their
couches about them they may be con-
fident OF = full entrance into that home

A Greai Success Was the Ladies' Fair

1t was big undertaking for ladies to
attack the problem of fair after it had
been for two years abandoned by men
of long experience. But the ladies
were undaunted and they persevered in
task that would have staggered the
sterner sex after their many discourage
menis. The fair was projected by the
BoonesbOrOugh Chapter Daughters OF
the Revolution for the purpose OF
creating fund for the erection of q
monument to Daniel Boone and the
other pioneers who dwelt in the Fort
at Boonesboro, the first white settlement
in Kentucky. To this end their every
energy was bent for many weeks prior
to the exhibition. Besides the usual
attractions a number Of novelties were
added to the two days program. among
which were premiums for the prettiest
baby, the prettiest young lady, the
handsomest gentleman, n public mar
riage, a relic display, a bird-dog show,
trap shooting tournament, q cake
walk, n fancy turnout, a mile race, Col.
CraddOck, etc. The ring shows were
very we'll contested, particularly the
boy-riders' ring and the roadster race.
The trotting races on the half-mile track
were well-contested and the crowd was
kept interested by our fine band Of music
and when the pangs Of hunger were
felt the dining room was opened 10 the
thrOng. Altogether the exhibition was
thoroughly delightful, the extra fea-
lures rendering it very enjoyable, salts
flying everybody who attended.
A conspicuous feature Of the show
was the easy manner in which the oner-
GUS duties of the secretary we're dis
charged. This officer at every fair has
more to do than everybody else COM
bined, and il the incumbent gets out
aliye or without being sent to the asy-
lum, he is considered man OF remar-
kable ability. Miss Minerva Park
Phelps filled her position with charac-
teristic grace, never once allowing
matters to become entangled, always
mistress of the vexatious situations
that invariably attach to the office.
Mrs. G. ID. Chenault, who is a lady
of remarkable executive ability and
strong individuality, Was President,
and she needed no masculine aid or
advice i'm conducting the affairs of the
meeting. She is justly pleased with
the success OF the venture, which is
the first OF its nature in the state of
Kentucky. The other officers and d.
rectOrs performed their duties with
fidelity and efficiency, and deserve
credit alike with each other. A gen
erous public provided the premiums.
so that the expenses were comparatively
small.
We desire to express, on behalf Of
the Ladies Fair Association, earnest
thanks to every patron and friend who
in any way contributed to the success
of the exhibition.

RACES EVERY
ADMISSION
CHILDREN

THE good sense OF Madison county's
Democracy will spare her candidate for
Auditor the trouble that has befallen
several other candidates for positions on
the State ticket, by taking no sides in
any other contest until the nominees
are named at Louisville. Counties that
do otherwise start their own candidates
in the race for the nomination handi-
capped right from the start. 1t is polit-
ical suicide right at the outset. We are
proud to know that the Democracy of
this county, standing true to the best
Interests of John b. Chenault, has not
and will not eEtangle his feet with
other races and candidates, resting coil
tent to see him run his race on his own
splendid merits, untrammeled by COM
plications that have doomed aspirants
in other counties to certain defeat.
We meet in Convention here on Sat
urday. Let us make such an exhibit
ton of harmonious and enthusiastic
support of our candidate for Auditor as
shall be the admiration of all.
Come in on Saturday, and Join in the
grand boom that shall start Chenault on
his journey to the Auditors office.

two days he was unable to open his
eyes to the light. He was taken to Lex

trying ordeal, and wish for a speedy
and safe restoration oftheir sons vision.
LATER.-John Cabell has returned
his eyes being much relieved from tbeiI
inflammation, and no permanent disabil
lily is now feared.
In conversation with a physician We
were advised that lime and all Other
alkalies are easily cOunteracted by &
weak solution of apple vinegar and
water. Had Judge Chenauit known
this at the time the trouble might have
been avoided.
