FROM EATING CREAM
Five Persons are Poisoned and Two
Came Near Dying.

Last Saturday at noon seven
persons ate heartily of ice-cream
at the home of Mr.. Ross Duvall at
Salem, and in n short while there
after five of them we're very sick,
and in two hours two of them were
in a very dangerous condition.
Those who were made sick were
Mr. Ross Duvall and his brother,
Ray Miss Lucille Linley and
Messrs. Irvine CrichlCw and Ern-
est knower.
The first three were very sick,
and the Duvall brothers were very
dangerous and suffered intensive
ly for several hours, but with the
best of medical skill, they are now
out of danger. Mr.. Crichlow and
Mr.. Knower we're never dangerous
i'll. Two other persons ate of the
cream but suffered no inconven-
fence whatever. 1t is supposed
that the poison was generated in
the freezing of the cream in that
uncountable way that now and
then occurs.

In Memoriam.

Mrs, Elizabeth Francis Butler was
born Nov. %, lS4l, near Crayneville,
Crittenden county, KY, and passed into
life June l, 1900, at her home in Salem,
Ky. Her death was very unexpected to
her family and came as great shock to
her sons and daughters, who were not
apprised of any.serious illness. Through
all of her sutferings and troubles, there
was never a murmur or complaint, but
everything was undergone with that
faith and patience, as we see, was dis
played by Christ himself.
She professed faith in Christ and Join
ed the Cumberland Presbyterian church
at Piney Fork in her eighteenth year,
and was member of that church at the
tim, of her death. She was the kindest
and m )st indulgent of neighbors and OF
mothers, and the large attendance OF
nelghbors and friends to pay last tri
quite OF respect to the memory OF our de
parted is evidence Of the high esteem in
which she was held by all who knew her
Mrs. Butler was quiet transformations
christian woman, a reader of her Bible,
and with answering faith in Christ as
the son of God,
Her influence is not dead, but gone on
in the channels that she marked out
while living.
She is missed from home it is true,
and her place there is vacant, but chill
dren weep not for her now, she is In
heaven, a life beyond just begun. 1t il
for you now TO so live and act, that all
may meet hsrthere and be united home
once more.
SO let us tread softly, reverently ant
strew the flowers Of love on the grave o.
this good christian woman, who II every
one, for whom she did some loving ser
vice were TO bring Q blossom, she woult
slssp tonight under hill OF roses.

The Glorious Fourth.

Fredonia, KY, July By invi-
tation your correspondent struck
tents and took up the line of mar
ch for the residence of Capt. Frank
s. Lloyd, about one and a half mi
les north of Fredonia, where he
spent most enjoyable day with
the following friends who met in
family reunion: Mr.. VIM. Lloyd
and wife, Mrs. Lena Fowler and
Miss Ira Phillips, of Marion, Mrs
Emma Morris, of Cairo, ILL.,, Mrs,
Ann Taylor, of Kansas, Miss Vina
Harper, H. G. NARROW and wife,
and Frand Lloyd and wife.
Since the reunion of Joseph and
his brethren in the long ago, when
the aforesaid breth en- had a cor
ner on the grain market and were
dealing strong in shorts, there has
never been a more enjoyable meet
ing ga more pleasant gathering
What'a grand thing these family
reunions are. How pleasant it is
to see them all together and hear
them talk of the childhood days
when all were gathered in the old
home with father and mother, now
perchance sleeping in the silent
church yard. No thought of the
battles to be lost or the victories
won, but all living in the happy
present. In this case everyone
was cheerful and happy, enjoying
TO the fullest each others society
with no regrets for the past, glad
for the present and hopeful for the
future.
After dinner some of the gentle
men visited the sulphur spring in
the neighborhood and had fun in
great shape by "huddling together
under little shelter" as a her
"huddleth her chickens under hel
WINGS" and watching the rain pour
down in torrents. However people
can stand much OH the fourth.
By the way l want to say to any
who should be so unfortunate as
to read this, that if you should
ever get an invitation to partici
pate in dinner prepared by Mrs
Frank Lloyd, don't fail to be there

SALEM, KY. july Il, 1900.
EDITOR PREss:-
! am glad to see 50 many good things
said about this and Crittenden county
in the various papers.
In natural resources, Livingston coun-
ty is the richest county in the State OF
Kentucky. This county borders on the
Ohio river, known the world over, as the
beautiful, from the mouth Of Deer Creek
to the city of Paducah, distance of
forty three miles. The Cumberland riv-
er flows through the county for a dis
lance of twenty miles on one side, and
on the other side from Grand Rivers to
Smithland, distance Of thirty five
miles. She borders on the Tennessee
river for about thirty miles. Along the
banks of these three rivers, is the richest
bottom lands in the world. Just think
of it, there is only very few farms in
this county over four miles away from
one or the other of the said rivers, and
not single farm in the county over ten
miles away from one to the lothcf ~ said
rivers. These three great rivers have
made the beautiful city Of Paducah; each
day the year round they shower the city
with blessings, for each river flows to
Paducah, carrying on its bosom all
manner of produce and wealth. Look at
our rich valleys and fine table lands, that
produce the finest wheat in the State.
See how well our county is drained by
| Claylick creek, Sandy creek, Bayou
creek ;. Bell creek and Felps creek. No
place on earth can beat us for fine spring
water. We have lime stone springs, free
stone springs, sulphur springs and many
other mineral springs. There can be no
better place on the face of the earth to
raise stock, than this county. Grass
grows without trouble, and with but lit
tie expense to the farmer. They are
blessed with abundant good timber. We
have any kind of rock known to the hui
man family.
God has beenbountiful in his blessings
to this county, hidden from our eyes,
down in the earth, until few months
ago, are the finest, richest and best zinc,
spar and lead. Ten different companies
are now at work day and night operat-
ing these mines. All of these mines are
very near Salem.
Mr.. Num- in his article described t.
some extent the wealth of these mines,
but he neglected to show that Salem
was the central point. All of the bust
ness resulting from the mines necessar-
lily comes to Salem. This is a good place
for first class fourmill. All we need
now is railroad, and the men operating
these mines, say we will have it within
| II months. SPAR.

Burglars in Town.

Burglars were at work in Martinsburg
again on Saturday night. This time they
selected as their prey the large warehouse
of Inc. w. Bishop. During the night the
place was entered and ransacked, but the
stock being 50 large and varied, Mr..
Bishop cannot tell exactly what was
stolen.
Entrance was gained by prying open
the large double doors. The doors were
priced open by large steel key. used by
railroad men 10 fasten the brake shoe
onto the shafts on cars. This they forced
in between the doors and then priced off
the back Of the lock, forcing the door
open. A glass was broken out of the
door by the thieves in forcing it open.
The thieves were evidently bent on
cracking the safe and securing money.
The safe had recently been moved from
the warehouse to the new brick office in
the corner from which 1t was removed.
Everything was turned upside down, show
ing that the burglars were searching for
the safe. The thieves broke open num-
Der of candy, tobacco and cigar boxes,
and helped themselves. A number OF
small cracker boxes were found scattered
along the street leading past the ware
douse.
There are no clues to the robbers.
The night Waterman was tending to the
boilers in the mill while the robbery was
in progress and didn't know anything of
it until early in the morning. when he
was surprised to find the doors standing
open.
Another bold attempt to rob one of the
private residences of Martinsburg. was
made Monday, but this time the attempt
was frustrated.
About midnight as Mr. Frank Whitson
who lives on West Burke street, was
returning home from work, he noticed
a man Just in the act of climbing IN the
front window of the house occupied by
Mrs. c. ID. Buckles, corner of Burke and
College streets. When the thief saw Mr.
Whitson approaching he ran away from
the window darted around the corner and
ran down College street towards King APP
parently disappearing in one of the livery
Yards situated on the street. Mr.. Whitson
caught flying glimpse of the fleeing
thief He says he is man of medium
build and was negro, or white man with
a mask over his face.
Mr.. Whitson called across the street to
Charles Dawson, who ran after police
man. He met Chief of Police Freeze or
Queen street and they, with several Others
ran back to the scene of the attempted
robbery and made thorough, but fruit
less search for the burglar.
After pounding on the door for several
minutes they succeeded in awakening the
occupants of the house. The window
was found raised and the inside shutter
thrown open. Nothing on the inside was
diaturbed. The thief was evidently alone
and had just succeeded in raising the win
dow when he was caught.
