IAL GENTLEMAN GONE.

ing the Oldest son of the late Hillery
M. and Mrs. Ann Bedford. He was
about GA years of age, and leaves a
widow and one daughter nearly
grown, an aged mother, three
brothers (Messrs. Thos. NJ, VIM.
H. and Hillery M. and one sister
MRS. Alex. W. Mack1in), besides
a large circle of friends and ac-
quaintances, to mourn his untimely
end.
We have known Mr.. Bedford from
our early boyhood, having attended
the same school, and always found
him an upright, honorable and
highminded gentleman.
He was a brave and gallant SOL
dier in the 2lst Kentucky Volun-
teers, Col. S. WOodson Price COM
manding, during the civil war, and
passed through the long struggle

NEW PAPER.

We are in receipt of copy of the
Carroll County Republican, a new
paper published at Carrollton, KY,
and edited by Mr.. WV. Masterson,
an able and polished writer. The
paper is well gotten up and seems
TO be prosperous. We welcome 1t
to our exchange list and wish it all
success.
Mr.. Masterson is the son of Judge
Rihcard Masterson, of Carroll
county, and was appointed consul
by President Cleveland.
Associated with Mr.. Masterson,
in charge of the publishing depart
ment, is Mr.. Ed. Delane, formerly
connected with the Carrollton Dem
ocrat. A better printer than Ed.
Delane never handled a composing
stick, and the two make good pair
to draw to.

When love is dead. draw thou the lattice close.
Shut out the world, with all its blare and din;
Rain down the petals OF the faded rose,-
Lest pity enter in.
When love is dead. weave thou checkered pail
OF broken promises and faith unkept;
For in the twilight, when the soft dews fall,
Thy heart shall know Love wept.
The bee shall drcne his holiely. humning note
Upon thine car until thy day shall pass;
The wood bird shall reproach thee from the moat.
And things that throng the grass.
A little child shall look with wondering eye
Into thine own, and greet thy smile with tears;
A butterfly with ghostly wings shall die,
And haunt thee through the years.
