The will of the late George Kendall OF
Fairfield, who recently died at the age
of 100 years and 10 months, gives his
property to his son. 1t is singular fact
that this son disappeared some As years
ago and nothing authentic has ever been
learned of him siUce. 1t was about the
time the new railroad now called the
"back route" was built. and he started
out to visit farm owned by his father
observing that he might take a ride on
the cars. Nothing was heard of hin
afterwards other than a Maine man, who
was in the vest after his disappearance
reported that he saw the missing mans
name on a hotel register in a western
town, and started to hunt him up but be
had gone elsewhere. The old gentle
man always believed his son was alive
and for years made diligent search for
him, making the will in his favor some
Is years ago, the son having then been
absent 80 years. The property will GO
to grand nieces and grand nephews.

WOES OF THE AGENT.
His Experience With Leaders Social
Flashes
Social

are the obstacles that confront an agent
OF Negro newspaper On receiving
his papers the agent starts out on his
mission Of distribution. AS Is expected
he first hunts Negro leaders with the
confirmed idea of delivering a few
copies to them, and If there be any left,
the supposition is that they will be got
ten rid Of with difficulty among the
OF binary people. But from my heart,
sorry am | to say the conditions are
just to the reverse of the above sen
tences.
The first race leader you meet you
begin to speak to him of the qualifica-
tions Of your paper, editor, contributors
etc., and Of the sterling contents in the
present issue, and close with the
words, "would you like to have
copy?" Then begins the TRADE, thus:
II know your paper 30 be q good one
etc. l used to take it several years ago
but it did not come regularly and on
time, and when my subscription ran
out, the editor failed to notify me, but
continued to send the paper, and
because L did not send money at once
abused me in letter, There is no bus
mess in colored people, etc. The agent
Breaks in by saying the paper is On
solid foundation and its surety Of COM
ing is as clock work. and the publishers
and owners are men of responsibility
and long business integrity. Then be
gins again the leader by saying, 81
have no mo ooey." The agent offers to
give him the paper and collect fee the
next week, o. advance him years, six
months or three months subscription.
Leader says, mo, don't care to do bus
mess that way. / have net read the
papers [ already have" And finally
winds up with the words, 81 have an
article to sell you for your paper on the
race problem" Thus you see, the way
of an agent Of a Negro newspaper is
hard, and his path is not beset with
roses.
How any persou, black or white, can
lead represent, and control a people
without being regular subscriber to
genuine race paper, is a mystery to
angels, and problem to humanity;
and the fact that the Anglo Saxon fails
to know our progress and needs Is that
he consults Negro leaders who never
read Negro journal and know moth
ing of us one way nor the other out
side of their own district
The drama entitled "Thirty Years of
Freedom" was played here for charl,
table purposes, by the elite of the race,
and it's rendition brought down a storm
of applause and commendation from
those who attended. The orchestral
arrangement was under the manage
ment OF. the efficient leader Prof.
Thomas Howard.
The Brown. Whitaker concert at Mt
Vernon A. NJ. e. church was success.
Rev, H. e. Stewart, B. D., the ener-
getic pastor OF the above named church,

Rev. Horace Talbot, M. a, secretary

in the absence of the pastor.

EsTIIL SPRINGS, May, 1900.
EDITORS NEWS:
eff thou wouldst view fair Melrose
Alright,
Go visit it by the pale moonlight"
said Walter Scott land by the way, they
say he never saw it by moonlight until
after he had written about it) and 1 can
say VITA equal truth: If you see Estill
Springs, the gem of the mountains, at
its best, visit it in "the glorious month
of Nav, when all the birds are singing"
Excuse my dropping into poetry, but
one cannot help it at the Springs at this
season. The grass is so wonderfully
green, the air is so fresh and the atmOs-
phere Is so clear, that you feel like a
young colt in big Blue Grass pasture.
OF course there are not any regular
guests here yet, as the Springs do not
formally open until June LIST, but Mr..
w. R. Thomas and family stay here the
year round, aud are glad to welcome
at any time anyone who wishes to come.
Mr.. w. o. Davis, the County Attorney
of WOodford county, and very bright
and agreeable man, was here recently
for few days, and understand that he
was delighted, and wants to bring his
family over this month.
tell you when a fellow gets up these
fine mornings and takes a hot sulphur
bath in one of those big porcelain-hned
tubs, and then goes and gets a drink of
the water, he begins to fear that there
are not provisions enough in Estill
county 60 satisfy his appetite for break
fast, but when he reaches the dining
room, he finds that the cook has seen
him and gone him one better.
viii Thomas is a judge of good eat
ing from way back, and 1 have stopped
at q a day hotels in my time, where
they did not begin to feed You as they do
here. In fact this place has been i'm
proving so mnch lately, that yOu re-
quire a new introduction 10 it every
time you come. Capt Thomas seems to
.hzve made up his mind to give it a big
reputation if it takes a mint Of money.
1t has always been a good Summer re-
sort under his ownership, but from the
way it is forging TO the front lately, l
should say he has gotten his second
wind.
l would advise all who can to come
here early in the season, while the air is
SO pure, and you can take such grand
long walks. In July and August, you
like to keep under the cool shade of the
great forest trees, and the idea of ex-
ertiOn is not fascinating, but in May and
June you enjoy rambling about ire
mendously.
1 am anticipating much pleasure in
coming over here this Summer. / be-
ieve a man can keep his family here
during the hot months nearly as cheap
as he can at home, drumming over to see
them whenever pOssible), and then
think of the gains to them in health and
pleasure.

Republicans Give Up.

From Frankfort comes the new that
the Republicans contestees for the
minor State Offices have decided TO give
up the fight for the present, and moved
in the Court of Appeals Wednesday, that
their cases be dismissed without preju-
lice. The trick behind the motion was
apparent. The Republicans will make
strenuous efforts to elect Judge Hazel
riggs successor, in which case. they
would have a majority on the appellate
bench. Should the appeals be dismiss
ed without prejudice they could then be
reinstated. The Democratic law ers
are resisting the motion, and viii press
for final decision from the court.

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
Snap Shots at w. j. Bryan.
by James Creelman. ]


Mr.. Bryan is temperance incarnate.
he loves literature, rather than art; the
trout stream, rather than the theatre /;
the farm, rather than the city; the
small church, rather than the cathedral.
he loves men more than books, and
looks more than money.
Ihave heard him talk Of his enemies
without a word Of bitterness. have
heard him defend Mr.. Mckinley from
unjust attacks. He loathes and avoids
personalities or abuse in conversation.
This IN one Of the nOblest and most at
tractiye traits in his personal life. He
Is decent and tolerant in his speech;
fair. Just, even-tempered.
1t is true that Mr.. Bryan is provincial,
but only in the sense that Abraham Lin
coin was provincial. He is careless of
his clothes, but careful Of his morals.
he cannot speak French or lead a cotil-
hon, but he can give you in the purest
and sweetest English the story of the
and is familiar with the solid literature
Of the world.
There is something about Mr.. Bryan
that makes all who associate with him
more earnest, more ready to make sacri-
foes, more Indifferent TO mere abuse
and more intensely and peculiarly
American. There are no secrets in his
life. To be with him is like walking
on the seashOre IN the sunlight. At
forty, he has still the unsullied ideas,
the unbroken faith of boy. And any
man may be his comrade, nay, his very
brother.
he has the Outwardness Of man who
is big of mind, as well as of body. There
Is the ruggedneSs of truth in all his
ways. He lives simply and sometimes
frugslly, not because he cares for money
on because he does not know that there
are other and more extravagant ways
Of living, but because his tastes are
simple. The very simplicity of his life
and speech is. corolary of his native
dignity. His quaint points are the
quaintnesses Of his country.
There was a time when Mr.. Bryan felt
that some day the crimes of lawless
wealth and rspacious corporate power
against the toilers of the country would
bring on physical struggle, and in
those days Mr.. Bryan was a gladiator,
with the fierce, unforgiving spirit of a
gladiator. But q new tenderness of
spirit has come into his life. He seems
TO be filed with the idea that love is
the only uplifting force in the world,
. and that love is as necessary and as
natural in politics and statesmanship as
IN private Affairs.
i have met almost every great man of
my own time in the principal countries
Of the world, but / have never met a
greater man than Mr.. Bryan. As a rule,
one finds the idealist man of frail
body, physically incapable of making a
continuous struggle. But there is an
incorruptible idealist with the physical
strength Of an or. Nowhere in the
world is to be found a more perfect COM
binatiOn Of mind, spirit and body. The
three are evenly balanced in the Demo-
cratic leader-mental energy controlled
by intelligence; imagination inspired
by philanthrOphy, virility disciplined by
virtue.
