CLovERPoRT KENTUCKY, WEDNESDAY g.
FOR COUNTY CLERK.
IL Is Believed That Burrel Beard VIII
Soon Announce Himself For
This Office.

Every one in the county knows Burrel
Beard He now lives in Greensboro but
has always held his citizenship in Brock
enridge where his record as a Republic
eau is an open book to be read of all
men. He has always support d his party
with his time and means and has never
asked his cour ty for any office so far.
The one Office hs has filed was gwen
him by state Officers. Mr.. Beard is a
stauuch temperance man, not having
tasted liquors Of any kind for more than
two !eus. 1t has been whispered about
and from the tone of communication
the News has received from HIM, we feel
free TO stat that Mr.. Beard contemplates
making the race for the Breckenridge
County Court Clerkship.. Knowing
this mans record as we do, we feel tn, t
he would do credit to the Office should
his party see ft to elect him.

The Defeat 0fLocal Option Has
Inspired Temperance Work.
ers To Greater Efforts.
PLANS ALREADY
FORMULATED.

The election held by the local option
opponents Saturday, April 2S.h, in the
drst and second precinc's Of the Clover
port magisterial district resulted in a
poll OF 2S3 votes, with a ms ,rity of 76
against local option.
This is the first defeat suffered by the
temperance people. Owing to the busy
season with the farmers who could not
all get in to vote and the great number
of negro votes in these precincts, the
result was not unexpected. Much cleo
pioneering was done on both sides for
many days before the election.
The w. q. I. u, with their staunch
honorary members, met at The Mstho-
dist church Monday night to review the
situation and make plans for further
work. II was decided that a rcmon-
streucs should be prepared to prevsil
upon the CITY council to refuse to grant
saloon license pending court proceedings
which will be instituted at once. Law
yers have been conferred with and the
legality OF this election in Two out OF the
three preciDe's in the magisterial dis
trict will be questioned.

A TRIBUTE OF LOVE
In Memory Of Rosie II. Wood, Who
Departed This Life January
9TH 1891.

This is a beautiful world with sweet
flowers and trilling notes of birds but
when the death angel visits our homes
and takes our mothers away from US,
everything seems sad and lonely.
L. has been nine years, three months
and fifteen days since our darling moth.
er departed this life and no one. except
perhaps some other lonely orphan,
knows what sad months l have spent in
those long years. / was with her but a
short time for was only eleven years
old at the time OF her death. Our only
consolation is that, as she cannot come
to us, we can 90 to her.
On my twenty.frst birthday, April
22nd 1900, was nicely entertained by
some young people but could not keep
my mind from wandering back to my
mother who used always 10 cook my
birthday dinner. 1t seems to me that il
l could only see her today l would be
the happiest person on earth.
When we leave this world Of sorrow,
When we leave this world Of care,
At home to mother will 20
And dwell forever there.

MEADE COUNTY.

of justice and whatever of ambition is
inherent in the character Of the present
Mrs. Dewey can be traced directly to her
grandmother Darnell; and il there be
sught ofweakness or of false judgment
can we not put the blame on this meek
and mild old grandfather who licked
the strength OF character his wife Dos
sesse ?
The courtship OF Alexander Mclean
and Mary Darrell lasted the summer
through. Miss Darnell was a splendid
horse woman and on her handsome dark
bay horse, with two reins and about
forty buckles on her bride as was the
fashion then, aud her lover by her side,
she was the envy OF the feminine por.
ton of her circle. Mr.. Mclean was not
so good an equestrian aS the country
boys but at walking, shooting and love-
making his equal was yet to appear on
the scene.
The marriage took place in the late
fall. Every neighbor and friend for
miles around was hidden and the bounty
and excellence of the wedding feast was
in proportion to the hopes and happi-
ness OF bride and groom. Immediately
afterwards Mr.. and Mrs. Mclean left
for Cincinnati where they established
their household gods. Two children,
John R. and Mildred, came to bless this
union and-all the world knows the rest
of the story.

report has come in that the enemy has
retired toward Ladybrand, leaving
twelve wounded officers and some sew

Col. Pitcher, which had been garrison

large force of Beers TO leave. Col.
Broadwood marched to the Bloemfon-

where he encamped at o'clock in the
morning.
At early dawn the camp was shelled
by the enemy from a near point. Col.
Broadwood sent off a convoy with the

remained to act as a rear guard. The
convoy arrived at deep spruit where
the Beers were concealed, and the en-
tire body walked into ambush and was
captured, together with six guns.
The loss of life was not great, since
most of the British had walked into

the Beers to the west, and they were

British occupied the ridge. from which
across easy country could be seen the
spires and roofs of Brandfort glisten-

that a minority of the Beers did all
the work, the majority having fed
from the positions they had previously
held for the purpose of drawing the
British fire
