DEATH OF MR.. B. K. PARTlN. :
Was the Largest Landowner in the County
Funeral of Mr.. Page

The announcement that Mr.. b. *.
Partin died at his home in Middle
Creek township yesterday evening at 8
o'clock will carry sorrow to the hearts
of his many friends in this county.
Mr.. Partin became suddenly i'll week
ago last Monday, and was almost en-
tirely unconscious throughout his sick
ness. His disease baffied the best med
ical skill and nothing could be done to
stay the great destroyer, death. He
was a man of sterling worth, excellent
judgment and fine mental qualities,
and his death will be a great loss to
this county. He was the son OF the
late Rev. Aldridge Partin, prominent
Primitive Baptist divine, and followed
strictly in the faith of his father.
Mr.. Partin was Sd years Of age, and
for twenty years or more has taken
prominent and leading part in the at
fairs of this county. He never desired
office, but for several years served as
county commissioner, and during the
last two years was member of the
Election Board of this county.
He married the eldest daughter OF
DR.. Blanchard and his wife and three
children survive him. Mr.. Partin was
one of the largest land owners in this
county and was very successful in
every undertaking We deeply regret
to chronicle the death of this good man.
but we are mindful, it is the way of all
flesh, and his pure Christian life will
remain as a worthy example to others.

and few quarreis took place, says

engaged in earnest converse rion. One
evening a group of well-kno~n eorre-
sponden,s, among them Bennett Bur-

Winston Churchill suddenly appeared
on the scene and rushed up to Mr.. Bur-
leigh to congratulate him on that bril-
liant stroke of his in getting away from
Ladysmith just at the right moment.

Mr.. Burleigh, that was the finest
thing you have ever done in jouI nalism

great"
This was kindly meant, but, unluck-

Punch used to say, might have been
expressed differently" By conse-
quence 1t only nettied the great war
correspondent, who replied:

other evening I was busily reading my
paper when woman got aboard al
Twelfth street. i glanced up slyly and
saw that al. the seats were occupied.
Hasty as my glance was she caught my
eye and that was my finish. Smiling
broadly, she came over to where was
sitting and exclaimed Why. how do
you do? How are all the folks?' I
couldn't place the woman to save my
life, but lifted my hat and replied that
we were al well. She must be some
friend of the amily,' Iargued with my
self, so | folded up my paper and gave
her my seat. After she had settled
herself comfortably she looked up Mt
me in queer sort of way and said:
Really, / must beg your pardon I
took you for Mr.. Jones. You look so
much like him. But she had the seat
and she kept it. 1t was clear case

uous of the present members of the

one of the members for Cork city, was
in 1867 sentenced to be hanged, drawn

sequently commuted to penal sersitude
for life. James O'Connor, who sits for

years penal servitude in 1868 and spent
several years in convict prisons. In

on, preparatory to undergoing a SEN

to 1875. member for Meath, and il was
on his death in the latter year that Mr..
farnell stepped into parliament for
the first time as his successor in the
