We'll said.

Here is clipping we have had
for some time, having forgot from
whose paper we took it. It's GER
tainly full of good truth. "a Ken
tuckian kneels to none save woman
and his God" These proud words
Of the heroic Crittenden, spoken be.

wbite-walled Spanish crypt, when
ordered by his executioners to re-
ceiye their fire in a kneeling pos
Lure, expressin characteristic words
and feeling the pride of state, ira
dition and ancestry, which has ever
distinguished the men of our soil.
The spirit Of pride and defiance
seems indigenous to Kentucky.
From the highest TO the lowest, in
by-paths and hedges, it is found and
and fiourishes. The naughty though
poor, mountaineer, at the expense
of life and limb keeps his honor un-
furnished, even to third and fourt
generations. The equally proud
monarch of the Blue Grass values
above all things his good name and
Z reputation and will die in it's de-
Tense. But in both sections of our
fair Commonwealth there exists a
sentiment that is superior even to
family pride, and that is respect
and reverence for womankind. No
where are the ladies honored as in
old Kentucky. The glamour of me-
diaeyal romance yet hovers over our
sunny cline, and we feel for the
daughters of our State all the chiv-
alrous idolatry that stamped the
knights Of yore. An exemplifica-
zion of our respect for family which
attracted widespread attention oc

Kentuckian under a non de plume,
bravely met a felon's death without
divulging the secret of his identity
for fear of attaching stigma and
bringing dishonor to an honored
name. OF such men are our PEG
pie composed; there may be evil in
them, but the good is uppermost,-

Those citizens of Kentucky who
are indulging restless desire to
better their farming conditions
and have Texas as their objective
point in their minds should ponder
the subject well Mr.. Charles M.
Wheeler, one of the most intelligent
and reliable observers of farming
situations in Texas, who has for a
score or more years lived in that
state, writes to the Farmers Home
Journal as follows concerning emf
grafton to that great state. 81
see the railroads running into the
west and southwest are making
low rates and offering great induce
ments to home-seekers. This is
well enough. There is plenty of
room and plenty of unsettled land.
But the people in the old states
had better remember the old max
i'm: Look berore you leap OPP
portunities are good for those who
have money to buy homes and set
up for business, but for poor men
without means and who are unac-
quainted with the business meth
DDS of the country, think the
prospect not very inviting, in this
part of Texas at least. The land
is nearly all under fence, and in all
the best parts of the country the
stock law is in force and stock not
allowed to run at large, and pas
turage is hard for renters to find"
Mr.. Wheeler closes by advising
people thinking of emigrating to
first visit Texas before deciding to
move.

Judge Scores Him.

In referringto the appointment of
counsel for the appeal of Claud
O'Brien's case at Lexington, Cir
cult Court Judge Parker, in speak
ingof Mr.. Feland, Atty. for O'Brien,
said: 1.-the belief had been enter
tanned, by the court itself, and
those interested in the case, that
this case could have been concluded
last Saturday night, but out of con-
sideration for Mr.. Feland, and the
serious nature of the case, this
court subjected the jury to the in
convenience of being kept under
lock and key in seclusion over sam
day. Monday morning came and
Mr.. Feland was again absent from
the court room. After waiting an
hour he soon came in and it was
soon noticed that he was not in a
condition to proceed with the case.
In case of such serious import,
however, the mere inconvenience of
a jury is a small matter, but the
court feels that the manner in
which Mr.. Feland has acted in this
case is simply barbarous." What
ails Mr.. Feland ED.

On Dec. 8, the combined Ger
man and British fleets captured
and towed out of the harbor at La
guarya four Venezuelan warships
manned by 800 men. The Captain
of the British cruiser Retribution

timatum demanding within 48 hours
a cash payment of $4,000 each
to Great Britain and Germany for
the settlement of claims arising
from past revolutions.

Court of Appeals ReYerses Case.

The Court of Appeals, Judge
Paynter writing, reversed the judg-
ment of the Bourbon Cicuit Court
in the case of Sallie w. Spears and
others against Claude NJ. Thomas,
receiver.
The appellee was receiver for the
estate of the late Thomas Wood
ford, valued at 100000.
The court below allowed him
SIS, 900 for his services. The court
here says $4,000 was a sufficient
compensation and directs an allow
ance of that sum.

In speaking of cigarette smoking
the Southern Tobacconist says
there are business men of biggest
brain in railroad Presidents and
great factory managers, etc., who
prohibit smoking in old or young,
based on the fact that cigarette
smokers are far less useful and re-
liable morally and physically than
non-users.

sons thirteen years to pay off COM

killed in the mines.
