WILLIAM MCCARTNEY.
tIonored Citizen of Darlington
Dies at His Daughters Home
In Morsanfield.
BURIED AT SPRINGFIELD, TENNESSEE.
Throat Trouble OF Months Standing
Which Could Not Be Controlled.


William McCarley, one of our
oldest and most honored citizens,
died on his 59th birthday, Thurs
day, December 4th, LOOP, at the
home Of his daughter, Mrs. VIM.
Hughes, at Morganfeld, KY, af-
ter an illness of some months.
The remains were taken to
Springfield, Tenn, Friday and
inferred on Saturday afternoon
In the beautiful cemetery at that
place. The services were con-
Quoted at the residence of Mr..
Barnes, a brother-in-law, begin
ming at one o'clock, by the Rev.
Martin Ball, Baptist minister,
of Springfield. 1t was a beauti-
full ceremony and was supple
mented with songs by the Spring
field male quartette, led by Capt.
Murphey, publisher of one of the
Springfield papers. The pail
bearers were Messrs. ]. r. Dean,
Z. Mcleod, Dan M. Evans, Geo.
Robinson and Paul M. Moore, of
Darlington; and Mr.. Lee,
of Springfield. Many friends of
the family attended the services
and followed the body to the
grave. The floral offerings were
choice.
Mr.. McCarley's trouble was an
affection of the throat, which
medical skill could not control
and change of climate failed to
reach. He went into the Ten
nessee mountains last summer
and returned home very slightly
benefited. Later, about October
1st, he left home with Mrs. Nc
Carley and their youngest son,
Waverly, for the Uvalde noun
tains, about $50 miles west of
San Antonio, Texas. His stay
at the town of Bourne was brief,
and not making any gain, he
concluded to return to Kentucky,
going directly to Morganfield,
where his few remaining days
were spent, surrounded by his
entire family. The decline was
gradual but sure until finally his
life went out peacefully in the
presence of those he loved best
and to whom he had dedicated a
most useful life.
William McCarley's friends
were legion in Darlington, where
he lived for thirty years, and in
Hopkins county, where he was
widely known. He was a man
of high moral character and
strictest integrity, whose word
on whatever subject was his
bond. His attachments were
strong and lasting friendship,
and his readiness to favor a
friend was limited only by his
ability and his opportunities.
In 1860 Mr.. Nc cCarley professed
faith and joined the New Hope
Presby terian church, at Auburn,
KY, near his place of nativity,
and to his death his was a con-
sistent and dutiful life. He
was most patient and resigned
in his suffering and no murmur
escaped his lips.
Mrs. McCarley and three chill
dren survive. The children are
Mrs. VIM. Hughes, of Morgan
field, and two sons, Clyde and
Waverly. The family will make
their home with Mrs. Hughes, at
Morganfield.

semble all specimens and pre-
pare them for the exhibit. 1t
was Mr.. Norwood's idea that the
exhibit should in every way pos
sible be original. He believed
that Kentucky would be able to
display monoliths of stone where
other States famed for their
rock could present only small
columns. He said Kentucky
ought to become one of the
Unions great stone-producing
States. Kentucky had in it every
variety and of the best, if only
developed. Mr.. Norwood brought
with him a specimen of clay
shingles made by Mr.. Searcy's
plant at Waco and showed it to
the committee. He suggested
something of the kind for the
roof of the Kentucky building at
the Worlds Fair.

Advertisement win Be Given.

When the question came up of
exhibitors being given credit for
their specimens put on display,
President Ford announced that
it was the associations intention
to give every concern furnishing
au exhibit the fullest possible
measure of advertisement for so
doing, both in the use of its
name on the specimen shown
and in the catalogue of the ex-
hibit to be distributed gratis,
with handbook of Kentucky.
Mr.. Norwood was unanimous
ly chosen the committees ex-
pert and general counsellor on
all matters pertaining to the ex-
hibit, its collection and installa-
tion; to have all analyses made,
all maps, determine the size and
shape of the exhibit, point out
the location of specimens, etc.
On motion of Mr.. Ford, Chair
man Weaver and Profs. Nor
wood and Burk were appointed
special Exhibit Committee to
|
form the exhibit, and to whom
all matters pertaining directly to
the collection and installation
of the exhibit should be referred.
These gentlemen were also
elected an Executive Committee,
to act between meetings of the
full committee.
The amount of space necessary
for the exhibit at the exposition
was next discussed, and it was
the unanimous opinion of the
committee that at least 5000
square feet would be required.
Kentucky had 1900 square feet
of space for her mineral exhibit
at the Chicago Worlds Fair, and
the committee is certain the
State will show four times a.
much at st. Louis as she did al
the Windy City Exposition.

In the days Of Jefferson and Adams
a person went west when he venfur-
ed no farther toward the setting OF the
sun than the wild and trackless forests
around Buffalo and Lake Erie; a gen.
Grafton or so later "the west" had
pushed on to the longitude Of Chicago
and Milwaukee, and some Of the most
far-sighted statesmen OF those days,
including the astute Webster, were
then OF the conviction that we had Al
most reached our Ultima Thule in that
direction When Charles Dickens made
his first visit to America in 1S42. he
went no farther west than St Louis,
and was evidently under the impress
sion that he had gone perilously near
the region OF scalping knives and tom
