wrap her up and conduct her back to

An Active Life.

The Winchester Sun has the fol-
lowing to say of Elder J. w. Hard
ing, of that city, and who is well
known to many of our readers:
Z" Mr.. Harding was seventy-nine
years old Tuesday, May 6, 1902.
He is still blessed with an unusual
amount of physical strength, fill
ing regularly all of his appoint
ments, and attending to his daily
business as usual. His mind is
clear and vigorous and his memo
ry retentive. He has married more
couples, heldmore meetings, preach
ed more sermons, received and
baptized more people into the
church, and performed the last sad
rites at the grave of a greater num-
ber of persons than any other min
lister in Central Kentucky. Through
all the vicissitudes of his busy and
eyentful life, devising ways, means
and plans for the upbuilding and
betterment of humanity, he has
borne a cheerful, happy spirit.
His life has been gleet success
and when he shall have finished
his course there will truly be said
more pleasant things of this soldier
Of the cross and less unpleasant
than any man of whom it has
been our pleasure to be so well ac-
quainted.

Admiral William 7. Sampson, who
commanded the North Atlantic
fleet in the war with Spain,
from internal hemorrhage. He
had been suffering nearly
year and a half and it was
necessary to detach him from the

described as follows, by naval
surgeon:
Admiral Sampson suffered from
softening of the brain and degene-
ration of the arterial system. The
wasting away of brain tissues was
due to a lack of blood nourishment.
This brought on aphasia, which re-
