WILL WILEY.
Former HOpkinsviIIian Making
Big Success at Smiths Grove.

The following notice from the
Smiths Grove Gazette concerns a
former young business man of
Hopkinsvllle:
Mr.. w. A. Wiley, our produce
man, has established a business in
our midst that promises to outstrip
all others in magnitude-the whole
sale produce and lime business.
From a small start last winter Of a
few coops OF chickens and few
cases Of eggs, Mr.. Wiley has so in
creased his business that he now
ships produce by. the car load. HIS
territory has branched out IRON ten
to twenty miles i'm all directions
and his customers embrace nearly
every business man Ia this vicinity.
He buys from Rocky Hill Station.
Hays, Hydro, Radton, Three Forks,
Chalyteate Springs and many other
places. The merchants here and
all over the adjacent country
should give Mr. Wiley their undi
vlded trade, for his is one of the
most important industries in the
country. The most liberal prices
are paid and fair treatment may b,
expected in every transaction. Mr.
Wiley is a business man and know
just exactly how to do the RICH
thing by everyb body.
His lime manufacturing business
has every promise of being great.
He gets orders for car load lots and
he ships to all parts of the country.
This lime is burned on the little
knob and is the best made. The L.
& N. railroad will soon conduct a
switch line out to the kiln. In both
branches of his business he is
bound to succeed because he buys
what the people have to sell, and
sells then commodities they need.

Why Gov. Bailey is a Bachelor.

St. Lotus Globe-Democrat.
 Former classmates of Governor-elect Willis J. Bailey of Kansas say the req son he is unmarried is because he was tilted while a student at the University of Illinois by charming coed. The girl whom he courted and who promised to marry him is now the wife of a railroad man, and they live in Florida. Young Bailey was freshman and she was in her sophomore year. Their courtship is a part Of the record of the Gas of 'ss. Their engagement was announced at the time MT. Bailey graduated. He went to Kansas to take charge of his fathers stock farm, while she remained at Cham paign. For while the correspondence was voluminous, the tenor of the girl letters being all pleas for him to return. Then school opened and the rival ap- peared. Social life was livelier than ever at Champaign that winter and the very common result followed. Any way. one day Willis Bailey, then young ranch man, received a long-expected letter It was from her. He tore it open and read. His face fell, and If there had been any one to hear they might have heard the man register VOW never again to trust a woman with his heart Not long after he received the announcement of the marriage of his whilom fancee to the other fellow.

and even his mother after the fathers

| and even his mother, after the father S death, kept him at work on the farm. Charles Brockden Brown, the first noted | American novelist, was the son of an humble Quaker of Philadelphia. His biographer (Dunlap) says the son was delicate and his parents only humored his predileotion for literature as a child ish fancy. From his austere surround ings, the future novelist gathered the ma terial for his curiously- reconstructed mete- physical and sociological plots, in Car | sol 'Alcutn," Caleb Williams" and | "weiland"

He wrote many thoughtful works and became the fore most thinker of his time.
 What a surprise 1t would have been to the honest old miner of Eisleben. on the eve of St. Martin, to have been told that his son, born to him that day. would be- come the great reformer.

 appear that she breaks the mould and there's an end of it. That a man inherits, to some extent the moral qualities Of his parents may be allowed, though the hypothesis would seem to be one into which we must not enquire too curtously That a man necessarily in- herfts his intellectual character from them. would seem to be wholly unwar- ranfed by the mass of biographical evil dence.
 What was there in common between the rough sea captain and his son, William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania? How little could Gabrini the small inn-keeper In the Roman Ghetto, have expected to become the father of the celebrated Tribune. Cola di Rienzi? Or that honest poor man of Ipswich" "-grazier or butch er-to have introduced into English hls- tory the great Cardinal Woolsey?

Schiller, the greatest (ex- cept Goethe) of the German poets, had reached manhood before his father died. whom he had sorely vexed by his vagrom disposition. Little could the elder Schiller foresee that the young. indifferent sur geon. who fretted against the uncon. geniality of his call, would finally pro- duce such matchless works as "WaIlen- stein" and the Maid of Orleans" Petrarch's father would fain have made Francesca a lawyer; happily, his death left the poet free to follow the spontane. ous impulses of his genius-to celebrate Laura in immortal verse and to receive the Laureate's crown in the Roman capi- tai This is not the only case. in which a mans death has conferred on his son a double blessing-frst by being his father and second. by dying before he could mar his career (which, if he had done, he might have never been a great mans father. as genius will droop and wtther in an uncongenial atmosphereA The father of Claude Lorraine wanted | to make him a pastry cook while Ben | venuto Cellini's father had no higher ann | bition for his son than to make him an | expert flute player.

posterity. Most of them have even been deprived the gratihcation, which the fame and future of their sons might be expected to give.
 Among musicians there does occur an other exception to the rule of inheritance of talent. Mozart's father was a prac- tical musician. Abraham Mendelssohn was always proud of being the son of the illustrious Moses Mendelssohn, while the Bach family were noted musicians for many generations. The father of Schubert was a schoolmaster, but was the chief instructor of his gifted son. Paganini was taught also by his father and Sir Arthur Sullivan was born amid sweet sounds"
 Evidently a heavy responsibility rests upon the fathers of great men. and as we have seen, the relationship is one which involves considerable amount of risk and inconvenience There may be some thing to be said in favor of the inheri- tance of genius from the maternal side. but that is outside the present discus sion.

 ,It Is asserted that the mother of Ma

 Of his father. the honest and patriotic
 lawyer of Ajacsio. who was a much more respectable character. by the way, than

 Arras advocate suddenly disappeared from his family (while his son was only 2 years of age), little could he think that this son would one day terrorize France
 under the name of Maximilian Robes pierre. rs
 We may even suspect that parental af ieeuon may be marred by slight strain or Jealousy. as was the case on the part of King James I. in relation to Prince Henry, when he discovered that he had brought into the world rival who con. stantly held up a mirror to reflect the littleness of his fathers mental statue measured by the standard of his own making. Sir Timothy Shelley resented the klnd Of renoWn, which accrued to him as the father of the author of "Quaen Nab and the Revolt of Islam." No doubt. he felt that he had committed a ristake-he. the rigidIy conservative and pIosaic Sussex squire-of giving to the world social revolutonist, a political destructive and a brilliant poet in his son and heir.

 Abraham Cowley. contemporary with Milton, was one of the greatest English poets. Ills father was a grocer and died before the precocious son, at il years of age, wrote ''Piramus and Thisbe."
