story of a Hermit Printer.

Captains Spencer and Shaw, the local
United States inspectors OF steam boilers
and bulls, on q recent trip up to the head
waters OF the ST. Johns river. relates the
Florida Times Union, unearthed probably
one Of the most unique newspaper plants in
the state of Florida. The plant was. discov-
cred in the midst of a wild. barren country.
Captains Shaw and Spencer ran upon the hut
in which it was located accidentally. 1t was
the only house, such as IT was. within a ra-
dius OF many miles and naturally the tn
spectors thought that they would pay a visit
to the tenants. When they entered the
front part Of the house 1t seemed as. IL the
place was not occupied, but on going back
into a rear room, which had been trans
formed into a printshop, they came upon an
old man of unkempt appearance, who was
bending over a printers case, evidently
busy setting type. The old man had long,
matted hair that hung down on his neck
and partially concealed his face. His clothes
were frayed out and worn. The old man
was Of kindly visage. however, and stopped
in his work to give the visitors a welcome,
II required only q few questions TO get him
started telling about his printshop. He
said tha he was getting out a magazine.
He said that the publishing OF the paper
was his life work. He had settled down In
the wilds, bought a small printing outfit,
secondhand, and spent his days alone at
the case, or at a desk putting his thoughts
into shape. The paper is published once a
month at the subscription price OF 30 cents
a year. The lone printer is unmarried and
there is no other human being within sew
eral miles OF his habitation.

Temperance Legion Meets

The meeting of the Loyal Temperance
Legion at the NJ. E. church Dec. 10th,
was one of the most interesting of the
wear. The recitations and solos were
fine and those who took part in the de-
bate deserve great credit for preparing
SO thoroughly on their subject. Each
side made so many good points that it
was hard for the judges to decide. 1t
was finally decided one for the affirma-
tive and two for the negative. The fol
lowing officers were elected:
President-Hattie Biddison.
/ Vice-President- Win Matsler.
Secretary Martha Young.
Treasurer-Ruth Chase.
Captain-Earl Gardner.
Ensigns- McGinnis, Max Eales

More Prosperity.

The first of December common en-
ployees on this branch of the Q were
notified that wages were to be reduced
from $1.50 to $1.12a per day, and also
that, at that price, their. services were
no longer required. Only two worklnen
the foremen, remain on the Corydon
section at present, the balance having
been 4'laid off, It will be remembered
that about one week before election the
pay for this class Of work was increased
from s1.25 to $1.5O per day, and, our
Republican friends. done considerable
blowing about plenty Of work at good
wages. But now it's no work at all
suppose we bear. these facts in mine
and see if the performance is repeated

MORTUARY.
ZeIah Ransom plercy.

Rev. Zelah Ransom Piercy was born
Jan 10, 1927, in Wayne county, Ken
lucky, and at years Of age he moved
with his parents to Morgan county, H.,
and at about the age of 10 he enlisted in
Co. g., 1st III. Vol. Infantry. At the
close of the Mexican war he was mus
tered out and returned to his home
in Illinois. At the age of % he was
converted and united with the M. E..
church and about year later he was
Licensed to the ministry in the South
ern Illinois Conference. On May 10,
1866, he was united in marriage to Miss
Emma Jane Gardner. To this union four
children were born, two sons that died
in their infancy, and two daughters,
Elizabeth Jane Walden and Francis
ellen Young.
About the year 1858, he came west
with his family and located in Elk
county, Kansas, that being at that time
almost barren wilderness, with but
few white people located there. His
two daughters died shortly after they
were married, Elizabeth Jane leaving
son about 16 months old to the care Of
his grandparents, and as their children
had all gone on before, Lewis was joy
and comfort to them in their declining
years. But darker days were coming
for his beloved companion died Oct. 26,
1897, since which he has lived with his
sister, Mrs. S. F. Gates, greater part
of the time.
Our dearly beloved grandfather,
brother, uncle and friend died Dec. z,
1908. Rev. l. N. Woodward, pastor of
the M. e. church at Leon, conducted the
funeral services, bis text being Rev.
14:13, "Blessed are the dead which die
in the Lord" He was laid to rest by
the side of one of his little sons in the
Shy cemetery Dec. 8, 1908, and thus we
have laid to rest one Of our best citi-
zens, man willing to do his Masters
bidding. He leaves Lewis Walden, his
only grandson, a sister, Mrs. Sarah F..
Gates, one brother, VIM. Piercy, nep-
hews, neices and a large concourse of
friends to mourn his departure. But
our loss is his gain for we know that he
is with his SAVIOR and his dear loved
ones that have gone on before.
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
Frem which none ever wal kes to weep.

Unbroken by the last of foes.

But thine is still blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep.

Marriage Statute May Be Amended I.

Much discussed at the coming session OF
the legislature because of it's radical
departure from the traditions OF centur-
les, is Bayer's amendment to the mar

the bill which has been drafted and is
being circulated among the members of
both houses of the legislature. ..
1t will be introduced almost as soon
as the legislature convenes. 1t takes
It's title from CD. Bayer, of Grinnel,
the head of the marriage reform associ-
alton of this state. He is an enthus-
iastic reformer and hopes to find
several equally enthusiastic champions
in both houses Of the legislature.
The measure provides that all candi-
dates for matrimony must present a GER
tifcate of a reputable physician along
4 with their license before they can be
married. The physician must certify
that he has instructed them in the mys.
teries Of rnatrimony, viewed from the
medical standpoint, and, after an ex-
animation to see how deeply his words
have touched, issue the certificate as {
,, sort of diploma to show that botl
parties to the contract have qualified Al

WHO WILL BE JUDGE
Speculation Rife at to Who will be
Appointed by Gov. Cummins to
Succeed Judge Parrish.

The resignation of Judge r. L. Par
rish, which has been placed in the hands
Of Gov. Cummins to take effect Jan. 1st
is causing a grand scramble among the
republican lawyers of the district, there
being quite number who are willing tc
allow the mantle to fall on their shout
ders. Gov. Cummins was called home
from Boston last week by the serious
illness of his aged mother, and is giving
but little attention to business for few
days, but the appointment of a new
judge is expected to be announced
within few days, as the judge must be
appointed in time to hold the January
term of court in this city, which con-
venes on Monday, January 4th.
Numerous candidates have been sug-
gested but the main struggle seems to
be. between w. E. Miller, of Bedford,
who was Judge Parrish's opponent for
the nomination, and Fl. K. Evans, OF
Corydon, both of whom are making a
fight to secure the appointment. 1t
seems to have been a rule adopted by
Governor Cummins in making appoint
ments to the bench to appoint Judge
for the time intervening before the next
general election, who will fill the office
only for that time and who will not be a
candidate for the nomination, thus leay-
ing the matter of nominating candi-
date entirely to the judicial district, as
should the candidate who is named by
the governor to fill the vacancy be a
candidate for the nomination it gives
him considerable advantage in securing
the nomination. But in this case it
seems that both Mr.. Miller and Mr..
Evans do not favor this plan and will
not accept an appointment if they are
barred from being candidate next fall.
The friends of James G. Bull, of Cres-
ton, are making an effort to secure his
appointment, and ]. J. McIntire and T.
G. Hardinger, both of Osceola, are can
didates for the position. Judge r. c.
Henry, of Mt. Ayr, is a $50 being urged
as a candidate and his fri ends are ask
ing Gov. Cummins to follow his usual
custom and appoint Judge Henry to fill
the vacancy until next fall with the
understanding that he will not be a
candidate for the nomination. 1t is un-
fderstood that state chairman r. Fl
Spence is urging the appointment OF
Judge Henry, who has served the dis
trict as 2 Circuit Court judge, but was
lcgislated out of Office before his term
expired when the law was passed abol-
ishing the Circuit Court. 1t is also
said that S: W. Miles, of Mt. Ayr, a
brother of United State Attorney Lewis
Miles, of Corydon, is a candidate, and il
is whispered among some that the ap
pointment might fall on Major J. 1
Young, of Leon, who is now in the gov,
erment employ at Washington.
Among Leon attorneys the genera
opinion seems to be that Mr.. Mile
will be appointed.

Lorena Hubbard

Was born in Morgan township, Nov.
26, 1903, and died at the home of her par
ents Dec. 10, 1903, being only IA days
old at her death. She leaves father,
mother little sister and brother to
mourn her loss. Although her stay on
earth was short she was very dear to
her parents hearts. Like some fair
flower the ruthless hand of death has
plucked it, not to wither and decay but
to bloom in some faircr cline. There is
comfort for the parents in the thought
that Christ has said: "Suffer little
children to come unto,me for such is the
kingdom Of Heaven After a brief
funeral service at the house by N. Hal
stead, Dec. IL, the little form was laid
to rest in the Dale cemetery.
