rators of Kentucky University.

Mountain near Harrisburg Ga,
yesterday afternoon and died of
his injuries.
Capt. May left Lexington last
Friday, arriving in this city the
same night, accompanied by Jos.

ed here until yesterday morning,
when they took j. T. Walker. of

the mountain. They had reached
point half way up the mountain
and inspected a vein of coal, when
they assembled further, Captain
May was standing on precipice
800 feet high. He took hold of a
dead tree, which broke, and the
top part of the tree fell on his
head and hurled him from the pre-
ciplce. The man rolled over two
lodges and 200 feet below lodged
against log.
Mr. Robinson reached the Cap
tain first. He found him uncon-
scious, with fractured skull and
other injuries. Mr.. Walked jun
ped into the saddle and rode over
the mountain to Harrisburg, to get
DR.. Rhyme. The two reached the
unfortunate man too late. The
Capt had died without regaining
consciousness.
With the aid of mountaineers
litter was constructed and the re-
mains were carried to Harrisburg
and then conveyed to this city.
where they were prepared for bu-
rial.
Capt May was a member of the
Masonic order and owned large
farm near Paris, KY. He leaves
three children. He was one of

In Love if Love be Love.

True love demands perfect faith
and confidence on both sides.
Without these qualities love is
but a poor, spurious initaton-an
Infant cropping for the light. 20
Where there is no trust there is
no happiness, and where love does
not bri n Z appiness IT
is hardly worth the keeping Some
times such trivial things cause the
little rift within the lutte Of in
spiration. We feel irritable and
do not care TO explain ourselves at
a time when a simple explanation
would make all things right, or
we stupidity misunderstood the ex
PLANTATION when it is made, and lo.
the small edge Of the wedge of
distrust has thrust its ugly self in
TO our love. Once the opening is
made it quickly widens, and love
folds his wings in sorrowful ST.
lence and makes ready to fit. then
again we sometimes gloss over
matters by half truths. and they
are worst of all because they place
things on false basis, aud the
mixture of truth and uutruth
makes poor love potion Love
is never satisfied with halfway
measures: he wants all or nothing
and he knows that there will be no
rest for his feet in homes where
happiness does not rest on a foun-
dation of mutual confidence. / se
discretion and sense in the things
that you conhde in husband, wife
or sweetheart but do not withhold
things that were far better tod
Just because you feel nervous or
self-conscious over the telling Of
them. Just pause and realize that
you pay but poor compliment to
the loved one when you do not
trust to the love and sympathy
that will surely only be too will
ing to forgive and to forget the
fault.
