In MEMORY
of Alex. Dempster, who died June g..
1904:
just as the night was closing.
And dawning inio day.
Down came the great Death Rsaper,
And took our friend away.
After weeks of weary struggling
With the life-tid to and fro,
His pulse has ceased to do it's bidding,
And his soul is called to homeward go
Each soHl Is sent on some great mission,
And in the end returns to God.
His work is done; his hands are folded,
His soul, forever. rests with God.
Tell me not IN mournful numbdrs,"
Life is but shameful plot.
This soul returns to Him who gave it,
If. in life. we forget him not.
Life is real; life is earnest,
And the grave is not it's goal.
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul. :"
There is a home; rest eternal,
For the soul that live1 for God.
Though the form be hidden from us
Farbeneath earth heavy sod.
Life is short; time is fleeting,
And life's race is quickly run.
| He has4illed his life's one mission,
He has heard glad, "Well DONE"
Now he's waiting for us yonder,
In the land so bright and fair.
Keep believing; trust in Jesus,
You and | shall soon be there.
We miss our friend from out our circle
We miss bis kindly smiling face,
But recall him oh no; never!
He has found Ia better place.

SENSATIONAL
INDICTMENT
Returned Against W. A. Nisbet
by Hopkins County Grand
Jury.
RENTED HALL TO DANCING GIRL
OUTFIT DURING THE CARNIVAL

One of the shows that followed
the recent street carnival given
at jacksonville by the A. o. U.
w. and w. O. w. organizations
has gotten a prominent citizen
of that city into a very unpleas-
ant predicament. Mr.. w. A.
Nisbet, widely known as a
wealthy business man and real
estate owner, has been indicted
upon the charge of conspiring
with the manager of the show to
keep a disorderly house.
The manager of the show was
A. M. Matthews a character who
follows the street carnivals
throughout the country giving
such lewd exhibitions as are too
swift for a town of Madison
ville's size and sentiment. Mat
thews was also indicted but he
has gone to other fields and will
not answer. Mr.. Nisbet says he
did not know the show was i'm
moral and that he had an agree
ment with Matthews that the
show should not be immoral in
any way. The action of the
grand jury is believed to have
been brought about through the
sentiment created by the Law
and Order League of Madison
vile, although that organization
disclaims having taking any Of
fetal action in the matter.

pardoned Glenn Buchter, the man
who murdered his daughter.
II made a mistake in issuing

feel that the act justified the
storm Of abuse which was heaped
on me from all Sides"
This is what Mr.. Thorne told
his friends in, Louisville yester-
day when the question of the
Buchter pardon was mentioned.
He seemed to feel deeply the &C
ton of the people in all parts of

REGISTRATION DATES.
When Voters Who Have Not Registered
May do 50 at Clerks Office.

The registration law makes
provision for the registration of
all legal voters in incorporated
towns who were absent from
home on the regular registration
day. The voter must go. to the
county court clerks office at
Madisonville upon the dates fixed
by law and there register. He
can do this without any cost. 1t
is only in case where a certificate
has been lost that any charge Is
to be made by the clerk.
The law fixes "Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday preceding
November election in each year"
as the days for such registration.
This will throw the registra-
ton at the county clerks Office
on Monday, Oct. 81, and Tuesday
and Wednesday, Nov. l and 2.
There are very few Darlington
voters who did not register on
the regular day, and it is under
stood the registration was gen.
orally pretty thorough in all the
Incorporated towns of this coun-
ty.
1t was reported that the Earl
ington city council would pass
an ordinance providing for sup
Elementary registration day but
no such ordinance has been pub
lished and it is conceded on all
sides that such another day
would be an unnecessary ex-
pense.
