Five Generations Here.

Franklin county, Pa, can beat the record
of the five generations in a York county family
which was given much publicity in the Phia-
delphia papers recently. This county can
beat this because the five generations are
represented all from the one side while the
York family are made up from both sides OF
the house. We refer to the Baker family of
Letterkenny township. The members are:
Jacob Baker. greal-great grandfather, aged
92, of Leterkenny; Simon Baker, great grand
father, aged Il, of Letterkenny; Jacob Baker,
grandfather, aged A., of Lurgan townships
Mrs Laura Baker Stoufier, aged 20, mother
of Preston Stoutfer of Chambersburg, year.
The great great grandfather is enjoying good
health

Gale on the Pacific Coast.

SALT LAKE CRY. March 1o.-Since early
this morning California has been cut off COM
pletely from telegaphic communication with
the outside world At that time gale was
raging with almost hurricane violence at San
Francisco, and for some distance inland.
Meagre reports received from Southern Ore
gon points are to the effect that the storm was
almost Unprecedented in velocity and was gen
eral all along the California coast.
In Northern California the storm comes as
climax to a series OF snow and rain storms
that have caused numerous landslides and kept
the railroads partially blockaded for several
days.

Though a Southern sympathizer
at heart, Col. Craddock took no
part in the Civil war. He was
once captured by Morgan's men,
but soon afterward released. His
manner, at all times eccentric,
made Il false impression on the
Confederate soldiers, and that
fact probably saved him from
being carried a prisoner to Dixie.
Those who are intimately ac-
quainted with Col. Craddock can
testify to the fact that no man
had better heart, or warmer
sympathies for the suffering and
distressed. All his acts tended to
good. and none to evil. Emil
nently moral and correct III all
things, those who best knew him
had the highest appreciation OF
the man. Beneath his peculiar
ties was substratum of tender
ness and kindness possessed by
few, also u constituencies of tenn
per and joviality that years could
not abate or destroy. The butt
of thousands of jokes and Guips,
he received them all good ma
turedly and often joined in or
added to them by some quaint re-
mark or comment in his paper,
widely known as one of the best
weeklies in America.
Col. Craddock's first newspaper
venture, 1.-The True Kentuckian. y
was founded shortly after the
Civil War. The Western Citizen,
founded by Grimes & Johnson on
April Z, 1908, was published con-
tinuously up to some years after
Col. Craddock established his
paper. After passing through the
hands of Joel Lyle. VIM. G. Lyle,
John L. Walker and F. l.. Nc
Chesney, Col. Craddock purchased
the Citizen in the SOS and hyphe-
mated it with the Kentuckian and
calling the paper by the new name
|
of Kentuckian-CitiZen.
No one can say aught but good
of him. He never did harm to
any one. At one time he had
quite fortune, but lost it by EN-
dorsing for kinsmen, | have been
told. In domestic sense, his life
has been singularly destitute, be-
cause of the fact that he never
married, and of the further fact
that he had outlived all his i'm
mediate kinsmen. 1t is said OF
him that he never missed a wed.
ding or funeral he was invited
to. He had been the chroniclel
of three generations of people
and as such they cherish hi;

DEATH OF CAPT. HENRY Il.
IREYS.

Early Sunday morning, after a
brave struggle against disease,
lasting many weary months, Capt.
Henry Tillinghast Ireys, son-in-
law of Col. Chas. e. Hoge. passed
to the great beyond. aged 33 years.
Capt. Ireys was born and raised
at Greenville, Miss. He belonged
to prominent and cultivated
family. In August. 1896. he was
married to Miss Evelyn Baker
Hoge, eldest daughter of Col.
Chas. f. Hoge, and as a result of
that union three children were
given them.
Capt. Ireys was a Captain in a
Mississippi regiment in the Span
ish-American war, and rendered
efficient service. He has never
been well since his return from
the army.
Capt. Ireys was a graduate of
the Virginia Military Institute,
class of 1890 and was Il prosper
Gus young business man when
stricken with disease.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted from the residence of Col.
Hoge, this county, on Monday
afternoon, at 2:30, by Rev. J. Nc
Clusky Blayney, ID. d., after
which the remains were laid away
in our cemetery.
We tender our sincerest sym.
pathy to the bereft.

We noted in our last issue the

ington. The remains were taken
to Paris and the funeral services
conducted from the Methodist
Church, on Monday, at 2:3O
O'Clock p. m.
Mr.. Geo. A. Lewis, of this Office,
is the last of the office force who
assisted Col. Craddock getting
out the first issue of the True
Kentuckian, which was afterwards
consolidated with the Citizen, and
was known as the Kentuckian-
Citizen.
We give the following sketch of
Col. Craddock's life from the pen
of Col. w. H. Polk, a kinsman of
the veteran journalist:
l have known Col. Craddock
ever since my boyhood. He was
cousin of my fathers first wife,
Marietta Givens, of Harrison
county. His full name is John
Owens Craddock. and think his
age was about rs; but | never
knew him to tell others than
myself how old he was In that
respect he was as sensitive as a
woman. About year ago, Ill a
spirit of mischief, / asked him
hcw old he was when he went into
the Mexican war, and he told me.
| then added his then age to the
years that have since elapsed and
said: THAT makes you 49," and
he replied: Yes, that was pretty
slick in you, but you are the first
one ever admitted it to-" For
many years past the question of
Col Craddock's age and of his
failure to marry. have been joked
upon by nearly all who knew and
loved him. All Of these quips
and Jokes. when addressed to him
personally. were received in good
humor. There was no resentment
in his nature. All was sunshine
to him. He was a great admirer
of beautiful women and was wont
to say he had proposed TO many
and been rejected by all. A few
years ago he visited the City of
Mexico, and on his return stated
that while in the Mexican war in
1913 he had fallen in love with a
little Spanish girl. On his return
trip he hunted up the family and
asked for his old sweetheart, when
the woman to whom be was talk
ing replied: "Oh, she has been
dead for many years. She was
my grandmother. "
! doubt if There was any man
in Kentucky, or in the West, and
not prominent public official
ms we'll known as Col. CraddocE
was. He was born near Leesburg
Harrison county. his family being
early settlers in that region.
Some of his family attained tC
prominence in the business world.
At the breaking out of the Mex
lean war Col. Craddock Joined

Democratic party was well served by the

country for very brief period fifty years
ago. This drove the foreiSn-born voters.
the great majority Of whom at that time
were Irish Catholics. into the Democratic

south and east OF Europe fill the role OF
day laborers for the most part. while the
Irish are more likely to be found super

and grown with the growth o. the coun-
try, and as they perceive that this coun-
try has been for over forty years, ex-
ceptins a very brief interval. under the
sway and dominated by the policies OF
the Republican party. 1t is not surprising
that intelligent Irishmen are joining the
party under whose rule they have profit
ed so greatly.
There are many good reasons why
IrishmeD should vote the Republican ma

most OF its stress on one consideration.
which is that the candidate OF the Repub-
