DEATH OF COL. GRAF
DOCK.

The death Of Col John G. Grad
dock. Of the Paris Kentuckian-Cit-
izen, brought feeling of sadness to
many of the newspaper fraternity
Of Kentucky. when the news was
received on Christmas morning.
Col. Craddoek was one Of the best
known editors in Kentucky and re-
manned actively at work until nearly
so years of age. He was delegate
to the National Editorial Association
at Omaha last year. and though
growing inhrm with age, he APP
peared to enjoy the proceedings as
much as he did % years before. The
writer first met Col. Croddock in
1886 1886 AMI il is doubtful Il ne has ever
missed Press meeting since that
time. He was an old bachelor and
his age was, even "a years ago, the
subject of many a joke. In 1897 he
went with the N. E. A. to Mexico
and in the City of Mexico inquired
for sweetheart he had there in
1847. He found her granddaughter
and told her he came very near be-
ing her grandfather. He was &C.
centric, joviaI, kind-hearted. and de-
spite his economical habits. was lib
eral and benevolent. A short time
before his death he furnished a
"Craddock Room" in the Confed-
crate Home at Pee Wee Valley.
The Kentuckian feels genuine
sorrow that the old veteran has
passed away, Peace to his ashes.
