THE BIRDS sLUMBER SONG.

Swinging, swaying,
Swinging, swaying,
In the gray nest soft and warm,
Patient little mother birdie
Keeps the wee eggs safe from harm.
Far above, the clouds are sailing.
White and feecy DER the blue;
Far below, like stars of morning,
Shine the daisies, bright with dew
Swinging, swaying,
Swinging, swaying,
Meath their mothers downy breast,
Tiny nestlings rest securely,
While the night wind rocks the nest.
Far above. the moon is sailing
Mid the stars, with sivery light;
Far below, like 6eecy cloudlets,
White lambs slumber through the night.
Swinging, swaying,
Swinging, swaying,
To the music of the leaves,
As they sing, and sigh, and whisper,
Rustling in the summer breeze.
Rock the cradle gently, south wind
Little leaves, sing soft and low;
For the baby birds are sleeping.
Swinging, swaying, to and fro

HARTFORD BANK ROBBER,
George Gray, Again in Custody
Charged With Robbery OF
SturgiS Bank.

George G. Gray was brought from
the Eddyville penitentiary Saturday

Morganfield Sun.
The Bank of Hartford was robbed

der arrest for the Sturgis bank rob-
berry.
The Sturgis bank was robbed De-
cember II, 1901; and the robbers sue
ceeded in securing nearly $4,000.
1t was neat piece of work, in as
much as the safe was blown, and
escape made without arousing the
citizens.
The Fidelity and Casualty Company
of New York, the company in which
the Sturgis bank was insured claims
to have strong case against Gray.

DROWNED IN ROUGH CREEK,
Tom Leisure Attempted to
Swim Across Stream
To Meet Wife From Whom he Had
Separated and Sank Be-
meath the Waves.

Thomas Leisure, youngest son of
John Leisure, was drowned in Rough
Creek about five miles above Hart
ford last Sunday under circumstan-
ces of an extraordinary character.
Leisure was about twenty-five
years of age and was married. His
domestic relations were not very
agreeable and he separated from his
wife. He had about brought about
a settlement with his wife as to the
division of the property and had
concluded never to return to
her home. Friends of the couple
interviewed, however, and after much
persuasion Leisure agreed to have a
talk with his wife in hope of bring
ing about a reconciliation.
Accompanied by a few of his
friends, Leisure started for his wife's
home on Sunday. She resided about
five miles above Hartford on Rough
creek. When the party reached the
landing opposite the home of Leisure
there was no boat on the side of the
creek on which they were but one on
the opposite side. Leisure had
about given up the idea of return
ing to his wife's home but his friends
were still trying to devise some
means to get him across the creek.
Leisure, seeming to become des-
perate, suddenly exclaimed that he
would swim across the creek. He
started into the water without re-
moving any of his clothes. Some
one asked him if he did not intend
to remove his clothes and he then
pulled off his coat and threw it on
the bank. He plunged into the
water and started swimming across
the creek. Before leavin g. however,
he told his friends that it did not
make much difference if he did not
reach the opposite bank.
When within ten feet of the bank
and in sight of his home Leisure
called out that he was drowning.
He disappeared under the surface of
the water and did not reappear.
His friends on the bank could do
nothing to assist him.
His wife seemed almost heart
broken when her husbands tragic
death was announced to her. She
had been willing for the recencilia-
ton and was waiting short dis
lance from the river for his home
coming.
The body of Leisure was recover
ed about six hours afterward.

coal and mineral land. If sufficient
amount can be optioned drilling will
begin at once. The probability is
that we will have mine in operation
in the near future. This will be a
great thing for this community as a
mining town will give us sale for
the product of our farms which has
been almost worthless for want of a
market thereby increasing the value
OF our land greatly. The farmers
should take this into consideration
and not let this opportunity pass.

ed before the convention the name
of David Moreland, of Ohio county,
for President. There being no 9TH

their failure to land their man for
President, yet they had nothing but
good words for Mr.. Moreland and
the meeting came to an end with
good feeling and hope of success pic
tured on every face. The officers
are all good men and true. Under
their guidance the entire State will
be organized as rapidly as possible.
NOTES.
Our county reported 80 out Of 40
delegates present.
Ohio county is the best organized
Equity county in the world.
The Daviess county Equity band,
composed of farmer boys, made eX-
cellent music during the sessions.
Greenville certainly furnished free
entertainment all the way from
plenty of good things to eat to a
free opera house in which to hold
the meetings.
Henry county had the distinction |
of furnishing the largest and small
est delegate. although our own and |
only. John p. Foster. was a close
second for the latter honor.
When the Ohio County delegation
was asked to report to the creden-
tials committee. it looked as though |
the entire audience was from our
county. This caused some wag to
call out, they only want the dele
gates from your county. not the en-
tire membership"
After everybody conceded that
Daviess county is the best coun-
ty on earth, to keep their dele
cation in good humor, they claimed
to have the only colored delegate,
and put him up to make a speech.
It has since been learned that he
ives in Ohio county, near the line.
