not vote a split ticket because Mr.. Carlin

as a Republican. Mr. Manlove is a Demo-
crat and Mr.. Wise is a Republican.
Many persons paid their taxes for the

Mrs. Anne Hammond, one of the old
residents of this city, and the Oldest in
years, died last evening, at her home, on
South Fifth street, where she resided
nearly 40 years. The deceased knew that
the end was near. She passed away
quietly. On Saturday she visited the
home of Denney S. Smith and tearfully
said: "Please let me look at Mrs Carter,
who was then laid out for burial. Her
request was granted and, taking hold of
the hand of the deceased she said: "Good-
bye, old friend; / will be with you in few
weeks"
Mrs. Hammond laid claim to being the
oldest active nurse in the United States,
having followed the calling for over 20
years. She was nurse while a girl in
Liverpool, England, prior to coming to
this country. She pursued the calling
after her arrival here and until within a
few years she never knew what IL was to
be i'll. Had she lived until August 29th
next she would have reached her Goth
milestone in lifes journey. She is said
to have been present at the births of about
,760 children and has nursed under the
different physicians of this city for over
60 years She was kind-hearted, gem
erous, and never known TO speak i'll of
