BARNETT.

About ten days ago Cicero NJ
Barnett, a Republican politician OF
Ohio county, Kentucky, chairman OF
the Republican state central COM
mittee in the Taylor-Goebel cam
paiga of 1899, went to indianapolis
and had himself elected. the official
head of the American Society of
Equity. The man who had built up
the A. S. of E. was anxious to hold
on, but the word had evidently been
passed around among the Republican
members in Northern States that
lhe election of Barnett would give
him a chance to start some eve of
election fireworks in Kentucky that
might defeat the Democratic ticket.
No sooner was Barnett electing as

And Marble Like Features
Still Recognizable.

Lexington. KY. Nov. 1.-When
the body of Mrs. Margaret Brisby,
who was buried in 1856 in the old
Lutheran cemetery, was disinterred
for removal to the Lexington GENE.

features of the dead woman were
still recognizable and that the white
lace cap on the head of the corpse
was perfectly preserved and was as
neat and fresh in appearance as it
was when placed in the coffin more
than so years ago. The remarkable
preservation is attributed to the
pro lection Of the metallic easket,
which was Theoretically sealed.

providing they carry out the instruc-
lions. These tests are not a fad, but
necessity in order to get good corn.
Mr.. Hauser makes the experiments
very plain, and it is easy to understand
the benefits to be derived from good
seed over inferior grades Of the catch
all variety.
The poultry exhibit strikes the eye
of many visitors who are not interested
particularly in any other kind Of live
stock. The hall was crowded all day
Wednesday, showing that the average
visitor has an interest in a feathered
flock of some kind, that is something
else beside the ordinary barnyard
fowl Here is a department that Will
have to be enlarged If exhibitors will
be attracted, for it is crowded now
so densely that the stock is not shown
to the best of advantage. A total Of
$50 fowls are on display in this depart

Farmers at the county fair should
not let themselves be carried away
with the amusement features to the
neglect of some Of the educational ex-
hibits. Nearly every farmer nowadays
will admit that there is something
about his business that he can learn
every day, altho it is claimed that
there are some, even in this enlight-
ened age, who consider that what
they don't know about farming would
MT make very large volume.
1t is both these classes that should
be reached by the instructor in scien-
tific farming, and If the farmer wants
a free short course he should visit the
county farm experiment station tent,
which is in charge of M. A.. Hauser,
of Liscomb township. The farmer
alone is not the only one to be bene-
fitted by the demonstrations offered by
Mr.. Hauser and his assistants. They
are interesting even to the 1ayman,
providing he is intelligent and think
ing.
The corn is naturally the big feature
of the demonstrations, and the farmers
are shown certain provable facts III

that will benefit them thousands sof
