OLD ROANOKE RED.
a Lay Of the Mecklenburg Hunt.

And half Of his story will never be told.
His cubs ut home he does not neglect,
And the stories he tells them are worthy
respect.
The nights are long and he has his va

How once, as he counted, he absently

He was thinking my children, as doubt

OF buying some old hound to sic after

Now all sit still, and don't be rude,
And | viii tell you of Mr.. Goodc.
He lives in town, not far away,
Situated On u red bank Of clay.
The Boydton people think it's very NICE
Quite little corner of Paradise
He likes horse races, and is very lucky,
But his latest fad Is dogs from Kentucky.

Goebel contested the election, and at

A peculiar feature Of the case is that

PEOPLE OF THE DAY


The advent of former Governors
Frank S. Black Of New York and Rich.
ard Yates of Illinois as counsel for Ca.
leb Powers, former secretary of state
of Kentucky, gives renewed interest to
a case already celebrated. The charge
against Powers is conspiracy before
the fact to murder William Goebel
governor Of Kentucky, who was shot
to death In the statehouse yard at
Frankfort in January, 1900.
Powers has been in Jail for more than
five years and has three times been
tried, convicted and sentenced. Twice
he was condemned to life imprison
