About IL o'clock, on Thursday
night Mr. John 7. Hockensmith, who
resides on the Peaks Mill pike, some
five miles from the city, passed away,
at his home, aged about IS years, from
acute heart failure.
Mr.. Hockensmith was one of the
most upright, genial and loveable
gentleman it has ever been our good
fortune to know.
For many years he was an assist
ant keeper of the Penitentiary under
the old regime.
He was eminently a just man
square and true-in all his dealings
with his fellowmen and despised
doubledealing and deceit.
He was warm-hearted and generous
to a fault. Full of fun and geniality
he was universally popular wherever
known.
After his retirement from the posi-
tiOn he held so long at the Prison, he
removed to his farm and was happily
situated.
He leaves a wife. four sons (Taylor

OF warmly attached friends to mourn
his sudden demise,
He was only sick a few hours and
passed quickly away.
We were closely associated with this
fine old Kentucky gentleman for years
and loved him devotedly.
To his sorely stricken family we
tender our sincerest sympathy.
The funeral arrangements had moi
been made at the hour we write.

and several other ladies had been pre-
viously sent to the city of Mexico to
purchase.
The rubber from the Mexican tree
it not so good as that from the
genuine rubber tree, being harder and
not so elastic, but, as the supply of
rubber in the world is getting scarce,
it makes a good and desirable substi-
tute.
The company is preparing to estab-
lish a plant in Congo, Africa, and Miss
Innes has been solicited to go to that
country and accept a prominent and
remunerative position in connection
with the new industry. She has not
yet decided as to the matter of ac-
ceptance.
Miss Hannah Innes has many
friends in this county, and will be re.
membered as stenographer under At
torney General Hendrick. Later she
was employed by the War Depart
ment, with headquarters at Havana,
Cuba, during the Spanish-American
war. Just before going to Mexico

Cooper Dry Goods House, of New

If the failure to keep the city pave
ments and streets in fair, traversable
condition costs the city, in one in
stance one thousand dollars, would it
not be well for the Street Committee
to at once look after other irregu-

equally costly. There are several
ugly places in our knowledge that
need attention.

stole second and scored on Goudy's
hit. Goudy scored on an error by
