Capt. Spears Funeral.

Y The funeral of Capt.sE. F. Spears
was largely attended Saturday morn
ing by relatives, friends and ex-Con-
federate soldiers. In the absence of
Rev. DR.. E. H. Rutherford of whose
church Capt. Spears was an Elder, the
services were conducted by Elder
Carey E. Morgan.
The floral tributes were the hand
soonest ever seen at a funeral in this
city, yet but feebly showing the high
esteem in which Capt. Spears was held
by the people of this community.
One of the handsomest floral designs
was a beautiful pillow, sent by Mrs.
General Williams, who was formerly
Mrs. Hamilton, of this county. The
pillow was made of red and white
roses and lilies of the valley. The
general background was pure white.
In the center was solid white sec
ton which had across it in small red
roses the letters, III. Co." standing
for Hamilton Guards, the first company
organized in Bourbon county The
company was equipped and furnished
by Mrs. Hamilton, and was called the
Hamilton Guards throughout the war.
The company was part of the Or
phans' Brigade and Captain Spears
was q member.

county fair begins to-day at the bean
tiful grounds, near Paris, under most
fattering prospects, and will continue
for FIVE days.
No finer exhibition of stock of every
description will be seen in Kentucky
this year than will be seen at tie
Bourbon Fair. The officers have
put forth every effort to make the
1907 fair one of the banner fairs held
in kentucky.
New stables have been erected to
accommodate the increased demand for
live stock exhibitors and everything
points to a most successful fair in
every particular.
A frst-class carnival company is on
the grounds and the grounds will be
brilliantly lighted with electric lights
at night for the public to take in the
midway. This will be one of the new
enjoyable features this year.
Let our people attend every day and
by encouraging the management so
that the Old Bourbon Fair may soon
take its rightful place at the head of
all Kentucky fairs.
