To the memory Of Bro. James

Zion Hill Lodge No. 81 7. and A.
NJ, Weston, Ky, and who departed
this life February Is, 1908.
We have all sadly learned the fact
tina, it matters not il every hour of
lite is rich with love, and every feet
ing moment is superbly jeweled with
JOY, at last We all must meet the
grim monster, death, and by him be
ushered on to the unknown beyond.
Such is heavens decree, and to
which all must submit.
So it was with Bro. Travis, when
be had lived a life Of ninety-two
years and a Master Mason sixty
eight years, and member of the
church for sevepty.two years. He
was honest, upright in his dealings,
q kind father, and exemplary hus-
band Resolved;
First-That this lodge has lost
one Of Its true and faithful members,
the church a consistent member, and
the community an upright citizen.
Second-That we extend to his
bereaved ones our kindest sympathy
in their sorrow.
Third-That a page Of the records
Of this Lodge be set apart in mem
DRY Of him and copy Of these reso-
lutions be spread thereon, copy sent
to his family, and that they be pub
lished in the Masonic Home journal
and the CRITTENDEN RECoRD-PREss.
Fourth--That the craft wear the
usual badge of mourning for thirty
days. II. l., FLANARY,

Editor NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. .
few lines 10 your paper to my friends
and relatives in Crittenden and Liv.
ingston counties. When I left Ken
lucky some seven or eight years ago
some Of my friends requested me to
write the Press a letter when l got
settled.
will now take the pleasure to
inform them that l am located 100
miles West of Kansas City, on q
branch of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railroad in the Sunfower
State forty miles from the center
stone Of the United States at Fort
Riley, Kansas.
Kansas is . very good country to
live in, but the chickens ruost too
high for a poor man here. Land is
worth from $50 to 1850 per acre
here in Kansas.
am engaged in farming. The
principal crops are corn, wheat. al
falfa, cane, potatoes and all kinds of
fruit. We have . very good market
at present. Corn is worth 30 cents
per bushel, wheat SO cents, cane seed
80 cents, wild hay IS per ton, alfal-
ia 80, milIet seed Is cents, hogs 4
cents per pound, cattle 5 cents,
chickens IS per dozen and l haven't
any to sell.
Kansas ten or fifteen years ago
was a grand country for a poor man.
If he had come to Kansas then and
used energy no doubt but what he
would have been we'll fixed now.
Land has advanced in price rapidly
for the last few years. Rent here is
getting higher every year all though
a good renter here can make some
mony yet, but could do much better
in some other good farming country
where rent is not so high.
The hog and chicken raising is
getting to be very paying business
in the West most everywhere.

ness for poor man in this country,
as it don't require very large capt.

My advice to a man with small
means is to 60 Southwest to Texas

judgmen: and economy for a few
years and you will soon have a farm
for yourself. l aim to 60 there N.Y.

sion with the aid of four Democratic
votes, Senator II. S. McNutt and
Senator A. II. Charlton, Of Louis
vile, and Representative Chris
Mueller, Of Louisville, and Repre-
sentative +. W. Lillard, Of Boyle
county. He received sixty-four
votes, Just enough to elect.
Speaker Gooch named Senator
Oliver and Combs and Representa-
tives Sawyer A. Smith and j. W.
Porter, . committee TO escort Gov.
Bradley to the Speakers stand
Gov. Bradley was greeted with
loud cheering. He was introduced
by Senator Oliver, of Allen county,
as the Greatest Republican who ever
appeared before an audience of Ken
lucky.
Gov. Bradley returned his pro-
found thanks to Speaker Gooch for
his impartial and fair rulings. He
thanked the Republicans for the
way they had stood by him and also
the Democrats who supported him.
He said he would never forget them.
He said he had no hard feelings
against those who voted against him
as they did what they believed was
right. He promised that he would
give his best efforts for Kentucky in
the United States Senate.
He pledged himself to do his best

ly cheered. He said he had never
been q partisan, and claimed to be a
fair, square man, and expected to be
the Senator Of the whole people Of
Kentucky, and would do everything
in his power to protect their inter
ests. He said he yielded to no man
in his love for Kentucky, and would
defend any aspersions on her fair
name. He said he could not express
his gratitude on being elected, and
advised that all chickering's be set
aside in the interest Of the welfare,
honor and prosperity Of the State.
Speaker Gooch appointed the same
committee to invite Gov. Beckham,
the defeated candidate to address the
General Assembly. The committee
reported that they were unable to
locate Gov. Beckham.
The Beckham people we're CON-
pletely outwitted in the making of a
quorum of the Senator'S present, it
being necessary to have twenty Sen
ators present in order to make the
joint session legal. When the Sen

ton, as had been his custom, voted
for j. Wheeler Campbell, but when
Senator Maxwell, the seventeenth CD
