The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1909-06-16

A total eclipse of the sun is sched-
uled to occur on Thursday, June II,
visible in all portions CT the United
States, except in the extreme south
ern. The eclipse viii begin In this
section at about Clio in the evening
and will continue until after sunset.
At the time of the. disappearance of
Old Sol the moon will obscure about
one-half OF its area.
The last total eclipse of the sun
was viewed here shortly after the
close of the civil war. or to be exact,
in 1869. The eclipse will be remem-
bered by many people who yet speak
of tn queer experience and II is an
event which yet figures largely in the
folklore Of the southland.
The last total eclipse of the sun
darkened the south central states Of
America, and many are the incidents
which are recalled.
The south during the later years Of
the sixties. was poverty stricken from
the ravages of war, and when dark
ness enveloped the land a. aoonday
the people of the ignorant classes.
Especially Of the freed slaves we're
cowed by the effect of the phenomena
and fell to the earth in prayer, think
ing the eve of terrible calamity was
upon them. Chickens went to roose
and cocks crowed. Bats and owls
and other fowl which fly by night APP
peared and candles and lamps were
lighted in the dwellings.
The eclipse predicted ;or June II
is to be total and will be a reproduce
ton of the one in 1869. The occasion
will, afford a rare experience for resi-
dents OF Illinois and all who ever
witnessed a total eclipse Of the sun
state that they can never forget It.
