Dean Ramsay could not countenance
profanity, but he managed to tell In
his "Reminiscences" some good stories
OF a weakness which afflicted many In
his time:
"a late Duke Of Athol had invited q
well known character, writer OF
Perth, to come up and meet him at
Dunkeld for tho transaction OF some
business. The duke mentioned the day
and hour when he should receive the
man OF law. who accordingly came
punctually at the appointed time and
place. But the duke had forgotten the
appointment and had gone to the hill,
from which no could not return for
some hours. A highlander present de
scribed the Perth writer's Indignation
and his mode OF showing 1t by most
elaborate course OF swearing. But
whom did he swear att was the In
curry made of the narrator, who re-
piled. oh, he didna sweer at onythihg
particular, but julst stude In ia middle
Of ia road and swoor Mt large ! have

shows how entirely at one period the

went up the steps, and he followed.

He tore open his long ulster and
threw or his hat.

He knelt down before her and put

like stiff little statue. She looked
down at the big head in her lap and
the big man kneeling before her who
asked her forgiveness and said he
loved her.
She lifted her hand and let 1t fall
upon his hair. He felt the touch and
looked up.
"Anna Jane" he said, "if you don't

Slow footsteps ereaked over the floor
of the next room. The door opened,
and Aunt Hulda, standing there, saw

enter upon their official duties.
After the above nominations we're
made, Mr.. Jno. B. Harvey, of Mad
isonville, put a motion before the
convention that the names Of Mr..
Waddill and Mr.. Henderson be nut
on the ballot under the Republican
device, the log cabin. The same
was carried after which the conven-
ton adjourned.
1t was common talk on the streets
in this city last night and this morn
ing that the Hon. Clifton ]. Waddill
was the cleanest that had been on
any ticket in this section in a long
time, there being no blemishes what
ever against him from his boyhood
days up tn the present time, while
the Hon. Carl Henderson is equally
as strong, the people having a high
regard for him for the noble and
fearless stand he has taken in their
behalf in the past.
Really, the two gentlemen are
sure winners and there Is no mistake
about that.

CITIZENS LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Louisville, KY, Sept. 16, 1909.
Bulletin No. 81.

Bulletin No. 81.
The total amount of stock sub.
scriptions received at the close Of
this bulletin is 81, DOB, $50.
The general impression about the
life insurance business is that every
body is insured. Some people even
wonder how a company is able to
write any more insurance.
AS matter of fact, statistics
show that eighty-seven out of every
one hundred insurable men in this
country do not carry any life insur-
ance at all. Eighty per cent of
those who die leave nothing; ninety
per cent leave less than $1,000. 90,
and only five per cent leave over
81, 600, 90.
The annual income Of the people
of this country from all sources is
alb out Fourteen Billion Dollars.
While only four per cent of this sum
is used to pay for all forms of life
insurance policies, yet about eighty
eight per cent of all the estates left
consist Of life insurance money. Not
more than fifty per cent Of our peo-
pie are crowned with ultimate bust
ness success. Ninety-fve per cent
meet with failure at one time or an.
orther, while ninety per cent
of those who reach the age of sixty.
five are dependent upon themselves
or others for support.
In the fifteen Southern States,
which pay out annually Ninety Mil
lion Dollars for life insurance prem
iums, only 5 n per cent Of insurabIe
lives are in fact insured, aud the
average for the United States is only
-. - per cent.
That mag nifcent field is open to
the Citizens National Life Insurance
Company. The treasure house from
which it will have to grow is practi-
cally limitless, and as rich as the
mines OF the tabled Golconda.
We have received hundreds of
letters since the publication of our
bulletins began but none of them has
hit the nail so squarely on the head
rs a letter received in today's mail.

Hon. Clifton J. WaddeII
For Circuit Judge
and Capt. Carl
Henderson
FOR COMMON
WEALTH ATTORNEY
Form Caldwell County
News

The Republicans of the Fourth
Judicial District met in convention
at Princeton on the 15., nominating
Hon. Clifton j. Waddill for Circuit
Judge and Capt. Carl Henderson, OF
Marion, for Commonwealth Attor-
ney.
The convention was said to have
been harmonious throughout, the
two nominations having been made
without opposition.
The convention was called to order
by Chairman, Jno. B, Harvey, OF
jacksonville. Hon. A. G. Moore,
of Marion, was made chairman Of
the convention and Hon. W. l.
Champion, of Smithland, was chosen
Secretary.
The large crowd seemed to be
waiting for something and did not
seem to be much interested in the
opening Of the convention, the ap-
pointing of committees or the COM
mittees reports. They were anx-
iously waiting for a more important
part, every one apparently having
their minds fully made up as to who
thoy wanted for their standard bear
ers for the Offices of Circuit Judge
and Commonwealth Attorney.
Finally Chairman Moore stated to
the convention that nominations were
in order for Circuit Judge. At once
the large crowd became all attention.
The Hon. Charles Ferguson, of
arose and was invited to
front by the chairman. In a very
appropriate and interesting talk, he
addressed the convention on the con.
ditions as they have existed through
out this section for some time past,
the same being familiar to every
voter in the district. He touched
upon the present jury system. the
one. sided condition of our circuit
court, and in fact how utterly i'm
possible 1t was to convict certain
class of lawlessness.
Finally Mr.. Ferguson mentioned
the name Of Hon. Clifton j, Naddill
as the one man to carry the party to
victory in the November election,
he one man who could give the peo-
pie of this district what they asked
ORA square deal, equal division on
uries and an honest court. 1t was
hen that the large crowd broke out
md cheer after cheer rent the air,
ind when Mr.. R. r. Morgan, IN be-
lalf of Caldwell county, seconded |
he motion, and the nomination was
made unanimously, yells for Waddill, |
Naddill could be heard on all sides.
The fact that the convention went so
Wild over the very mention of Mr..
Vaddell's name, should leave no
oubt as to the popularity aud high
steem which the people have for
hat gentleman throughout the dis
riot.
After the convention was again
estored to order, the Hon. Walter
|. Blackburn, of Marion, In a few
ell chosen remarks, placed the
anne of the Hon. Carl Henderson.
Marion, before the convention for
he Office of Commonwealth Attor-
ey. Again the convention went
lid, and after the same was Sec
nded by Mr.. Morgan. In behalf of
aldwell county, there being no
lrther nominations, the same was
ade unanimous.
The truth OF the matter is that
IT a long time past the people
lroughout this section have had
leir minds made up favoripg these
70 gentlemen, and all they ask for
,w is a chance to vote for them.
