CARPENTER. MIR. George l.. Carpen-
ter, one of the best christian gentle
men who has lived in Lincoln county in
years, died at the home Of his father,
Mr.. A. W. Carpenter. at $3.50 Tuesday
evening after lingering illness of a
complication of troubles. He died on
the 35th anniversary Of his birth and
we don't suppose that there was ever
a young man more willing nor better
prepared to meet his God. Joining the
Christian church at Hustonville when q
mere boy he followed the teachings Of
that church and so lived that he would
be ready when the final summons came.
Mr.. Carpenter was in business in Stan
ford for quite while and he made
friends here who sorrow at his untime-
ly death. He was a scrupulously honest,
conscientious business man and It was
a pleasure TO deal with him. The writ
err had known him for many years and
unhesitatingly says he never knew a

graduate Of Kentucky University. at
Lexington, and was an unusually well
posted. well read young man. He is
survived by his father, Mr.. Adam W.
Carpenter. stepmother and several
h ,lf brothers and sisters. His mother,
who was a Miss Cloyd, died many years
ago but he loved his stepmother with
the devotion of a true child. while for
his half brothers and sisters he showed
great devotion. They all miss the
splendid son and brother and in their
sad hour unbounded sympathy goes out
to them. A large number Of friends
and relatives attended the funeral at
the home at 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon and followed the remains TO their
last resting place in Buffalo cemetery.
Reys. w. S. Willis. Of Hustonville. and
II. C. Garrison. Of Danville. conducted
the funeral services.

SPEAKS TO FRIENDS AT HOME
AND PREDICTS REFORM
AND PROSPERITY.

Cincinnati, O., Feb. 20.-Addressing
the members of the chamber of COM
merce, in what was really a farewell
to his home city before being inaugu-
rated president, Judge Taft spoke
about his personal friendships here
and of business affairs. At the pres
ent time, he said, deficit of hun
bred million dollars confronted those
responsible for the government. That
he believed not to be serious stu
alton, and as an encouraging sign he
spoke of the stagnation of business
due to the universal inclination to
