Monday morning Mrs. Lucretia Hen
sley received a cablegram from China
telling of the death of her daughter,
Miss Eula Hensley.
She had been in the foreign field in
the service of missionary work for the
Baptist denomination one year. Her
age was just twenty-five years.
Just before her departure abroad, Miss
Hensley made brief visit here and de =
livered a short address at the Baptist
church. What she said WAS deeply i'm
pressed upon the minds and hearts of
those who heard her, and it is with
keen regret that Cloverport received the
sad news.

"MOTHER'S GONE"

Norman, Mr. and Mrs. Julius Sipple,
Miss Eva Midlothian, Mrs. Morris
Beard, Mrs. Percy Beard, Mrs. John
Kincheloe, George Younger, Miss Sal
lie Younger and Miss Kate Jackson.
Through confusion of kilograms Mrs.
Younger's brother, Mr.. Owen Brashear.
Of Shreveport, La, did not receive the
sad news until Sunday morning which
was too late to get here for the funeral.
Mrs. Younger, before her marriage to
Mr.. James S. Younger, of this city,
was Miss Sue Avitt Breshear. The
wedding took place June 1, l904. Her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Brashear,
fell into the good hands of her uncle
and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. G. M. McGloth-
Ian. Mrs. Younger was thirty-one
years Of age. Besides the infant child,
she leaves another little girl, Eu fora
Mcclellan, who will live with her
father and grandmother. Mr. and Mrs.
McGlotblan have taken the baby to
rear. For week the precious little
babe was tenderly fostered by Mrs. Joe
Sawyer, who was always so sweet to the
mother as a neighbor and friend.
Mrs. Younger's life can be summed
ZIP in the word, Christian. She was not
only member of the Christian church
but she lived its teachings, Like every
one, she had friends who were blinded
10 the true light of her SOUL they heat-
ed her harshly, but when the end came,
it was harder for them than for her,
because she was forgiving notwithstand-
ing her heart was crushed. However,
greater was the number of those who
loved her dearly, comforted her in her
disappointments and rejoiced with her
in her pleasures. To them her life was
wonderful blessing and cherished in
gratefulness will it be as the days go by.
Just little while, in the still hour OF
the morning, before death came, Mrs.
Younger was asked if she was ready to
die, and she answered, IF it is the
Lords WILL" She called for her chill
dren and husband. The sight was
heart-rending to friends at the bedside,
for they realized what dear little Eudors
says, "Mother's gone.

Judge Ahl's Friends.

Judge VIM. Ali has no moral right to
ask any of his many friends who stood
by him for the nomination for County
Judge to support the Republican
county ticket. We know Judge Ali to
be every inch man and we do not be-

He and his friends know he was treated

outrage for personal reasons, still he
cannot ask his friends to do so.

At a Joint meeting of the County
High School Board and the City Board
of Education held Monday morning
in the office of County Superintendent
Graham, plans were put under way for
the establishment of a County High
school.
1t is proposed for the County High
school to be under management OF the
CITY and to be located in the Athe-
naeum Building. The present faculty
will be retained, and it is probable
that one or two additional teachers
will be employed. In fact, there VIII
be little change in the present system,
about the only difference being that
the county students will be admitted
free, whereas they are at present re-
quired to pay tuition.
The plans agreed on this morning
are subject to confirmation by the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen, and
will come up at the regular meeting
or at called meeting. 1t is believed
that they will be ratified. 1t Is

FLAMES.

Two buildings burning at once. This
was the rather unusual spectacle wit
messed last week by residents Of the
Lasea neighborhOod, when the barn
Of Zach Hardison and the residence Of
Pleas Holcomb caught fire simultan-
eously. The two buildings were less
than one-quarter of a mile apart. The
loss to the Hardison barn was about
$4,000 with no insurance, and to the
Holcomb residence $500, with some
insurance. At the time his barn
caught FIRE Mr.. Hardison was throw
ing corn into the crib, when the blaze
broke out in the loft. No cause for
the confagration is known.

HARRIS PURYEAR
WITHDRAWS FROM
RACE FOR TRUSTEE
ANNOUNCEMENT COMES LIKE =
BoLT FROM THE CLEAR
BLUE SKY.
BAD HEAL H IS GIVES AS CAUSE
Unable to stand The Physical Strain
Incident to a Canvass Of the coun-
ty in Mid-Winter-Loyalty to His
Chief, Trustee Thomas.

The first bomb in the county con-
test exploded Monday when Harris
Puryear. the popular Deputy Trustee,
withdrew from the race for Trustee.
This announcement will be a genuine
surprise to the Democrats of the coun-
" as it was altogether unexpected. 1t
| is also calculated to upset the dope"
that the knowing ones had been dish
inc out with reference to the Trus-
! tees race. 1t is conceded that Harris
Puryear would make a very strong
race, in fact. no well informed poll
/ tician left him out of the calculations
in figuring on the probable outcome OF
this race. He has friends all over the
county and his withdrawal is going to
cause some very radical realignments
in the contest for the honor and emol-
uments that appertain to the JOB OF
handling the tax payers coin.
Mr.. Puryear's health is not. good and
he finds that he will not be able to
make the campaign which he feels
should be made. That is the reason
for his decision to quit the contest.
Another consideration that induced
him to this decision is his loyalty to
his employer the Trustee, Elem Thorn
as. To make the canvass it would
be necessary for Mr.. Puryear to be
out of the office all during the month
Of January. the busiest period with
the Trustee. This would have beer
a great inconvenience to Mr.. Thomas
Mr.. Puryear issued the following
statement:
