FORTY SEVEN YEARS OF AGE.

The funeral of Mr.. Milt Smith will be
held this afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock from

in the West End. The services will be
conducted by the Rev. James 7. Lewis
after which the nterment will take
place in the Cloverport cemetery.
Mr., Smith died yesterday morning at
o'clock. His death was unexpected
and caused from complication of dis
eases. Friends of the family were with
him during the moments of his critical
suffering and kindly ministered to him
until the end came.
Although Mr.. Smith had been here
but four or FIVE years, he was a highly
and we'll thought of citizen. He held a
position at the Henderson Route shops
and all his co-workers speak of him in
terms of love and regard. He was born
in Hardin county in 1862. He married
Mrs. Lucy PAuley; to this union no
children we're born. In speaking of Mr..
Smith, Mrs Smith said, He was
loving and good to my children. During
the seventeen years Of our married life
he made us all very happy" The de-
ceased was a member of the Baptist
church.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tillman Pauley of Mat
toon, ILL.,, and Mr.. Tom Pauley are with
their mother in her bereavement. Mr..
John PauleY, of Greensboro, Jas. Smith
and Mrs. Pierce, brother and sister of
the deceased, are here to attend the
funeral. Mrs. Susan Smith, of Hop.
kinsville, is also sister of Mr.. Smith.

BIG CROP.
More Ground PlUwed For To-
baCCO Than Ever Before
Known.

All over the white hurley tobacco
growing district preparations are be-
ing made by the farmers to raise the
largest crop Of tobacco this year that
has ever been seen in this section.
More ground has been plowed than
formerly and in every direction
throughout the district can be seen
hundreds of acres of ground that have
already been prepared to receive the
plants, and beds for raising the plants
have been prepared in large numbers.
Farmers aim to SOW the tobacco seed
during the month of February. There
is general satisfaction with the So
ciety of Equity throughout the hurley
district, and it is believed that with
few exceptions here and there the
hurley tobacco crop of 1909 will be
pooled by the farmers. A large per-
centage OF the pooled tobacco in many
counties has been inspected and is in
process of delivery. All over this
section there is a movement to better
organize the farmers in the Society
of Equity, and it is believed in the
course of short time they will be
pooling the wool, corn, wheat and
many other products of the farm.

A Gentleman from
Mississippi.

Is a story of an epoch making
battle of right against wrong of
honesty against corruption, of
simplicity and sincerity against
deceit, bribery and and intrigue.
1t is the story of today in this
country. 1t vitality concerns
every man, woman and child in
the United States, so far reaching
is it's influences.
The warfare is now going on
the warfare of honest men against
corrupt political machines.
The story tells the 'inside" of
the political maneuvers in Wash
ington and of the workings of
bosses there and elsewhere-how
they shape men and women to
their ends, how their cunning in
trigues extend into the very social
life of the nations capital. You
will find inspiration in the career
of the honest old Southern plant
err elected to the United States
Senate and the young newspaper
reporter who becomes his private
secretary and political pilot.
Your heart will beat in sympathy
with the love of the secretary and
the Senator's youngest daughter.
You will read of the lobbyists
and find that not all of them are
men. You will see how avarice
causes a daughter to conspire
against father. You will hear
the note of a gripping national
tragedy in the words of Peabody,
the "boss of the Senate" But
cause for laughter as well will
not be found lacking in this truly
many sided narrative.
Are you reading tins story now
running in this papere If not
you are missing the story of your
life 1t is interesting from start
TO finish. Read 1t.
