Rockport, KY, March I.-Ambrcse
Aubrey, Mrs. J. Aubrey and Miss Mel
lie Aubrey were drowned today when
their canoe was swept over Height
Falls in Green river, near here.
The bodies of the victims were re-
covered soon afterwards in a peculiar
manner. Acting upon the advice of a
travelling clairvoyant, the friends of
the victims procured complete set of
wearing apparel belonging to each and
cast them III the water near the place
where the trio went down.
A party in a gasoline launch followed
the clothing, which rushed rapidly down
stream. When a mile from the scene
the clothing stopped, whirled around
several times and started toward a
group of willows and driftwood, as if
drawn by a magnet. The unseen power
drew the clothing to different parts of
the driftwood, and at each point where
the clothing stopped, there the dead bodies
Of their owners were found.

he confederate crosses of honor, worn
these days by the confederate veterans on
the lappels of their coats, are badges of
honor and distinction. They attract the

and real friendly feeling among old
veterans of the war as they meet on the
road, or at public gatherings-even if they
be strangers to each others at the first It

We saw picture representing lot OF
comets passing along in their respective
orbits, and at some periods or their re-
spectiye flights they whirE clear around
the sun, their tails. away from the sun.
The paths of these, comets are more less
elliptical in form. Some orbits are smaller
than others. Some comets visit the sun at
shorter intervals than others. But
can the reader conceive time and
space when he learns that Hal
ley's comet takes 81 IL years to go from
the sun at the rate of millions of miles
an hour, and then take another 81 IL
wears to come back to the sun at he same
awful rate? Who wonders, then, that it
takes an Almighty power to control the
vast wonders of the vast space? VINO
can doubt that God can catch fleeing
soul anywhere, and bring it back to judg-
rnent? Psalms 13o, 9th verse: "Such
knowledge is too wonderful for me; it
is high; l cannot attain unto it."

Did Lieut-G Manship, in introduce
ing Leroy Percy to the caucus for speech
after his nomination, as Percy Leroy, mean
"Percy LIE Roi?" That is French for
"Percy the King" or, percy the Chief. .
But anyway, Percy was king of his own
will when two years ago he was offered
thousands of dollars to go before the 1908
legislature and fight the prohibition bill.
But he fatty declined. 1t is said of him
that several years ago he was offered, by
two men who had hand in a dastardly
murder, a large fee to defend them before
the courts. He flatly declined to do so,
but assisted the prosecution, and the two
were convicted and condemned to the gall
lows. May he prove himself worthy to
succeed such man as A. J. McLaurin
was in his life-a man of the masses who
loved him and will honor his memory for
centuries to come.

Prof. w. N Taylor, principal of the
Stems Creek High school at Florence,
leaves us after this session. His contract
with the school association carries him
through one more session after this. But
having received flattering offer from
the school people of his former home, as
well as the home of his good lady, and
his fine residence here being destroyed by
fire, through a defective flue, he asked
the school association to meet last Friday
to consider any statement he wished to
offer them. He asked to be relieved from
his contract at close of the present session.
Considering all the circumstances none
felt disposed to say him nay, and besides,
this matter was not intended to be brought
up by him for over month ahead But
a Memphis paper had published the fact
that the school at Kilmichael, his old
home, had elected him for the next session; ;
and when that paper reached here and
was read parties might try to make the
incident detrimental to the professors work
and influence here. So he thought it best
to let the association fully understand the
situation-and lay nothing to his charge
if any were SO disposed in this matter.
The patronage and the other good people
of this community preferred to keep the
professor here, were sorry to give him up !;
but urder all the circumstances, no one
was heartless enough to want to hold
him to his contract. The present session
terminates in May with proper exercises
