GONE TO HIS REST.
Mr.. z. NJ. Staples. a Worthy Citizen
OF this place, Passed Over the
Dark River Saturday Night.
FUNERAL SERVICES At PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The death of Mr.. z. M. Staples which
occurred at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Geo. F. Stults, last Saturday
night, about O'Clock, was not sur
prise to those who were acquainted
with his serious lllness. For several
weeks his condition was known to be
critical. and friends were told that his
end was only question of short time.
Mr. Staples, himself, was aware of his
condition, and told his children that he
could not recover. He was perfectly
reconclled to the inevitable and talked
of his separation from mis- loved ones
like one who was going to take a pleas
ant journey
The deceased was born and reared in
Adair county and from boyhood to old
age he enjoyed the confidence of the
people. He was strickly an honest
man in all his transaction; hence he had
many warm, personal friends.
When the civil war came he enlisted
in tne Federal army, Hobson's regi-
ment, and served in the same company
with Mr.. John r. Johnson, who died
last Tuesday night, making fearless
soldier, one who was at all times ready
for duty.
When quite a young man he
made profession of religion, united
with the Cumberland Presbyterian
church, and remained with that body
until the Union of the two Presbyterian
organize tions. He then joined the
Church at this place and in a short
time thereafter became Ruling Elder.
When the dissolution came Mr.
Staples was in his sixty-ninth year. He
died in perfect peace with mankind and
was ready and anxious to meet his God
Three children are left, Mrs. Geo. F.
Suits, Mrs. Gordon Montgomery and
DR.. j. G. Staples, who resides in Birm-
ingham, Ala. His two daughters were
with him and were constantly at his
bsdside and with loving hearts and ten
der hands administered unto him. The
son being in delicate health, could not
be present, though he was here two
weeks ago.
The funeral services were held in the
Presbyterian church Monday morning
at 10 o'clock, conducted by Revs. San
didge and Crawford, many relatives
and friends being present. AT the close
of the services all that was mortal of
this excellent citizen was conveyed to
the city cemetery and there deposited
by the side of his companion who died
about three years ago.
There were many floral designs
Peace to his memory, sympathy for the
surviving children and other relatives.

Mr. j. H. Judd, of this place, who
has been a DIVISION Deputy for the
Fifth kentucky Internal Revenue Dis
trict with headquarters at Lebanon, for
about eight years, was superseded last
week by Maj. R. A. Hancock, who was
temporarily appointed to the position.
The removal of Mr.. Judd was the act
of Mr. Ludlow Petty, the new Collector.
Mr.. Judd served under Mr.. Craft and
he made very efficient officer, doing
his work we'll, faithful to every trust,
and his Adair county friends would have
been glad if the new Collector had re-
commissioned him. He was popular
with all the force in the division, and
the men who were under him regretted
that Mr.. Petty did not re. appoint him.
Mr. Judd is under civil, servi e, and
will probably be given a subordinate
position if he desires to continue in the
revenue service.
Before retiring Mr.. Craft sent Mr.
Judd the following letter:
