There were forty-eight in number.

Last week, while representative of
this paper was in Campbellsville, he
had the pleasure of meeting and pass
ing few words with Mr.. Joseph HI.
Chandler, who in his prime, was the
most influential citizen of Taylor coun-
ty He is now an old man. perhaps
eighty-two years of age, and time is
telling upon his constitution. but his
mind is active, and he is entertaining at
his advanced age. When the writer
first knew him he was in the State Sc
nate, and was a leader on the floor. He
was ready debator, the peer of any
man in the Senate. He never spoke to
make noise, but to make points, and
when it was Necessary to be sarcastic
his sarcasm was piercing, and his oppo-
nents were always glad when time was
up. While in Frankfort he returned
home every few weeks to see his fam
lily, and when the yeomany learned that
he was in town they came in great num-
bers to see HIM. His word was his
bond and his opinions were relied upon
by neighbors and friends. 1t is a pity
that in this busy world the weight of
so many years prevents Joseph H. Chan
die from again being in the front ranks,
occupying an honorable position, hold
ing up the banner of DEMOCRACY.

Surprise Birthday Dinner.

Mrs. Henrietta Hancock, widow of
w. A. Hancock, was agreeably sur
prised on the ninth inst, by her rela-
tives and friends who gathered in on
that beautiful Sunday morning with
baskets filled with the best that the

the very best. Mrs. Hancock was a
daughter of Mr.. John Tupman, who at
one time was elected as Representative
from this county, and on his way to the
capital he took sick at Lebanon and had
to return home. He died shortly after.
Mr.. Tupman lived and reared his fam
lily on Disappointment where Mrs. Sal
lie Smith now lives.
Mrs. Hancock has lived to witness
four generations, representing ten of
her own children, twenty-four grand
children and one great -grand-child. In
spite of her years, Mrs. Hancock still
displays wonderful vigor of mind and
body, and unlike many persons of adj
vanced age, she keeps abreast of the
times by being well informed upon all
current events. Those that partook of
the dinner were as follows:
D. G. Cundiff and wife, of Terre
Haute, Ind.
A. c. Wheeler and family,
John Arnold and family,
j. W. Arnold and family,
Mrs. G. R. Feese and family,

In appointing Mr.. w. A. Coffey Mas
ter Commissioner, for Adair County,
we feel that Judge Carter has not made
a mistake. Mr. Coffey is well-fitted for
the duties of the office and will be faith
full to every trust. Mr.. H. T. Baker,
who has filled this Office for the last
six years gave it the necessary atten-
ton and there is no fault to find. He
made good man for the place and his
uccessor will doubtless do the same.
Mr.. ]. o. Russell W as re-appointed
Trustee of the Jury Fund and Judge
Carter again acted wisely.
