SuCCOmbS to a Long Illness of
Bright's Disease at His Home
On Vim Street, Aged
IS Years.

On last Tuesday night the Death
Angel claimed the soul of our fell
low-townsman, Mr.. George w.
Berkeley and departing took it to
his Master, who gave it life,
Mr.. Berkeley was native of this
county and had spent all the years
of his long life in our community.
He was IS years of age and for
nearly 80 years had been a devout
member of the Methodist church
Mr.. Berkeley was man among
men and his life was always one of
the highest character. A better,
truer and more willing friend a
man never had than George w.
Berkeley. He was always kind,
loving and effectionate husband
and father and through the long
years of suffering he always bore
his pain without a murmur, be-
lieving that it was his Masters
will.
He is survived by his wife and
one daughter, Miss Nancye Berk-
ley, who have the sympathy OF
this entire community in the loss
of their loved one. The funeral,
with services conducted by Rev.
B. =. Horton was held at the
Methodist Church Friday morn
inc at 10 o'clock, and burial in
Machpelah cemetery.

Though now you turn your face away,
With never word for me or n,i9e,
Nor smile forever and day,

In what has come to you--the need,
Beyond the search of mortal voice,
And only in the song, indeed,
With you forever, as the song.

Early County History.

We are indebted to Mr.. Robert
Cav, for the following article:
I'm November, 1898, the Ken
lucky Legislature passed an act
requiring every white male over
sixteen to kill certain number of
crows and squirrels each year.
In 1912, a law was passed allow
ing a compensation of 81 for kill
ing wolves under six months old,
and $l.5O for those over six
months old. When the head was
shown the age must have been as
certained by an examination of
the teeth.
In 1925 Henry Clay was burned
in efiigy in several places for vot-
ing for John Quincy Adams for
President, instead of for Andrew
Jackson.
In MAY, 1888, Benjamin R,
Prichard, of Montgomery county,
left his home in search of a physi-
clan who could relieve him of su-
perabundant flesh. He was forty
two years old and weighed 4S3
pounds
In November, 1886, DR.. Benja-
min w. Dudley, of Lexington, re-
stored to sight a young man 81
years of age, who had been blind
from his birth with cataract.
In January, 1899, the County
Court of Lewis county prohibited
the sale of whiskey by groggeries
at a greater price than two cents
for half pint. 1t is said that
many men abandoned the business
as Improbable.
In August, 1850. the Elizabeth
town Register recorded the finding
in Hardin county of the thigh
bone of a human being, which
measured in cubic inches six times
the size of the thigh bone of an
ordinary man. The height of that
man would have been twelve or
thirteen feet. In the same year
Andrew Brand, "the Kentucky
Fat Boy" died at Albany, New
York. He was sixteen years old
and weighed 537 pounds.
In January, 1855, the current
value of slaves was shown by sew
eral sales which took place in
Clark and neighboring counties.
The prices ranged from 81, 0l5 to
to 81 sos.
In February, 1855, there was on
exhibition in Louisville the largest
horse then in tie world. He was
twenty hands high, and was de.
scribed as a horse of ''extraordi-
nary grandeur and majesty of
proportion and appearance"
During March, 1885. several
families in Clark county lost cattle
by starvation. Others sold their
cattle at half what they cost two
years before. This was caused by
the scarcity of corn, resulting
from the great drouth Of 1854"
There will be other articles in
our next issue of the same nature
IS the above.
