There seems to be a diversity of o.

which of the "avowed" candidates
would be the best man. After a care.
full comparison of the men, IL strikes
the Courier that Champ Clark, of
Missouri, is the strongest and most
logical candidate. In short, he is a
broad minded. fearless, aggressive
man; a typical American possessing
both qualification and confidence of
the common people. II is to the par
tvs interest to nominate the man
who can poll the largest vote. That
man, we believe, is Champ Clark. His
positive strength In the National
Convention. at the present time, is
469. while he is gaining everywhere.
He is the second choice of practically
all the delegates elected who are in

the old desk at which his father sat
FOR 30 many years in the old Capitol
At Frankfort. and which was sent TO
him by the commissioners on the
completion and occupancy OF the new

While Mr. Corbett has never held
but one elective office. County Attor-
ney OF Ballard, he has been one OF
the most active Democrats. not only
In this district. but throughout the
State ever since. and before he be-
came OF age.
Not only this. but his services as
stump speaker have been so univer-
sally recognized that be has been
heard In nearly every county In the
State fighting the battles OF Demoo-

The following from the Galloway

when Mr.. Corbett was canyassing
that county In the interest OF the
Democratic ticket, will serve TO Illus

which he arouses in heated political
campaigns:

He has a number of appointments in
the county this week and those who
fail to hear him will miss treat, in
deed.
Jake Corbett is the son of the la
mented Tom II. Corbett, who, II we
mistake not, was in the days OF re-
construction a candidate for congress
In this district. Then the voters had
to march under a line of Republican
bayonets to the polls, and IL a voter
looked like a Democrat he received
the jab of the bayonet in the flshy
part OF his anatomy, Just beyant,
and put out of line. OF course, Col.
Corbett was defeated by the Republi-
can. And they would do the same
thing next Tuesday If they could.
I'VE guess Jake is familiar with
the history of the PROSTATE South
land, and the beacon fires made OF
Southern homes light his way to the
path OF duty. We mention these
things les. We forget. We are proud
to have such a Democrat with us

FOUND DEAD IN FIELD.

John Taylor, one OF the oldest citi
zens of this community. was found
dead in field In which he was plov
Ing Thursday afternoon about o.
clock.
Mr.. Taylor was blowing for and or
c. s. Patterson's place. 2Iz miles
southwest Of Hickman. At the noon
hour he ate a hearty dinner and went
back to his work about two O'Clock
He had started to pillow but had not
gone over 100 yards when the pillow
got stuck under a stump. He had
pulled his pillow out and set it in po-
siuon to go, when he suffered a IA
tai attack of appoplexy of the brain.
according to DIR. G. w. Curtin, who
made an examination of the body.
Indications were that he stepped ov-
er on the plowed ground and fell
backward, dying without a struggle.
Death occurred very shortly after he
reached the field, of course, but
nothing was known OF his death until
Mr.. Patterson noticed that he did not
return from his work at the usual
time. Going to the field, he found
the body near the pillow and the team
standing still. Many people passed
the road and saw both the team and
pillow idle. but little elevation be-
tween them and the road prevented
their seeing the body.
Mr.. Taylor was a well known man
OF this vicinity-in fact. he had
spent most of his 20 years here. He
is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Jno.
Williams, and a brother, Jas. z. Tay-
lor, OF Cairo. He had been married
three times. His last wife preceded
him to the grave about seven years.
At one time, Mr.. Taylor was man
Of means, but misfortune overlook
him, and he was never able to regain
his former prosperity. In one year
he lost a wife and three children. He
had too much pride to accept offers

them, and continued to live alone
and make" his own way. In every
respect, he was an honorable man. an
oft expressed his satisfaction In the
fact that he did not have an enemy
In the world. Our informant tells us
he thinks he was member OF the
Baptist church. but Is not cetain.
The remains were laid to rest al
Brownsville. Friday afternoon. after
brief funeral services by Rev. King
at the Brownsville church.
Mr.. Taylor was a quiet. unassuming
man, and such a character as is re-
ferred to in the following lines from
Gray:
Far from the maddening crowds ig-
noble strife,
The sober wishes never learned to
stray;
Along the cool. sequestered vale of
life
He kept the noiseless tenor of his
way"

The Drunkard's Funeral

His days were three score years and
seventeen. He lived; he suffered; he
labored; he sought to climb; he fell.
Death at last has claimed him for his
own. The bell is tolling. They are
taking him away.
The minister could speak no word
of comfort, and the three tall calm
faced daughters, the only heritage that
he has left, hid within their hearts the
awful hopelessness of their grief; but
the small bent figure of the wife who
loved him shook with anguish ire
pressible.
The lesson of his life was echoed in
the text: $50 teach us to number our
days, that we may apply our hearts
unto wisdom" There were not many
in the church-only few old neigh
bors; a child, white-lipped with his
first sight of death; man or two who
had tipped the social glass in many
jovial bout; young girl to whose
mind, glowing with light and health,
the solemn service seemed a gruesome
thing. The casket, heaped with flow
ers was pitiful, as though in vain at
tempt they sought to hide the faults
and failings that had wrecked the life
within.
Who knows to what the failure of
his life was due? Will parents, long
since dead, be held accountable for
this mans fall? Did some wilful
youth in his ancestral line acquire and
leave to him the deadly appetite that
dragged him down? To me a voice
is speaking: "Why did we let him
die? Why saved we not the life for
whom I gave my OWN" Shall I go
forth to bear the message of a living
Christ? Or shall I. think these
thoughts and then go back into the
daily round until another time God
speaks in falling clods upon a coffin
or in grief-crushed hearts of mourn
ers whose love knows neither COM
fort, hope, nor faith?-E. L. S., in the
