Last But One Of the Ten
Stalwart Brothers
Gone.
ANTE BELLUM DAYSRECALLED
Judge N. D. Brown Seriously
III At His Home In Mad.
iSOnville.

Samuel M. Brown, the last but
one of the ten Brown brothers, died
in Fulton, KY. Wednesday. The re-
mains were brought here and inter-.
ed in Riverside Cemetery Thursday.
The deceased was in the 8Oth year
of his age. he was a native of
Christian county, but for some time
had made his home at Fulton with
his daughter, Mrs. j. E. Phipps. He
had been in failing health for several
months and had been confined to his
bed for about six weeks. His death
is attributed to the infirmities of old
age. He is survived by seven chill
dren, sister, Mrs. Sarah L. Cason,
of this city, and Judge M. D. Brown,
of Madisonvile.
Judge nj. D. Brown, the youngest
and only living one of the famous ten
Brown brothers. is lying at the point
of death at his home in Madisonville,
where he took up his residence when
he left Hopkinsvile six or eight
years ago.
The ten Brown brothers are well
remembered by our older citizens
and they will readily recall an incl
dent of the Christian county fair of
1859. The last day of the fair the
ten brothers entered the arena, each
in dress suit, wearing silk hats and
all mounted on white horses. The
Browns were ell fine riders, but they
did not enter the race that day to
compete for a prize. By previous
their mother, who had
borne fifteen children to their father,
who died in 1856, was present, and
was in the center of the exhibition
ring. After her ten sons had given
of their horsemanship
they formed semi-circle and lean
ing on the arm of the president of
the fair association, Mrs. Brown
stood before the sons. After a
glowing tribute to motherhood, the
president, in the presence of six or
eight thousand people, presented to
Mrs. Brown silver cup. The band
in the second story of the grand
stand struck up an appropriate air,
but it was drowned out by the con.
'inued cheers of the multitude. Mrs. !
Brown died in 1869.

THIRTY DAYS OF GRACE
He Declares Any Of Its Equip
ment Standing Dec. / Will Be
COnfscated by Railroad.

Louisville. KY, Aug. 9.-Legal
notice directing that the poles and
wires of the Western Union Tele.
graph Company be removed prompt
~ from the right of way of the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad
Company at the expiration this
month of contract entered into
twenty-five years ago, has just been
served upon the officials of the tele.
graph company by Milton H. Smith,
president of the railroad. Mr.. Smith
has notified the telegraph officials in
New York that the contract where
by the Western Union was allowed
the privilege of erecting poles and
wires over the entire Louisville &
Nashville system expires August IL.
Further, he serves notice that the
equipment must be taken down by
November /. Thirty days of grace
are allowed after that date; any E.
quipment standing by December l
will be confscated BY the Railroad
company.
Such was the mild tone of Mr..
Smiths legal notice. Whether the
instructions will be obeyed with a.
lacrity. or whether a legal clash wi |
be the outcome. remains to be seen.
AT all events, the opinion prevails in
local railroad circles that it will be
almost impossible for the telegraph
company to take down its equipment
in the short space of time allotted by
the railroad.
Charles Smith. no relation to the.
president of the railroad, but man
ager of the Western Union Tele.
graph Company, tonight estimated
that the Western Union owns about
$4,000 miles of poles and wires, en-
bracing the entire L. 81 N. system
and running through about ten
states. 1t is understood in addition
that the Western Union service will
not be seriously hampered by the d.
vorce proceedings with the railroad.
The telegraph company will reach all |
the points on the line of the Louis

the Cumberland and Southern BELL"
