"Joseph Sampson, 80, Suffers Seri.
Gus Injuries While Sitting on

"Barbourville, KY, Aug. 10
Joseph Sampson, aged 80. was shot
in the leg here this morning and
seriously wounded. The shot was
fired from a twenty-five pistol by
some unknow n person about s
O'Clock while Sampson was seated
on the porch at his home The ball

tain section OF Kentucky and her
people readily imagined a cowardly
assassin creeping cautiously up be
meath the underbrush until within
range, taking deliberate aim and
shooting his victim unaware.
The Louisville papers are always
glad to pay for anything dealing
with the sensational, when written
from the mountains and this oftimes
prompts correspondents 10 magnify
aud enlarge upon little incidents
that would otherwise go unnoticed.
The facts are that Uncle" oe
Sampson, one of the best citizens OF
Barbourville and Knox County and
probably without an enemy in the
world was accidentally shot in the
leg last Sunday morning week ago
by some miscreant who no doubt
fired at a target or bird and the
bullet accidentally hit Mr.. Sampson
while seated on his porch.
There is nothing whatever to in
dictate that the ball was fired from a
% caliber pistol rather than a %
caliber rifle, and as to being shot
from ambush-boeh In the first
place there is no ambush near his
residence and he lives within the
city limits and within a stones
throw OF a number of neighbour,
Oh what's the use saying anything

resentation on the face of it. We dc

slur upon the good people of The

Two Great Senators.

Joe Shannon, eX- chairman of the
Missouri Democratic state commit
tee, and who is favorably mention
ed as the probable appointee for the
Kansas City postmastership, pays
Senators Reed and Stone these
compliments:
Senator Stone is looked upon as
the mentor of the upper house of
congress because of his long, con-
tinuous years of service" said Mr..
Shannon, and he is frequently con-
suited by his associates. | do not
assume to be claiming too much
when l say that Stone is the leader
of the senate, not by resolution or
assignment. but leader because of
his ability, his force and his knowl-
edge of all matters pertaining to
national legislation and affairs. In
tariff legislation he is the peer, and
when he discusses economics and
matters relating to the tariff he
commands the attention and re-
Spect of his fellow senators.
Senator Reed has established
himself most graciously with his
associates in the senate and by the
ability he is displaying in the Null
hall investigation is causing favor
able comment. am not eXagger-
ating when l say it has been years
since Missouri has been so ably
represented in the senate, and if
Missouri does not get all that is
coming to her it will not be the
fault of Senators Stone and Reed
They are in complete harmony
What one favors the other heartily
seconds, and they fight as one. This
is an unusual condition.
1T is seldom two senators from
the same state work in perfect &C
cord, this sometimes being due to
political conditions or personal af-
fairs. Milan Standard.

Rev. Grove Quits Ministry.

Rev. Grove, of Salisbury, who
leaves the ministry and also the M.
E. Church at Salisbury after four
years of service there; frankly gives
his reasons therefore says Charlton
Courier. He says his wife's health
is one consideration and he goes to
the mountain country in Arkansas
for that Another thing is that he
does not make enough money in
the ministry to live. Therefore he
is going into the real estate business
where he expects to make more
money and to make it honestly and
according to the Golden Rule. He
says some people think that man
cannot be in business and do it in
a Cody manner but that he ex-
poets to do this in spite of general
opinion to the contrary. Rev.
Groves frankness in writing makes
this letter rather unusual docn-
ment. - Huntsville Herald.
