Death of Hrs. Yancey.

Mrs. Mary Yancey, aged about
thirty.ive years, died last Fri
day morning at Elkton, KY,
after an operation for adhesion
of the bowels, her condition rem
dering the operation the only
chance for life, following an
operation for appendicitis about
one year ago. Mrs. Yancey was
we'll known here, having been
for two seasons. connected with
the millinery department of the
W. F. Hancock store. While
with US Mrs. Yancey came in
contact with practically all of
our people and we can say in her
memory that her pleasing manner
made for her as many friends as
were ever won by a stranger
coming to the town. We believe
that in the fullest sense she was
a good woman and no higher tri.
butte can be paid. Life was
bright and the world beautiful
to Mrs. Yancey and we join her
host Of other friends in the re-
greet that she was turely
taken away.

Green H. Harris.

Green Il. Harris was born in
the old 9Th district of Henderson
county 70 years ago, come Nov.
10Th next, and spent his life 10
the same section, departing for
that bourne from whence no
traveller ever returns at $40
O'Clock p. M, August 21. His re-
mains were inferred on the 22d,
inst, at the Douglass graveyard
near his life time home, Rev. j.
W. Page of the Baptist church,
officiating in the last sad rites.
MIR. Harris was married in his
young manhood to Mics Caroline
Black, and of the five children
born TO the union he is survived
by three, two daughters and one
son-Miss Sallie, who is unmar-
ried and at home, and Mary f.,
wife of County Court Clerk j. W.
Page and w. l.. Harris, who is a
man of family and resides near
the old home.
This man, in his plain way,
was entitled to be classed as
among the salt of the earth.',
His whole life was so spent that
at its end he was said to not have
an enemy in the world. Honest
considerate, kind, an excellent.
neighbor, an exemplary usband,
an affectionate father, his place
as a factor 10 the community in
which he lived more than the
allotted days of man cannot be
filed. Full of years, possessing
the love of family and other kin
and the respect of all who bad
known him, met and dealt with
him, he has passed to that re.
ward guaranteed to the righte-
Gus. He was a Baptist in his
belief, but in any church com.
munion he would have been a
good man and those he has left
here are proud of the life he has
lived-the reward to which he
has gone.

secured the Cherokee Indian
Base Ball Club for two games to
be played at Lexington, On Mon

night, This team is composed
of genuine Redskins from the
Carlisle Indian School. 1t is one
of the fastest travelling teams on

cent of their games.
In connection with the day
game the Indians play regulation
base ball at night. They carry
their own light plant, consisting
of fifty arc lights of a thousand
candle power each, making fifty
thousand candle power on the

in no way from the day game as
the same rules govern both
games. Manager Holland is to
be congratulated on securing this
late attraction aud he assures as
the local boys will take the
scalps of their red brothers in
one of the games if not both, as
he has secured the services of
Sloan and another good pitcher
end catcher.
The Indians have the advan.
tage of playing every day, how

no complaint and her condition
was really fatal before it was
realized. Her like is so seldom
met in the world that when we
encounter one of her nature, we
bow in reverence and wonder at
the existence of such unselfsh.
ness. Pure in thought, word and
deed, with soul as white as the
driven snow, she was the light
OF her fathers eyes, the best be-
loved of her two brothers and
one sister and the admiration of
all who knew her. Even as
Christ said Of the little children,

When the last summons came
and found her ready to answer,
her bedside was surrounded

heartbroken because of her un.

We know that her soul is resting

There Is no restriction on rabbit

of firearms, as well as ammunition,
are deliberately displayed in the
