ONE OF OLDEST CITIZENS

Another old citizen has crossed

He was born at the old Morton

For many years DR.. Morton was a
practicing physician and surgeon

of his profession wherever known.
In the early days of the gold fe-

where his services as a physician
were much in demand. He served
for several years as resident surgeon
in a Sacramento hospital with much
success. firing of that country he
returned to his native State in 1857

WEATHER
HAS ARRIVED AT LAST

Real hog-killing weather prevails
throughout Kentucky and farmers
are busy preparing their winter
meat. Sunday morning ushered in
a Western storm with high winds
and snow, which cleared by Monday
morning, showing a drop in temper
ature of from 80 TO 40 degrees.
There was slight fall of snow in
this vicinity Sunday.
The warm spring-like weather OF
last week had caused vegetation to
reappear in many sections of the
State, as II In April. In many in
stances farmers who had killed
their hogs during a previous cold
snap. lost much of their winter pro-
visions on account of the soft
weather.
The present cold spell, however
seems to be the real thing and has
put much ginger" into all persons
who engage In outdoor activities.
The weather bureau indicates it will
continue for a few days. at least.
Old-fashioned Christmas weather
seems to be in store for Old Ken
