JOP j. THOMPSON DIES AT
HIS HOME NEAR
PREACHERSVILLE

A good citizen, clever gentle
man and an honest man was taken
from this community when Jop J.
Thompson S spirit passed into the
great beyond at 10 o'clock Satur-
day morning. He was well known
all over this section but in his
neighborhood, around Preachers
vile, he was known best and there
he was admired most. Truly can
it be said of him that to know him
was to like him. He was honor
able in his dealings, did right as he
saw right, and the few errors that
he made, if indeed he made any,
were of the head and not of the
heart. Any community is blessed
by having such a man in it, and
today there is regret in his section
of the county such as probably the
death of no other man would have
caused.
Mr.. Thompson was 90 years old
and came to Lincoln from Rock
castle some twenty years ago. An
indomitable worker and a man of
good judgment, he made good from
the start, and besides rearing a
large family, he acquired a con-
siderable estate. He is survived
by his widow. who was a daugh-
ter OF the late H. H. Baker, of
Rockcastle, and the following
children: James H. Thompson,
of this county, John Frank
Thompson, of Garrard. Logan
Thompson. of Lincoln, Mrs. Hay
den Leavell, of Garrard, Mrs.
Seph Morgan, of Garrard, Phil B.
Thompson, of Lincoln. Prewitt
Thompson, of Garrard, and Chas.
Thompson of Mt. Vernon. Fonr
children preceded the father to the
grave. Two brothers, A. j.
Thompson, of Boyle and f. 1.
Thompson, of ROckcastle also
survive.
Euaemic poisor was the direct
cause of Mr.. Thompson's death.
but he had been in feeble health
for some years. He was a MEM
Der of the Baptist church, and
gave of the time and means to the
furtherance of the church and to
other good causes.
Several years ago the deceased
told his nephew. DR.. E. ]. Rrown,
of this city, who was his physic-
ian, that he wanted Mr.. ]. e. Nc.
Clary, of Stanford, to make talk
at his home before his burial. He
had seen the gentleman conduct
services over the remains of a
relative and was so impressed
with the simplicity of it that he
wanted just such a funeral. His
wishes were carried out, and at
two o'clock SUNDAY afternoon at

WILL SEE. FAIR
Annual Cruise Of State Or.
ganization Will Take Place
During Next July

Members Of the Fourth Division,
N. M. w., will see the Panama-Pa-
cihc exposition in July, most likely.
The state naval militia will take it's
annual cruise in the first three weeks
in July, according to information re-
ceived by officers of the Fourth Divi-
sion, yesterday, from Adjutant Gen.
eral Maurice Thompson. The cruise
undoubtedly will be to San Francisco
where the sailors will be given FIVE
days to view the exposition. All men
who make the cruise must be enlist
ed at least go days before the cruise
begins. This will prohibit those who
enlist after May from making the
trip.
No detailed plans for the trip have
yet been made and these probably
will not be ready for announcement
until the later part Of May. The
Fourth Division now is enlisted to
nearly peace strength but some new
men, 1t is expected, will be signed
up before the cruise begins. Lieut.
A. E. Bradner expects to have the
largest division in the state by the
time the cruise is begun.
