hurrying-on toward the end that
alike awaits us all. There is moth
ing permanent but Truth and God.
Verify eve spend our years as a tale
that is told The real life-the life
that lasts--is the life beyond the
grave. The present is but time of
testing and of preparation. To die
is really to begin to live. Death
does not change the man. I'm the
place where the tree falleth, there it
shall be- Memory lives on and on
the spirit but leaving its shell to
be with God who gave it, where it
shall ultimately be reunited with the
body. ooh, death, where is thy
stingq o, grave, where is thy VIC
tory7 Thanks be unto God who
giveth us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ" Only the man
who knows Christ as his Saviour is
ready to die. Others have no hope
and are without God in the world"
The one around whose silent form
we are gathered here today, and to
whose memory we pay our tribute
of respect and affection, had a saw
ing knowledge of Christ as per-
sonal Redeemer. When for him the
end of his years drew nigh, there
was no need for hurried prepara-
ton; no disturbing and distracting
anxiety for the future; for long ago
he became of that number who "be-
ing justified by faith, have peace
with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ"
Respected citizen and friend; de-
voted father; wise counselor; and
man of blameless life, we shall miss
you here, but we shall meet you, and
know you, on the other side. "We
will not say Goodnight but in some
brighter cline bid thee Good morn
ing"
eff God hath made this world so fair,
Where sin and death abound;
How beautiful beyond compare,
Will Paradise be foundp'

Market TO
CLOSE SOON
Thursday, March 10th, Set as the
Closing Date for all Three Local
Tobacco Warehouses.

The local tobacco market will
come to a close in this city on next
Thursday, March Goth, and it is
thought by this time that practically
all of the weed in this section will
have been marketed. The present
season the local houses have enjoy
ed a splendid business, and although
no records were broken as to the
amount sold, the prices realized were
very satisfactory to the growers.
During the past week the three
houses have all held sales and the
prices, while not as high as former
weeks, have kept up as well as any
market in the state. The prices OBJ
tanned over the local floors during
the entire season have compared
favorably with any market in Ken
lucky. Up until Saturday the local
market had sold S,077 ,428 pounds
which brought a total of 1885,
O09.75, a straight average of $34.92.
The individual sales of the three To-
cal warehouses up to Saturday are
as follows: Farmers, 4,013,475 lbs.
average $36.51; Robertson, 1,1O7,-
$50 lbs, average $31.01; Whitehall,
2,95G,475 lbs, average, $34.03.

Mckee had accompanied her hus-
band, who has been in poor health,

his condition. Her mother had

few days. Deceased was a daugh-

G. /. KIRKPATRICK
SINKS TO REST
Was One Of Montgomery County's
Most Prominent and lnfluen-
tiaI Citizens.

Mr.. George Lewis Kirkpatrick,
aged about so years, died at his
home in this city at an early hour
Saturday morning after lingering
illness of paralysis. Mr.. Kirkpat-
rick for many years had been II
prominent tobacco grower and buyer
and had been a representative Of the
Liggett & Myers Co., for long num-
Der of years and was considered one
of the best judges in Kentucky. He
served one term as County Clerk of
this county and had long been a
prominent Republican. He was a
leading Mason and member of the
local lodge of Elks. Mr.. Kirkpat
rick moved to this city from Ripley,
Ohio, over quarter of century
!, ago and at the time of his death was
! one of the most popular and best be-
loved citizens that ever resided in
Montgomery county. A man of strict
honesty and one that was ever ready
to assist his less fortunate fellow
man, he will be greatly missed and
his death will long be mourned. He
was gentleman at all times and in
all places, and always had smile
and kindly word for all with whom
he came in contact. He was a broad
minded liberal man and had distrib
uted much of his means among the
needy of this community. In his
death we lose noble and upright
gentleman, one that we can ill-af,
ford to spare and to his two children,
Mr.. G. W. Kirkpatrick and Mrs.
Charles w. Lindsay, we join the en-
tire community in extending deepest
sympathy. The funeral services
were conducted at his late residence
Sunday Afternoon at 2 80 o'clock with
burial in Machpelah cemetery.
We can give no better estimate of
his character and worth than in the
words of the officiating minister,
Rev. M. V. P. Yeaman, who, by re-
quest, was able to supply them:

spected citizens of this community, a
