Would appeal to me in vain.
True, my llpi have only uttered

Wretched when we are apart;
Though I Iittcnto your praliei
Alwjyi longer than I ahould,
Yet my hurt can never hear them

And I would not, could not, pain you;
Wojld not tor the world offend;
I would not hate you know I like you

llut I meant to keep one aecret
In my bosom always hid.
For 1 never meant to tell you
That 1 btrd you but I did.

havo been issued to tho following
couples: William M. Lutterell to Miss

Birdio Tucker. Licenso was also issued
to John Justice to marry a Miss Haiborn
a few days ago, and "thereby hangs a
tale." Two years auo the Circuit Court
issued a btnch warrant injainst said Jus
tice for unlawfully detaining a female
fixing his bond at 5200. The warrant
was never served on account of his keeping
himself Hcarce. Just as tho license
was issued to Justice, Deputy Sheriff W,
Clay Adams, served the warrant on him.
Justice, claiming that if he had tho opportunity
that he could have tho bond
filled out properly, insisted if Adams
would accompany him to the Brush
Creek country all would bo made right.
Adams, in tho goodness of his heart, not
wishing to interrupt tho happy nuptial
proceeding, agreed, and they started.
After getting out of town a6hortdistuuco
Justice concluded to try tho speed of
Adams' line horse. For ono mile tho
race was rather exciting, when Justice,
finding that Adams' charge might out-wind
his own, dismounted, and not yet
satisfied with the trial of speed, concluded
to give tho deputy sheriff a foot race.
So aw ay ho took through the brush up n

They had a short conference, concluded
toga no further and both returned to
town. Justice now looks through a narrow
window in Brown's establishment.

to her many friends of Crab Orchard

other citizens of Stanford and Lincoln

account of the present condition of her
health (being greatly nlllicted with
rheumatism) that she will have to decline
to longer bo an applicant for said

IN MEM0RIAM.
Mies Sallie A. Reid departed this life
Feb. 23, 1S93. Sho was born Dec. 20,
1819, near Old Paint Lick church in Garrard
county. He father was Alex Reid,
of that neighborhood, and her mother
was Miss Maria Thompson, of Lincoln
county. Both her parents died while
she was a young girl and she made her
homo with a half sister near Stanford
until the marriage of her sister Maria to
Benj. P. Hawkins. Since that time,
1850, she has been with this sister.
Several years ago she met with an accident
in Somerset, Ky., that left her in
shattered health. This was followed by
an attack of pneumonia two years ago
and she had since been a confirmed invalid
to the day of her death. She bore
the burdon of these years of nflliction
with Christian fortitudo, patiently endu
ring what was to her the will of the
Lord. Sho was a member of the Hanging
Fork Presbyterian church, exhibiting
in her life those graces that
exalt the Clirisiau character. While
denied for years attendance upon tho
services of the sanctuary, sho eagerly
embraced every opportunity to enjoy
the ministration of Christ's ministers in
her sick room. Hor faith in God was
strong and her soul fed upon the rich
promises of His word and was satisfied
She approached the valley of the shad
ow not as one who fears, but as ono who
expected to pass through the gloom into
the heavenly light beyond. In tho eve'
uing ot her life the shadows were disst
pated by Christ's presence and she ap
proached the grave not like "a quarry
slave, scourged to his dungeon," but
sustained by an unfaltering trust,
"As one who wraps the drapery of his
coucn about mm,
And lies dowu to pleasant dreams."
May those who so long and tenderly
ministered to her wants with loving so
licitude find consolation in the thought
that she is now at rest with those gone
before, whose forms crowded upon her
faded vision before she died, and may
they have her faith in God that they
may meet her
"Where no storms ever beat on the glittering
strand,
While the years of eternity roll."
