kind and courteous to all, and wat
rai?ht appropriately be termed an old
fash'oned Kentucky gentleman. In
early manhood he devoted himself to
the practice of law, but give it up in
later years for farming and stock-raising,
in both of which he was success
ful, owning one of the best forms in
Howard county. When too old to

a woman he fancied and the kind be
pressed himself to us as to the kind of
didn't fancy. He doesn't admire one
that is large and tall, black hair and
eyes and dark comp'exioned. Said
such a woman was as homely as an old
fashioned bed-post with a string tied
to it. The kind of a female he de
clared he was looking for is a small
bundle of sweetness with blue eyesj
light hair and fair complexioned, with
a mother not homely and brothers not
lazy, with all of her sisters school
teachers, so that none of them would
sj.unge on him. He didn't say any
thing about his ideal's paternal ancer
tor, but we suspect Mr. Scott would
want him to be a school director or a
road boss. 1
