OBITUARY. A dark cloud settled over the once happy home of our sister An- nie Comiford, on March 19th, when the great enemy, death, entered her home and claimed for it’s victim, our brother wiley Comiford in the 45th year of his life. Bro. Comiford con- fessed his faith in Christ and was baptized by Elder w A Miller, and has since been a follower of Him who said, ‘‘Follow me that you may have eternal life.” His character was unspotted by many of the evils that cross life’s pathway. Bro Comiford was universally loved for his unselfish devotion to the interest of others, and everyone loved him. In his death the neighborhood sustains the loss of one of its most worthy citizens. The home where strong ties of love exist- ed is now broken, leaving it desolate. Never again will you hear the loving voice of your dear one on earth, but we would not call him back, to suffer again what he has, nor wake him from his death slumber, but wait again the resurrection morn, when this mortal shall put on immortality and we meet again in that land where his feet tread paths bordered by such flowers as earth never knew, and lips taste water of which we never dream. May the dear wife and brother, who did everything in hu- man power to save him, willingly yield to the willof Him who doeth all things well. He leaves a wife, brother and three half-brothers on this side ‘““To live in the hearts of those we love is not to die.” He was buried March 20th at the Virginia grave yard. AARON, Culver items.

Declines to Become a Candidate is for the Presidency. Democracy, tie Says, Shouid First De- Wastington, D. C. April 5.—See retary Carlisle has written the fol- sowing letter ou the subject of his andidacy for the Presidential nomi nation ut the Chicago convention: Charles &. Long, Chairman Demo- cratic State Central Committee, Louisville, Ky Washington, D C. April 4, 1896 —Dear Si:: Your tuvor of March 30, in which you say in substance that many of wy frienda in Kentucky and elsewhere desire me to become a candidate before the approaching national Democratic conventien for nomination to the office of President, and requesting me to give some au- thoritive or definite expression upon the subject, has been maturely con sidered Many communications upon the! same subject and similar import have been received from friends in different parts of the country, and while very grateful for these numer- ous expressions of confidence and esteem upon the part of my Demo cratic fellow citizens, I have not been able to reach the conclusion that the existing conditions require me to comply with their requests by au- thorizing them to announce me as a candidate for the Presidential nomi- nation. While I feel a profound interest in the welfare of my party, I am much more concerned about its de claration of principles than its’selec- tion of candidates, because, in my opinion, its failure of success at the election, as well as its capacity for useful service in the country in the future, depends upon the position it takes or omits to take upon the pub lic questions now engaging the at tention of the people, and especially the questions affecting the monetary system of the country and the char- acter and amount of taxation to be imposed upon our citizens. Its posi- tion upon these and other subjects having been agreed upon, and clearly and distinctly announced, the con vention ought to have no difficulty in selecting an acceptable candidate who will fairly represent its views, and in order that its deliberations may be embarassed as little as pos sible by the contention of rival aspi- rants and their friends, I think my duty to the party will be best per formed by declining to participate in a contest for the nomination. The obligations assumed when I accepted my present official position require me to devote my entire time and attention to the public iuterests committed to my charge, and I shall continue to discharge the duties im- posed upon me to the best of my ability, and in such manner as wili, in my judgment, most certainly pro mote the true interests of the coun- try; and if, in the opinion of my fel low Democrats of Kentucky, my services entitle me to their commen- dation and approval, I would regard their indorsement of my $public course as an ample reward for the little I have been able to accomplish in behalf of honest administration and a sound financial policy. With many thanks for your kind letter, I am, very truly yours, J. G. Caruis.e. HENRY WATTERSON ON THE LETTER Louisville, Ky., April 5.—Tke Courier-Journal will to morrow pub- lish the following editorial on the letter of Secretary Carlisle made publie to-night: “The position which Mr. Carlisle takes is entirely in accord with the dignity of the office of President and with the duties of the office of Secretary of the Treasury.

Now my fellow citizensdo you want to save money or will you continue to trade somewhere else and pay all the way from 10 to 25 per cent more for your goods, I am here to stay and propose to sell my goods just as low as J possibly can, not at cost but at very small profit. ; So my doors stand widefopen and a | cordial invitation is extended to all | the people of Butler and Bates Co., |to come and trade with me. The ' more custom I have the cheaper I |can sell. I will only mention one _article as it costs money to give a ‘long list of articles and prices, that | my 25¢ coffee which is as good if | not better than any 30c¢ coffee you ean buy 10 this city, come and try it \ and if it does not prove to be as rec- ommended I will cheerfully refund your money and you can keep the coffee.
