This is quite a compliment to our worthy instructor but he will remain here Richard Coleman the negro farm hand who ravished and murdered Mrs Mollie lashbrook near Maysville was taken by a crowd of citizens at Maysville and burned to death. His eyes were first filled with vitriol; his clothes stripped and a big fire built around him. His death was slow and wreathing in terrible agony, he was hooted and glared at by thousands assembled. His fate was a horrible one and yet not more terrible than was his treatment of the poor weak victim of his criminal lust and unbridled passion W.A.

Our people were pleased with Mr Guthrie's work and treatment of the public as to Mr Pettus he has been here often enough to convince everyone that he is a good man who carries out his instrucktions and at the same time gives satisfaction to patrons of the railroad We give below a list of names of pupils at the college worthy of special notice. their average grades for November being as follows: Annie Thompson........97 Alza Thompson.........96 Rissie Williams.......96 McKenzie Brown........96 Fanny Saprks..........95 Mattie Baker..........95 Burdette Houk.........95 Margis McClary........95 Clydie Cas............95 Pleas Ramsey who is working on this railroad section with some other noted coon hunters captured and killed some two weeks since a giant raccon. They made a report to this paper stating that said coon weighed 46 pounds. Being acquainted with the boys who are noted for thier good humored prolivities for jokes we refused to publish the report. Upon investigation and looking upon the pelt we give in and beg the pardon of the boys. It was a blamed big coon and are satisfied the boys told the truth ANOTHER SOUL TAKETH FLIGHT >From hill top to hill top from valley to valley fashed the news Friday evening late that our friend J.L. Brooks, affectionally called "Kirgy" had accidentally shot and killed himself. He was returning from Koehler's saw mill on Copper creek near the Garrard county lien late friday afternoon. He rode up to a gate fastened with a chain near Mark Watkins house with his gun across his lap. He bent over to unfasten the gate when the gun dropped striking the ground the jar discharging it; the entire load of buckshot going into the bowels. Receiving the full contents of his own gun his mortal framed quivered; his giant strength weakened; his fine manly form fell from his horse to the ground and in a moment his pirtit departed for "Krigy" was dead. He died without a days or an hours sickness away from home from a fond and faithful wife and loving children. waht a sad and terrible death it was. his life ended not in youth nor in old age but in the ver meridian of a strong vigorous and active manhood. He was oldest son of henry Brooks and was born 42 years ago near Gumsulphur. He married the beautiful Miss Maggie Rowland, and three children have blessed their union two boys and one girl. He had just moved from Clear creek to Wildie where he had built for himself and family a splendid residence. Never have we known a man exactly like "Kirgy" Borooks. Kind hearted and generous at all times. So kindly and so gracious was his nature that those who knew him quickly became his freind. His affections for his wife and family was beautiful to behold. His very presence appeared to give them joy..to see his friends and household happy was his great delight. He was buried Saturday afternoon at Brodhead where a large crowd witnessed his funeral and many a flower was placed upon his grave. The scene was mournfully impressive every face depicted grief and many eyes were bedimmed with tears As his devoted freind in life our bruised heart moved us to attend the funeral as a tribut of sincere love and deep respenct for hi. Would that we could pluck beautiful flowers from the realms of fancy with which to decorate his tomb or bring from the depths of our heart devoted to his memory the sacred myrtle, and lay its wreath by the side of the flowers placed by the hands of affection o'er his grave! We cannot soothe the dull cold ear of death, but we write this that the bereaved widow and childern, his broken hearted brothers and sisters may know that others mourn his untimely death; that others loved him' that other hearts are bleeding and other eyes are filled with tears; and that others will cherish his memory. Calmly he slumbers beneath the soil of his native county. Embowered among the melancholy shaades of the Brodhead cemetery through which the winter winds will cahnt their low sad hymns as "Kirgy" lies there in the embrace of that profound sleep that knows no waking. Peace to his ashes! Glory to his happy congenial soul ------------------------------ End of ky-footsteps-digest V1 #465 ********************************** USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free genealogical information on the Internet, data may be freely used for personal research and by non-commercial entities as long as this message remains on all copied material.
