Mr. Pages's impression of the result of the meeting gives an idea of the work done more fully than can be expressed by the writer, which is here appended. We shall endeavor, by the Courier's permission, to give the result, not only of the special meetings, but of the active agricultural woilc done the past season and that which is contemplated in the future. Walter H.

Page, Director of Commission says: 'The hearing was what those members of the Commission who knew Kentucky and Lexington expected a hearty and frank expression of facts and opinions; and it is especially pleasing that the Governor and so many State officers took the trouble to come to the meeting. The fear that some persons seemed to have that plain facts would give the Commission a wrong impression is unwarranted. The Commission goes away with what the members believe Is a well-balanced impression, having heard (as elsewhere) good and bad, spoken with a frankness that is characteristic of an honeil and earnest people. They co, too ith a hearty appreciation of many personal courtesies. Walter H.

Little One Dies. Little Martha Francis Shaw, the six weeks old infant of Mr. and Mrs. Len Shaw, died Saturday afternoon at two o'clock after a brief illness of heart trouble. No time has been set for the funeral.

Mr. Shaw has been reached by telegraph in Mississippi where he is traveling and it expected to reach here some time Sunday. Mayfield Messenger. Mr. Shaw is a son of Mrs.

Fannie Shaw, of this city. The younger son of Henry Wat- terson, editor of the Louisville Cornier Journal was accidentally killed in New York on November 11 by plunging from his office window, distance of 110 feet. Almost every bone was broken, his head crushed and death was instantaneous. Watterson's hat and overcoat were on his closed desk and his dentil was evidently accidental. Came From Tennessee.

During the Grand Jury's investi gatio" of the night rider troubles, last week, it leaked from the court room, in Union City, that one of the four witnesses during the morning session gave evidence which connects the gang that murdered the negro family near Hickman, with the one that murdered Capt. Rankin. The evidence is so convincing, it is claimed, that the assembling places were given for the various raids. On the night cf the Hickman raid the meeting point was in the depths of Buck Esque woods and from there the band rode forth on its errand of murder. The witness said "On the night of the Walnutlog raid, one section of the night ri ders also met in these woods and then rode to 'Long where it joined forces with the other gang from the Spout Springs section, whose garthering lias been described in the confession of Frank Ferringer, From there they went to Ward hotel." The evidence is of special importance as it joins in with that of Ferringer and be used against those from the section where the night-riders are alleged to have flourished, and with which he is so unfamiliar.

It also developed during the testimony that John McBird, the young man who disappeared during the raid on the negroes near Hickman has never called for his clothes at the place where he had been living and has disappeared from the neighborhood. The state has so far been unable to discover any trace of his whereabouts, which gives additional weight to the theory that he was killed. These facts substantiate what the Courier claimed at the very first that 'the riders who shot the Walker family came from Tennessee but was questioned by some. When Gov. Patterson spoke at Union City, Thursday, several of our leading citizens went ever for the purpose of conferring with the governor on this subject, and are said to have offered, at the proper time, to give some valuable Information, More semations are forthcoming.

Criminal Libel Suit. A suit, has been filed by John B. Wickliffe, who was one of the unsuccessful candidates for Commonwealth's Attorney, against the Ballard County News, published at Bandana by Robt. Hille, a young man who for a few months last winter was reporter on the Mayfield Daily Monitor. Pertaining to the suit the Ballard Yoeman, published a Wickliffe, says "Hille, the fellow who had so much to say during the campaign, is now looking around for a soft place to light.

He has been arrested and put under a $500 bond and will ap pear here shortly to the charge cf criminal libel. He looks very lightly upon the charge but we venture he will know more about the libel laws of the State when he has finished with the case. The burden of proof, as we understand the law, rests with the accused. He must either put somebody else behind the bars or go there himself. The young man has finally accomplished something to say the least of it gotten before the Mr.

Wickliffe is well known to many of our readers. Stranger Found Dead. Reinh Grave, aged about 50 years, was found dead at the fair grounds near Mayfield, Friday forenoon. Grave was a stranger there, having been in the city but a few days, and from whence he came is not known. From papers found on his person his name was learned.

It was also ascertained that he had once worked for the Texas and New Orleans railroad, in last May, and previous to that was a cook on a sea craft, having in his possession a' note, written in German, showing, under date of July 16, 1906, it had been given him for service on a Bremen sailing vessel. This note was read to the coroner's jury by August Graf, the tailor, who explained that Grave was from Holland. There were no marks on the dead man's body and every indication was that he had come to his death from natural causes, perhaps from the cold of the night. 1.
