We understand that the friends of Mr. E. K. Wilson will soon ask Gov. Beckham
for a pardon for him.
Mrs. David Johnson, who has remained quite ill during the week with
pneumonia, is again reported to be improving.
There has been quite an epidemic of scarlet fever in the extreme North
eastern portion of this county, near McWhorter.
Dr. G. S. Brock left here Tuesday for Chicago where he will take a post
graduate course in the Chicago School of Medicine. He will be absent about
five months.
The family of Mr. W. B. Hardin, manager of the Langdon, Creasey & Co.'s
store, have arrived in London and are occupying rooms in the Mrs. Denham
property.
Mr. James Sparks recently traded his property in London, near the depot,
known as the Commercial Hotel, to the farm of Mr. Lee Wyrick and the latter
has moved to town.
Mr. J. M. Hurley, who has been making London his home for the past year, and
during that time has made many friends here, left last Tuesday for his old
home in Fleminsburg.
Mrs. Eliza Hoskins, wife of Mr. Silas Hoskins, of McWhorter, this county, has
been quite ill for several days, but at last accounts was convalescent and it
is hoped she will soon recover.
Miss Hattie Brown, the accomplished daughter of Judge Brown, after an absence
of several months visiting relatives in Little Rock, Ark., surprised the home
folks Saturday afternoon by returning home.
BORN-To the wife of Mr. Moses Parsley a beautiful daughter. Of course, it is
very little difference now to Mr. Parsley whether "the world do move: or not.
He is just as happy as a big 'May apple" anyway.
Only two marriage license have been issued by our county court clerk during
the week. The contracting parties to whom they were issued were M. F. Bowman
to Jocie Wilburn, and Samuel Parrett to Nannie Parker.
Mrs. Rachel Jones, mother of Mrs. David Johnson, who has been constantly at
the bedside of the daughter during her illness, is also very sick, and some
fears are entertained that she will not recover on account of her extreme old
age.
