Mr. Blackburn is a native of Grant county, leaving here some twenty years ago, first locating at Berry, Kentucky, organizing The Berry Deposit Bank which was a success and so much so that Lexington’s financiers called him to assist in the management of the Union Bank & Trust Company, and was at that time chosen cashier. On last Tuesday at a meeting at a meeting of the Board of Directors he was elected President of the Bank. During his connection with this bank he has been very instrumental in building up one of Lexington’s largest banking institutions. Since Mr. Blackburn became associated with the Union Bank & Trust Company he has paid to the original stockholders One Hundred and Fifteen per cent in dividends and has built up the Surplus account approximately fifty per cent of its Capital. The stock is now quoted at $250.00. From the information we have, it seems that Mr. Blackburn has been very successful in the financial sense both for himself and his associates from the time he began business at Sherman, this county, when a youth.During all this time he has kept himself familiar with the affairs of Grant county by subscribing to The Grant County News.

In Memory of our dear mother, Monnie Ferrill, who died November 14, 1921.
Seven sad weeks have passed away
Since our dear mother was called away;
Great is the loss that we sustained,
But hope in Heaven to meet again.
Peaceful be thy sleep dear mother,
How sweet to breathe thy name;
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same;
We grieved when you departed,
We miss you more than we can say and all feel broken hearted,
But home to meet again some day.
No one knows how much we miss you.
You were so good, so kind, so true,
God alone for he knows best called you to that home of rest.
It was a bitter grief, a shock severe, to part with one we loved so dear.
We weep for her, no tender wife E'er kept papa's fireside bright,
No more devoted mothers love E'er kept homes altar fires alight;
And she is with the Angels host with sinless heart and stainless hand
waiting to meet the friends to come to that bright and happy land.
Her Daughter, Claris Mae Beach.

The act of Kirtley Barnes in rescuing Mrs. Carter from the flames is characterized on all sides an act of heroism which has no parallel here. Mrs. Carter was asleep in her apartment over the grocery and the lower part of the building was a solild mass of flames. The stairway built on the outside of the building was burning rapidly. Mr. Barnes ran up the burning stairway, broke into Mrs. Carter's room, wrapped her in bed clothing while smoke nearly stifled him and flames licked at his clothing. By this time the stairway was buring so fircely it was impossible to descent, and Barnes carried Mrs. Carter to the front widow, kicked it out and stepped on the roof of the porch in front of the building, while with gentle hands Mrs. Carter was passed to the ground and received by other men. She suffered no injuries, but was under the care of physicians for several hours due to the shock she received. The floor was burning rapidly, when Mr. Barnes rescued Mrs. Carter, and fell in only a few moments later.

For the first time in the history of the county a woman is serving on a jury. Mrs. T. W. Clark is the lone jurywoman. There were two other women in the panel but both were excused. The first trial to come before the court was the case of the Commonwealth vs. James McMillan, accused of having violated the prohibition laws of the State in transporting liquor and having parts of an illicit still in his possession. McMillan was arrested in Williamstown several months ago by the town marshal, Wm. Stroud. It is alleged that a considerable quantity of white whiskey and the copper coil of a still were found in McMillan's automobile. The proof for one reason or another was not very convincing, and the jury returned a verdict of "not guilty" after being out only a few minutes. The case was tried by Jury No. 1 and Mrs. Clark voted with the male members for acquittal.

A suit of equity brought by the Administratrix of J. S. Steers against J. A. Judy, to recover on certain notes, came up for trial on Wednesday.

Plaintiff's attorney states that he received a letter from Mrs. Ashcraft in which she stated that the accusation to the effect that she had been beaten by Scroggin was untrue, and that she had been induced to bring the suit by some of the neighbors and that she wanted the suit dismissed. Mr. Scroggin has suffered a great deal of humiliation by the suit and the charge preferred and his friends will be glad to know that Mrs. Ashcraft say the charges are untrue. .

In Memory of Eloise Stewart, who deprted this life January 8, 1922, aged 3 years, 4 months, and 28 days.
We had a treasure once,
She was our joy and pride,
We loved her, oh, perhaps to well
For soon shel slept and died.
All is dark within our dwelling,
Lonely are our hearts today,
For the one we loved so dearly
Has forever passed away.
Dear little hands I miss them so,
All through the day whereve I go,
All through the night how lonely it seems
Nor no little hands wake me out of my dreams.
I miss them all through the weary hours,
I miss them as other do sunshine and flowers,
Day-time or night-time wherever I go
Dear little hands, I miss them so.
Her Mother, Mrs. Estill D. Stewart.

In Memory: Saturday morning, January 21, long before the sun had risen to drive away the solemn hours of night and brighten the ice-clad hills, the Death Angel entered the home of W. H. Steers and claimed the wife and mother for his own. She bore her suffering with that calm fortitude of a true Christian mother. She was born June 24, 1875. At the age of 21 she united with the Primitive Baptist Church of Dry Ridge and remained a true and loyal member unto her death. At the age of 15 she was married to William Steers and to this union eight children were born, seven of whom are living, on having preceded her to the great beyond. Just as the majority of her children had arrived at the age of being a comfort to her and thos children that were at home were of a great aid and when life seemed to be full of contentment and joy, she was called to rest.

In Memory of Dear Uncle Newt Barker who departed this life December 22, 1921, passing out of earth, shadow into infinite day:
Why do they call it dying, this beautiful passing away?
Oh, the glory and the sadness of a life we loved so dear.
Of a death like nature dying in the failing of the year.
He is not dead, but sleepeth, till the early birds shall sing
And the heaven awake him for the coming of the King.
Oh, for such a blessed failling into quiet sleep at last,
When the ripened grain is garnered and the toil and trials past,
When the red and gold of sunset slowly changes into gray,
Oh for such a quiet passing through the Valley into day.
His niece, Nora F. Clark, 22 East 26th Street, Covington, Kentucky.
