The sad news received here last week of the death of Mrs. Alice Kaut at Lexington, Kentucky, on June 10th.

She was a good, kind noble and respected lady and her many friends will be sad to learn of her death. She was born January 1, 1851, and at the time of death was 50 years 5 months and 7 days old. She leaves besides a host of relatives and friends, three children to mourn her loss. John and Ben Kaut, 2 prominent business men of this county and Mrs. Neva Boyle of Hood.
