COUNTY JUDGE JAMES P. MILLER, was born on a farm two miles east of HORTON, OHIO COUNTY OCTOBER 6, 1850. When quite young his parents died, leaving him to struggle along as best he could. By hard work and close application he obtained a good education and finally became a teacher in the schools of the county. On JANUARY 1, 1877, he married to MISS ALICE PAXTON, a most charming lady of the Beaver Dam neighborhood. On August 17, 1889, his partner in life was taken away from him by death and he found himself alone with five motherless children, all of whom he has succeeded in raising and keeping at home and who today compose one of the most interesting and happy families in Hartford.

JUDGE MILLER became a member of the Masonic fraternity when a young man and has filled almost every responsible position in the Blue Lodge. He has always taken a lively interest in the political affairs of his county and stands high with all political parties as a man of ability and fair dealing. He first affiliated with the Republican Party, but he came dissatisfied with that party and went into the organization of the Populist Party and was twice nominated for the office by the Populist party without any solicitation on his part and over his protest. He was nominated by the Populist and Democrats of Ohio County for COUNTY JUDGE in the year 1897 and though the entire fusion ticket was defeated except himself he won by a bare majority. In the mean time he became identified with the Democratic party both by act and belief and so acceptably did he conduct the business of the county and his office that the Democrats nominated him for re-election by the largest majority ever given any candidate in a county convention. In the general election that followed while his opponent had nearly a100 majority to start with JUDGE MILLER overcame that majority receiving the support of many of the leading Republicans of the county. His was the largest vote ever cast for a County Judge in this county.

In religion Judge Miller is an ardent Baptist and an enthusiastic church worker. When the Ohio County Baptist Association was organized here in September he was chosen Assistant Moderator, without opposition. He is at present Assistant Superintendent of the Baptist Sunday School at Hartford and also a teacher in the same. During the late long and tedious campaign, he was absent but one Sunday from his class.

In fact Judge Miller is one of Ohio County’s most respected citizens and a Christian gentleman of the first class it gives us pleasure to present to our readers the above excellent likeness of him

.........................

COUNTY ATTORNEY WILLIAM H. BARNES, was born on a farm near HARTFORD, KY. NOVEMBER 30, 1870. He is the son of R. W. and FANNIE B. BARNES and is the eldest of ten children.

Mr. Barnes attended public schools until the fall of 1889, when he entered HARTFORD COLLEGE and attended two sessions 80-90, 91-92 at which time he received two collegiate degrees. B. S. at close of the first term and PH B. at the close of the second term. Mr. Barnes was one of the contestants in the oratorical contest between the members of the Scientific Philosophies and the Classical departments which took place close of the last section he attended. His subject was “OUR SOCIAL AND ECOMEMIC FUTURE” JUDGE JEP C. JOHNSON of Greenville, Ky, JUDGE J. ALLEN, Dean of Owensboro, and Hon. E. J. McDERMETT of Louisville were the judges. In this contest he was adjudged the winner of the prize.... $50.00 gold.

After leaving college, he taught in the public schools for two year. He was married AUGUST 30, 1893 to MISS ADA R. PATTON, daughter of MR. and MRS. J. H. PATTON. To them have been born two children, both boys. The first child, STOY LYNN , died at the age of six weeks. The other Master JAMES GLENN is five years old.

Mr. Barnes, recognizing his best talents, resolved upon the legal profession. After some time of close application he was admitted to practice law. on December 1, 1893. He moved to Hartford in the spring of 1895. Besides a successful career as a lawyer he has held the office of CITY ATTORNEY and also that of POLICE JUDGE of Hartford. He is a member of the Methodist church.

Mr. Barnes has always taken an active interst in politics and is a strong Democrat. He was eleected County Attorney on the Demoratie ticket at the recent election. November 5, 1901 and assumed the duties of his office last Monday. Mr. Barnes is a gentleman of high ideas and is very popular throughout the county. An evidence of his popularity may be gleamed from the fact that he was elected by a good majority over a man who is an old hand at politics and who had a large political majority to start with. The above is an excellent linkness of Mr. Barnes.
