We call attention to the advertisement
of the Cedar Bluff College. This insti~
tuition has grown in prosperity very
much during the past few years. 1t is
considered one of the cheapest and best
schools in Kentucky, and is one OF the
cheapest anywhere. In speaking of
this school the Bowling Green Demo-
crdt says: Cedar Bluff College has
now completed it's sixth year as char
tered institution, and has attained, Ly
steady and healthy growth, an enviable
position among the institutions for fe-
male learning in Kentucky. Mrs Cor
don, who has been connected with the
College from the time of its Organiza-
ton, and who will retain her position,
is now the principal teacher, and there
are associated with her, several of the
most competent female teachers any
where to be found. The growth and
present high rank which the College has
enjoyed, may be attributed to the fact
that the very best class of teachers have
been constantly engaged. The future of
Cedar Bluff should be brighter than
it's past. There is no lOvlier, nor more
healthy location in kentucky, than the
College occupies. All its surroundings
are beautiful. Nature has bestowed the
tokens of her choisest handiwork on
the spot, and we trust it will long re-
main favorite seat of learning in Ken

| To the Editors of the Columbia Herald:
This place can certainly be compared to a
! beehive. No offense, We fair ones-don't
mean you are i'll natured ind that you have
stung some of the rougher sex too much
| but on account of the patronage it receives
from both the lovers of fun and those who
wish to regain their lost appetites. Only a
few who are now here are on the sick list, or,
in other words, absent from roll-call which
means-meal time. | have often heard of
chicks looking for hiding place when certain
divines come around; it may be that they have
been frightened to some extent in this neigh
boThood by their dreaded enemy, but surely
they find a fatal foe in us all. Market quota
ton of chickens-"but few to be found
A few persons have arrived recently, among
whom are, w. p. Cant and family; Dick King
and family; John KiDzer and family; Mrs.
Mike Klnzer and family; F. G. Huntington
and family; Mrs. James Jones and family;
Col. J. W. Huntington and lady; three Misses
Bryant. Col. Huntington came down q few
days ago, and to-day his many friends were
glad to meet him on the street and to see mis-
pleasant face out at the springs. Our
Young friend j. Runt Hodge is improving very
fast; indeed, you would hardly know him he
is as young and just as polite as ever-don't
know but what he has been passing himself
off as a young man. We have quite a number
of young gentlemen here now, some of whom
are fine musicians, and have their instru-
ments, violin, guitar, with them. We must
say, that sweeter music than we have heard
the last few nights can only be produced by
the "tenderer gender" The leaders of the
band are Davis and Campbell.
We have had some three nice dancing par
ties since your last issue. Tonight, under
the management Of Miss M0llie Bryant, there
will be some characters and tableaux, We
anticipate good time for all. The ballroom
is under Roadway. Messrs. Cecil, Chappell
and Joe Irvine, are the building committee
and under the management of such energetic
men that they will have it in readiness for
the grand hop on Friday night. The size OF
the room is "a by 40 feet.
Notwithstanding the many attractions in the
shape of pretty girls, music and dancing, we
have some half dozen men who will steal off
on the fox chase. Among us the other night
was young professional gentlemen from Co.
lumbia, who stands in front ranks. This was
his second night out fox hunting, and he
amused the old hunters very much by getting
his cigar knocked out, his hat brushed off, etc.
He wished to know if we could not tell the
color of dog by the way it barked. No
more this morning, as Spotted TaiP' is pre-
pairing to move to other "hunting grounds"
"Boston Charley" will write you. Yours,
SPOTTED TAIL,
