Mr.. John Lowry and George Ed
wards took hunting tour to Twin
Lakes on yesterday afternoon, where
they killed ten ducks, but succeeded
in securing only seven OF them. This
we think is the best half-day's hunt
ing done in this vicinity this season.

between fifteen and eighteen dollars
in change. The thieves made their
entrance through a back hall door
and thence by bursting open the door
that opens into the saloon from said

We visited Inwood and Bourbon
on Saturday last, in the interest OF
the REPUBLICAN, where we found
hosts Of warm friends OF that iastitu-
ton. In Inwood, Mr.. Stoner, Mr..
Hull and Mr.. b. f. Blossingham, rem
dered us much assistance. In Bour-
bon, we were indebted to DR.. A. @.
Matchette for many kindnesses. The
doctor showed US through his new
residence which is almost completed,
and when completed will, without
doubt, be the finest residence in
Marshall county. His frescoing is
the finest we have ever seen. Mr..
John Charly and partner have just
put in operation one OF the neatest
and best arranged Touring mills we
have ever seeL. ii. l.. P.
On our visit to Bourbon, Satur-
day last, we had the pleasure OF meet
ing with Prof W. F. Yocum, A. NJ,
President of the Bourbon College.
We found the Prof. a gentleman OF
culture, very sociabIe and compan-
ionable, and one admirably qualified
in every respect to win his way to the
ucdkto duU COunbCucC Va Guy WIN
munity. Bourbon is peculiarly fortu-
nate in securing for its college such a
finished scholar and perfect gentle
man for the presiding officer OF that
popular institution OF learning. Young
gentlemen AMI ladies DESTROYS OF TAX
ing thorough or partial course in a
college, can do no better than to en-
ter Bourbon college. Especially ad-
vantageous will the normal course OF
instruction in the college be to those
desirious Of teaching, as special in
ducements are given TO teachers plac-
ing themselves in the Normal depart
ment. We predict a fair future for
Bourbon College under the presiding
OF Prof. Yocum. II. l.. p.
