Last Monday evening we met upo,
the streets Mr.. P. L.Brizendine, repre-
senting McCord, Boomer, & Co. Mr..
Brizendine is one of the most whole.
souled fellows we ever met, and as a
salesman is unsurpassed by any man
travelling in the Green River country.
He was once a member of the craft,
and knowing the appreciation news,
paper man has for money, made us
happy by subscribing for the HARALD.
His card will appear before long.

1t is not our disposition to NEEDLE
with affairs that do not concern US, but
then ~e must say something about the
of the road between this point
andBeaver Dam. Its almost impassa.
HE, and for one to travel over it would
come to the conclusion that 1t never
had been worked. We don't know
who the road boss is. but he had better
attend to working it or 10. Haycraft,
Commonwealth Attorney, will have
a fat job when he comes around again.
1t is the Surveyors duty to keep road
in order, aad as this one is travelled
more than any other road in the coun-
ty, it is very important that it should
be put in passable condition. 1t is
very difficult for the mail stage to run
between here and the railroad.

Trial Before u. n. Comm issiOner,
Geo. q. Wedding.

James B. Clark was tried on Friday
last, before U. s. Commissioner, We'd
ding, on the charge of retailing whisky
and tobacco without paying special
tax. Mr.. Clark kepts country store
near FOrdsville, this county, and was
accused by young man named Mills,
of having violated the revenue law,
but when the trial came on, Mills could
remember but Is cents worth of to-
bacco which he had bought Of Clark,
but the other neighbors of Mr.. Clark,
including Squire Cobb and many of
the best citizens in that part of the
county, knew nothing ofClark having
tobacco for sale, although thy had of,
ten been at his store, and through it,
Mr.. Clark was acquitted and went on
his way rejoicing. He was defended
by McHenry & Hill.

Owensboro is without doubt the livest
city in the Green river country. Not
exceeding two years ago Mr.. Lumpkin
began the publication of little month
ly called the "Owensboro Advertiser,
which he published but a short time,
finding it would pay him to enlarge.
He did so; changing its name to that
of the Owensboro Examiner. The
Examiner is now one Of the leading
papers in the Green river section, and
will soon be printed by steam. We
would call them go-ahead, enterprising
people over there.

TERRIFIC Hail Nforn.

A severe storm of wind, accompa.
MED with hail, passed over this place
on last Sunday evening. The hail
stones were remarkable for their size
and variety of shape, being of almost
every conceivable form. Some having
the appearance of stars, with four well
defined points; others round, oval, OBJ
long and fat-in fact, the variety un>
limited. Many of them were larger
than a hens egg, and chunks, having
the appearance of having been broken
from larger blocks, would have weigh
ed at least a half pound. 1t was a
grand sight to see the elements full of
sparkling missels, falling with such
reckless prOfusion. Though the sight
was grand, it had its ridiculous side
also, as has almost every other thing
in nature. 1t happened that quite a
large number had congregated near
Barrett's Ferry, this county, to witness
ordinance of baptism, when the storm
passed over. There was fear depicted
on every face, and the horses were
wild with terror, rushing through the
woods, and in many instances leaving
their fair riders lying amid the huge
ice bolders in the most fantastic posi-
tons with no lodging room from the
serial artillery which showed no respect
for persons or positions. We are
happy to state that, with the exception
of soiled dresses and disordered tresses,
no damage Of a serious nature was
done.

place, who will be sorry to learn of his
misfortune.
