s'IN THE SADDLE,
WHAT WE SAW on HORSE BACK.

Last Tuesday evening after supper
while on the search for news to pre-
sent to u readers, we sauntered up
TO Wallace & McKamey's livery
stable and thought We would try the
mettle of one of his many noble
chargers IN taking a spin around the
''rubarbs'' of the city and e if we
could lind anything new. We noticed
that the extension Of the G. & A. R.
r. had injured the WOODEN mill pond
to some extent. The bed of the road
cutting off q part of the water.
The new bridge owe the creek
west of Mexico on the extension is
fl islled.
II. Rice has built an extension to
the wooden mills saIesroom to better
accommodate his many customers.
T. NJ. CLIPS new house is nearly
ready to be occupied. Tom is ready
to occupy.
The rear Of the block on the west
side of the square Is sadly in need of
paint. 1t looks terrible.
The road leading from the square
to r. Pearson's is in a very bad on
dition.
exit Carson's front yard looks
elegant. 1t is an honor to the city.
The trees in Hardin College campus
are growing nicely, and greatly add
to the appearance of the grounds.
Some rock have been hauled to
the Catholic church grounds. We
should judge they thought of build
ing q new church edifce.
Several dwelling houses as well as
business houses are vacant.
Quite q number of small shanties
have been erected along the lire of
the new railroad to accommodate the
laborers on the road.
The new bridge east of Mexico ac-
cording to our idea should be ear
the ford just below the fair ground.
If you put it any where else it will
not accommodate the most people.
If at the foot Of Promenade it will be
too neal the bridge at the foot of
Liberty.
The stable in the rear of Coats
worth's should be pulled down.
We saw quite a crowd of persons
on the circus grounds about 9 O'Clock
with lanterns and shoyels, riding up
we asked them what was the matter.
They said q man had been buried
there and they We're trying to dig him
| up" and from the stencil we thought
surely something dead must be buried
there, on investigation we found that
one Of the circus animals, q horned
horse We should Judge. had died and
| was privately buried sat the dead of
night so that the world would not
know OF the loss, only this and Moth
ing more.
