A KENTUCKY ADVERTISEMENT.

Kentucky seems tated to have its sobriquet
of "'The Dark and Bloody Ground" cling to it
forever. Last Saturdays telegraph dispatches
bring accounts of another of those bloody ven
dettas for which the state is famous The
scene of the outbreak was Jackson, the county
seat of Breathitt county. The town has two
opposing bands of ruflans, one headed by
Bill Srong, of home guard fame, and the other
by Jack Altman The Strong party took pos
session of the town on Monday OF last week,
and getting full Of whisky, committed many
acts of lawessness. The Altman party, - or
10 strong, then rallied and made an attack on
the Strongs, Thirty or forty shots were ex-
changed and William and Daniel Freeman, of
the Aikman party, were perforated with bull
lets, Daniel fatally. The Aikmans then took
refuge in the court house, where the court be-
ing in session, was driven out in dsmay Dur.
ing the night the Aikmans left town.
Next day Tuesday, the Strongs paradcd the
streets, creating general terror. In the after
noon it was reported that guard, who had
been sent to Lexington to bring Il prisoner
named Jason Little to be tried for wife muir
der, was approaching and that an effort would
be made to release the prisoner. A willing
leader of the rescucrS was found in c. b. Allen,
"A justice of the peace, who soon collected
about forty ruifians around him. Judge Ran
dali, to defeat the mob, had the deputy sheriff
summon posse of II to aid the approaching
guard, under the leadership of County Judge
Burnett. The prisoner arrived about o'clock
and was safely lodged in Jail, no effort being
made to rescue him: but AS the guard was re-
firing vollcy was poured IN upon them and
Judge Burnett fell pierced through the heart
A general tusilade now opened on both sides,
the Altman party re-appearing on the scene
and taking part. The town remained IN pos
session of the ruans up to latest accounts,
the peaceabc citizens fleeing for their lives
Judge Randall adjourned the court on We'd
nesday morning indefinitely and fled with the
rest. AT latest accounts the number of killed
had reached thirteen, but there having been no
dispatches since Thursday of last week it is
by this time THE cruel war is over"

that the issue of paper by the government in

Perhaps it is generally known that the wool

The public school, under the management
of Miss F. A. Mott, is progressing finely Our

Although our town has no churches, yet for

minister at Ottawa An effort is being mace
to have him preach IN this place next year as
