DIxoS KY, May 5, 1879.
Eiitor Times
Our little town was thrown into
considerable excitement Sunday night
over the shooting of DIR. j. L. Haynes
by +. l.. Price. DIR. Haynes had
been defeated in last Saturdays con-
yention for the Legislature. Mr.. Price
took very active part in defeating
Haynes. Had been an old grudge
between them; and very severe threats
made by Haynes caused Price at all
times to 60 prepared. Coming up in
town on Sunday night, he met with
Haynes who began on him about his
Saturdays work. Price giving back
and telling Haynes, son and Others,
to keep him back, or he would kill
him. Haynes rushed on, Price drew
his pistol and shot him through the
thigh, making very ugly flesh wound.
Price had his examining trial to-day,
and was held over in $500 bond to
await the action of the Grand Jury.
Most every one justifes Price in his
course, and believes the Grand Jury
will fail to indict him, as he was act
ing IN self defense [-Madisonville
Times.
DIR. Haynes is well know here, hav-
ing taught several sessions of school in
Hartford. y

Editor Herald:
We have made several visits to Louis-
vile, and we are well aware that an ex>
cursion to the city means, to the ladies,
an opportunity to see the fashions of the
great metropolis of Kentucky, TO prome-
made through the great bazaars in which
ashton makes its dwelling, and to shop
at the thronged counters, with our city
friends. where we obtain such rare bar
gains. We contemplated another trip
soon to purchase our-must | say-ho
would it look in print-bridal trousseau,
but home patronage is our first incenti 'e,
and as we were attracted by the beautiful
displayed advertisement OF Anderson 8
Bazaar, we made a visit to your town.
Now Mr.. Editor as we have always been
the very best of friends, and confidential
ones too, and if you will suppress names
until cards are ont, we will say few
words for the benefit of many of your
lady readers.
When we first visited the Bazaar we
were impressed with that colossal spirit
of enterprise which characterizes your
energetic merchant. Mr.. A. Everything
is so admirably arranged, that bird's
eye view is sufficient to convince you that
every conceivable article that lady
could wish is there. Lovely spring hats,
dress goods a speciality. embroideries in
the latest designs, ladies ready y>made
underwear, real torchon. and thread
laces. parasols, furs, ties, ribbons, flow
err, kid gloves in every shade, lace mitts,
the latest style. and the dalnliest slippers
and hose. In fact my visit to the Bazaar
did away with the necessity OF trip to
the city, as we were supplied, even with
the spring silk, the tule vel! and orange
blossoms, and the love of bonnet.
To Fortunes favored ones. "Ander-
sons Bazaar" offers manifold attractions
in its choice and rare styles pertaining to
the wardrobe, and personal adornment,
and TO those in moderate circumstances,
opportunity is given for display OF the
same refinement of taste in humble OBJ
iects.
The ailabe manner in which Mr.. AN
derson, and his clerk, Mr.. Coffman, show
you their goods, which is no trouble, is
more than equivalent to personal trip
to Louisville.
For favors. tender to you and Mr..
Anderson, my best wishes for your hap
piness aud prosperity. Hoping to see
yon both with your wives on tho
day Of. Respectfully,
