There is n man engaged in The tie
business here who was IN Reno 5
command when Custer and his lol-
lowers were butchcred by Sitting
Bull aud his red devils. This man
knew Custer well, stood guard at his
tent. 1t is Interesting TO hear him
talk of thu, world famous yellow
haired hero, who calling fought and
fighting fell" away out yonder to-
ward tho sitting sun. We intend TO
interview him extensively aud write
il all out for the South Kentuckian us
soon as possible.
Corn is selling rapidly here for
~ w per barrel. There is not innch
here TO sell. Last summer we had
too much agitation OH the Greenback
question, people sat around saloons
and Whitfield pine and talked politics
instead of hauling corn and saving
wheat. We tell you again, young
man, this will not do. 1t you want
money go to work for it; here is the
secret in money getting Work !

however seductive ii may be, is q
madman, maniac, u fool. We do
not believe in worshipping money,
but we do most seriously believe IN
owning enough of this worlds goods
TO b. independent. We arc too
proud spirited to be dependent OH
others for the bread that we eat or
the clothes that VIC wear. We know,
yonng man, that we are right Oh this
question, although we may be wrong
ON all others. Il
Say, Charlie, while we think ofit
is Shortfellow the man that married
some of your folks recently? Do
you know of any more female folks
who would like to go and do like
wise? If SO send 'cni down this way

Happy are those who thus conform

We are ready TO marry now, have
been getting ready for many long,
dreary dark years. LA! wouldn't II
be funny for us to marry! Well, we
never saw but one girl we wanted
snd she-oh she ate cabbage and
we found it out and went back on
her, and we tell you now, fair reader,
that VIC are glad of 1t.
We are sorry those Northern States
went Republican. We are for Grant
first, last and forever for President
aud VIC are afraid the Republican
party will come 10 the conclusion that
they can elect any body aud will not
nominate him.
There are only Xix birds.on 10000
