Major Henry, in his defense of
DIR. Bethany, speaking of tine vene-
rable father of the defendant, said:
"He has preached the devil clean
out of the country" This, certain
~, is gratifying news, and adds an
other feather to the cap of millena-
rians.
According to Maj. Henry. Mr..
Daniel, in his speech for the prose-
cution of the Keats case, was infeli-
citious in the use of language, using
Obligation" for persecution" This
reminds me of q certain pedagOgue
! wot of in Montgomery county. He
was examining a class In orthogra-
ply, when he gave out the word
'canine." Not spelling so readily
as he wished, he endeavored to re-
lieve the class, saying that it was ga
kind of pepper" Dog pepper, l
presume.
Last Friday was law day at Jor-
dams Springs. There was quite a
| gathering of our fellOw-citiZens,
with some from Kentucky. There
were several trials TO be held. The
court and b r were both present.
Among the lawyers present we no
ticed the familiar face of our friend,
Major Davis.
Several of our tOwnspeople have
been somewhat indisposed of late,
but none of them seriously i'll.
f. J.. Porter has recently shipped
large amount of corn from north
of the Ohio river. He sells it to his
neighbors at soc. bushel. He pur-
poses buying more, and says if he
| had surplus money he would i'm
port all the people need and sell it
to them at cost. We commend Mr..
Porter's spirit. When any article
of bread-stuffs is scarce, spectators
and others take advantage of the
restitution of the people, charging
exDrbitant prices, thereby causing
unnecessary suffering. This is wrong
and deserves the condemnation of
all. Let those who need corn en-
courage and help Mr.. Porter in his
desire to supply them at cost.
Mr.. J. E. Outlaw, of DOtsonville,
agent for the UhlhOrn marble works
of Evansville, Ind, was in our midst
on last Saturday In the interest of
the house. Heis young man of
pleasant, agreeable manners. He
was on his return from trip to Ken
lucky, where he had met with sue
cess.
Elder James Hester, of the Chris
tian church, La Fayette, KY,
preached at lakewood on last Sun
day morning and evening. He has
lately returned from an extensive
evangelistic tour occupying several
months.

We had the pleasure of listening
TO a very Instructive discourse from
Rev. r. p. Gannaway on last Sun
day afternood. His theme, Exper-
mental Christianity, was handled
in way that left no doubt as to his
mastery of the subject, or his own
personal -acquaiptance Herewith.
The fires of young manhood burn
within him, and his holy zeal for
the cause of the Master makes him
an honored and a useful preacher of
the word.
The Barbee Institute commenced
its first session this morning. The
opening was quite favorable. Par
ents and guardians, wishing for
their children and wards 6. thorough
preparatory training, regulated by
the highest moral culture, can, per-
haps, do no better than to patron
ize this school. Its local patrons
join the principal in saying that it
shall be the superior of any school
within the district, and Inferior to
none in the county.
