The physicians report that the
health of Owensboro and Davies coun-
ty is better now than was ever known
before at this season of the year. Prom
inent men i'm the profession say the
health of this section has been growing
much better for the past five years, and
unless there is reaction some H the
physicians will have to seek other ter
ritories for livelihood. This is the
most wholesome item we have chrOni-
cled for some time.-Messengcr.
"A number of gentlemen of Hart

other clubs might be cotton up in the
town or county, and greatly increase
the love and knowledge of literature
among the people.
The citizens of town had ii first-class
scare last "Wednesday night. A lamp
exploded in the grocery of Foster X Hill,
and such Il yell as emanated from some
ones hash tunnel, is seldom heard. We
have been unable to learn who it was,
but we are watching the death list for
his name, as it is scarcely possible that
he will survive that yell. An excited
crowd soon gathered at the scene of the
fire-sOme with buckets-some with
nothing and others had their hands i'm
their pockets. The explosion set lot
of fireworks on fire, which caused quite
a popping. Mr.. Foster smothered the
burning lamp with Bill Foreman's
sheet. We have not learned the dam
age to the sheet. The lesson of the fire
has been taken by two business houses
in that locality-they have insured.

: the bereayed family in this sad aitiic-
G ton.
u Among our most enterprising farm

a grove home of Mr.. James Collins,
- which has an air of comfort I'm Its very
