The Sunday Law was pretty generally
respected in our city.
The Park will be opened as soon as

The oat crop is looking remarkably

A bright and pretty little girl, the

Since the Sunday Law has gone into
effect, there seems to be some confusion
as to how far this law extends and
where the line is to be drawn. Does
it extend to the dairy man and there
fore stop his dairy wagon on SundayY
Does it extend to the bakers, the ice
men? And again, does it extend to the
railroads! Or where is the limit or line
to be drawn3
The annual exhibition of the Blue
Grass Sheep Breeders Association came
off in the Courthouse yard Saturday. A
great many very fine sheep from other
counties were present. The list of prem
iums was large. They were the finest
lot of sheep we ever saw. The fleece
from one of them, belonging to Mr.. R.
G. Eslil, Of this County, weighed 19f
pounds.
We hear nothing more said about the
Floral Hail that was talked of being
built at our beautiful Fair Grounds.
We hope that this is not all talk, as it
will add very much to the appearance
and lend facility for exhibiting flowers,
paintings, ETC., the want Of which has
been very much needed and felt, and we
hope very soon to see it under contract
and course of construction.
The Odd-feliows of this city celebrated
tine anniversary of the establishment of
the order in the United States yesterday
evening. There was good turnout and
fine display. Wolf & Trost's Band
discou rsed fine music. They repaired to
the Opera-house, and were addressed by
Rev. J. w. Venable, and was also enter
tained by several ballads from Mr.. Gar
land Hale, which were well received and
highly appreciated.
1t will be but a short time now until
one of the largest Church Conventions
will assemble in our city that ever visited
us before, variously estimated at from
eight hundred to one thousand divines
their wives and other citizens. They
will be cordially greeted with hearty
welcome, which will be extended to
all, and they will receive the warmest
hospitality of our city. Active prepa-
rations are being made by the local COM
mlttee, with gratifying results. Persons
who can accommodate any of these Wis
itors should report to the local commit
tee at onee, stating how many they can
accommodate, &c. 1t is our duty,
whether of the same denomination or
not, or even whether we belong to any
church or not, to make the visitors of
our city as comfortable and as much at
home as we can during their short stay
with US.
We regret very much that we mad
vertently did Messrs. Bosworth & Son
an injustice, and accordingly bow our
acknowledgements. 1t is no part Of our
desire to injure any one; it is neither
in consonance with the paper we repre-
sent, nor in accordance with our own
taste and inclination.
The mistake was very natural one,
and we will explain: Messrs. Bosworth
& Son were not long since proprietors Of
the Southern Hotel, and lately having
taken the proprietorship Of the Ashland
House, advertised the Southern Hotel
for rent, and we, knowing them as pro-
prietors of the Ashland House, hearing
that they were going to rent their house
out, very naturally supposed it was the
Ashland House.
We have high and kind regard fol
Messrs. Bosworth g. Son. There is not
better, more polite or more accommo-
dating hotel keeper or nicer, clever gen.
tleman personally than is Mr.. Bosworth
The Ashland House under his manage
ment is doing splendid business. They
have won for themselves large share Of
public patronage and favor, and deserve
to do well and have our best wishes witt
