The celebrated stallion, "Old Mack
was sold at public auction Monday and
went Off at the low sum of 500. He
was purchased by Mr.. Harry Jackson,

more premiums at stock fairs than any
horse in this end of the state, and
though somewhat old. he j. to-day
worth $500.
A lamp exploded in the house of
Mr.. J. :. Cundiff, near Buford few
days ago, and did considerable damage
to property, but no bodily injury TO the
family, who were luckily in an adjoin-
ing room at supper. The explosion was
caused by the wick being too small for
the burner, and the oil in the lamp
caught fire.
james W. Arnold, IA native of this
county, who was selling groceries in
the Flat Woods neighborhood, Butler
county, went to Caneyville one day not
long ago, and has not been heard from
since. His horse Vas found some days
afterwards in Caneyville. Fears are en-
tertained that he has been foully dealt
with. No cause is known for his leav-
ing. 1t is rumored that he left in Il
freight car, but it IL not certain. He is
about 20 years old, and son Of VIM.
Arnold, deceased.
w. \. Gordon, of Cool Springs, has
IA new boy at his house. This il his
tenth child and weighed ten pounds at
birth. He is 80 years old, and has been
married about 10 years. Four OF the
children are girls and six are boys, two
of whom are dead. The latest edition
is named for two of our good governors,
Leslie and Blackburn. Mr.. and Mrs.
Gordon are doing their share in popu-
lating the world. 1t seems, however,
that they are to have a rival in Mr.. T..
J. Smith and wife, of Bartletts, who
added two to the great sea of population
in less than two years.
