Litchheld, / am advised, is doing a sat
isfact0ry business, but nothing in COM
parison to the Joe Mulhattan exaggera-
tons published in the COurier-Journu.
FATAL HORSE DISEASE.

very fatal. One farmer i'm the Short

will have to import eggs If they design
raising turkeys next spring. The last
one was gulped down last Sunday.

WHATS THE MATTER?
Weddings have become entirely Obso-
lete i'm these parts-Only one since the

SABBATH SCHOOL
The Sabbath school here, under the
supervision Of Mr.. Parrish, continues
to grow in interest. Much of the sue
cess of the school should be accorded to
the teachers, who never fail to attend
and give profitable instructions to their
respective classes. Order of exercises

wards We're read last Sunday and unan-
imously adopted.
BIG TOWN.
Persons who reside at "A considerable
distance from our town can form some
idea of the size of Spring Lick, when /
say fiddling and tripping the light fan
tastic were INDUCED in IN one portion of
the town last saturday night, while
preaching and praying were going ON
in another. Both were well attended.
PERSONAL.
Miss Bette Carter, who has been
quite i'll for several weeks, is still suffer
ing great pain. Her physician enter
tains but little hope of her recovery.
Miss Jennie Davidson, "a petite brunette
from Breckinridge county, was on n
visit to our place last week, the guest of
her aunt, Mrs. !Harl.
BAL MASQUE.
A grand Masquerade ball is ticketed
for at Mayo Park, January the 9th.
LOCAL OPTION.
1t is rumOred that the anti-lOcal OPP
tiOnists will petition the County Court to
have the question re-submitted to the
voters of this and the Caneyville pre-
cinct next August election. The local
option law is good law if the people
would keep it inviolate, but the many
subterfuges to which a great many re-
sort to whip the devil around the stump,
as they term it, makes the
whiskey traffic nearly rs bad
as if there was no local option.
Now the druggists i'm this place, / do
believe, try as hard to sell whisky ac-
cording to law as any druggists in the
State, for it is very rare thing to see
man in our town under the influence
of alcoholic drinks. This ought to be
evidence prinaa Jacie. GILPIN.
