A panther is said to be roaming the woods
in the bottom south of Richmond. 1t Is all
a mistake, however. There is no panther
IN the woods of Ray or Carroll counties,
but q tiger in each town. To avoid meeting
with a wild animal all the people OF that Sec
ton should come over to Lexington to trade.
Speaking Of what can be done In these
days Of wonder and improvement, don't for
get that we take a hand in some of these
marvellous events. The of.hand way we
have of doing things would astonish the
biggest astonisher In the world, and the en-
ormous quantity OF dry goods, notions, car
pets. oll-cloths, &C., we propose to dispose
of this fall ID to be the wonder Of the age.
Come in and help us perform this miracle.

roughs went to the second ward school yard

noyance Of the neighborhood. The next day
q moke was standing on the corner of Poplar
and RIdgewsy street when a country darkey
came along. The moke asked him II he was
not s'the niger" WIN cursed him q few days
before. The darkey said he was not. The
moke pulled out q razor and said eyes you
are." and started toward him.. The country
darkey lit out, and perhaps saved his life By
doing so.
In another column will be found Mr.. John
Endres' advertisement of his Grape Greek
distillery. Grape Creek Is one of the finest
brands of land made, sour mash whisky
that has ever been made In America. 1t Is
as fine as silk, and upon its reputation Mr..
Endres has advanced to the front rank in his
business. For family n medical use there
is no whisky which surpasses this for purity
and fine flavor. Mr.. August Selling will al
ways keep 1t in stock, and has shown judg-
ment and enterprise In securing such good
goods, even though be must pay q little
more for 1t than for ordinary kentucky
brands.
The lecture Of Prof. Reid, at the Baptist
church, last Sunday night, drew q crowded
house. The subject, Science and the Bible,
Is one In which all thinking persons are in
terested. The speaker asserted that the more
recent scientific discoveries have not con-
tradlcted the bible at all, but have only made
its truth more manifest; that science has
been eighteen hundred years finding out
what the bible said was true. He did not
believe we had any right. to bind the bible
down to any castiron Interpretation OF
words to mean simply twenty-four hours
when 1t says 'ths morning and the evening
were the first day." He thought 1t probable
that these days were millions of years In
length. He followed the subject of evolu.
ton from the beginning up to the angelic
standard of man n though we did no,
believe q particle Of this doctrine, we admit
that In his gradual ascent from the sponge
to the present man, he presented the matter
very plausibly, and perhaps staggered the
fixed opinions Of some. Prof. Reid exhibit.
ed two maps, one showing the ages OF the
different strata OF the earth, and the other
showing the ages aud evelopment of vege
table and animal life. The large audience
listened attentively till the close, though
there were necessarily many terms which
they could not understand. Prof. Reid,
voice is not strong, but is peculiarly dis
tinct, and he was we'll understood all ovel
the house. ihe lecture is full of interest
and exhibits a great deal of hard study or
the part OF Its author.
