Married, on the 1lth inst, al the resi-
dence Of +. 5. Hood, Shelby City, BY Rev.
+. r.. Burr, 5. G. Brown 10 Miss Belle Jen-
kins. The principals in the above affair
are from Hustonville, and the bride q rela-
tive OF Mrs. Hood. II seems 10 be quasi
runaway affair, a. we learn the father OF
the bride objected to his daughter becom-
ing BrSvA. But she. being twenty-one
years Of age, asserted her determination as
above stated.
1t is not generally known that a town
Marshal is placed by the Statutes Of Ken
lucky upon the same ground a. 10 eligi-
hility for Office a. that Of a Sheriff of a
county. Each are elected every two years,
and after two successive terms are ineligi-
BILE until one term interviews. Simply re-
signing before their second term expires
does not make them eligible for the third
term. At least such Is a recent decision
Of the Court Of Appeals.
Last Monday a young woman who
gave her name as Emily Gibson got OF the
L. and n. train at Shelby City, and after
dining at "Doc" Cofee's went to The drug
store Of X. L. Reynolds 4 Son, where she
called for an ounce OF laudannm, saying
she had a severe headache. From the
drug store she went to Mr.. Kinder's, a
short distance from town. where sometime
during the night she drank the laudanum.
Early Tuesday morning she was disco YER
ed apparently in lifeless condition. DIR.
Vanarsdsll was Immediately summoned,
who promptly administered the proper an
tidotes, when the woman was partially re-
stored to consciousness, but her physician
thinks her recovery doubtful. Miss Glib
son was evidently bent upon suicide. She
is from Stanford, where she lived at Wes-
ley Rours.
We have often heard Of moonshine
dislilleries and have seen several, but UNI
Ill last week, while in the mountains Of
Laurel county, We never saw a moonshine
bsr-room. In deep hollow or ravine be-
tween two mountains, surrounded by a
dense underground, we suddenly came up
on what at first sight looked like pile Of
logs that had been struck by lightning.
from which proceeded sweet strains Ofmusic
Upon closer investigation we found a man
lying on the ground in one corner Of the
log pen theoretically drawing his bow
across an old fiddle. while in the center
stood hewed log set on four legs, form
ing a rude table, upon the top Of which
was a Jug Of mOonshine whisky and an old
oyster can for glass, completing the entire
paraphernalia Of the saloon. Upon the
side Of log, Just under where the Jug was
placed, was the following, chalked with a
hre-coAl: "Cash tu-ds; kredit tu-morrer."
Upon small dogwOod sapling near by
was written "Bar-room" on one side and
saloon" on the other. All the letters in
the two words seemed 10 be on a spree, or
/ 10 have lust gotten of one. as most OF them
were boItom-upwards. Upon interrogat-
ing the proprietor, we learned that while
out the day before replenishing his jug
some unthoughted persons came TO his
house and tore il down. "But," said he,
~ will have barrel in few days, and
will then put up my house again" We
ventured 10 inquire his price per drink for
his moonshine and was told ten cents. We
then suggested that his oyster can was
large and that he might be imposed upon
by some Thirsty individual. "Well," said
the fellow, "d-n 'em, ef they can stand to
drink her full, kin"
