Sour money is most truly ours when
it ceases to be in our possession" Maken-
ziel Gentlemen who have been "bucking
the tiger" under an unkind moon, or wlp-
ing out "margins" that were "fornlnst"

Mr.. Mackenzie where they can see them
often.
An error of just ten years occurred in
our calculation Of the anniversary of the
battle of Belmont. The battle occurred
twenty-five years ago Tuesday. Many OF
our citizens can tell some interesting little
personal experiences of that time Some OF
them were in the guard house here, Others
in the hospital and others still under fire on
the battle field.
MIR. Jno. T. Rennie has made and put
up yesterday new boiler and smoke-stack
for his machine shop and foundry. The
boiler is much larger than the old one was,
and will overcome difficulty that was met
with formerly by furnishing enough steam
power for both foundry and machine shop
engines at the same time, which the old
boiler failed to do.
There were $50 demands made last
year upon the record and pension division
of the army for information of causes Of
death and hospital records of soldiers. This
is an increase of $3.50 over the previous
year, and denotes that the hankering for
pensions is extending to old regulars. 1t
will be soon be necessary for the country,
in self-protection, to adopt statute of lin
ltation for all pension claims.

"A stranger named Jno. Davis hung on
the horns of Paducah dilemma, and, as a
very natural consequence, got beasty
drunk. Magistrate Comings fned him 81
and costs yesterday, and took occasion to
warn him of the danger of tasting, touch
ing or handling anything Of a horny
nature that is IN the remotest degree
connected with Paducah, as everything of
such nature necessarily isintoxicating.
Unless the windows of the blue be-
yond are closed soon, so as to stop these
persistent rains over this section of country,
corn will rot in the fields. Farmers have
been waiting for week or ten days for a
chance to pull and market their corn, but
rain has interfered. Corn mills here are
out of raw material, and our commission
men, those who make grain especially, are
waiting idly and impatiently for clear sky
and for corn.
Joseph H. Bradley, lawyer of Wash
ington, who has passed his S0th birthday,
recently married Miss Mary Harris, so
years of age. The bride will be remem-
bered as the person who killed A. j. Bur-
