farmer who was probably not expect
ing such good luck as he was not
present at the drawing.
Dick Holland drew the baby rattle
OIL the first round.
Three lady subscribers were
amongst the lucky ones.
Hopkinsvile got fifteen premiums,
but all the larger ones, excepting the
sewing machine, went to the country.
Billy Cross, who drew the sewing
machine, is the leader of the Hop
kinsville COrnet Band and a member
of the firm of Cross, Quicker Il Dryer,
of this city.
Clarence Gold, who drew The wag-
on, is young gallant, of Clarksville,
who has a sweetheart in this city.
All premiums not called for in 30
days from Oct. 9th will be considered
forfeited.
The premiums not already deliy-
cred are held subject to the order of
the owners and they will be expected
to foot all expenses Of storage, etc,
until called for. Premiums at dis
lance will be shipped at the expense
Of the owners, as soon as we receive
instructions and directions.
Not word of dissatisfaction has
been expressed so far as we know.
OF course many were disappointed.
but all who witnessed the drawing
were convinced that 1t was perfectly
fair. No one knew or could know
who held the lucky numbers until
the announcements were made.
We desire to return our sincere
thanks to.a generous public for the
very liberal patronage extended to
u, which enabled us to give away
1870 in premiums TO our subscribers.
We added 100 new names TO our lis
last week, and we now have the larg-
est paid-up subscription list OF any
paper in Western. Kentucky, and if
any one doubts the truth Of the asser-
ton we challenge a comparison of
books. Advertisers will please bear
this in mind, remembering, at the
same time, that our rates are 33l5 per
cent cheaper than many papers of
Nfar less value as advertising me-
diums.
Those of our subscribers who were
fortunate we congratulate, and those
who were not need not feel disap-
pointed as they have lost nothing, but
will receive paper worth more than
the price paid. Our only regret is
that every subscriber could not draw
a premium.

Taylor Ashmore and Collins Cra-
mar became involved in a difficulty
last Monday about a wagon trade,
when Ashmore struck Cranar two
or three blows in the face with his
fist, whereupon Cramar stabbed ASH
more twice in the left side. Cramar
had his examining trial yesterday,
the 9th, before Esqs. Fuller and Hall.
There were only two witnesses in the
case; one stated that Ashmorc struck
Cramar with his knife, the other
witness stated that Ashmore dropped
his knife. Both stated that both par
ties had their knives in their hands
when the row began. The case was
submitted to the decision of jury
who decided that evidence was not
sufficient to bind him to court and
Cramar was released Ashmore
suppose is able to go about.

to go as,he offered her a liberal price.
She reached Tow's house, a hut sur
rounded by dense forest, soon after
dark, found nobody at home. Tow
told her there was not family in
five miles of the place and the only
chance was to stay all night. She
begged him to take her back to a
house they had passed, lie closed
the door signifying that he had the
advantage of her and would use it.
She made her way to the door. lie
grabbed at her as she went out and
got her bonnet and gloves. He fol-
lowed after her and tried to coax her
to come back. She stopped long
enough to pull off her shoes that she
might make her escape more easily.
She was making her way back until
she had met with some negro men
that were hauling coal, and in giving
them the dodge she lost her way and
wandered through the woods until
she found herself at Mr.. Guthrie's.
The affair has caused great sensa-
ton in the neighborhood. Tow de-
MES the charge, but it is generally
believed that the girl related the sto-
ry as it was. A crowd of men went
to Tow's house last Sunday night and
fired of their guns in a threatening
manner and then went in the house
and notified Low to leave the country
within ten days. This probably gave
rise to the rumor that Tow was in
danger of being lynched. Tow has
made arrangements to leave within a
day or two.

The FAIR.

The Fair was not an improvement
on its predecessors, excepting in
the Floral Hall Department. The
display there was the finest for years.
The races were of little interest and
the social feature of the Fair was
by far the most interesting. The di-
rsetors did all iii their power 10 make
it success and no doubt they sue
c,eded better than they anticipated
but it must be confessed that our
people are growing too Indifferent
about these annual exhibitions. They
should be the pride of the county and
the people should strive to make each
display more attractive than the pre-
ceding ones.
The attendance on the two frs
days was small, but the crowd was
good on Friday and Saturday and
the best feature of all was, there was
no dust.
