South Kentuclkian Henry Crunk, a youth
who lives at Mr.. Jonathan Armstrong;,

Saturday, while hunting. His gun was
resting in some buck-berry bushes and in
pulling it up by the barrel it was discharged.

touching the bone.

reason why good Republican paper would
not succeed in this section.
EIkton Register: The case of NJ. L. Chris
tian against the L. & N. Railroad was tried
last week, and the jury rendered decision
in favor of Christian, assessing the damages
at $1,000, but owing to an answer to some
questions propounded by defendants attor-
neys which were answered as a whole and
should have been answered separately, the
jury not being entirely to blame, the Judges
set the verdict of the jury aside, and granted
Christian the right OF a new trial should he
so desire, and so the case stands as If there
had been no trial, although it has been be-
fore the court some four or five terms.
Rev. T. G. Keene, who has been pastor of
the Baptist Church in Hopkinsville for the
past twenty years, has resigned the posi-
ton. The New Era says: The resignation
of DIR. Keene of the pastoral charge of the |
Baptist Church at this place, will almost
mark an era in his history. His letter of
resignation, besides the beauty of its compo- |
sition and the tenderness of its memories, |
was chiefly marked for the strong, undivided |
affection he bore for the people among |
whom he has SO long labored. His letter of |
resignation clearly shows that no lack of /
zeal or want of love for his people caused |
this move, but that after all these long |
years of constant service, he wishes a tenn
porary rest.
