Gamers drug store. The portrait
was drawn by his wife, who had been
taking drawing lessons for only one

highly OF her aptness and talent as an
artist and of the skill of the teacher,
Miss Tyler.

W. WALTER BELL, Teacher,
We publish another chapter on the
Grange matter to-day. Our cores
pondent asks US, in rather dogmatic
terms, why we estimated the number
of hogshcads that would go to Lou
isville at 400, and why we did not
mention an obligation of the Board
of Trade. In reply to the first we
will state that we named the above
figures because the crop is short
one and because we believe that some
of the Grange tobacco win, from
both personal and other considera-
tons, be sold in IIopkinsville. This
estimate was concurred in by one OF
the most prominent Changers in the
county, before ii appeared in the pa
per, and we still think 1t was moi
an unfair one. Further, the Board
of Trade did not enter into an obi.
CATION, but merely repealed a bylaw
passed expressly to apply to thu
Grange tobacco, at the request of tn,
warehousemen. We can scarcely
understand the warning of 'Be

course has been and will still be open
fair and neutral in the matter ant
we are conscious of having dom
nothing to incur the censure o
either side. AS a disseminatorof tn
news, the South Kentuckian coul,
notin justice to its readers, let so i'm
portant matter pass unnoticed.
We believe free discussion Is de
sired by both sides, and our column
are open to both Changers and ware
housemen &
