blacksmith shops and two undertake

there is a place in Kentucky that has
more pretty girls in proportion TO the
population we have not come across
il in our pcrcgrnations on this sublu-
nary sphere. Beauty is not their
only virtue. They are educated, ac-
complishcd and sensible and it is a
remarkable fact that there are few
If any old maids in the town. The
girls make such excellent wives that
they are sought after far aud near,
although the supply is scarcely equal
to the home demand, AS some Of the
boys are ready to testify.
The citizens are, as rule, church
going AMI ordcr-loving people and
while there have been, perhaps, a
hundred homicidcs in the county
within the last decade, we cannot re-
call single one that occurred in or
about Lafayette. There is considcra-
bic wealth in the town and the pco-
pie enjoy life with its pleasures and
luXurics. Taken all in all it is It
pleasant and desirable place to live
and is destined to be a. place of still
more commercial importance.

LAFAYETTE, KY.

Situated in the Southern part Of
Christian county, twXty miles from
ll0pkin vile, Clarksville and Cadiz,
is the quiet and prosperous little
town of Lafayette, with a population
of five hundred souls, including
dudes The town is surrounded by
fine farming section, and as il is the
metropolis Of quite large scope Of
country, it has grown TO be town of
no small prctenlions. Isolated from
rivers and rail roads, the people are
forced TO depend more on themselves
and the consequence is you will find
many articles in the stores of Latay-
cite that many country towns c0ntig-

ENDLESS VARIETY

Spring term of his ilouri,hing school
at Lafayette Academy. Prof. Frogg,'
is an able educator, as attcsted by tht
proficiency Of his pupils. and though
the number of matriculates at the
Academy last session was not quite
so large as during previous terms.
yet the satisfactory examination of
the pupils proved the fact that they
had been well trained and reflected
much credit upon themselves and in
structor.
The Justly deserved fame Of Mrs.
Mary Rivcs' 'magic well j. gradually
extending and the improved condi-
ton of many invalids who have
drunk this wonderful water, fully
proves the cflicasy of its medicinal,
properties. This water is no ''hum-
bug" but sovereign remedy for the
cure of dyspepsia, loss of appctite'
general debility and many other dis
orders, and he who does not believe
in the virtues of this hcalth-giving
water, has only TO test it in order TO
be thoroughly convinced that it will
do all that is claimed for it.
One of the most pleasant social
evcntSOf the season was "musicalc'
given at the residence OF DR.. A. w.

entertainment was to be given at DR..
Williams was in itself an assurance
that the affair would be a success so
the elite of lafayette were present
zen masse" to participate in the en-
joymcnt of the evening. AT the pre-
scribed hour the spacious parlors of
the Dr.'s beautiful residence were
filed with young people, attracted
thithcr by the prospect of spending a
short time of unalloyed pleasure, and
the most sanguine expectations of the
guests were fully realized.
Pleasant converse and delightful
dancing to the strains of sweetest
music, occupied the swiftly flying
hours until the sturdy clock on the
mantle proclaimed the time for de-
parturc. Thus closed an occasion of
much enjoyment for which the kind
host AMI hostess deserve the unbound
ed gratitude of all present. May
the tcdium of existence be soon re-
lieved by other and similar entertain
mentS.
On the night after the school exam
nation Lataycttc's beautiful young
ladies and handsome gentlemen AS
srmblcd within the friendly halls of
the Academy building to indulge IN
the delights ofa "Levee." For some
weeks society had been all agog over
the coming of this pleasant annual
entertainment and expectations of
royal fun were entertained. Hap
PLY no one was disappointed, as
from 8 p. m. to Up. IN. such exquisite
pleasure, as only these glorious rcun-
ions can give, was enjoyed by those
present, and all agree in pronouncing
the affair one of the most delightful
of its kind that has ever been given
in Lafayette.

TIE MERCHANTS.

BY reference to the columns Of the
TINES it will be seen that there are u
number of successful business firms
doing business in the town. The
merchants carry large and well sclec-
ted stocks and almost everything is
embraced in them and the people Of
Lafayette enjoy the advantages of
city stores without going out of their
town. Nowhere do we find more
courteous and gcutlemanly dealers,
or more widc-wakc and energetic
citizens than Lafayette boasts.
