GARRETTsBURG, KY.

| Ed. SOUTH NENlVCKIAN:
Garrcttsburg is entitled to and
should have representation in her
county papers, 50, in order that this
neighborhOOd may not be very far
behind her sister communities, Ca
mile desires to again contribute,
from this place few items to the col
umns of Christian Co.'S better paper.
Just here your correspondent would
remark that he is not alone in think
Ing that the SouTH KENTUCKIAN is
the best publication in this section of
Ky. Mr. Editor aside from any 9TH
cr points of excellence which your
paper may have, it has very decid-
ed advantage over its local contcm-
porarics, in being a scmi-wcekly in
stead of a weekly sheet. R1ceivinG
mail at this Office only three times
per weel', our people are deprived of
the pleasant opportunity Of getting
daily news. AS the SOUTu KENTUCK-
IAN comes on Tuesdays and Satur-
days it in very great measure, sup
plies the place of the Daily Courier
journal, and is therefore gladly wei
coined as the paper that gives us the
latest news. Your enterprise is in
deed very commcndable and the rap
idly increasing circulation of your
paper, is conclusive proof of the peo-
pies appreciation Of your noble and
persevering efforts.
Camille did not intend to write Il
eulogy on the merits of the SoUTII
KENTUcKIAN and lie hopes his APP
probation of the paper may be an
excuse for his commcndatory re-
marks.
Now to the chronicling of news:

been called to the pastOrate of Olivet
church, vice w. II. Ryals resigned
and will hereafter hold service on the

Elder Kendall is a man of sound
sense and much scriptural knowledge
he docs not attempt any "rhetoricaI
fourishes or grandiloquent flights
of eloquence' but is practical and
forcible preacher and will doubtless
give entire satisfaction to his cengrc-
cation. 10 Mr.. Kendall this COM
munity extends a warm welcome and
wishes for him much success in his
new field of labor.

watch sometime during the night

ing to open his stable door, the
would-be thief being so bold as tC
light match by which to see how tC
unfasten the lock of the door, but the
rascal became frightened and fled
without having succeeded in stealing
Mr.. Whites horse. Mr.. Whites vigi
lance was indeed fortunate as ht
thereby prevented the loss of a finC
t horse. There is no class of men Sc

providers" are caught they should b(
punished to the fullest extent of tho
law.
