The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1885-02-04

Gift Distribution. The Court. house
where the distribution took place, was
packed and jtmmed With humen ity,
from Il root-wad man up to the devel.
Oped flower of wOmaIhOod, from urchin
To grandsire, from Hardup To Dives.
The best of order and perfect good
humOr prevailed. First-rate music dis.
cOursed by the Hartford Cornet Band,
entertained the assemblage and en-
livened the scene.
Judge Baird by request acted az presi.
dent of the meeting, to preserve deco
rum and decide disputes should any
arise. Before taking the chair he made
few appropriate remarks. Mrs. j. War
rem Barnett, for procuring the largest
club of subscribers to the HERALD, was
presented handsome sewing machine
by Mr.. II. b. Kinsolving in neat
speech in our behalf Capt. Sam f..
Hill fittingly responded for Mrs Bar
nett. After "A due explanation as to the
manner of procedure. the fun com
menced, at half past one o'clock. The
organ popped out right at the be-
ginning, surprising everybody and
causing a concert of CALCULATIONS very
similar to distant thunder and expires
sive of displeasure and disappointment
the lucky man not being present. The
gold watch and the sewing machines
were drawn at well distant intervals
The frequent and generally irrelevant
draws of the Hand and Horse books
produced much amusement. The bug
gy staid in until one amongst the very
last revolutions of the impartial wheels,
when forth it came, and another sound
as of distant thunderiwas elected, deeper
this time, for again the lucky man was
not present; and then, to continue the
comparison, the thick cloud OF human
kind began to partly dissolve and
showers of individual drops poured out
of the door, down stairs, into the streets,
the most striking bee line for home,
the others fastening, alas to the
nearest sar-room to plunge into the OBJ
liviOus draughts OF IIethean liquor.
The majority of the crowd held
pluckily together to the end, loath to
leave. and got comfort from the balmy
strains Of the band.
Thus closed large day in Hartford,
without single untOward circumstance
except perhaps the pathetic incident
mentioned above. The HERALD is
proud that it was the agent of such an
occasion. Its circulation has been in
creased consequently, and the benefit
ola home paper more widely diffused

John l.. Barnett, Capt. Sam f. Hill,
Miss Jessie Ford, Miss Oms Smith, Mr..
