circumstances will admit, dresses her chill
1ren with care; every mother who is any

Of their health, will of course be thought
hIdt their welfare. But there is thought

houghtluIness of the principles-the NOR

even moment he is learning all the
time; his watchful eyes, his attentive ears,
are gathering in with rapidity that is as

lad who bears the impress of your features
upon his face, will make or unmake the

TIE BRITISH FORCES STILL
SCATTERED.
The Facts About Gordon's Death.

KoRTI, Feb. 17.-Advices from Abu
Klea, near Gubat, state the enemy is
receiving guns and re-inforcements
from Khartoum, and Mahdi has Or
dered all tribes in the vicinity to as
semble Immediately and attack the
British forces at that point.
Gen Gordon's trusted messenger,
George, has arrived at Abu Klea
lie says almost all native accounts
agree that Gen. Gordon, finding him
sell. betrayed, made rush for the
magazine near the Catholic mission
building. Finding the rebels already
in possession, he returned to the Gov
ernment house, and was killed trying
to re-enter. Rebels were admitted 10
KhartOum at 10 at night, the 18th of
January. Another account says Gen.
Gordon rushed toward the magazine,
intending to explode it, ana thus pre-
vent ammunition, of which there was
tons, falling into the hands of enc
mics. The Arabs quickly realized
= his intention, and shot him dead.
The Command of Metemneh asked
Ell Mahdi for guns and ammunition,
as he is unable to fight the English
with spears. The Mahdi replied
"Don't fight: wait awhile, and will
come and destroy the intidels." Lat
est reports deny Gen. Stewart is in a
critical condition. lie is reported do
ing well.

Preparing For March.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Some idea
of the size of the pension building,
where the biggest inaugural ball
ever given in this country will be
held OH March 4, may be got from
the fact that st. Peters, at Rome,
holds about $1,000 persons, while the
pension building will hold about
$1,000. Just now it is a wilderness
Of scaffOlding, but order is coming
out Of chaos as if by magic. On
Monday the canvas roof was put on.
ITS like double A tent, with three
great roof trees to support it besides
an ingenious continuance to hold it
in place. No such ballroom was
eyer dreamed of as that of the great
courtyard rooted over. tits surround
ed by large balconies supported by
lApiliars. The space under these bal
comics makes a magnificent promo
made.
The president will enter the room
by the north door, which will be
draped with crimson silk curtains.
The opposite door will be concealed
by gigantic mirror. These entran-
ces are really carriageways, SO their
size may be imagined. The decora-
ton will be of the most expensive
material. The New York contrac-
tors have insured the decorations for
$4,000. The balconies will be hung

municauOn or business intercourse
than there is between Cadiz and
llopkinsville, are sustained. 1t is
thought by some that the patronage
would wear out as the "new wears
Off" If its patronage was a matter
of pleasure then that would doubtless
be the case but it would be a matter
ofbusiness mainly. This lisa business
age and the people would soon be-
come educated up to. its usefulness.
Such an Enterprise would prove TO
be both profitable and useful. Other
towns of less population and less
capital than Cadiz have the use Of
the telephone and are moving on
with their various enterprises. Let
us arouse from our lethargy and lis
enno longer to old fogies and chronic
croakers. We must do this or be left.

THE COON BARBER ANSWERED.
lIorKINsvILLE, KY, Feb. Is, IS.

1ioPKINsvILLE, KY, Feb. Is, 50.
Ed. SoUTH KENTuCRIAN:
Thanking you for past favors in
allowing he space in your most va
liable paper, l now desire TO hid my
antagonist farewell through your col
uinns, mean the Coon Barber, who
signs his name w. w. Gray. He
asserts that a certain number of MEM
bers called for letters from the Vir-
ginia street Baptist church and were
refused, among whom he mentions
Wyatt Watt, who was in our shop
this morning and said in the presence
of Sam Hawkins and Robert Jones
that he wyatt Watt was at the
church meeting and W. W. Gray
the Coon Barber, was not. And
says what lie states is untrue, that he
(WatN did not call for any letter,
and that no such resolution passed,
that the Coon Barber says passed.
Now the public can see that this Com
Barber has exerted all of his power
and made himself a target, OH what
some body else has seen fit to tell
him. Oh for a light TO know friend !
Well l would have given it TO you if
you had asked me. There are seven
deacons and over a hundred MEM
bers who will testify to what / said
about the resolution being true.
Now he says that l think when | put
my hat on | think l have put it Oh
the only well developed head in
Christian county. Now everybody
who knows anything at all knows
that is not so, but when the people
want well developed heads, l know
they would Tot put the hat on the
Coon Barber, because his head never
will develop. Now as he, W. W.
Gray, the Coon Barber, has falsified
l will point him to the Lamb of
God who takes away the sins of the
world that he may get pardon before
he shall hear the voice of the ever
lasting Messenger saying "CoOn Bar
Der it's too late! too late! you have
sinned away the day of grace"
Now you are an ex-deacon of the
Virginia Baptist church and you re-
signed because Wyatt Watt and my
self were elected over your head to
represent said church in the General
Association of the Missionary Bap-
lists of Kentucky last August. Say
would you undertake to deny that?
Wei of course not, because you
know you told the church so.
Now in conclusion if l were you
1 would take lesson from the
Ground Hog. l. would 90 in my hole
and stay forty days and come out
and say to the public "rhe next time
l write l will say what 1 do know,
and testify what L have seem" am
your friend in the right.
