A Pretty Good Scheme.

A baby in a dry goods store will be-
have itself very well for half an hour,
but at the end of that time it will in
variably become impatient and fretful,
and hard indeed is the lot OF mother
compelled to care for kicking, fights
ing baby, while buying bill of goods.
sympathy for mothers thus situated has
prompted the proprietor of Anderson's
Bazaar to suspend beside his counter a
baby jumper, into which the baby is
placed while the mother does her
trading in comfort, and the most serene
and happy being you ever saw in the
world is that baby in the jumper. A
large majority of them wouldn't care
if corn was four dollars bushel, and
would go fast asleep under the most
eloquent preaching if you'll only put
them in jumper. Take your baby to
the Bazaar, and while they enjoy the
jumper, buy the cheapest bill of goods
you ever bought in the whole course of
your life.

and id s-n of Abb from three to
five times, and picked up brick-bat To
defend himself with. Naught told him
that he could not carry the rock al
ways, and also in response To some of
the insults offered called \. "A liar. and
that ended it. That evening in going
down the street together, Mr.. V. called
on Mr. n. To take back what he said.
which he refused Ia do, and he hit him
with AN umbrella and they had a tussle
over IL and finally both fell about the
same time near "a ditch and got up and
were separated. \. asked V. what he
hit him for AMI he said for calling him
a id s-n of b-h and hit him again
when they were again separated. Prof.

An Invention.

1t has been the object of chemists and
inventors to make machine that will
makea hens egg or something similar.
Hartford is to he honored with having
for citizen the inventor of such con-
trivance. Mr.. A. M. Barnett is the
happy man. He went with the band
to Calhoon and one night when he was
about to retire he pulled off his shoes,
something several other fair folks did
not do, and left them perfectly empty
but next morning when he hurriedly
ran his foot into his shoe he found that
secret agencies had been at work and
there was an egg therein. 1t was very
unfortunate that he should have broken
ii all over his foot, for we wanted it for
our museum.

birthday Party.

Master Luther Barnett, "a son of Mr..
John Barnett, gave party on his 10th
birthday last Thursday night. Quite a
crowd assembled in the parlor of Mr..
Barnett's handsome residence, on Wal
nut street, to attend the party, major
ity of the attendance were his play
mates and little friends, but, 10y the way,
a few Of the young ladies and gentle
men were surely not his playmates.
The amusements were dancing, candy
pulling and nut cracking. The dancing
was participated in until quite late, and
was hugely enjoyed. After wishing
him long and happy life the crowd
dispersed, greatly Pleased with the ELL
tertainment.

:. +. Wishard, State visitor of the
Kentucky Sunday School Union,
reached here last Friday. A meeting
was held in the Baptist church that
night, but the attendance was small
On Saturday night very interesting
meeting was held and the attendance
was some larger. Mr.. Wishard gave a
talk Sunday morning Oh the plan of the
work, and as Rev Mr.. Edwards was
sick, he occupied the pulpit Sunday
night and gave the audience a talk on
Sunday School work. He seems to be
an earnest worker and the right man
for the place. A large number of our
citizens were absent attending the re-
union at Owensboro, and the fair at
Calhoon, which caused the audiences to
be much smaller than they would
otherwise have been. Mr.. Wishard
left Monday for Greenville.

grouped around the camp fires last

niscenses Of camp life in the most fra
ternal spirit, or dancing to the music
OF the fiddle, as they were wont To do
in the olden time. The speeches de'
livered on Friday and Saturday by
soldiers of either side but sufiiced to
emphasize the general good humor,
and to indicate-what every patriot
has longed to sea real pacification of
the sections. The people of Daviess

ferences, We'd with each other in their
efforts tn make this meeting of the sol
diers of the late war a conspicuous ex/
ample Of the declaration that peace
hath her victories no less renowned
than War"
a bountiful dinner was spread ON
Saturday, where at least 10000 or H.
