Christian County Agricultural and
Mechanical Association.

This Association will hold its Dist an
nual fair on October LIST, End and 3rd,
which promises to equal if not sur
pass those previously held. The
premiums will be given in cash this
year, and not in silver as heretofore,
which will make a livelier interest
in competition for premiums. The
premiums offered for the various
rings are liberal, and no doubt quite
a large amount of fine stock will be
exhibited. Farmers and the public
generally should remember that these
fairs are held each year for no private
or personal interest but for the BEN
eft of the county and city, and our
people should manifest lively in
terest both in patronage and compe-
tition for premiums. For further
particulars see advertisement in an.
other column.

A special to the Courier journal
of the Goth from Morganfield, Ky =,
gives an account of a horrible muir
der in Union county. Miss Ida
Burnett, the young lady murdered
was living with an aunt, Mrs. White
worth, who lived near the Webster
county line. In the same house lived
another aunt of Miss Burnett's, Mrs.
Fowler, whose husband, Bob Fowler
had been former lover of Miss Bur-
nett, to whom she was at one time en-
gagged. The engagement was broken
off and Fowler swore vengeance
against the girl, and since she had
come to live in the same house with
him it seemed to arouse his hatred.
On Sunday afternoon the 10th, Mrs.
Whiteworth rode over to a neighbor's
to stay all night, accompanied by
Miss Burnett who lode behind her.
They reached their point of destina-
ton safely, and Miss Burnett started
back to take the horse which was the
last seen of her alive. The horse
walked up to the gate about dark
and it was at first supposed that she
