There has been a steady and sub
stantial increase in the circulation of
the SouTu KENTUoKIAN all this year

during the present month. Our sub

are already more than four times
greater than the corresponding month
last year and new subscribers are
constantly coming in, while few II
any of our old patrons fail to renew.

forts to make the SOUTH KENTUoK-
IAN model country newspaper. The
| SouTo KENTUoKIAN for 1886 will not
only be kept up to its present stand
ard, but substantial and materi al i'm.
provements will be made in the pa
per within a few days, while the price
will remain as heretofore-$2 pei
