A Free Dance by Night.


Ed. SoUTn KENTUCKIAN:
About twenty steps north of the
residence of &c. Willis, in this county
is the finest shade tree in the state. 1t
is a maple. The lower limbs run
horizontally from the trunk sixty
feet in all directions and about ten
feet from the ground. The foliage of
this wonderful tree is so dense as to
form shade which no ray of noon
day sun ever pierces. The spirit
which presided over the growth of
this tree was merry spirit and fash
toned il for moonlight dances. On
last Thursday night Mr.. Willis put
this tree TO the use for which nature
intended il. lie made it an arbOr for
u moonlight or starlight dance. The
earth was smoothcd and covered with
saw dust as far out as the branches
extended but here and there tree
root or hole in the ground lent a
variety TO the monotonous smooth
ness of the round dances. Mr.. Willis
was assisted in the management of
the dance and preparation for it by
Mcssrs. George McComb, p. X. Pey-
ton and Mack Radiord. The company
was made up of the best of society
from Christian and surrounding
counties. The parlor was open dur
ing the entire evening and afforded a
comfortable retreat and resting place
for those who were friendly, but not
exceeding friendly, while rustic seats,
old stumps, door steps, stile blocks
and water strainers, arranged at con-
yenicnt distances, furnished every
convenience for those who had secrets
to tell and engagements to make or
unmake. From the bottom branches
of the natural arbor were suspended
Chinese lanterns which lent mystic
glow to the scene and, when viewed
little distance, made the dancers
look like spirits swaying to and fire.
as the atmosphere vibratcd in music
1t was somewhere near the dawn
when the last of the party left. None
know better how to entertain thar
do John Campanionable Willis and
his attractive wife. All ofus breatheC
benedictions on their heads as w
departed. May Mr.. Willis shadow
expand until its circumference shall
extend beyond the utmost his bis
tree can do, and may his years be a
many as the patriarchs ofold enjoyed

TRENTON, KY, July ., 1880.
EDITOR SouTH KENTuCKIAN:
"The game of baseball at Guthrie
Saturday between the Trenton nine
and the Clarks of this city stood
eleven to thirty-fve in favor of the
Trentous. The Trenton boys were
too large for the Clarks, who are all
quite young boys. Two of the
Trentons were of the first nine and
three of the second W ich played the
Tylers several weeks ago"
The above appeared in the Clarks'
Vile Tobacco Leaf of June 30. Now
Mr.. Editor to gets fair represents
ton of the game, and our little club
] ask the use of your columns. We, the
Trenton Dudes, met the so called
third nine of GAINESVILLE at Guthrie
as per above date; TO begin, they
actually ignored us at first, we being
so small, our average weight less thar
one hundred pounds, our ages no
exceeding an average of fifteen years
There was not single boy ofthe frs
or second nine as is charged by thu
Leaf. The whole truth of the matter
is, Clarksville has been so badly don't
up of late, they thought they woult
lump on us little fellows and pount
the cover off our ball, but no, W.
turned the tables to the tune OF thirty
five to ten in favor of Trenton. The
best playing done on our side wa
by Earnest Clayton, who plays shor
stop, catching fully a dozen liners
without an error, and as the Lea
charges, "too large for the CIarks''
Well to give an idea of this wonder
fullarge player, l have gone to TIN
trouble to weigh him, and ilnt
him tipping the beam at 60 pounds
his age being thirteen years. AS t
how large the men from Clarksvill
were, l will only refer to the goo
people of Guthrie. A goodly numbe
of them witnessing the game; Nj
viii Day of that place kindly actin
as umpire. I am sorry to have
write this, but do it in behalf of GU
little club. AS to further controvers
/ refer to the citizens of Guthrie.

Fire Wells"

Showing that the Insurance Com
panies have paid our citizens,
in excess Of receipts $27, 489 90,
and also amount paid out from 1870
to January LIST, 1882, which is not re-
ported, but that which is reported is
sufficient to indicate to our citizens,
the imperative demand for an ade-
quate water supply for fire purposes.
AS our town failed to secure water
works and the fire cisterns now in
use are inadequate, by reason of
there being only four or five, and
these scattered so as not to furnish
water supply in case Of fire even in
the business portion of the city, /
would suggest that our citizens in
terest themselves in this matter, as
it is of as much Importance 10 them as
to the companies, and solicit Of our
councilmcn the sinking of at least 20
additional fire cisterns in favorable
localities, so that in case of another
sweeping fire, the engine and fire
department (Which is ample) will
not be hampered in their commend
able efforts, by insufllciency of water.
Unless something is done. we will
awaken to realization of what
"Water Tax means, which we as
the representatives of the insurance
companies desire to avoid for our
patrons in Ilopkinsville.

old bag known as Mag Lynch. She is
feared and hated by the neighborhood,
and threats have often been made by

ut once passes around that old Mag has

being asked to cure the girl, tie bag re-
fused to do thing, and physician
was called from Oroville. After max

powers of witchery. He said thata

flicted, and all he could do would give
the poor beast no relief. He then
brought the animal TO Chico and put it

lie said To a reporter yesterday: There
Is a mistaken notion in the States about
cowboys. They are no more and no
less than herders and drivers OF cattle.
There are probably fifty or sixty of
them on ranch. When they have y
time off and visit town they are reckless
aud careless, but when on duty are the
be Of mea TO come in contact with.
OF course they are always ready with
their guns. and are good shots, but then
they are generous 10 fault. Without
an exception. hardly, every cowboy
carries two revolvers, but ii is only when
drunk that theyuse them knew one.
Slap-Jack Bill, of Arizona, who would
90 into saloon and amuse himself by
shooting all the gla ware 10 pieces.
The next morning he would go round
and pay for the damage. a rustler is
different from a cowboy. A rustler i a
fellow who steals horses and cattle.
Cowboys are rather inclined to tanta-
lie tenderfoot. as they esll newcom-
era from the States, by shooting at their
feet, making them buy drinks, and so
