s. P. Harrod is preparing to build
a neat little cottage on his place he
purchased a short time ago from Jno.
Cox.
The good people of this community
are now building a neat schOOl-hOuse,
which is one good step in the right
direction.
Henry Morrison proposes to supply
the people of our city with nice steak
and roast beef every week. 1t will
be very convenient.
g. M. Y. Hitter, an old resident of
Owen county, was in our town last
week looking as young as he was
forty years ago, we suppose.
G. F. Taylor and VIM. Peyton went
fishing last week and caught some

very much enjoyed by them after
cooking.

Monterey. Sunday-schOOl at 8 p. M,
prayer meeting every Saturday night.
Everybody invited to participate.
The POlsgrove Church will soon re-
ceive such repairs as to make it nice
and comfortable for the winter. We
like to see people all mean business
and working in the right direction.
John Ellington, from Owen cOun-
ty, will soon erect aSteam Grist Mill,
which investment we think will
prove quite profitable. We will glad
ly welcome Mr.. Ellington to our

goods of every description imagina-
bic, they invite all to come and see
them.

blacksmith shop, and invites his

line is wanted.
Some of our good citizens think
they will soon have good iron
bridge spanning Flat Creek at her
mouth. We do certainly hope their
prOphesy may be true for it is thing
badly needed.
We have ever prOphesied that Polls
grove would soon be on the boom, as
the community in general are
pretty well fixed, and lands are rs
good as can be found anywhere in
the country. So we now see her fast
climbing the steep, and we think in
few short fieeting years her inhabi-
tants can be counted by thousands.
We attended the Centennial at
Frankfort and certainly had a most
delightful time. We ercurted on the
elegant and beautiful Steamboat,
Blue Wing, which Is palace. 1t
was beautifully decorated and the
strains of sweet music flOated out on
the soft night air, tending to make all
remember for what purpose they
were going. The noble and gallant
Capt. Anderson and his most estima-
BILE lady spared no means to make
every one enjoy the occasion, in
which they fully succeeded and re-
turning we found some of Kentucky's
fairest daughters and a number of
polite gentlemen, and soon the re-
fined Capt. Anderson had his string
band arranged in the cabin and in
vited his guests to get partners for
the quadrille, and number accept
ed the kind invitation. After a few
hours of most exquisite enjoyment
we arrived at our homes. In fact the
whole occasion was one to be remem-
bered through theages Ofeterpity We
the Capt. and his pOli<. officers,
Sid. DOuthitt and Dave Upper, our
earnest and sincere thanks for their
unlimited kindness and trust to be
able in the near future to reciprOcate
it fully. Zempas ftgit, Imust desist.
"Long live the Blue Wing"
