Ed. SOUTH KENTUcKIAN:
Several parties from Clarksville
paid our town a visit this and last
week, among whom we noticed
Messrs. j. 9. Kendrick, VIM. Dority
and VIM. Turnkey, all in the interest
of tobacco. tr t'
Quite an enjoyable surprise party
was given at the residence Of II. j.
Cooper, last Monday Eve. Although
the weather was very unfavorable
several parties from the country
"Braved the Storm" and at an early
hour the fun began. Miss Sallie
Tuck favored us with some very fine
vocal and instrumental music.
QuERRY: How long does Will
Cooper "Hold the Position" before
he begins to waltz9
Lafayette is soon 10 lose two of her
most promising and popular young
business men. We will not call their
names for then the sadness that now
hovers DER the hearts of many would
be deepened. 1t seems hard to be
parted from the friends of our youth
and the fact is especially lamentable
when we know they are beyond re-
calling. May success attend and for
tune reward you boys with whomso-
ever you cast your lot.
We understand that one Of our
young men had speech written of
TO make to the druggist of this place
not long since, but when he arrived
at the drug store the clerk was out
and he turned away signing as he
left:
A druggist man think ifhe can.
Should stay al his place OF business,
For then Pm sure he'd mahe worse or cure,
This lone boy OF his dizziness.
The good people of the town and
community gave Rev. e. e. Pate, the
pastor of NJ. E. Church South, of this
place, quite nice donation party
Thanksgiving evening, bringing
many little tokens of their apprecia-
ton of him.
Miss Ella Garth, of Trenton, KY,
and Miss Ida Ham, of Nashville,
Tenn, were visiting Miss Emma
Cooper last week.
Messrs. w. w. Fuqua and L. r.
Bogard spent a few days this week
in Clarksville.
Rev. e. L. Pate preached very
interested and instructive sermon
here OH Thanksgiving's day.
We had one mail in two weeks. II

Christmas Coming.

Ifany one doubts that Christmas
is drawing near he can quickly have
all doubts removed by dropping into
the toy and confectionery store Of A.
l.. Wilson. The collection of toys
and Christmas goods that is to be
seen in that popular establishment is
simply stupendous. A frame work
extending from the counters and
arched overhead is fairly bristling
with scores of articles TO please the
older folks and captivate the chill
dren. The large store-room is filled
in every nook and corner with toilet
sets, vases, china goods, such as cups
and saucers, pitchers, tea sets, etc.
majolica ware, work baskets, stand
baskets, brackets, picture frames
spelling blocks, building blocks, par
lor games of all kinds, wagons
doll buggies and doll furniture o.
all kinds, sleds, rocking horses, fint
French, china and wax dolls, ant
hundreds of other articles too numer
GUS to mention. His stock of fruits
candies and nuts is unusually full ant
complete. Everything is lower thi
year than last and the little folks car
make their quarters and half-dollar
go great ways. The season for Sc
Letting Christmas presents has al
ready opened and from now until tn,
holidays the rush will be immense

CURE FOE PILES.

Piles are frequently proceeded by a
sense Of weight in th0 back, loins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some at
lection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. AT times, symptoms Of
ind 3estion are present, as datulency,
uneasiness Of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, like persriration, producing
a very disagreeable itching, after get
ting warm, is a very common atten-
dant. Blind, Bleeding ana Itching
Piles yield at once to the application
of DR.. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the parts affected,

SENATOR MITCHELL, of Oregon says:
81 was not a Hayes Republican, nor
was 1 an admirer of General Garfield.
l like a robust article of politics
something that you can take pride in
and avow anywhere. l don't believe
in temporizing, or playing fast and
loose with people. The Republican
party must go back under its old lead
ership il it is ever to regain its lost
place. Men like Conkling are men to
lead. They are honest and able and
aggressive, and nobody is called upon
to defend them or to apologize for
them"

THE New York Star, writing under
the head of "MCre Scandals" in con-
nection with the persistent war being
made by the World and other journals
on certain holders of Pan Electric
stock, concludes a vigorous denuncia-
ton of the methods being employed as
follows: "The Bell Telephone company
acts as if judgment against it had al
ready been rendered, and as if it were
now standing in the pillory with the
brand of fraud upon it. In its fear and
fury it attacks the character of public
men, and even threatens to invade the
White House with its scandalous in
timidation. We venture to advise
that it be cautious. The men whom it
assails are not accustomed to yield to
threats, no matter who utters them.
But one purse is left. A vigorous
prosecution of the suit is now neces-
sary. Let all the parties meet in court
and there display their proofs"

The st. Louis Republican 9th; This
morning the weather was misty and
much colder. Quite a freeze during
the night, but as the day advanced old
Sol again asserted his power. In
consequence the thermometer ran up
rapidly, ranging about 50 above. The
prevailing opinion among those who
have made the river a study for
years is that this thaw has come to
stay, and it will be but a matter Of a
few days before the ice gorge will give
way below; in that case the ice at
this point will soon follow. Every in
dication at this time looks to a sure
and early resumption Of navigation.
$50 mought it be-" The foot passen-
gers have almost stopped crossing at
this point, in consequence Of water on
the surface Of the ice, caused by the
action Of the sun. The river raised
about three inches in the last "a hours.
The steamboat property along the
river front seems to be in safe quart
ers, being clear of ice inside and out.
and should this thaw be gradual, all
will be well but should there be 4
heavy race and a rush of ice, then look
out for trouble.

A New YORK special to the Times
Democrat dated the 9th says: Cotton
sold Monday at nine cents for mid
ding uplands for February delivery.
There was a great outrry on the cot
ton exchange when this price was
made. 1t is the lowest that has been
quoted for t~hirty.two years, except for
a brief period during the panic caused
by the failure of the Bank Of Glasgow.
At the reduced price the market
became very active. Large orders
were executed to cover contracts that
had been put out at higher prices, and
there was also brisk buying by out
siders for the rise. A struggle be-
tween the bulls and bears on the ex-
change promises to be a hot one for
the next few weeks.

SpeouIations as to Hancock's Sue
CeSSOr.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The death
of Maj. Gen. Hancock and the retire
ment Of Maj. Gen. John Pope, which
will take effect on the 9th Of March,
will cause two vacancies in this grade
of general officers and promotions all
along the line. There is already
considerable speculation in regard to
the principal vacancies. The general
impression now is that Brig. Gen.
Howard and Brigadier- General Terry,
who are first and second respectively
in line of seniority, will be made
major-generals, but the friends Of
Brigadier- Generals Crook and Miles
feel that their chances for promotion
are equally good.

THE real problem the world over is
