Some OF our contemporaries complain of
the Prohibitionists inviting churches and
Sunday-sehools to attend their temperance
picnics, because the time hasn't yet come
for the Republicans and Democrats to do
the same thing. We certainly can see no
objection 10 the latter extending such an
invitation if they so desire. 1t can't be
that the Sunday-sehools would hurt such
gatherings. can it ?-Standdrd.
We heard General Robson remark once
when the arrival of a delegation on horse
back interrupted his remarks at a mass
meeting in Salem, that the effort to hold a
circus and a Sunday school at the same
time and place had always proved failure.
Maybe that's why the RS and "D's''
don't make a practice of inviting Sunday
schools. Another thought: The Prohibi-
tionists invite the churches and Sunday
schools 10 attend their temperance picnics.
We hay'nt heard of the other parties hold
ing any of those this season. Maybe they
will when they find its going to be fashion
able.

Returns of Mondays election in Maine
come in very slowly. Reports show that
the Republican plurality will be about
$500. The vote of Clark, Prohibition
candidate for Governor, will reach 3, 200,
against l 100 for Eustis in September, 1884,
and ., 100 for st John IN the presidential
canvass of that year. The scattering vote
for governor was very small this year, and
it is evident that the Republicans will have
about $500 majority over all. In 1884
Robbie had 10, 500 plurality and over 16, 600
majority. In the last Senate We're II Re
publicans and no Democrats. This year il
will stand PC Republicans and ) Demo
Gratis. In the House last year were 11j
Republicans, 81 Democrats aud . Green
hackers. The new House will have 100
Republicans and 81 Democrats.
The election furnishes no result com
mensurate with the effort which Mr..
Plaine has put fortl. TO give it a national
character and scope. The mere success of
Mr.. Blane's ticket for governor, Legisla-
rare aud congressman means but little.
A popular revolution alone ar this time
could effect anything different. The Re
publican majority las fallen off twenty
seven per cent, throughout the State. even
under the most strenuous efforts So main
tain it at the figure shown at the last elec-
ton.

DR.. II. NJ. Sherman, the Noted
Specialist on diseases of the blood,
skin and nervous system, now at the
Burbridge House, in this city, claims
the Cold Salt Water Springs, of Hen
derson, Ky, are far superior to the
Cold Salt Water Springs, ofGormany,
in the treatment of all cutaneous
eruptions and nearly specific in Ma
sal Catarrh they contain the same
elements of that of the German
Springs, Iodine, Iron Bromine, Chlor-
ide Sodium and small percentage of
Arsenic, but twice the strength Of the
German Syrup in Nasal Catarrh and
Eczema. lie has had excellence re-
suits from its use in connection with
constitutional treatment in many in
stances. The Doctor has sent a great
many of the afflicted to these springs
in the past six months, and in every
case they have derived great benefit
from the internal and external use of
the water, their antissptic, alterati We
and tonic properties he claims are
wonderful. The Doctor has been
trying for some time to get control Of
the springs. Should he succeed he
will put them in such shape as 10 en-
able the afflicted to get the benefit Of
the water at a very small expense.

FAIR NOTES.

The cane man did a good business
The circular swing was the delight
of the small boy.
Mr.. V. M. Metcalfcs explanation Of
the analysis of wheat, corn, potatoes
etc, was listened to with interest by
many farmers.
There was plenty of water in the
cisterns.
The weather was delightful, but the
dust was awful.
The flowers and evergreens in the
floral department were all appropri-
ated for button-hole bouquets. The
pickles and other edibles on exhibit
tion also went to tickle the palates OF
the public.
Mr.. e. p. Neale, of Bowling Green,
had two fine mares missing from the
stables at the fair grounds Saturday
morning. During the day he recov-
cred them, as they had gottenIout and
strayed and were not stolen as he at
first feared.
The attendance the two first days
wasllight but the crowd on Saturday
has been estimated by good judges at
from $500 to 5000. 1t was the largest
and most orderly crowd we have
seen at the fair for several years.
1t is estimated that not over half of
the people in the city Saturday at
tended the fair. Comparatively few
colored people went in, although the
city was crowded with them all day.
Probably not less than 5000 colorcd
people were in the city from the
country. They seemed to prefer
staying in town TO going TO the fair.
About 5 o'clock in the afternoon
Saturday there were more people on
Main street than have been IN the
city at any time for nearly two years.
The attraction was tight rope per-
formance across the street from the
Opera House to the Garnett & Will
liams building.
All of the merchants did a thriv-
ing business during the fair. Satur-
day was the best day for business
that Ilopkinsville has seen for many
months.

The Hop Friday Night.

The annual fair hop Friday evening
was by far the most brilliant and gor-
geous affair of the kind Hopkinsville
has seen for several years. 1t was at
tended by about seventy five couples
of young ladies and gentlemen, many
of them visitors from other cities and
states. Some of the ladies were at
tired in the most elegant and costly
dresses ever seen in ball room in
this city. A number of them wore
trains, which were the wonder and
admiration of curious crowd of out
siders who clustered around the win
dows of the Rink to catch a glimpse
Of the magni6cence within.
The dancing continued until a late
hour Saturday morning. The music
was furnished by the Bowling Green
Band, assisted by the italian Band
lately at Cerulean. Space will not
allow us to report the affair in detail.
Suffice 1t to say it was the most sue
cessful dance ever gotten up in the
city. The young gentlemen who man.
aged it deserve much credit for the

The Equitable to the Front,

The Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety, of New York, announces new
policy, to the preparation of which il
claims to have given long and dill
gent study. 1t is attractively desig'
mated "The Free Tontine Policy" and
Is so called because at the end of the
first year, every restriction on travel
residence and occupation is removed
and the policyholder can go wherov'
er he sees fit and engage in whatever
occupation he may choose without
fear or favor.
This is not all; the policy claims tC
combine all the genuine advantages
which can be united in one policy
and it would seem that the new poll
cy of this enterprising company
might be worthy the study of all per
sons having any intention of insur
ing their lives.

of our leading druggists, and by his
close attention to business and keep.

al elegant line of fancy goods, has

If our other druggists and merchants

The long discussed project of starting q
glass factory at Pennsgroye, N. j., has at

The Getsinger Glass Co., of BridgetOn,

very well.
The window glass manufacturers and

the opinion that the demands will be
granted. A manufacturer who was spoken

ries starting at the usual time, September

There is fair demand for window glass,
and as the stocks are becoming depleted of
the sizes most in request, holders are very
firm in their views. Nothing tangible has
as yet TRANSFERRED as to the probable basis of
the settlement of the wages scale for the
next blast, though, as usual, the daily pa
pers seem to know all about it. Neither
does it appear to be settled question
whether the factories will resume on Sep
