the window shutter and the blind
unlocked.
The residence of Mr.. Jno. G. Day

Mammoth Cave Excursion.

AS both routes in the cave are now
open, the excursion will leave We'd
nesday, July 7tb, at 6 o'clock a. m.
The rate for both the long and short
routes, hotel and railroad fare will
be only $l2,25 for over Is people.
Less than that number, from 10 to %,
will be 1926. This is an exceeding
ly low rate, and all who can, should
take advantage of it, as a chance is
rarely offered to see so much for so
little. The excursionists will return
Friday night at 8 80. A good band
is at the cave, and the lessee, Mr..
Comstock will leave nothing undone
TO add to the pleasure of those who
go. The following have given in

Professor II. b. Wayland left this
week to take charge Of a school in
Texas. We regret to give Professor
Wayland up. lie has been closely
identified with Cadiz for over TWEEN
ty years. In prosperity and ADVERSE
ty, he has ever been the friend and
supporter of nearly every laudable
enterprise. A Christian gentleman,
an able educator with advanced ideas,
he has always taken a high rank in
every noble enterprise which had for
its object the advancement and eleva-
ton of mankind. His scholarly at
tainments and long experience as an
educator, and long life of rectitude
in our midst, without one blot or slur
upon his escutcheon, are recommen-
dations more enduring than any
words Recommendation that we could
use.-Cadiz Telephone.
The publishers Of the KENTUCKIAN
have known Prof. Wayland for many
years, and take pleasure in endorsing
the above testimonial to his character
and attainments, We regret very
much TO see him leave Kentucky and
wherever he may locate we recon-
mend him to the people as gentle
man of the purest and highest char
acter, worthy and deserving of the
fullest confidence and most generous
patronage in his profession.

at receiving the following letter from

My Dear Little Friends: What
good fairy prompted my two little
unknown friends to remember me so
sweetly on my wedding day? Who

Ed. Souri, KENTUcKIAN:
Dew berries are very plentiful here
at ten cents per gallon.
Mrs. Charlie Mann, of Slaughters-
vile, KY, spent few days with her
sister here, Mrs. G. M. Day, last week.
DIR. Hopson, of your city, made a
professional visit to Miss Sis Long
near here last Tuesday, who has been
confined to herroom for several weeks.
Mrs. John Kelly is visiting her faith
er, of Lafayette, Ky.
The trustees of the Crofton .Acade-
my have not employed their teacher
for the fall session yet. So those on
the look out for good school would
do well 10 call on them.
Rev. Jas. C. Keith, of College City,
CAL, is spending few days with his
brother, Mr.. John Keith, of this place,
lie preached at the church Friday at
II a. m, and Notwithstanding that
the announcement was not made UNI
til that morning he had far above an
average congregation, many of the
merchants closing up their houses in
order to attend church to hear such
an able man. This discourse was
filled with food for the thinkers. lie
has been president of female col
lege for ten years and preached 10 one
church the same length of time,
which is enough to say of his ability.
Twenty-Five years ago he split rails
for twenty-five cents per hundred
for many farmers who are yet living
in North Christian. AT the age of
twenty-one he entered school for the
purpose of completing his education,
which was very limited. Going to
school awhile and working awhile
he succeeded in completing it at
thirty; since then he has had charge
of some Of the best churches in this
State, until he moved TO California
in 1876, where he has held the posi-
ton mentioned above. If many of
the young men Of North Christian
would take time by the forelock and
emulate the life of Mr.. Keith it would
not be long until they would reach the
zenith which he has.
r. p. Stevens, of your city, was in
town Saturday.
The picnic on Johnson's mill rood
Saturday was surprise to all who
attended, and we are satisfied that
there were at least fifty people who
felt that surprise, and when we left
many Of them were puzzled to know
how Jim Nixon could sell a half
pound of candy for five cents; when
we interrogated Jim he informed us
he always had an eye TO the future,
and ifhe furnished the rising genera
ton of that neighborhood with
sweetening, that they would remem-
Der him in the days of their youth.
