able to find it. The pain and swelling
were so severe that it was three
weeks before he could move about.
After the soreness was all gone,
nothing more was thought of the
needle, until Tuesday morning last,
while changing his undershirt, Mr..
Perry found that it had caught on
something, and called his wife to see
what was the matter. On examin-

shoulder and elbow, where the shirt
had hung, she found the point of a
needle protruding from the flesh
When she pulled it out it caused no
pain whatever, and not the slightest
signs of suppuration visible. Only a
black spot shows the place where il
came out. The needle, a No. 4, is

Ed. SOUTH KENTUcKIAN:
We have the gayest, pleasantest and
most peaceful neighborhood in the
county. No shooting, cutting or
knocking down, but we all eat, drink
and be merry.
Our popular young merchants
Wall & McGehee had large trade
this Christmas.
Miss Rebecca Dillman, one of Cas-
ky's charming AMI beautiful young
ladies, who has been visiting Miss
May Yonts, returned home Satur-
day.
One of the most pleasant and en-
joyable sociables of the season was
given at Mr.. Frank Cox's, on Tues
day night. Mr.. Cox and his estima-
blelady know how to make all agree
able. There was any kind of amuse-
ment from dancing down to "Old
Maid" l don't mean we had any
old maids, for all the young ladies
were beautiful, attractive and fasci-
mating.
Married, Dec. 80, by Rev. A. Quick
of Trigg county, Miss May Yonts to
Mr.. Henry B. HUMPHREYS. The bride
is one of our most beautiful, in
telligent and accomplished young la
dies ;iew ladies OF her age can surpass
her for beauty and intellect. Sine had
many friends and admirers and none
knew her but to love her. The groom
is one of our energetic and popular
young planters. There was no one
present at the marriage excepting a
few relatives aud friends. The cere-
mony was very short and sweet on
account of the groom's being so badly
scared. The minister was afraid he
would faint. After the ceremony
was over the parents of the bride in
vited the company to one of the most
sumptous and elegant of dinners,
and can assure you all present en-
joyed it and did justice to it.
Our wheelwright, Smith Haskins,
has gone to Howell Station 10 work
this year, we regret very much his
leaving and wish him much success
in his new field of labor. Can't you
send us good blacksmith and
wheelright to this place? tits one of
the best stands in the county.

nineteen years of age committed sui
eide last Saturday night at the home
of his parents near Daysville, Todd
county, KY, by taking morphine. A
brother was sleeping with him at the
time, but did Lot become aware of
what had been done until life was
nearly extinct.
Adams left a note to the effect that
he was tired of life and that no one
was to blame but himself for his rash
act. Deceased was somewhat pecu-
liar in his manners and habits and
was of a melancholy disposition mix
ing but little with his fellows
