at the celebration was a fine lllustra-
ton of the modern craze for the an
tique. The Major is the single "re-
naming piece of rare old set" and
he still plays the devoted to children
and pie.
John Rudolph having finished put
ting up tobacco for the season will
leave us in few days for his home
in Tennessee, we shall miss thee John /;
Already a traveller on the Rudolph
high way says that he heard the mes
sage FAREWELL A word that must
be and hath been, A sound which
makes us linger-yet-farewell" pass

at the other end of the line. DR..
Mathews and j. e. Gossett, it is un-
dcrstood, have been appointed Execu-
tors. of his estate but neither wishes

JUDGED observer it yet looks like
Thomas Rives, of Garrettsburg, a
prince among good fellows and an
Apollo among women may be ap-
pointed administrator to keep, have
and hold the same until death do us
part. Since writing the above John
tells me that he has bought thous-
and mile ticket over the /. A. Il Il.
to be renewed free of charge when
necessary and he wants neither Exc
cutor nor Administrator, but will
fight it out on that line if it takes all
summer. Go in John "none but the
brave deserve the fair"
Misses Lulu Coleman and Matte
Mcknight have recently returned
from schools at Russellville and
Clarksville respectively. (The latter
city principally distinguished as be-
ing the Alpha and almost the One

young ladies are armed capapie for
the courts of Cupid and woe be to
the unlucky swain who falls in their
way, unless he is prepared to make
all unconditional surrender.
Herndon still continues TO grow
since our last. Messrs. Chess and Joe
Dawson have built a handsome and
well finished business house on Main
street and ii is now replete with a
stock of well selected groceries and
confeclionerles, TO which in few
days will be added an elegant soda
fount, ice cream parlor and European
restaurant where you may call for
what you want and get what you can,
just like some of your Hopkinsvile
restaurants, you know. They also
contemplate building a handsome
residence before winter as also will
Mr.. Jackson and Mr.. Ford Dawson
who is the oldest merchant in the
place and as clever as they can be
made.
A syndicate has been formed at
Bennettstown, consisting of James +.
Jobe, F. M. Grand and your cores
pondent to build a street railway
from Bennettstown to this city. The
capital stock (3) dollars has all been
subscribed and operations will begin
as soon as Mr.. Jobe can execute as
Treasurer satisfactory bond. Say
about the time Jim Blaine tells who
performed the ceremony at his first
marriage in Kentucky.
Colonial history informs us that
Powhaiau enraged at the conduct of
one John Smith swore in his wrath
that his life should pay the penalty
of his crime and proceeded to execute
his threat with a "Klub" but it also
informs that her royal highncss the
Princess Pocahontus interposed her
queenly form between the eXecutioner
and his intended victim and Johns
descendants still live to tell to ears of
prattling children the story of their
ancestors escape. can not attribute
my salvation to so sentimental or he
roic cause but only to the weakness
of the blow which though aimed
with a giants strength fell with an
infants touch and lett the narrow
channel of my thoughts and the cir
cumscribed limits of my ability as
serene and undisturbed as the streets
of Howell, or as any scene which the
voiceless centuries of the past have
witnessed in that gorgeous Glide"
Park in England, of which "KluD"
is the only great living historian.
Now "Klub" tell us in your next all |
about this Hide Park, whether it is a
joint stock company, close corpora
ton or has it fallen into the hands of
a Syndicate +? Or is not your informa-
tion in regard to II contained in a
marrow channel" of hide bound ex-
tent. "Klub" says that the mercan-
tile firm of Howell won't come to
Herndon, rather than do so will go
back to Galloway State. Now "Klub"
don't do that for when the magnitude
of your metropolis is brought to the
notice Of General Villas he will per-
haps maybe give you a post office and
then you won't be near so lonesome.
Don't allow your present depression
of spirits to lead you to execute SO
gloomy resolve, cheer up and be
man and never, never for a moment
allow yourself 10 be the victim of so
melancholy delusion as to believe
that your orbit in this world is cir
cumscribed by the limits of either
Howell city or the State of Galloway.
No there are Jackson and Rowan
counties in this State, Indian Mound
in Tennessee, Purgatory and sheal IN
the next world, either of which
would be preferable as place to do
business to your present location.
Now, "Klub," have done with your
city and would suggest an appro-
pirate inscription for her monument
the "Niobe of cities" there she. stood
tradeless and worthless "in her
voiceless woe." But l must stop.
For though "Klub" can write with envy and
spite
And at our city can bray,
We won't kick town that's already down,
Because we amt built that way.
