Ed. SOUTH KENTUCKIAN:
Last Friday at an early hour, ere the
sun had thrown single ray of ligat
upon a hill top in north Christian and
even before the old chanticleer awoke
from his nights slumber undisturbed
by the boot of an owl perched upon
tree waiting for the first cock crow
that he too might have a feast, people
were gathering to the shady grove
near town anxious TO see the prospect
for a barbecued dinner and by nine
o'clock at least fifteen hundred had
gathered it was thought then by the
first who came and saw the fifteen
sheep and one hundred and twenty
loaves that unless there was a
"Christ" in their midst there would
not be twelve baskets full gathered
up, but there were many private bas-
kets on the ground and we think but
few returned home saying there
was nothing TO eat. But few partici-
pated in the saw-dust dance, owing
TO its being so warHl, but those who
remained for the ball at night in
dulged in stripping the light fantas-
tic" enjoying themselves 10 the time of
sweet music which was kept up till a
late hour.
Judge Jno. r. Grace and Hon. c,
j. Pratt addressed tho "dcar people,

four years.

The next morning after reaching
Petoskey l was up betimes to inquire
about the best fishing spot. soon dis
covered that the Fat Contributor had
been an hour ahead of me. He had
rented the only dock from which fish
could be caught and fenced it in. He
had engaged all the fish-worms old
Pctoskey had on his land, and had
bribed the only boy owning a minnow
net not to catch any bit for any one
else. Imet him coming up to the hotel
through the sand, and / called him a

obligations he had placed me.

1T is ALREADY OUT.
The mouse in the meal tub, men,

and not very interesting correspon-

Sypert, anent the expression of a
choice between them in Christian
county, was sent to an Greensboro
paper for publication, and followed
by telegram on the same subject.
Neither of the Hopkinsville papers of
the same date printed the correspon-

it was interesting only to Christian
county people. Perhaps this was be-
cause it was too farcical TO serve even
