We feel very much encouraged to
know that the subscription list of the
SoUTH KENTucKIAN is increasing
every day--new subscribers every
day as well as renewals. We give
more actual matter of interest to the
general public, TO the square inch,
than any other paper in this section,
and our efforts in that direction have
been thusly rewarded. Two dollars
a year, or less than two cents copy,
is cheap for such paper and the in
telligence of the public cannot fail to
comprehend the fact, but, TO the con-
trary, grasp 1t at once.

TheMuhlenburg Echo makes hard
slap at representative Cisney which
turns out to be the unkindest cut OF
all. Cisney wrote card TO the Echo
which was rather severe in its strict.

verbatim. To say that the represen-
tative is not on speaking terms with
the Fundamentals of punctuation
would be putting 1t mildly.

The Prohibition convention at In
dianapolis last week was attended by
four thousand delegates from all over
the country. Gen. Clinton D. Fiske
was nominated for President, and
John A. Brooks, of Kansas City, for
Vice. President, on platform which
declares the sale of alcoholic bever-
ages a public crime and resolutes in q
terribly ringing manner. Gen. Green
Clay Smith, who was prominently
mentioned for second place, was sci
upon in a salty wayby John G. Fee,
of Berla College, because he was a
Mason. Just exactly the criminality
of Masonry was not brought out by
the bslligerent Fee.

DIFFICULT REPORTING.
Amusing and Absurd Mistakes Made by

GRANDPA AND BABY.
KENTUCKY.

Out on the lawn, one summers day,
] left my baby boy at play,
And smiled TO hear his gleeful shout
And happy voice ring In and out
Among the arches OF the trees,
Then die away upon tho breeze:
While all the playful echoes stirred
To merry laugh and lisping word.
But when missed the cheerful noise.
Nor heard the sound OF prattling voice,
rose, and TO the window HE'D,
And, looking thence, this vision spied--
q Memory, though thy name be pain,
Paint, paint that picture DER againi
The westering sun his glory threw
Along the sward OF emerald hue;
Save where. perchance, In playful frown.
Some cool, green shadows nestled down,
And idly shifting with the sun
Crept slowly eastward, one by one.
Beneath the elm trees waving crest,
Where birdlings tossed in downy nest,
And where alternate sun and shade,
Like changing fsncies, skipped and played
The old arm chair. secure and good,
With widespread arms, inviting stood;
And In its cushions, broad and deep,
Grandpa and baby fast asleep.
On rounded cheek and golden head
The sinking sun his radiance shed:
While on the grandsirc's silver crown
A single ray dropped softly down.
And then, In benediction. fell
On both, and wrapped them IN its spell.
The breeze, In frolic. growing bold,
Tossed up the rings OF shining gold
On baby's head, then with the gray
On grandpa's head began TO play.
An the worn palm, securely pressed,
One little dimpled hand found rest;
The other clasped u withered flower,
,Culled, all at will, In Natures bower.
Fixed was the look OF sad content
On the worn face n trifie bent;
And forward dropped, to rest the chin
My baby's clustered curls within;
While on the collar u his coat
The gray and gold together float
Such tinting one might vainly seek
As slept on baby's lip and cheek;
But thin and pale that other one,
And sad and cnreworn In the sun.
And so the evening shadows fell,
And deeper grew, but all was well.
The elm tree boughs are gaunt and bare,
And tossed about by wintrv Dir.
While pale, wan shadows come and 20 ,----
Upon the lawn, all white with show;
But nevermore, at eve or. lawn,
On garden walk, or classy lawn,
May l, in vision te.ir, behold
That little head with crown OF gold.
Ncr ever more, on summer day,
That other one, with crown OF gray.
Beneath the dreary, drifted snow,
The silver head, and gold. lie low;
Yet evermoro in JOY or pain,
Oh Memoryi paint that scene again.

the cow had her stall and was signing that
