The social editor of the GAINESVILLE
Democrat, who has recently been
"done up" by a Hopkinsville girl
writes: "When Hopkinsville girl

The SoUTH KENTUCKIAN gives you
more news of local interest, as well
as more editorial matter twice
week, than many daily papers at
three times the price. Two dollars

and you'll be pleased.

our correspondents for quite while,
and frequently get items Of impor-
lance from the sections IN which they
live, by accident, merely. We al

port at least once in a while the hap
penings around them.
Under the head of Announce
ments," this issue, appears card from
Mat. s. Major who announces himself
a candidate for Sheriff, subject to the
action of the Democratic Party, Elec
ton in August, 1888. Mr.. Major is
Democrat of the first water and In
evey sence of the word, and is univer-
sally popular among both white and
black, of both parties, and announces
himself in full assurance that should
he be the choice of his party, his eff
forts to obtain the Office will be

an act repeating the law requiring
two special terms of Circuit Court TO
be held In January and July, in this
county, for the trial of common law
cases, has passed the Senate and is
virtually law multiplying the afore-
said law.
REM. and Harmon Stanley, colored,
charged with manslaughter, in the
killing of Col. Ebling at the voting
place in Stewart precinct, on the day
of the August election in 1886, were
released from Jail Friday, on $500
bond, II. w. Henry, d. L. johnson,
Jno. Renshaw and j. p. Prouse be-
coming bondsmen. 1t is probable
that their case will 90 over until the

ct is crowded and all the cases can
not be tried at this term. These par
ties were once convicted but were
granted new trial by the Court of
Appeals.
