The Weston Combination exhibited
at Bowling's Hall, Friday and Satur-
day nights, to large audiences. II
was by far the best entertainment ol
the kind ever given here, and should
they ever return they will be greeted
by larger audience.
Wednesday morning o. A. West,
John Myers, j. II. Shelton, Levi Bunk
holder, w. 4. Stuart and your scribe
left here for Murphy's Lake. We
were well equipped for fishing and
hunting. At2 80 that day we struck
up camp on tho bank of the Lake.
Suffice TO say we never saw fishing
and hunting better. Many of our
meals would have been feast for an
epicure, there was only one pest, that
was the mosquitoes, and oh my they
were the most daring ones we ever
saw. The boys first thought they
could run them by smoking, but it
was all in vain, they would seton the
pipe or cigar and look over into the
the fire and wait until their comrades
would fill up with your life blood
and fly away to give them room,
SO we didn't find anything that would
run them and we retreated, returning
home Saturday evening at 5 o'clock.
Miss Birdie johnson will leave to-
day for Nashville to attend the fair.

first corners and all will be given an
equal chance for the best seats. A
great many orders for tickets have
been received from out of town, and

there will not be vacant scat in the

his route covers the entire country,
and he can only reach the smaller
places about once in every two or

UNDER THE CARS.
Two Brothers Attempt to Get a
Free Ride on a Freight With
Serious Results.

Last Thursday two young mon, by
the name of Jefferson and Buck Ba-
ker, who had been at work on farm
about thirteen miles from Henderson,
found themselves at Hopkinsville.
They were on their way to their
home, thirteen miles from Russellville.
Jefferson is 81 years old and his
brother Buck, is 16. They were both
without money, having only GO cents
between them. Buck had been from
home about four months, but Jkffer-
son had been away but FIVE weeks
They were anxious to get back to
their old mother, but not having
money enough to pay their way, con-
cluded they would board a train that
was getting ready to pull out at hal Z
past eight o'clock Thursday night
and save walking. JEFF made a leap
for the moving train and his young
brother was to follow. Unfortunate
ly JEFF missed his footing and fell un-
der wheel of one of the cars. One
of his feet and a knee was badly
crushed. His cry for help and that
of his brother soon aroused the fami-
ly of Mr.. G.. V. Thompson, who i'm
mediately rushed TO the all of the In.
jured man. After ascertaining the
extent of his injuries Mr.. S. ii. Har-
rlson was asked to take the poor man
to his boarding house, but there not
being room for him, Mrs. Harrison
kindly sent up q bed, on which he
was carried to the boarding house of
Mrs. Skarry, on Ninth street.
Drs. Fuqua and Christian were
soon summoned, and have been in at
tendance on the sufferer ever since.
Atl2 o'clock yesterday they reported
their patient as too weak to endure
amputation of the injured leg.
Should he be strong enough the op-
Grafton may be performed to-day.
But it Ia their intention to avoid 1t, If
possible. The leg is in a terrible
condition, and II is hardly probably
that the young man can live without
its loss, and even then he may not
recover. The unfortunate man has
been kindly cared for, not only by
Mrs. Skarry and the attending physi-
clans, but many others. Nothing
that could possibly alleviate his suf-
fering has been withheld, but the
chances are all against him. The
two brothers are exceedingly anx.
lous that their poor old mother should
not learn her boys condition. He has
fallen into good hands and will re-
ceive every attention that his condi-
tion demands.

Mrs. Wallaos's Lecture.

Owing to wind storm that came
up about 7 o'clock Friday night, there
were probably not one fourth as
many persons out to hear the lecture
OF Mrs. Zerelda Wallace as would

away missed rare treat, As we In
advertently stated in Fridays paper,
Mrs. Wallace 10 not the mother OF
Gen. Lew Wallace, but the step-moth-
er. A perusal of the following, from
an exchange, is we'll worth reading /:
"Of course this tribute to Mrs
Wsllace's nobility of character as a
mother and stepmother is all the
more gratifying to her as such tokens
of love do not come in the ordinary
line Of tributes to stop-mothers. She
says Lew was a wayward child and
rather difficult to manage, as all born
geniuses are, he having fondness
for staying out Of school to play mar
bles or 60 hunting with some wild
boy; but he always told her the
truth about II; never deceived her.
She says she never knew any differ
ence In her love for him and her love
for her ewn children, Of which she
had six. She has also reared several
grandchildren, their mother Cher
daughtor) dying whom they were
young. She thinks her experience
refutes in an emphatic manner the
oft-repeated argument that women
can not be true women-flll their
God-ordained sphere, as the argu-
ment runs--and be advocates of wo-
man suffrage, or public speakers at
the same time. That truer mother
never lived, the affectionate tributes
of her children and step-children 60

Practical Forestry.

America is the only part of the civ

made special industry by the owners
of lands. In England and Scotland

of forests for profit alone has been
carried on Systematically for genera
tions back. In little but very enter
tanning and useful work. entitled ''Prac-
teal Forestry, 10y Prof. Curtis. an
Irish professional forester, are given
several instances of the rtpidity of
growth of planted timber and the large
profit derived from it. Large estates
grow all the timber for the various
purposes required. and upon one es-
tate Prof. Curtis mentions that a
large building WAS erected of home
grown timber by the very men who
planted it. and that the yearly thin
ming of the plantation had paid all en-
penses and regular income besides.
