The encouragement given us in

In the heading of our post.oflice

toward him, and the matter has been
adjusted.
Mrs. Moore, of Owensboro, is in the

We received an advertisement

Mr., Richard Peace, familiarity
known all over the county as "gay
Dick has secured position with W.
b. & G. Il. Mason, who are agents for
Woods machinery in this county. No

In as much as the Council approve
of the police using canes to walk
with, VIC would suggest that they
adopt some uniformity, and present
them with nice gold headed ones
But then they would have to be a lit
tie careful otherwise they might have
them stolen. AS II now is some use
the plain old fashioned hickory cane,
while others confine themselves to
the more elegant rattan.
We hear great deal of complaint
about cows and hogs running at large
on the streets, and opening peoples
gates after night. They walk into
yard, make meal of of some rare
flowers, trees, etc, that have received
the careful attention of the owner of
the premises, and then walk out.
The regular town COW and hog are
experts at opening gates, and people
who own such stock do not care
about paying for the damage done.
The Council ought TO look after
remedy.

sold to Hancock, Fraser & Ragsdale

very healthy advance on the price
paid by Mr.. Buckner in 'S6. Hand

mammoth warehouse on it. There
is no better property in the city for
a warehouse than this, and we con-
graduate them on its purchase
