A FEARFUL FIGHT.
One Man Fatally Cut and Another
Shot and Seriously Wouued.

A desperate fight took place on DIR.
Grady's farm, near Trenton about 7
o'clock Saturday night last, in which
Alonzp Harris was probably fatally
stabbed, and Tom iceland seriously
wounded by a pistol shot. 1t seems
Harris accompanied by Jim Parker
left Trenton just before dark going to
Grady's farm, where they waited I'M
til they were overtaken by Tom Ke-
land and-son and man named En-
mis-. An old feud had existed between
the two fastiohs for some time and
when the latter crowd came up Har-
ris and Parker opened fire, one shot
taking eject In the breast of Keland
making serious though not neces-
sarily fatal wound. Keland succeed
ed in getting his hands on Harris and
drawing large knife proceeded TO
carve him in number of places max
ing many ugly wounds, from which
the physicians think he will not re-
cover. The affair created much ex-
element In the community. The
other parties engaged in the battle
were not much hurt.

OUR EXHIBITOR AT cADIz.

The Cadiz Telephone pays the fol-
lowing compliment to Mr.J. o. Rust,
who spoke in Cadiz on the 22nd of.
last month:
The entertainment at the Court
house last Saturday night was well
attended, considering the Indictment
evening. The meeting was called
to order by Judge j. +. Kelly, A
recitation, entitled "The Storm" by
Prof. d. A. P'Pool, was the first on
the program. He was followed by
Mr.. John o. Rust, in his celebrated
address on "kenticky's Illiteracy."
He received marked attention at the
beginning, and retained 1t with in
creased manifestations Of interest
and approval, to the close of bis re-
marks. He was frequently and hear
tily applauded, and since the delivery
of his address, the purity and elegance
Of his style Of expression, and his
large and chosen vocabulary have
beed OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and univer-
sally complimented. AS an advanced
reasoner, he has but few equals and
fewer superiors. His address was
brimful of new ideas, and as q
thoroughly practical theory for the
improvement of our common school
system, it surpassed anything of the
kind we ever had the pleasure Of
listening to. We wish that the same
address could be delivered in every
common school district in the State.
1t would awaken the dormant ener-
gies ofthe people, cause q new intea-
est in school matters, aud mark an
era of progressive improvement n
the Intellectual culture OF out citiz@t-
ship. In the name of the people Of
Cadiz and Trigg county, we desire 70
thank Mr.. Rust for his able and BEN
eflcial address.
Mrs. Rust's recitation was very
appropriate and elegantly delivered.

Personal.

Speaking of one ofour enterprising
young men the Western Tobacco
Journal says: Saturday last we had
the pleasure of greeting Mr.. Il. l.
Metcalfe, manager Of the Progressive
Age, a monthly journal published in
the interest Of the farm, home and
school and issued at Hopkinsville,
Ky. This young gentleman is son
of DIR. V. M. Metcalfe, the famous
agricultural lecturer Of IIopkinsville
KY, and seems to be worthy son of
noble SIRE"
And this Is what the Salem, (Ind.)
Leader says Of the sire: "Dr. V. M.
Metcalfe, commissioner from Ken
lucky to the Ohio Central Exhibit
tion at Columbus stopped at our fair
last week and lectured in the agricul-
tural hall Thursday, to large crowd
OF farmers upon the subject of sol
and wheat-growing. The doctor is
one of the best posted men upon the
subject of soils, crops and their treat
ment in our whole country, and farm
ers are always very much interested
in his talks. His services are in con-
slant demand from all parts of the
country TO lecture for oranges, farm
ers' institutes and fair associations"

Will b q big day. Everything is 10
readiness for the fall meeting Of the
Driving Park, and the city will
doubtless be full of country people
and large numbers from . distance.
The merchants generally will close
their stores aud the men in the ma
chine shops and factories will all turn
out and help make the opening day a
grand success. From whatwe have
gathered there will be more fine stock
here than has ever been entered at
any Of our fairs. There will be peo-
pie here from all sections of the State.
The railroads will sell round trip
tickets at greatly reduced rates from
Evansville, Bowling Green, Nashville,
Clarksville and other points. Every
thing looks propitious and II the
weather should be favorable we viii
have'a lively week all round.
