What Is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted I?
81 you will remember few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively unknown
to-day Il Is as common as any word in
Nhe English language, yet this word
bowers only the meaning of another word
used BY our forefathers in times past -
So Il Is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what our
grandfathers called Biliousness, and all
are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition Of the Liver which in
performing its functions finding 1t cannot
dispose Of the bile through the ordinary
channel is compelled to pass 1t off through
the system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You who are
suffering can well appreciate cure. We
recommend Green's August Flower. Its
cures are marvellous.

Smith Williams,

Wednesday night at 8 o'clock, at
the Methodist church, Mr.. Ira Smith
was married to Miss Aurine Will
liams, Rev. j. w. Lewis officiating.
A brilliant assemblage witnessed
the ceremony, and Messrs. John EIlis
and Collie Slaughter acted as ushers.
Mr.. Smith is an employe in the
Planters Bank and for energy, integ-
rity and business capacity no one &C.
cupies higher position. To all. of
these he adds liberal classical educa-
cation and kindliness and affability
which easily make him a favorito in
society. The bride is young lady
of many eXcellencies of charac-
ter. She has been for several years
teacher in our. public school and
her labors were highly appreciated by
the community. The KENTUcKIAN
joins with a host of friends in wish
ing them bon coyage.
The ladies of the church had hand
somely decorated the interior for the
nuptials. A gilded gateway wreathed
in flowers was swung between flo
raj arch halt-way down the isle, and
another arch curved above the con-
tracing parties at the pulpit railing,
suspended from which was floral
wish bono. The pulpit was banked
10 flowers and brilliantly lighted.
Thursday morning Mr.. Clarence An
derson took picture of the decora-
tons with the bridal couple in posi-
ton. The attendants were Masters
Snider Rodgers and Edwin Thomp-
son who swung open the golden
gates like pair of Cupids. IA.

well dewberrles are ripe and Mis-;
Josie Putty will teach our school.
Mr.. Lee johnson was the guest Of
j. Il. johnson, Sunday.
Mira. Charley Yancey was badly
hurt by a COW few days ago.
Mr.. John Long found terrapin
with the letter X. 1877, cut Oh its
back. 1t had evidently been seen
eleven years ago. g..
The heavy rains have washed up a
great deal of corn and tobacco.
A few nights ago some thieves
went to Charley Cannon's stable, got
a bride, went to Andy Cannon's pas
ture, caught his mare, then to Esq.
Yancey's smoke-house, dug under
and got about 200 lbs of bacon, car
ricd it across the field where they
had their horses hitched, loaded up
and went on their way rejoicing. The
mare was found the next day near
Mr.. Fidella Meacham's going tow
ards home. Don't understand us TO
say Mr.. Meacham got the meat.

DAVE BRAxroN KILLED.
Shot In An Attempt to Escape
From the Henderson Jail.

Our readers will remember the dc.
tails of the horrible assault made by
Dave Braxton, col, upon one Mrs
Patzke, a white lady, several weeks
since; also the result of the trial
which fixed the guilt upon the fend
and his subsequent removal to Hen
derson to escape the violence of an
outraged public. L'tterly it has de-
veloped that Braxton had insulted 25
or 30 of the most refined ladies in
this city and was in all respects a
beast. This same Braxton has at
last met his reward and that, too, be-
fore the law could lay its clutches
upon him. The facts are detailed by
a special from Henderson Wednesday
night, as follows:
"One of the most daring efforts at
Jail breaking ever attempted in this
section, was made this afternoon
about O'Clock. 1t seems as Turn
key James Turner was entering the
jail with dinner for the prisoners, he
was attacked by one Braxton, who
had crouched against the wall. In
the scuflle Turner succeeded in draw
ing his pistol and fired, shooting
Braxton through the left lung, the
ball coming out of his back. Brax-
toms wound is pronounced fatal. On
ly three prisoners escaped, two of
which have been recaptured. Albert
Hatchett, colored, charged with per-
jury, is still at large. Braxton is
charged with rape and was recently
brought here from IIopkinsville TO
escape lynching, and is the same that
the mob talked of hanging when they
lynched Jas. Foster, Sunday night
last. Valuable assistance was rem
dered the officers by prisoner VIM.
Boine, and without his assistance the
Jail would, in all probability, have
been emptiel aud Turner used up"

A Prohibition Shake. Up.

Judge Winfree and Comfy Attor-
ney Payne called in the services Of
Constable N. T. Watson, ofthe Casky
precinct, this week, and made a raid
on the whisky dealers. Subpoena:
we're issued for about so witnesses to
appear before the court and tell what
they know Of the traffic. Already
information has been obtained
against several parties, but the off
GERS will not give out who they are.
Most Of those summoned failed TO
come TO time and warrants have been
issued for their arrest. Judge Win
free says he is going to fine every
man for contempt who fails to re-
spond promptly. Yesterday fines
were assessed against two tardy wit
nesses from Stuarts, and it looks like
there will be more to follow. The
investigation will be continued with
severity.

There is no line of industry that is
of greater Importance to the people
than the making of their clothing.
Many can do without wagons, buggies,
plows, engines or many other articles
of great Importance, but none can do
without clothing. But the knowledge
of the methods of constructing this
clothing is not general yet, as it
should be.
Nearly every family is supplied
with part of the necessary means Of
making their own clothing yet they
are much like railroad company
with plenty of cars and no engines.
The people having the sewing ma
chimes, but lack the means of uttlng,
so they are much like railroad compa-
ny cars-but no means to use them
The people feel and know that they
are only half equipped for this work.
1t lisa disagreeable fact to mothers
that they do not know enough to cut a
garment for one of their little child
rem or for themselves.
The sewing machine is in use, yet
something else is needed. The pub
lie has been waiting and anxious for
that something else.
We invite every lady and gentle.
mau in Christian and adjoining coun-
ties to call and investigate the Nation
al Garment Cutter. Office in Nc
Daniel block, opposite Postoflice.
