LANCASTER. GARRARD COUNTY.

Hon. Thos. ;. Bronston, Collector of
Internal Revenue, was here this week.
He says the district is in excellent order
and that the "hands" are doing good
work and running things smoothly.
Wakefield d Lee, OF Danville, bought
of J. :. Gill 30 head of New York cattle,
averaging 800 pounds at 5c, and Nelson
Morris, of Chicago, bought of w. ;. Beaz-
ley b head that averaged $50 at $50
Miss Mary Gray, OF Versailles, and
Miss Ida Taylor, of Berry, arrived this
week and their naIpes have been added
to the list Of pupils at the college. III. &.
X auifman, wife and daughter, Louise,
are enjoying the centennial exposition
at Cincinnati. DIR. Il. +. Walter, wife
and daughter attended the Mlburn-
Walter wedding at Stanford yesterday.
The clatter of fragments OF metal,
once called bell, hanging in the court
house cupola, has given nearly every one
the jerks. Its repeated attempts and
miserable failures TO tell the hour or
summons people together, forces the be-
lief that the old bell has partaken OF the
character OF the announcements 50 often
made at the bar in the temple below.
Hurry along the new bell, We guardians
of the people, and in addition to politics,
give us IA strong, clear, court-hOus ring.
A few nights ago some OF our young
men tried the old game OF frightening
one of their fellows by stoning him while
on the way to his home in the outskirts
of town. The slight injury the young
man received was even more than the
boys intended To infiict; and while We
are confident the young men intended
no harm and did not fully realize what
they were doing, their conduct was, new
ertheless, exceedingly naughty, and
should never be repeated. II is natural
and wise for any one IN avoid danger
and when youth, attacked in the dark
ness, attempts to escape he displays no
lack OF courage. And though one beset
in this way may escape bodily harm, he
sustains greater injury by reason of the
fact that his companions have turned to
humiiate him and render him an object
of ri1cule; whereas the affinity Of youth
should have united them in good fellow
ship, and their hopes and purposes serve
as n bond OF comfort and protection. So
do not wound the spirit of any one, boys,
but cultivate the affections OF each other
and grow into useful manhood together.

The Advocate, which has always es-
poused the cause of temperance, and
been instrumental to a great degree in
securing the stringent anti-liquor laws
that prevail in Danville, says OF the re-
publican side show inaugnrated by the
prohibitionists: ''rhe truth of the mat
ter is that the real friends Of temperance
in Kentucky cannot be induced tofollow
the lead Of political prohibitionists in the
crusades they have undertaken, for, as is
shown conclusively by Mr.. Nooe in his
canvass thus far, the only possible effect
will be to divert attention from the main
issue and permit the republicans to gain
an advantage"

A First Glass ENTERTAINERS

\ good audience greeted the Al. g.
Field Minstrels at the opera house last
night. The entertainment was one OF
the best ever given in this city, the mill
tary first part being decided hit. The
singing and comedy business was all good.
While other shows may have been dis
tinguished by one or two special fea-
lures, none as a whole ever exceled that
given by Al. q. Field last night. \ bet
ter satisfied audience never left the OPP
era house and the Company scored de-
cided hit for eclipsing all former efforts
made by il. The costumes are new and
elegant, and all the old stereotyped fea-
lures of a minstrel entertainment have
been abandoned for new and novel eff
fects. Charleston, w. Va, Daily Star,

Gov. McCREARY was accorded grand
ovation at Shelbyville, where he spoke
Monday for two hours to an immense
audience, covering the issues of the cam
paign in splendid manner. At night
the bonfres were lighted in his honor,
and the local band, accompanied by a
large number of voters, called on the dis
tinguished gentleman and rendered him
q serenade, to which he very happily re-
sponded. Everywhere the Governor has
been so far, he has created great enthu-
siasm and awakened the sleeping demo-
Gratis TO the Importance OF the contest be-
tween the money power supportedby the
republican party and the cause OF
the people championed by the demo

day, when Lincoln county democrats
should see that grand reception is Civ

J. A. Scorr, legislator from Frank
lin, made cowardly assault on Vice
President Stahlman at Frankfort, be-
cause of letter published over his sig
nature and those of Gen. Basil Duke and
stuart X. Knott during the life of the
legislature, relative to the action OF that
body on railroad matters. Gen. Duke
was in town at the time, but the valiant
Scott, who is said to be veritable giant,
preferred not to expose his carcass to
that gentleman, who is sound as dollar
and as brave as Julius Cesar, but in
stead jumped on cripple, who was not
able to cope with him physically, even
if he were not.

come, with enclosure, and that from Mr..

Is it from a scarcity of dollars or lack of
interest that all the editors do not join
the Association? Surely it cannot he
for the former reason.

According to his proposed resolution the Judi ciary Committee shall determine what effect said trusts have upon prices of the necessaries of life" The trusts against winch the pro- posed action is principally directed are the coal and sugar trusts, but, of course, all similar combinations would come under the law.

All the docu- ments and proof in the case. with many additional facts, have been carefully collected and arranged so that they can be made use of at a moments notice. The possibil- ity of even one cents worth of in- demnity to Cutting has never been entertained by the Mexican government and will not even be discussed by them.

The Florence Enterprise says
 that by simple process Thomas Gates has produced cheap prep aration for clustering adobe build ings that promises to become a valuable discovery. He uses a clay that is dried and pulverized and afterwards mixed with linseed oil and perhaps other ingredients. This is plastered on the adobe walls and 1t forms a hard and durable coating, ilrpervious to water and neat in appearance. He caused a portion of the peniten- tiary walls to be coated with it and during the heavy rains of last summer this portion withstood the storm without showing the least wear, while the portions not so treated were seriously washed out. Its severe trial has proven it to be q very valuable discovery and one that will not only add to the dura- bility of the adobe buildings, but to their appearance as well.
