| We are Just in receipt of a letter
from friend in May field, stating
that Hon. Il A. Neale, OF that city,
would visit orr county at an early
day in the interest of the proposed
railroad from Cairo 10 Cumberland
Gap, or elsewhere, and asking us to
aid him in the enterprise.
Judge Kelly refused last week to
grant Mr. Sam Kennedy license to
sell whisky near point where the
rrigg and Christian county, Ky0
and Stewart county (Tenn) lines
join. The judge thought ii was Mr..
kennedy's intention 10 catch the I'M
wary "a-gwyen au' a-comin'." The
old mans neighbors were opposed to
having the license granted him.
The prospects for an abundant har-
vest were never more promising than
at present. The yield Of wheat ex-
cecds that of last year at least one
third, and is of the very best quality.
A iiue oat crop is being harvested
The crop of grasses, except clover is
an average one. THERE'S large coin
crop growing. Up TO the present
time il has been well cultivated. The
season has been all that could be
desired for the production OF this
grain, and, if il continues as favorable
the yield will be NE largest that we
have had in Trigg county for many
years.
A full crop Of tobacco has been
planted, but, owing TO late june rains
it has not been cultivated as thor
oughly as ii should have been. The
press of the wheat harvest also re-
iarded work in the tobacco fields, but
the farmers, as a general thing, are
catching up with their work, and the
present prospect for fine tobacco
crop is very flattering.

process OF construction. Two car
loads of the large iron piping have
arrived and the work will be pushed
forward with large force. The
supply of fresh, pure, cool spring
water will be sufficient for city Of
forty thousand people. The l.. u N.
Railroad Company makes every en-
terprise success.

A rather remarkable case of solar
is authoritatively reported
from our neighboring county, Logan
One week ago last Sunday, Mrs Pau
line Price, living in Logan county,
left the home of sister, Mrs. Jane
Still, near Adairville, and started III
a buggy for home. In the buggy
were five turkey eggs in a box. BE
fore this good woman had made hall
The distance, which was II miles, one
egg Matched out fine turkey, AMI
before sun down that evening the
four remaining eggs had turned TO
turkeys.
There was something near 10000
bushels of wheat threshed in thu
Trenton vicinity last week, the yield
being at least fourth more than
was expected. S. Il. Stegar on 70
acres made an average of 33l bush
els ID. s. Dickinson on IS acres made
26 bushels TO the acre and on 10 acre.
averaged 3j bushels per acre. The
returns from other crops now being
threshed will be proportionately |
large. Trenton is decidedly the ban
ner W heat section of Todd county and |
her farmers are professionals.
LOGAN.
The Russellville Herald graphical
ly tells how a society young man OF
that town took his girl to a party, |
looked upon wine when 1t was red,
and returning home fell by the way
side-drunk. The remainder of the
tail we give Ill the heralus iAh-
guage:
"The silvery moon, disguised with
the nights dull passing withdrew
from the field of action, for Sol had
started westward, and the east, with
greyish streaks, gave signs of his APP
proach. The girl was badly broken up,
but would not give in, so she Ilucki-
~ seized him by the collar, and drag
ged him to his feet, half dragged,
half carried him TO his home, aud as
the door was left unlocked noislessly
took him to his room, and laying
him across his bed remove his shoes
and with a sigh and parting "there
now" Withdrew aud sped, swift as
the night, TO her own abiding place
and to her cosy nest, from which dear
"Mamma" had much trouble in arous-
ing her for breakfast. She was brave
girl, aud one that will do 10 lie TOT
and the hoy. well, il is 10 say, was
