-Howdy,
The republicans OF Paint Lick ar,
very mad over the recent postoiice ap
pointment at that place. They should
cool Off.
About the only indication that ",
have had of spring is the abundant sup
ply of spring chickens furnished by on
good hostess, Mrs. Holmes, Mt Miller'
Hotel. How the drummers do smile

The Centennial was not celebrated
here except 10y some OF our young ladies
and gentlemen, who enjoyed rainy day
picnic. Possibly some OF our patriots
think it wrong for George Washington to
have gotten an office so easily century
ago, when they have been diligently
seeking one for a quarter of century,
and failed in every attempt.

Joe i. Sandifer, vino so gracefully quill
ell this column Immediately after our de-
parture, spoke of us, as soon as our back
was turned, in a very broad and intense
" personal manner. As Joe never boils
over save with gratitude and affection,
the offense is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS mainly
because of the friendship we can never
forget.
Hon. VI. J. Durham and wife were
here Wednesday visiting relatives and
friends. The Judge looks as if he were
able to win anything; but his honesty

naird, one OF our brightest and most en-
terprising young men, has located in
Kansas City, and engaged in the insur-
ance business. Col. Charles Gallagher,
the oldest merchant tailor in our city,
and one OF the hes. in the State, has re-
tired from business and will spend the
summer in the mountains. j. L. Eason,
a worthy young man, has received an APP

We have never claimed anything
like mental equipoise, but we are surely
not fool enough TO attempt a letter on
Florida, when your columns have recent
ly contained so much concerning that
State, written by the foremost descrip-
tive writer of the day. \ few days after
we arrived at Barlow, Bro. Barnes wrote

was also. Now, Bro. Barnes wrote truly
as TO his own condition, bat was nistak

pose you 10; nearly all editors do-that
when man j. intoxicated he imagines,
every one is flying along with him. The
climate was lovely beyond our concep-
ton and we were delighted; but believ-
ing in Temperance in all things, we kept
sober and took the best care OF the good
evangelist when he INDUCED to excess.
We think, therefore, that we looked at

cold one in the South. Even under this
unusual state of affairs there were only
about half dozen times when fire was
needed but then we needed it as much
as we ever did in Kentucky. Their best
proyision for fire is small stove with
pine run through the window. After

small sticks of pine into the stove and
fire up. You then put on yourovercoat,
get very close 10 the stove, let your i'm

Another way they have of heating the

call it a large cast.iron lamp, with two
