CREAM or NEWS.
The Three Oldest.


J. Gish, Dr.. Hickman, aud D.. Gaine
are the only old doctors II
the city. Dr.. Gish Is somewhat fee
Bile aud con1ues his practice pretty
much TO those who are able to call a
hrs office. lie belongs TO the homeo'
psthic school and has for years en-
joyed very large AMI lucrative
practice. He Is with the exception
of DR.. Gaines, the oldest resident
physician in lIopkinsville. DR.. II
W. Gaines, Of tho alopathic school,
Is In vigorous health. The years
that come and go do not rest heavily
upon him, and to-day he looks almost
AS hale as he did twenty years ago
lie is AS fond of telling or listening to
ike as ever, and bids fair to
practice his profession Tor many
years to come. DIR. Hickman, who
has lived here as long as the two
other named gentlemen, though moi in
such vigorous health as DIR. Gaines,
is always able and willing TO respond
t. the call of the suffering. lie Is an
slopalhic and since locating In this
city some 20 years ago has built up a
large practice. All three OF these
excellent physicians are held in the
highest esteem, not only IN the lami-
lies in which they have been called
10 attend the sick but by all ourpeople.
Aud truly may 1t be said OF them
that none in our midst have been
more faithful TO duty than they
no one hiss ever called on them in
vain. While they have seen genera
tons come and pass away from
the world, they are still spared to
munster to. the wants of suffering
humanity. May many years yet be
added to their useful lines.
Peerless MinstreIs' Entertainment.
The Peerless Minstrels Will repeat
their recent delightful entertainment,
for the benefit of the Peerless FIRE
boys, at the Opera House on next
Thursday evening, the l9.h. The
sale of seats will commence at Gal
breath's this morning, and parties
can secure reserved seats without any
extra charge by calling there. The
program to be presented Is one Of the
most attractive ever presented in this
city by amateurs, and the fact that
ihs affair is under the efficient man
agement OF Miss Emily b. Perry l.
sufficient guarantee that every thing
will DO done in order and render the
entertainment worthy Of the success
that crowned the former one. The
cause Is worthy, and every citizen OF
Hopkinsville should patronize 1t.

A Big Extension.
Mcssrs. Bockee, Garth & Shredder,
whose tobacco siemmery is situated
on North Main street, are increasing
the capacity OF their building about
one-forth its present size. These
gentlemen are operating one of the
leading industries Of the city. Near
~ fifty hands are employed by them
and when the addition to their build
Ing is complete 1t will be one of the
largest of its kind in this section of
the State. Mr. w. A. Lowry, the
local manager of the firm, is "the
right man in the right place." and
knows as well as anybody how to
the business. Ed. Tandy,
the book-keeper ani all-round man,
fits the place he fills to perfection.
Knocked Senseless by an Unknown.

Mr.. l.. r. Davis, was returning home
on last Saturday night at 10 o'clock.
some unknown party struck himonthe
head with rock knocking him sense
less. His cries brought assistance
and he was taken 10 his home near
by. His wound is not of much con-
sequence, the shock being caused by
The force of the blow. There is no
clue to the bold offenders as Davis
heard nor saw no one near him
when the rock was thrown.
