CATTLE SOLD

Most of the large sellers bought up
cattle last winter at very cheap rates
and the high prices enabled them to
realize handsome profits. Quite a
number of them made two hundred
per cent. on their inves ments.
The weather was clear and favora-
BILE, though a trifle too warm, and
nothing occurred to mar the success
of the days business.
The crowd, owing to the absence OF
free dinner, was not as large as
usual, but the attendance was large
enough and everything was more
satisfactory. No one present failed
to get enough to eat, as the generous
and hospitable grangers invited every
body, strangers and all, and after the
large crowd had been fed, and well
fed at that, many basketsful of frag-
ments were gathered up. There were
none OF the disgraceful scenes around
the table that had characterized past
occasions, but everything was done
decently and in order, most of the
tables being spread on the ground
picnic fashion.
The usual committees had charge
of the various branches of the sale
An abundance of ice-water was sup
piled for all, the carriages and vehicles
were all kept in place and the stool
pens were presided over by competen
committeeman. The sale was finish
ed before dinner, owing to the spiritec
bidding.
DR.. b. S. Wood, Boales & Girard
w. j. Withers and other local dealers
were the principal buyers.
After dinner Mr. Clarence G.
Givens made a political speech il
the school house and ths
candidates took possession of the out
side crowd and We'd with each othe
in their attentions to the voters. /
was a great day all round.

Capt Ellis recent tariff speech elic-
tied the following compliment from
the New York Sun: "The next speaker
was gentleman from Kentucky. He
had smooth face and boyish ap-
pearance. 1t was Hon. W. T. Ellis
1t was his maiden speech. The Ian
guage was chaste, the argument COM
pact and the ideas clearly expressed
1t was a speech that stimulated
thought and commanded attention
Kentucky may well be proud of the

Lippincotts Magazine for June is a
brilliant and eminently readable mum
Der. The complete novel is contribu-
ted by Mary f. Stickner, and is ON
titled "Circumstantial evidence IT
is story of the MISUNDERSTANDING,
jealousies, and final reconciliation of a
young couple, told in natural and
charming manner. The story is full
of good situations, and here and there
verges upon the tragic, but "all's well
that ends WELL" The character Of the
impetuous, passionate "Nita," the
young wife, is capitally drawn, as is
also that of her husband. Altogether
it is a very entertaining story, and
though no moral obtrudes itself, it
certainly points one, and q good,
strong, healthy one, TOO.

DAYS OF REGISTRATION:
June 6, Z, Is and IA ut oil Voting
Places.

In his speeches at Church Hill and
in the court house last week Mr..
Givens attempted to answer the
charges of inconsistency brought
against him by the KENTUcKlAN. He
admitted supporting Laffoon, who in
troduced two public building meas
ures in one session, while he is now
opposing Ellis, who has introduced
but one. His explanation was that
none of Laffoon's three opponents in
1886 made the question an issue and,
as they all occupied the same posi-
ton, he voted for Laffoon for personal
reasons, without endorsing his record.
This explanation may be satisfactory
in Mr.. Givens' mind, but it is strange,
very strange, how he can reconcile
his duty as conscientious citizen
with the support of a candidate whose
course in "robbing" the people rem
dered him, in his estimation, unfit to
be trusted with seat in Congress.
The plain truth is that Mr.. Givens'
position on this question is simply
ridiculous. 1t has been the policy of
the government for many decades to
expend stated amount every year in
pnblic buildings located in
important cities and towns. Both
parties have alike advocated it. Many
cities haye secured these improve
ments and Congressman have We'd
with each other in their efforts to
make themselves "solid" by getting
appropriations for their districts. 1t
is fact that bill was at one time
proposed, and is likely to be passed
some day, to erect public building
in every town of 5000 people. This
ought to be done. The government
is abundantly able to own its own
postoffices and custom houses. This
plank of Mr.. Givens' platform is as
unique and original as his other idea
that he ought to be elected to Con-
gress and kept there until he grows
gray in the service or catches Bright's
disease or some other popular malady
from excessive and protracted high
living. 1t is hard to understand how
any man could object to having .
portion of the governments savings
expended on improvements in his
own district or town, and we do not
believe there are fifty men in Chris
tian county who would not like to see
Hopkinsville get nice public build
ng. 1t would give employment
TO the laboring men and scatter
thousands of dollars over the county
to find their way into the avenues OF
local trade. Let Mr.. Ellis promise
such building as a certainty and his
majority would be 1000 in the county
and even the Republicans would be
ready to move to make it unanimous.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together and until the last few
years it was supposed to be incurable
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
f. j. Cheney g. Co., Toledo, Ohio, is
the only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. 1t
acts directly upon the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for circulars

While the fading moon in her al
ternate course withdraws her light,
and the setting stars invite sleep,
the last leaf III the grand astronomi-
cal and cycntful political book of
the year 1889 is just being turned ;
and we bow our heads in reverence
while the death knell of the old year
is being sounded.
Vivid recollections of the past
Of pleasures enjoyed, of SORROWS eX-
perienccd, privileges neglected and
improved, opportunities accepted
and rejected, fortunes made and
broken, character elevated and de
graded, virtue exalted and debased,
crime encouraged and restrained,
pass with flashing rapidity through
our minds, and in CONSERVATION we
wonder what the import is of this
spectral catalogue of mingled tr-
umphs and disasters. Out of an
other chaos, as it were, rising high
above the midnight darkness, as il
in answer to our inquiry, Father
Time, with measured tread and III
stentorian tones, declares to the
lreamy sleeper that He has seal
ed the book and 1889 is now num-
bered with its predecessors in gilt
tering figures on the pillars of eter
nifty. Weary of contemplation, the
lonely sleeper falls calmly into re
pose, unmindful of visions, ol
things transpiring around him
The darkness merges into deeper
night. All nature is hushed, TIL,
silence unbroken, except the res
sonance of the doleful durge, nc
comparing the departed year, when
time, ever watchful, ever progres
sing, slowly lifts the sable mantle o
darkness and the shimmering rays
of 1905 newborn sun illuminat,
the earth and fill the world will
gladness
Soon earth's army of sleeperi
arise, and looking eastward, behold
the monarch of day. arrayed in all
the splcndor and magnifcence o
the celestial thrown, step into hi
ETHEREAL chariot, and ride gracefully
through the emblazoned portals o
the horizon into the high vault OF
heaven, bearing the frament''
coronet of good wishes and happy
new-year onward to its balmy goal
