Asa Oldham, col, drunk, case con
tinued until tomorrow. ~
Anthony Blakey, col, shooting in
city limits, fined s. and costs.
Eliza Buclner, col, was arrested
yesterday on a warrant sworn out by
DIR. Hopson, charging her with disor.
derby conduct. The woman, who was
cook at DR.. Hopson's was not giving
satisfaction and was told-to take what
wages were due her and leave. She
refused to do either, and owing to her
violent temper, became very abusive,
hence the swearing of out the warrant
She was carried before Judge Brasher,
who discharged her with the explicit
understanding that she yacate DR.
Hopson's premises as soon as she
could collect and pack her goods and
chattels." When taken by the officers
she fought them like maniac.

HoPKiNsvILLE, KY, Jan. lS, 80.
Permit me through the columns Of
your paper to express my gratitude tc
the friends who SO generously sup
ported me in the primary election Sat.
uaday, Jan. 1lth, assuring them Of my
appreciation OF the high compliment
paid me in giving me the nomination
over two such popular and competent
gentlemen. And to those who in
their honest Judgment thought best
to vote against me for either Of my
opponents, / desire to say that do
not cherish the slightest resentment
OF i'll will. Af
Recognizing the fact that in this
friendly family contest in our own
party, the interest Of the party sue
cess next August is paramount to any
individual advancement, and while
there may. have been differences as to
who would best subsege the party's
interest in the coming contest, they
are all settled now, and we are all
cemented together for one common
end namely Democratic victory at
the August election. Vs.
l am not unmindful Of the respon-
sibility placed upon me and fully rea-
lie the work before us. promise
now that what little ability and energy
l possess shall be concentrated in one
object only-and that is success for
the whole Democratic ticket.
Yours truly,
WIN. CowAN.

Ba1my Sleep"

"The covering of a bed ought to be
light As WI rs warm. Wooden blankets
ar, { r more healthfnl han heavy COM
fortables and quilts, which admit of no
ventilation, but instead, absorb and re-
tain the exhalation of the body" The
foregoing is a we'll established fact Of
hygene. If a man will 1--we longer if he
sleeps under blankets, why do so many
farmers sell their wool at a low price
when they can have it made into such
nice blankets upon easy terms, at the
Leaksvine Mills. A sight and touch Of
these feecy blankets makes one wish it
were night and winter.
Send US your wool through your agents,
or several together, with seal attached to
youc letter of instructions how you wish
it manufactured, and thus get the benefit
of our special terms to the Alliance.
Write to US for samples.

KNEW THE VALUE OF ADV CE

When D. K. Tenney was admitted to
the bar he was one of the boys" He
enjoyed a good time as we'll as anyone.
and the following story is told of him
He went to a country dance near Mad
ison, Wis, n night and became smitten
with one of the country girls He danced
with her nearly all the evening regardless
of the fact that a certain six-footer in the
room kept watching him threateningly.
Finally a friend approached.
"Dan," he said, edo you see that big
fellow on the other side Of the room? p
Yes"
"Wel, he's going to lick the life out
of YOU; ; ~ 49,,

the evening"

Well, if [ were you I'd put on my

away from here just as quick as I could. "
The embryo lawyer said never a word,
but reached in his pocket and pulled out
a 81 bill.
What are you doing?" asked the
friend.
"Take it."

"Take it." repeated Tenney, Give

A CITY LIFE PICTURE.

Surely the ciyilizati n Of the nineteenth
is out Of gear when a great metropolitan
paper like the New York Herald can talk
after this FASH On:
"Hold up, there! Don't growl too
fercely at those cloakmakerS who got up
a riot and thereby made fools Of them
selves! Yes, they were wrong in resort
ing to violence, and undoubtedly the only
thing to do with a man who swings a
club is to hustle him off to the station
house. But look at this picture and then
let your criticisms be made more in s r
row than in anger There is something
radically wrong in u social ecoLomy
when such a sketch can be called reals
tic and truthful. Henry Simon got bail
and went home Home, you say Well,
let US see. It consists Of two rooms and
a dark hole. His wife is sick, poor crea
ture. He has six children, ranging from
two years old to fourteen. Eight per-
sons in two rooms and a dark hole! Is
that a home? And they had nothing to
eat-were starving. All the bedding and
what little furniture they nee possessed
had gone to the pawnshop-for bread.
When Simon Joined the wild crowd he
was on his way to sell a couple of towels
to get a breakfast for his children. New
York-the nineteenth century 500
churches-a man ~pawning two towels to
buy a loaf. Behold the results of the
cursed, damnable sweating system. Isn't
a screw loose somewhere when we have
aristocrats with countless millions at n
end of society, and rank, r~iotous, violent
and pestiferous Anarchists at the other;
men who only know that something is
wrong, and want to blow the world up
with dynamite because any change would
be for the better? Yes, thos9 rioters
were fools; but aren't some Of the rest Of
US fools also ?-Ruraz World.
