The question Of selling the present
Baptist Parsonage and building a

agitated by the Ladies Aid Society,
Members of the church 50 far as

There is considerable diversity of
opinion as to the probable yield of the
growing crop of wheat. Some say
fifty per cent. less than an average

DR.. j. NJ. Pendleton and wife have
been on visit to their many relatives
here for several days. DR.. Pendleton
preached two very able sermons at the
Baptist church last Sunday morning
and evening. His congregations
were large. His wife, though blind,
is as cheerful, entertaining, and as
bright as she can be. They go from
here to Bowling Green for few days,
and then they will make visit to
their old home in Pennsylvania. DR..

The town and community is almost
unanimous for Tom Poore for Clerk
of Court of Appeals. In the first
place Judges say the Office has been
run better in the last few years, than
it ever was run before. Then Tom
Poore is from Southern Kentucky,
hailing from Hickman county. 1t is
high time Southern Kentucky was
getting some of the offices. But the
main reason that Christian county is
so strong for Poore, is that our own
Sam Gaines is to be Chief deputy.
Sam Gaines is to-day the best Demo
crat in Christian county. Whenever
we have had a fight to make, he has
invariably come to our rescue; not
only in State and County affairs, but
even in the city elections at Hopkins
vile. Jim McKenzie's friends feel
that they can't do too much for Sam
Gaines. He deserves the compli-
ment. So let us all turn out en- masse
and do our duty. Poore first, last, and
all the time.
