We cali attention to the statement
of the Nj. Sterling National Bank, to
be found in another column of this
issue. This is one Of the most SUBJ
stantial enterprises of our section.
The board of directors is composed of
first-class business men, each one of
whom enjoys the full confidence Of the
community. Its cashier is a gentle
man who has won for himself repu-
tation that might well be envied by
any one, for gentemanly bearing and
business sagacity. The bank points
with just pride to its record and in
vites a close scrutiny of its affairs.
No safer institution exists in the

Little Master O'Lynn, who is a
member of the "a Pair of Jacks"
company this season, has added three
new songs to his repertoire. One of
them called "He Never Came back"
is at present being sung by Eddie
Foy, in "Sinbad." ale Never Came
Back" is very funny song. 1t starts
out as though it was ballad, but the
music switches off into the realms of
comedy and the words are correspond
ingly funny. Foy usually takes half
a dozen encores on this song. Master
O'Lynn's other songs are 81 Am a

The fourth annual celebration of
the Satellites of Mercury closed on
Thursday night with the customary
pageant and ball. The subject of the
floats this year was the great discov-
erers of the world. The representa-
tons were elaborate and beautiful.
The procession was witnessed by
many thousands of visitors from this
and other States. The ball was a
magnificent affair. There were about
five thousand people in attendance,
and the impressive tableaux and
marches, the bewildering costumes
and the beautiful women made spec
tacle which will long be remembered
by every one present.

ONE DOLLAR
To see the Nancy Hanks-Al!erton
Race.

The report in circulation that the
Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders
Association intends charging two or
three dollars to see the race between
Aller:on and Nancy Hanks at Licking
ton, Thursday, Oct. 10, is untrue, and
without authority of the Club. We
adhere strictly TO old prices, and
during the meeting the price of ad-
mission will be only 81 for men and
80 cents for ladies, except on first day
when ladies will be admitted free.
The Association has gone to an i'm
mense expense and spent at least $780,
600 more than during any previous
year. We expect the public to pay it,
but not at extortionate prices. All we
ask is liberal patronage at 81, and
the public to turn out to our great
trots as many days as possible.
Parties from distance attending
the trots who do not desire hotel
accommodations should apply to r. S.
Strader ~ Son, IA East Main street,
for rooms. These gentleman are our
committee, and have under them
clerks to wait on the public, and boys
to show them quarters. This step has
been taken in order that no extortion
can be practiced on strangers.
Respectfully,

as he pays off some scores he owes the
jailor of Bath. Mr.. Upton has no let
up in him aud the man who escapes
from his keeping must 60 far and
hide well if he does not expect to re-
turn to castle Upton.

W. III. Fletcher, Auc.

Col. John w. Orear one Of the very
best citizens of this county met with a
painful and certainly very severe acct:
dent on Friday afternoon. A wagon
loaded with coal was being hauled TO
his home, when the mules baked at
the heavy load. Happening to be
near he got down to aid the driver in
starting the team. He had taken
hold of the wheel when the team gave
lunge that threw him under the
wheel, which passed diagonally across
his leg from just below the knee to
the ankle. He was assisted on his
horse and rode quarter of mile to
his home. BY the time physician
reached him his leg was so swollen
that it was almost impossible to ascer-
tain the exact extent of the injury
but tits certain that bones are broken
in more than one place, if indeed one
is not crushed. Col. Orear's age,
nearly IS, renders the hurt a very
serious one. AT this writing he is
suffering much pain from the broken
member.

The Lexington Trots.

The eyes of every trotting horseman
are now turned toward Lexington
where the greatest meeting ever held
will begin Monday, October 18th, and
continue through the week.
The Association has acted wisely in
offering an excellent programme on
the first day, when the ladies will be
admitted free. On that day the crack
two-year-olds meet, and horsesemen
predict that the winner will beat 2 20.
AS this is the only race in which they
(Monbars, Ralph Wilkes and Ammo
rean) meet, the crowd to see them is
certain to be large. On Tuesday
comes the Pennsylvania Stake, worth
at least $4,000; on Thursday the only
race ever trotted between horses with
records better than 2 :10-Nancy
Hanks 2 100 and Allerton 2 :094-will
be fought out. This will be the race
of the decade, if not of the century
and everybody should go to see it, nc
matter at what cost. On Saturday
the four-year-old stake, in which DR.
Sparks, Happy Bee, Belle Archer and
Valissa meet will be almost as
important; and Saturdays program
is one of the best of the week. The
meeting as whole has never had al
equal, and everybody should read the
program and 60 to the meeting.

On Thursday night miss Tennie
McEwan a most estimable young lady
of Frankfort, was the victim of a
drunken negro riot on train between
Louisville and Frankfort. The train
was crowded with people returning
from the Satellites parade at Louis
vile and many negroes as well as
white men were compelled to stand
in the aisles. William Wiley a white
man occupied seat by lady he was
escorting and left his seat to go to the
water cooler, when he returned he
found big negro named Watson had
occupied his seat beside the lady.
Upon the negroes refusal to vacate the
seat he pulled him W. All the ne
groes in the car rushed to the negroes
assistance and the whites began
crowding TO Wiley's aid. One of the
negroes fired pistol the ball entering
Miss McEwan's face just below the
eye. The shot is not necessarily fatal
but she will be disfigured for life.
