A good audience aud excellent behav'

ing to teach. J. w. Smith, Prin. 5t
-Messrs. W. G. Pettus and w. ii.
Beazley have returned from Louisville,
where they bought an elegant line OF
Nmas goods
The Dramatic Club, which is under
the management of j. B. Gilkerson, Will
give an entertainment sometime during
the holidays We don't say that any Of
the actors are better than Booth or Bar
rett, or that any of the girls can sing
equal to Jenny Lind, or rival Mary An
dcrson, but no little town can get up a
better entertainment than G. ..
Hon. Fontaine Fox Bobbitt has
moved from his historic home, Buge
/ Mongue, TO the farm of his sister. Mrs.
Catherine McAlister, and his herd OF
/ Shorthorn cattle now roam the blue
grass pastures. and the people of this

There il no truth ia the rumor that

That cour,lv gentleman, Hon. Hen
~ T.. Huston, OF pdducah, spent sun
day with friends here. lie was the re-
publican nominee Tor lieutenant govern
or and a colonel in the Confederate ar
my. We often see those who wore the
blue in the democratic ranks, but seldom
see one VITO fought for the Lost Cause in
/ full fellowship with the republicans. We
agree with Mr.. Huston that the people
should vote according to the present Is
I sues. and not because Pap tit with Lee
or followed sherman TO the sea.
Mr.. J.. T. lawless, OF Lexington. but
1 formerly of this place, has returned
home, after several days stay with
/ friends here. We are sure no one who
ever returned to c. O. is more welcome
than he. Mr.. J.. is about 80 years old,
/ but is Just ~ spry rs when lac rushed
into the bayonet charge at Buena Vista.
I Now il any one thinks We are joking
about this old veteran Just banter hun
/ for a wrestle, or il you want scrap just
call on him. He can dance Chicken in
the bread tray 10 perfection.
Patsy Carson, an old colored wo-
man. died Tuesday. She was one of the
/ best known darkies in this part OF the
county At one time her weight was
I $50 pounds. Her memory was perfectly
wonderful. There was scarcely a person
| in &. q. whose age she did not know;
and most all born in the last 20 years
she could give both time and place OF
their birth She could quote more
Scripture than most any preacher. But
with this extraordinary mind she died
an inmate OF the poor-house and was TAX
EN- to her last resting place in pauper
coffin.
james Walker, bill poster, egg
counter, porter and teller for ID. g..
Slaughter, was fined $3.50 for drunken
and disorderly conduct Not being able
to pay the fine he was put to work on
the streets. On account OF the high po-
sitions he has held heretofore he wasn't
placed in Jail at night, but was made a
trusty. Going to his mothers house
that night he took feather bed and
some be6 clothes, which he sold for -
and left for Middlesboro where he will
90 into the real estate business. We
wish the gentleman much success.
A short time !ago there was some
dissatisfaction because there was no {,
o. letter in the INTERIOR Journal. As
we were out of business at that time, VT
thought to please the people and benefit
the editor we would write few lines
But OF all people the correspondent has
the hardest row to weed, except dis
trict school teacher Each often has to
furnish brick without the straw. Again
tits hard to find out all the titled nobili-
