day carried seven newly sentenced

Says the Cadiz Telephone: "The
l.. d N. lease of the G. & p. division
to the Ohio Valley Railway Com
pany has been lodged for record in
the County Clerks Office of this coun.
ty. The term of the lease is ninety
nine years, with privilege of renewal
on the same terms forever. The dis
tance from Gracey to Princeton is
20 7-l0 miles. The rails now in use
are TO be replaced with new steel rails
of standard weight, and to be in good
condition by the first day of July,
1892, the consideration being the
sum of $240, 794.25, TO be paid in semi
annual installments of $6,019.S5, be-
ginning on the 1st day of January,
1893. 1t is further stipulated that the
Ohio Valley Railway Company shall
not within three years construct any
railroad connecting the o V. road,
or the part leased, with the city of
Clarksville, or the city of Nashville,
or to any point on the l.. & N. other
than the city of Hopkinsville. A
violation of this part of the contract
may abrogate the lease. The contract
was made and entered into on Jan.
26, 1892, and signed by M. Fl. Smith
for the l.. q N, and p. g. Kelsey for

Trigg county, says the Telephone,
is gradually securing more thorough
mail facilities. The latest addition is
the daily route which is to begin
July first from Cadiz to Linton via
Maple Grove. This service will sup
plant the tri-weekIy line now in op-
GRAFTON. Mrs. Sarah Weeks, of Lin.
ton, has the contract and her son, CO.
lumbus Weeks, will carry the mail
and express goods. We fear that un-
less the bridge to cross Caney Greek,
near town, for the erection of which
the Court of Claims recently made an
appropriation, is not built soon this
service will not be as efficient as it
should be on account of high water
preventing transportation. Henry
McIutyre, of the Canton district, bav-
ing perfected contract with the Star
Route superintendent, will begin to
carry the mail to and from Canton
July first.
The Confederate soldiers OF Pa
ducah, KY, have organized Con-

posed of one hundred old rebs, which

vice-commander, and Capt. J. M.
Browne adjutant.
The foreign stockholders in the
Union Pacific Railway combined to

The Russellville Herald says; "a
young man by the name Of Henry
Harry was paying attention to Miss
Mary Wilson. A desperate character
by the name of John Tobin, who was
in love with her also, picked quar-.
rel with Harry at ball to which he
had taken Miss Wilson, and shot
him. She drew revolver from her
pocket and shot Tobin in the head,
killing him. Harry will recover, and
he and Miss Wilson will we'd"
Editor Cause, of the Springfield
Herald, says he "would be glad to
have demonstration from some of
our people who know exactly how
this free coinage bill works, or how
it will benefit the Masses" The
masses understand it, Major, and
will show you the modus operandi in
due time.
The Russellville Herald thinks Mr..
Watterson political prophet. Says
Editor Coke: "Mr. Watterson, OF
the Courer-Journal, lie an interview
published in the Washington Post,
says that neither Hill nor Cleveland
could unite the party, and that con-
sequently neither should be nomi-
mated. Mr.. Waterson showed great
political foresight in his letter to Gov.
Hill in 1891. Every prediction made
in the letter has been verified so far,
and Meesrs. Cleveland and Hill are
in the attitude he said they would be
in if Hill persisted in running. The
people want Cleveland, and they
want him badly-and II HIPS course
should cause them, in the interest OF
party success, to put Cleveland aside
for some one else, Hill will have dug
his political grave so deep that he
will never be resurrected."
