placed in the vessel. and she Will have no
other means Of propulsion.
The citizens Of Clinton have accepted a

the Clinton and take Anderson county's
exhibit 10 the World fair on il. The boat
will be finished by August, when the COW
boy preacher captain Will start on his

Theodore O'Hara, an Irish Kentuckian
