Last Friday was holiday with the
Catholics of this vicinity. There were
services at the Catholic church. Rev
Ford officiating.
Rev. Rutledge, pastor OF the Baptist
church, is holding protracted me, ting
here, assisted by Rev.. II. IL. Hibbs, Of
Central City, Ky.
The candidates are announcing them
selves early, but il will be some little
time yet before the races for the various
offices are made up.
Kincheloe, Meador & Board bought
30 foot lot on Main street of James
Gardner last week and will soon begin
the erection OF a new drug store.
Mr.. Owen Cunningham is favorably
mentioned as the man for the county
court clerk ON that ticket next year
Mr.. Cunningham made good race four
years ago.
Mr.. Fred Kaye, Vine Grove, was here
last week. Mr.. Kaye is member of the
firm of Kaye, Mattingly & Hoben, this
place, and is occasionally here to look
after the business.
Some parties bought few feet Of
ground on Main street last week at $40
per foot and they regarded it as bar
gain Lots for building purposes on
Main street are not at all plentiful and
this makes them the more desirable.
We doubt whether another foot could
be bought for less than $40.
Mr.. Joseph Kremer, the city baker,
who has been sick for the last three
months, was out last week. He was able
to go to his store and do some baking for
the first time in three months. From
this time on Mr.. Kremer will be able to
furnish fresh bread, light rolls, cakes,
pies, ETC., to this community regularly
every week. He also has a nice line of
confectioneries and Christmas goods for
the holidays. Call and see Mr. Kremer.

IN ASHES.
Cloverport Is Visited Again
By a Big Fire.
DR.. Lightfoot's Residence Goes Up
in Flames Early Last Wed
nesday Morning.
EVERY THING is A TOTAL LOSS.

DR.. J. F. Lightfoot's residence former.
ly the DIR. Warfeld property on High
street, between First and Second in this
city was completely destroyed by fire at
2 o'clock last Wednesday morning. The
particulars are about as follows:
DIR. Lightfoot moved to Hawesville
Monday and Tuesday Mr.. John p.
Beverly, tobacconist from Henderson
moved into the building. The house
was heated and lighted by natural gas,
and tie new occupants, not understand
ing the nature of gas, did not know how
to properly manage it, Late in the night
the pressure of the gas grows stronger,
as all business houses where it is used
are closed and the lights turned of.
Mrs. Beverly, unfortunately, left the gas
burning in her kitchen stove, and as the
pressure became stronger the fire burned
larger and the heat grew more intense.
Finally the floor or ceilings were ignited,
and the destruction of the property was
begun.
When the flames were discovered the
kitchen l. was nearly compl, tely de-
stroyed, and there was no possible chance
to save either the house or its contents.
The occupants OF the building were bare
ly able to save themselves, by rushing
out and dressing in the street
The alarm OF fire was sounded by cries
and the ringing of church bells and soon
neary the entire city was at the scene of
destruction,
Valient work was done to save the
two story frame occupied by Geo. w.
Jordan, which stood only a few feet
away. Blankets and carpets were hung
over the caves, these were kept constant
ly wet by the pouring OF water from
buckets. The smoke houses and other
out-buildings and fences were torn down
to prevent the spread of the flames.
Mr.. Jordan's residence was saved
though his furniture was slightly injured
by being carried into the street and back
again. DIR. Lightfoot's loss is fully 5000.
Mr.. Beverly lost about $500. He had
just invested the day before 500 in new
furniture and carpets. There is no in
surance on any thing that was destroyed.

The reader Of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional
treatment Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly on the blood
aud mucous surfaces OF the system,
thereby destroying the foundation OF
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.

its curative powers, that they offer One

fails to cure. Send for list Of testimon-

Tribute to the Memory of Mr.. Pierce, by
One Who Loved Him For His Worth

OF the irreparable loss sustained by the
family, in the death Of Hon. r. r. Pierce
| will not here speak, but l have deemed
it only meet to speak of him as a fellow
citizen and OF the loss sustained by the
community of which he was so conspic-
uous, useful and honored citizen.
Mr. Pierce is dead but his impress is
indelibly and lastingly fixed on his town
and community. Words are not neces-
siry to keep alive his memory. So long
as the whistle of a "Texas" locomotive
is heard, so long will his indomitable
energy and unfagging industry be pro-
claimed and kept in memory in this
community and along the line of the
railroad so long as the smoke rolls from
the numerous chimneys of houses built
by HIM in Cloverport, so long will his
love Tor, and faith in Cloverpoit and his
progressive spirit be known and talked
oil here; so long as the melodious bell of
the Baptist church peals out its notes of
invitation to come to Christ, SO long will
1t be known and remembered that Mr..
Pierce was faithful man of God and
Jealous in the cause of Christianity. A
monument over his last resting place
may be reared by loving hands, but it is
not needed in order to keep him in
memory. His monuments have been
erected by his own hands all about MS
and at every turn in our little city, his
band has carved, not his name, but bis
deeds in structures of brick, stone and
steel; and his labors and upright, pro-
gressive life have carved his "memory
lines" in the hearts of those who have
hVed with and near him, and who have
learned to love and respect him.
One who loved him for what he was
and Tor what he did, writes this as tri-
butte OF the heart to his memory.

Mr.. c. f. Sommers, business manager
of the Elizabethtown News, is candi-
date for Sergeant-at-Arms OF the State
Senate. His chances seem to be very
good for the place, and the News is sorry
it hasn't a vote to give him to help swell
his majority. We don't know Mr.. Som
mers intimately, but we do his brother,
Harry, than whom a more congenial,
warm-hearted man is not to be fonnd in
the state, and for this reason we are glad
his brother is to be rewarded. We
don't know how Senator Cross feels in
the matter, but we should like for him
to give Mr.. Sommers some consideration
for the Office for which he aspires.

THE Perry County Farmers's Institute
met at Rome on the Sth inst. and held
an interesting and instructive session
lasting two days. The Institute was not
as we'll attended as it should have been,
though those present discussed the sub
iects before them in manner that
showed they were not only practical
farmers, but had, also, given much
thought to scientific theories as well.
These Institutes are proving to be OF
much benefit to progressive agricultur-
lists of the Hoosier state, and we hope
soon TO see them inaugurated in this
state. Surely something OF this kind
would lift many OF our slOw-going farm
ers out OF their old ruts.

Of Captain w. ID. Druse and stated
