WEBSTER.

The health of the country is distress.
ingly good, 80 says DIR. Tom. Mrs. Mike
Lyddan being the only patient in the
neighborhood, and she, we are glad to
say, is sitting up.
The farmers here are somewhat behind
this time owing to bad weather, most Of
them having the big half of their corn
land yet to break, same in regard to oat
crop. There will be more tobacco raised
here this year than for many years, if far
mers carry out their present intentions.
And now the good women folks are CIV
ing us old ROSTERS no end of trouble about
their gardens. truck patches, "ingon"
beds, and lettuce have rest please. But
beet us they will, and cabbage on to the
best team on the farm to work in that
same truck patch. But God bless the
pesky things, we can't get along without
them, and we, for one, don't want to try.
No! no!
There has been great revival of relig-
ion at the old Methodist church at Web
ster, Bro. +. A. Ross, of st. Louis, having
just closed series OF meetings with 38
conversions and 20 additions to the
church, catching in the general round up
such old sinners as j. p. Stewart and
wife; W. G. Claycomb, wife, and family
Ahmed Board, wife, and family; Clyde
English and sister, Addie; L. NJ. Ma
theny; DIR. Tom Hendricks and wife, and
others. Bro. Ross is hard hitter, giving
sin, satan, and his attributes no quarter,
and is pleasant, genial, companionable
gentleman withal.
AND NOW WHAT DO YOU KNOW?
Do you know that you can buy, at IT.
vington, two pitch forks for $3.50. You
can buy the same forks at Webster for 20
cents. Also that you can buy pruning
knife, at Irvington, for cash at cost, for
$l.5O, for which Mr.. Belknap only gets 80
cents?
That ]. p. Stewart has some good all
around horses to sell for cash or on good
time for good notes?
And do you know that right here in
Breckenridge county citizen can be
robbed, sued, and re-robbed by the courts
in the shape OF costs, and then be cut off
from all remedy by very small Magis-
trate who has more authority than
brains, and less sence Of justice than Of
either OF the above named qualities?
All because our laws allow the County
Attorney to practice law in the Magis-
trate's court in petty cases where there
can be no appeal, which should not be

A Breckenridge County Boy.

In letter to Mr.. A. B. Skillman, Mr..
Mike Blain, OF Stephensport, who is now
in Florida for his health has this to say |:
Enclosed find orange bloom, plucked
from one Of Mr.. Minor Stephens trees at
whose place I am stopping, and must
say that he has bright prospect here.
He has beautiful grove of sixty acres
in q high state Of cultivation and his
trees look thrifty. He gathered about
1000 boxes Of fruit this year and has a
prospect of doubling next year. His
grove is nicely situated on lake Holdings
worth"
Minor Stephens is son Of James G..
Stephens, of Holt, this county, and il is
gratifying to his many friends here to
know that he has such fattering pros
poets.

am about restored to health after nine
weeks illness. How could l, should 1
make the attempt, find words adequate
to express my gratitude to these dear poo
pie for their kindness, attention, and
sympathy shown me? only pray God

one ever suffer the ordeal / have that He
may raise up just such loving friends for
him or her as you have all been to me.
Already some of our citizens are max
ing arrangements and forming plans to
attend the Worlds Fair. Certainly ev-
cry one who can should be there. Not
only our own country's exhibit should
induce us, but it will almost be the same
as trip to the Old World. But-with
all your Ladies' Dormitories, your dollar
a-day European plan, your cheap schemes
l would hate to start without plethoric
pocket-book and would expect it to be
collapsed upon my return.
Miss Symmes never materialized in our
"burg" to form the club, but telegraphed
to Mrs. Richardson to do so. Now that
the "row" has taken place l presume our
club will go by the board. To hear the
men talk, read the papers, listen to the
reporters, one would suppose that men
never had a squabble, row, or fuss since
the world was formed, but that they were
full-fedged Angels, and that this un-
pleaantness is ''just like lot Of women"
Don't that rile a woman? Men expect,
and rightly expect, women to be better
than thems elves, therefore, we of the fe-
male pursusian all regret that the ladies
of our Kentucky club could not agree.

CLovERPoRT needs a new hotel and
needs it badly. The old Cloverport was
good enough in its day, but the growth
of the town and its business is beyond
the capacity of the old house. If the Tar
Springs are improved and opened as a
watering place this summer, which we
think is an assured certainty, then we
need good hotel building in this city to
accommodate the visitors who will spend
a part of their time here. Ten or fifteen
thousand dollars invested in a building
of this kind would be one Of the best pay
ing investments in the city. A stock
company should be formed at. once for
this purpose.

Raises Reflections In the Mind OF the Young
Druggist.
A handsome young Broadway druggist was
in talkativs mood the other day.

q reflective amile under his moustache
He pointed to q large assortment OF toilet ar
ticles temptingly arrayed. There were pow
der boxes and rouge fpots and the 1ufflest OF
puffs. There were rainbow rows OF perfum es
and toilet waters. There were salves OF all
sorts. and hair tonics galore. In short every
thing that the care Of the feminine face and
form could crave.
The handsome young druggist lifted box Of
powder. Its shape was clearly defined in the
undisturbed dust which had dsifted upon it.
They don't buy en-" he said.
