We came through the town of Grand
Rivers, KY, the other day. We only
stopped for a moment for large straw
berry blonde shote to back up against a
hot box aud warm his person.
The town was once for few weeks
thronged with people, all quarreling
over lots and struggling to be the first
on the ground. Now this old yellow
hog, with white eye winKers, owns the
place. The massive hotel rose TO the
second story and stopped there. The
school building, untrodden by little
feet, stands with its hand behind its
ear apparently listening for the echoes
of childish laughter which never, never
come.
The Herald Office didn't even have
time to get out al equestrian bill, and it
is too clean TO show activity. The editor
hardly had time to utter the words
"Dinna ye hear the slogan?" before the
town had taken wings and fed. His
rusty slogan, with Sl9 express charges
on is, still stands behind the door.
He did not even have time to call
halt before the boom burst and broke all
the window glass in town. | presume
there are $50 houses, large aud small. at
Grand Rivers, but no geraniums grow
In the windows. No wheelbarl oWs to
fall over stand 0y the open gate. No
baby carriages scare the horses on the
street. No honest Waterbury watchdog
comes out to gnsw the ear Of the sandy
shote or bark at the train. As we pause
there to fulfill our time card provisions,
= thin, cream colored hog eats little
axle grease from the cars, warns his
person against hot box and goes back
TO his melancholy exile, roofing up sur
yeyors' stakes ADD eating the angle
worms that grow where once the livery
stable was at
You remember how everybody gets
pauicky when the train stops out on

the road agent season and how there is

tell everybody else what the matter is.
He does not really need TO know what
the matter is. just something TO tell
the people is all he needs. Il attracts
attention and gives the passengers
something to talk about till the truth is
ascertained.
