taken as an index of their popularity, they
may in all verify be styled the ideal tours.

the rate, including round-trip transpora-
ton and meals and Pullman berth on
special train going, is $4,000 from New

portionate rates from other points. Tickets
for this tour will be good for return pas
sage on regular trains until May 81.

modations can be provided is necessarily

Present indications are that there
will be the largest crop OF apples ever
known in this section of the country.
The trees are fairly loaded with blooms.
The peaches are all entirely killed.
There will probably not be a peach in
the county.
"A large number OF our citizens went
to Barbourville Tuesday, expecting to
hear Col. Breckinrdge speak in the
Fields Adkins case, but they returned
sadly disappointed as the case had to be
suspended few day on account of one
OF the iurymen being sick.
Miss Lou Mckee returned from
Williamsburg last week, where she had
been for some time. Beulah Thompson
will entertain number OF her little
friends to an ice-cream supper this p. NJ,
it being her 9TH birthday. Mrs. X. NJ.
Jackson entertained the Shakespeare
Club last Monday evening. After the
reading Mrs. jackson invited the guests
to wash their hands, after which they
were taken to the dining room where ali
enjoyed themsel yes for couple of hours
pulling candy"
1T seems that Fate has spread it's
darkest wings over the Executive Man
sions, and the shadows fall thick and
fast. Only few short months ago, the
governor was bowed with grief cause d
by the death OF lovely daughter whom
he idolized. On the 18th OF April his
son, Arch Brown, was divorced from
his wife, and now this same son has
met an awful and tragic death. The
governor is irreconcilable. His friends
b ere sympathize with him in his be-
reavements and deep trouble.

The Casey republicans instructed for

and explain why he ran of and refused
to speak at the log cabin picnic at Liber-

because, such small fry as q. NJ. Dsvi

George Durham has announced him
self candidate for the Legislature, sub
iect to the action OF the republican par

both in ability and personal beauty. His
chances for the nomination are about
