armed with sticks. The dog, painting

French Royalists venerate This Relic
of Louis XVII.

Y
Of Louis XVII.
Publicity has been given to sin
gular ceremony which took place re-
Gently ct Neuilly-sur-Seine, in the
course Of which a reliquary was
handed to Count Urban de Maille,
representing the DUO de Madrid, by
M. Edouard Drumont, in the pres
ence ola group of legitimist notabili-
ties and o notary. This reliquary,
says the London Telegraph, consist
ed Of a crystal oviform vase, opening
in the middle and surmounted by a
fieur de lis in copper gilt. In it was
suspended dried human heart, and
at the bottom of the vessel were
some pieces Of broken crystal. The
heart, II certain documents and ira
ditions are to be accepted, was that
of Louis XVII, and the proceedings
opened with the reading Of an auto
graph letter from Don Carlos, in
which the writer thanked Mr.. Dru-
mont for the homage which he had
paid to this precious relic Of the royal
martyr, which he, the prince, &C
cepted In order that 1t might be de-
posted in the chapel of the castle
of Frohsdorf.
AS in such a matter everything
depends upon the genuineness of the
relic, the solemn declaration Of the
donor was regarded as a pious proof
of its royal origin. He affirmed,
raising his hand as Frenchmen do In
a court of law, that the heart was
certainly the one which he had in
herited from his mother, and that it
came into her possession from the
hands of NJ. Gabriel Pelletan, who in
his turn had treasured it for fifty
three years, he having rediscovered
it at the archbishropic and recog-
nized it as the one which his father
had intrusted to Mgr. de Quelan.

as to abstract the heart Of the Young
king when BE- conducted post-mor-

order of the comite de surete gem

heart as an object of alteration and

Bourbons endeavored to restore 1t to

1t might be handed to the royal

Then came the revolution OF 1880,

The vase was broken in the court

Receipts smallest for the season,
safes very light, and no change in
prices from last week; quality very
poor were the leading features of the
week. The 1896 crops all cured up
very good color, and need rain very
bad to make colors run. Some of the
farmers think the tobacco will not
weigh out so well as the 1894 crop
did. But the 1895 crop has more
spread OF leaf and length and will be
much more desirable than the 1894
crop with the worm cut in it, which
will make good snuff tobacco,
a kind all the markets have been
very bare of for several years.
think the damage from worm cut and
frost will not have any effect on prices
on this market. However it is the
unexpected that happens in the to-
bacco trade.

CUBAN REVOLUTION.
Rev. j.. o. Rust discussed This subject IN

| aSermou.
Rev. J. o. Rust, pastor of the
Edgefeld Baptist Church preached
last nighton the subject Of the Cuban
Revolution. He took his text on the
story of the Good Samaritan as told
| in Luke X: 1926.
The speaker first gave descrip-
| ton of the island, its topography, and
beauty and of its natural conditions,
its resources, its climate and other
gifts of divine donation, and said
with all this abundance of richness
and located as it is in the heart of
this advancing western civilization
Cuba should be in most prosperous
condition. He said this was not true,
however, as in fact the island was
bankrupt and poor, beaten and pill
LACED by her oppressor. He spoke of
the lack of progress and the unde-
velopment of the country, which was
apparent on every hand. He spoke
Of how the Island had been oppressed
by Spain and said it was no wonder
the women were sad, the men gloomy
and the children morose. He said
Spain, the oppressor of Cuba, was
always the friend of royalty and
ecclesiasticism. Spain has a popu-
lation of 100000 and 100000
of them can neither read nor write.
Roman Catholicism is the state re-
ligion, and Protestants are permitted
to worship only in private. He said
no wonder such nation has lost all
her American possessions save Cuba
and Porto Rico. Mr.. Rust favored
recognizing by Congress the Cubans
as belligerents at its next session.
He declared all the conditions existed
for such declaration according to
the rules of international law. He
then explained those rulings in de-
tail.-Nashville Banner.

BRADLEY AN 4. ?. a.
Startling Information About the kepubit-

can Candidate.
The Elizabethtown News is respon--
sible for the following:
While in Louisville last week we
heard very interesting story of how
Billy Bradley, in search of votes, be-
came member of the secret political
organization known as the A. p. A..
The story comes from member of
that order and bears every semblance'
OF truth upon its face, and the infor-
mant says Bradley will not deny it.
He says that certain lodge of the A.
p. A. in Louisville decided by vote
to support Petit for Governor, and as
soon as this was done certain well
known hotel man who is Republican,
and an A. p. A., sent man to Temp
kinsville with word to Bradley to,
come to the city quick on important
business; that Bradley Cancelled his
appointment to speak at Tompkins--
vile and came to the city. This hotel
friend took Bradley to a conference
with some of the leading A. P. AS in
the city, and that he bradley remon-
strated with them for throwing their
votes away on Petit and urged them
to support him. One of the confer
ees said: "Mr. Bradley what assur-
ance have we that if we support you
and you are elected Governor, that
you will not appoint Catholics to Of
fice?" Bradley promised that he
would not do this, but this did not
satisfy them and finally he said, as
an evidence of good faith he was will
ing to JOIN the order, and that night
he took the oath and was regularly
initiated. Our informant says that
Bradley will not deny that he is an

The Fair Was a success.

| The fifth annual meeting of the
fair, three days of last week, proved
to be the most successful ever held
The crowds were larger, the exhibits
fuller and the attractions better than
any previous year. This in spite of
the lateness of the date, and the in
clemency of the weather on the last
day. While the crowds were good,
they were not up to the oldtime out
pourings and reunions that we used
to see. In recent number of the
Farmers Home Journal DR.. G. Fl.
Todd had an article on this subject,
from which we take this extract: 81
wish to say that the decadence of the
ideal county fair in Kentucky com
menced some years ago when the am
phitheatre enclosing large circle for
the exhibition of ring horses and cat
tie was abandoned for the grand
stand and its track. Pardon me for
citing an instance illustrative of this
TACT by reference to the history of the
Lexington fair. l well remember the
year the Lexington fair abandoned
the amphitheatre for the grand stand
conversation | had with one of Fay
cite county's most esteemed and hon
ored citizens-one whose heart was in
the success of the county fair-when
he said: This change will mark the
decadence of Kentucky's great fair
San ideal county fair requires
some fifty acres of land, an amphi-
theatre enclosing circle for the ex
hibition of ring horses aud cattle,
floral and agricultural hall, grand
stand and a half mile track, shady
grove, fine music, side shows of all
kinds, small admittance, all vehicles
and horses free, no gambling and
everything done for the comfort and
pleasure of the crowd.
1.-THE future for the ideal county
rair' in Kentucky was never brighter.
The time has come when the horse
breeders Of Kcntucky will NO longer
go, after false gods, but they will
realize the fact that it is to their in.
terest to enter their horses in every
ring at all of the ideal county fairs
in their vicinity"
DR. Todd will be borne out ~
every one who can call to mind the
glorious days prior 70 ,he war when
the fair was looked forward to year
after year with emotions of the great
eTt pleasure by De people of this and
euJol..A.s uvunClos. .ao3o Woiu
happy days that people love to call
to mind. We then had splendid
amphitheatre and magnificent rings
OF show horses, trotting and saddle
horses throughout the day.
The fair company became dis
couraged and the old amphitheatre
was torn down and the grounds were
plated and sold into town lots not
long ago. If our fair directors would
replace the amphitheatre with an
other one and return 10 the old-fash-
Toned fair, with its big pumpkins, it's
baby shows and it's all day program
and dinners on the ground, and hold
it early in September, we would
probably see more of the old-time
crowds and county reunions.
