Grand Excursion to Louisville

On April 1st the Chesapeake &
Ohio railroad, through the compile
ton of the Shelbyville cutoff, be-
came a terminal line at Louisville.
Double daily vestibule trains are
run in each direction with through
service between Washington and
Louisville via Lexington. Trains
are limited vestibule throughout,
and the trains at night are lighted
by electricity. Only two stops,
viz, at Frankfort and Shelbyville,
are made between Lexington and
Louisville.
1t is for the purpose of introduce
ing this new independent short
line that the Chesapeake q Ohio
announces popular priced excur-
sion to Louisville, Friday,
May 18th, tickets being good on
limited express leaving Mt. Ster-
ling at sos a. M, reaching Louis
vile at IL a. m. Tickets will be
good returning on train leaving
Louisville at $3.50 p. M, May 18th,
or $3.50 a. M, May 10th. Stops
will be made in each direction at
Thompson, Hedges and L. & +.
functions. These three stations
are the only ones outside of Mt.
Sterling from which excursion rates
will apply on May 10Th. This is
guarantee against crowded trains.
1t is an unusual thing for a rail
road company to make popular
priced excursions by vestibule linn
tied trains, but in this case it is
done for the purpose of giving the
patrons taste of the superior reg
ular train service.
The spring races will be going onl

County Convention.

Saturday, May 80, 2 p. m, sun
time, is the date for the selection of
delegates to the State Conven-
ton which meets at Lexington,
June 3. 1t will be well for our
friends throughout the county to
bear in mind few things if they
desire to bear hand in selecting
delegates to the State Convention.
E@The county meeting is a
mass convention held at the Court
House.,
G-Saturday, May 30, at 3 p.

(Remember the Court House clock
is set to standard time.
E@Montgomery county is en-
titled to eight votes in the conven-

E& Judge Howard r. French
has been suggested for district de-

not want to fail to give Judge
French hearty endorsement from
his home county.

The Louisville Times is rather cute
in expressing its longing for the return
of our John G. Carlisle. Instead OF
saying Mr.. Carlisle is the Roderick
Dhu of American politics, Kentucky
Democrats would like to hear blast
from his bugle-horn about this time
He has earned vacation, and a few
days spent by him in the home vine
yard would be blessing to the party.
Why doesn't the Times say come
over and help US. We need you now,
a I'd need you bad.

Mckinley is sweeping everything
before him for the Republican
nomination for President. 1t has
become almost a certainty that he
will receive the endorsement of his
party at st. Louis next month. He
has so far distanced all competitors
that they are apparently no>lOnger
in the race.

The Great Captain of our saliva
ton has promoted to a higher
sphere of service our frater, Sir w.
d. Minnick, whose earthly warfare
ended on May l, 1896, at two
o'clock a. m, and whom we have
just followed to the "bivonac of the
dead" The lawless hand which
inflicted his mortal wound struck
down a good citizen, an honest, in
dustrious and courageous man, an
earnest and faithful Mason and
valiant Knight.
AS his brethren in "the bonds of
brotherly love and friendship" we
resolve to initiate his virtues, to
cherish the memory of his manly
character and fraternal spirit, and
to keep watch and ward over the
beloved wife who survives him.
To her we tender our loving sym
pathy.

his guilt went no further than to turn the ne

also said he would like to kill all the negroes,
But all that was not much thought OF until DIS

report that name to ms hat he had told some

no regard for neither his life nor our editors

il had no ide Of making u personal
