find her bright aud studious
Sunday school in all the churches
The Catholic church has quite a good
number OF pupils. The hymns are all
good. Miss Lena hewitt is orpanist.
Mrs. Cough was TO have given the
young people cotillion party last Fri
day evening, but it was postponed on &C
count Of Willie BANDS illness.
No literary last Friday night as Willie
Bland was exceedingly low. Teachers
and pupils we're too much in sympathy
with the sill icted family TO enjoy it.
Mrs. Smith and Miss Eula Nall, Of
Vine Grove, were guests of Mrs. George
Dowden last Saturday, in whose honor
the Misses Dowden entertained the
Mite Social. A pleasant evening.
The Messenger has pitched into Uncle
Jonathan and the News hot and heavy,
so believe I'll back out. 1 don't want
to be either Greek or Turk l believe,
but take neutral stand while the fight
is on.
Sure enough brilliant April day last
Saturday. The fresh and fragrant breath
ing said, Mature is glad" The blithe
birds sang, but nothing was more must
cal or so merry as our own hearts to feel
balmy day.
We find that it is not always the peo-
pie who live in beautiful, quiet valleys
where roses bloom all the year, that are
the happiest. We find it's the heart, the
mind, even on rocky, bleak, barren wilds
that makes happin, IS.
Bro. Pate gave us an interesting talk
last Wednesday night on Easter and its
Observance, describing the movable feast
quite graphically, giving historical infor-
nation. Tonight "wednesday he will
give talk on next Sundays lesson
Willie Bland has been critically i'll for
several days DIR. Dugan came down
from Louisville and with DIR. Pusey and
DIR. Wells performed an operation. At
this writing he is doing well and hope is
entertained of his recovery.
Artists are aroused over the Dingley
tariff bill. The Wilson bill allowing the
importation of paintings has been opera
tive long enough for opinions as to its
merits and drawbacks TO crystalline. A
petition has been gotten up in the stu
dios which give some hope.
In my paragraph about Mr.. William
Bryan the exclamation point was mis-.
placed which made me (instead Of HIM
say, "All hail to bi-metallism." mol in
deed do not, I'm more and more gold
standard every day, but if there is any
thing in it l want it on lone hand.
The Easter supplement of the New
York Times was perfect gem The
whole was devoted to half tone reproduc-
tons of paintings by five artists, and SER
mons from celebrated ministers of all de-
nominations. Each reproduction was
study in itself. Each sermon mamma to
the soul.
Greece and Turkey if left to themsel-
yes, seem to be fairly enough matched
TO prolong their conflict for good while.
They will weaken and impoverish each
other we are sure. In the conflict of
long by gone years Lord Byron was with
the Greeks to shoulder arms, but died all
too soon to realize his cherished hopes.
The sympathy of all christian people
are enlisted in behalf of the sufferers
from the Mississippi food. 1t is consol-
ing, even in such great calamity, to
know how fellow creatures everywhere
are responding to the relief OF those val
ley sufferers. "God hides some ideal in
every human soul" An impulse TO do
good is one OF the nobest.
Hardinsburg woman pays glowing
tribute to Miss Lucy Frank, of Bewley-
vile. And Lucy, dear Lucy, is to take
the matrimonial leapl Well we are tod
that "Love is many sided sacrifice " 1t
means thoughtfulness for another; it
means putting his good before self-grati-
fcation. Love is impulse no doubt, but
true love is impulse wisely directed. l

sent the first issue'of the Dispatch to
several of my sound money friends and
asked for criticism and comparison with
Courier-J Journal One said "Inferior
to the Courier-J Journal, not a fl st-class
paper in my opinion, careless proof-read-
ing, bad spelling and grammar. Give
me the old Courier-Journal." Very
well. am not piejudiced. noticed
some careless proof-reading, ditto spell
ing and grammar in Couner-Journal and
have mailed it to the prejudiced friend
Chauncey M. Depew thinks opportun-
tiles for gaining wealth now are just as
good as formerly. Much, we all know,
depends on opportunity. Commodore
Vanderbilt made a fortune in steamboats,
but he saw before any one els did that
the railroad was to supplant transporta-
ton by Yater so he put his fortune into
railways. 1t takes foresight and power to
grasp and TO see future evolutions. Some
