Seized and Robbed.

Owen Sullivan, of Fairview, while
enroute home from Pembroke Wed
nesday afternoon, was seized by two
negro men and robbed Of S15.O5, all
the money he had on his person.
They suddenly sprang from behind a
tree and one of the highwaymen held
Sullivan while the other one went
through his pockets. AS soon as the
robbery was committed the negroes
fled. Sullivan did not recognize
either of them and it is not likely
that their names will ever be known.

will retire from office Jan. l, 1888,
will shortly afterwards remove to this

law. Judge Reeves is a lawyer of

his profession. He was formerly one
of the leaders of the Democratic
party in his district, but like some
other good men he went astray two
years ago and left the party and put
behind him all hope of political hon

roundly applauded by the 400 or 500
Pythians who filled the house hall
and Hobbies to overlooking.
Mayor Julian's l5.minute address
of welcome on the part of the city
was the big hit of the speechmaking
exercises and lionized the mayor with
all of his hearers. The Hon. Stanley
Adams, Grand Chancellor, presented
by Mr.. M. B. Bowden, of Louisville,
who, as usual, captivated both visi-
tors and local people.

j. B. Settle; supreme representatives,
T. B. Matthews, Boone county; Chas.
f. Minot, Louisville; grand vice chan.
