Green to Glasgow, Toll Stone, the negro
whose attempt to detain and assault a
young woman school teacher caused such
excitement in Barren county short time
ago. Stone is to be taken back for trial
and unless strongly guarded it is thought
he will be lynched. The indictment
against Stone is 'detaining woman against
her will. and as death cannot be legally
inflicted as penalty for this offense, it is
believed that the sentiment is strong for
lynching HIM unless forcibly prevented
Acting Governor Worthington is taking
every precaution against lynching and
the boys OF Company L. are expected to
do their part with courage.

The Fair Printing.

The Black Mail again, as ever,
justifies its now accepted name, by
INDUCING IN three column TRADE
of abuse and maligning against the
directors of the Hopkins County
Fair Company, because, forsooth,
it failed to secure the contract for
printing the catalogues for the
Far Company, which job it
thought it had nailed down so
neatly. The Black Mail handles
the Fair as common property of
the public at large and ignores
the fact that it is owned by the
Hopkins County Fair Company,
composed of a number of the
county's most publicsspirited and
liberal citizens, who have yet found
it necessary to think of economy
IN their operations.
We regret that the Black Mail is
so intensely disappointed at the
loss of this job but trust that Its
proprietors may not go hungry be
fore something else shows up in
which there will be a few meals
victuals.
While the attack on the directors
of the Fair Company is absurd as
it is vicious and there is nothing in
the transaction that demands
any sort of explanation on
THE BEES part, we Will de-
vote the necessary space to
a plain statement of facts in order
that the public may see how vicious
the attack on the Fair Company
directors, for transacting their own
business upon the principles of
economy in a businesslike way
On Monday afternoon of last
week President Holeman of the
Fair Company stopped at THE BEE
Office on his way to Dawson TO
notify us that the catalogue was to
let. Neither the writer nor his
foreman were in the Office at that
time and the message was left with
one of our composltors. The re-
quest was made that the bid be
submitted the next morning Tues
day). Our foreman figured on the
job that evening with what inform
alton he had about the work and
sent in the bid. The writer was
in Nashville and knew nothing of
the matter until "Wednesday morn
ing after his return We went at
once to jacksonville, and called
on President Holeman, telling him
that we had come to sec about the
Far printing and saying that we
had been absent and had no chance
to pass upon the matter, and that
If the bid submitted by our fore
man was not the lowest or if the
contract had not been awarded we
asked that all bids be rejected and
new bids called for.
Mr.. Holeman said the Mail had
bid one dollar under THE BEE but
that the contract had not been
awarded so far as his own actions
wefe concerned. We then called
on Mr.. Osburn who said he had
taken no action toward awarding
the contract and tina. the matter
was in Mr., Hoieman's hands. The

GEo. b. SMITH, printer, visited

he was a partner with John Young
in starting the publication of the
Kentucky RebN6H6aA in Madison
VILE in 1873. He spoke of the
hard time the Republican had try
ing to live, and congratulated THE
BEE on its present success and
prosperity. Mr.. Smith says he
predicted away back in those old
times that he would live to see
Kentucky elect Republican gov
ernor, and rejoices in the fulfill
ment of his prophecy He remem-
bers that George Matthews was
a compositor in the office of the
Republican and says he encouraged
the publication of Georges first at
tempt at writing-a short story.
George Matthews is now Heber
Matthews of the Hartford Herald.
Smith had the misfortune to loose
his right leg about two years ago,
and now goes on crutches. This
seems rather a coincidence since
his old partner, John Young, also
had but one leg.
