VALLEY VIEW, KY, March 2O.-General
Cassius Marcellus Clay, of Kentucky, is
about to secure divorce from his child
wife, Dora, and when all legal obstacles
are removed he will take unto himself a
third life partner. In 1882 General Clay
married Mary Jane Warfield aristocrat.
Sixty-three years later, a. the age of eighty
five, he married Dora Richardson, "po
white" His first wife was of his age and
rank. His second was fifteen-a creature of
the woods. His third
General Clay divorced his first wife just
twenty-one years ago. 1t is apparent that
he is now ready to divorce his second. The
position of third still is open and letters of
proposal are welcome, General Clay thus

third matrimonial venture:

It wiIE be a. short TimeaUnsiI tho
Ohio River Yards Are In Fine Condi-
tion.
The latter part of the week Con-
tractor W., F. Rice, of this city,
started the work of excavatiug the
street back of the Ohio, River
freight depot and passenger sta
ton. preparatory to paving that
portion of it as far as the freight
depot extends. The work which
will beIa great Improvement will
be pushed along as rapidly as pos
sible and it will be but short time
until the yard will be in fine con-
dition. '''
The Ohio River road is making
some fine improvements in this
city and it deserves great
credit for doing what it has. The
elegant station which it built here
is greatly appreciated by the public
as are also all of the other inn
provements which have been made.
Not the least of the improvements
which have been and are being
made here is the paving on that
portion of the yard mentioned as
last winter it was mud hole of un-
certain depth and it was almost i'm
possible to get a loaded wagon to
or away from the depot.
Another Improvement here
which will have been completed
the first of the week is the erection
of the electric light which will be
located just at the north end of the
station. A handsome ornamental
pole 70, the light has been placed
in position and the light will be
put up this week.

for the coming term. The enroll

teachers, was about 600. al ?,
Prof. Skinner when nere was Of

would be mach larger in few days
as a great nany of the scholars have
not yet applied Tor examination

this year, as last, be somewhat

board. which taNsed them to have

than it ever has been heretofore for
the reason that the police have de
