Goding's Comedy Company was at
the Academy of Music Wednesday and
Thursday nights. The performance
was not especially good, nor yet so
terrible bad. Nobody was entirely
carried away with the excellence of
the show, nor yet was there any gen.
orally severe criticism. 1t might possi-
bly, have been worse, and yet unques-
| tiOnably, there was a world of room
for improvement.
Yesterday afternoon, about four
o'clock, wild turkey flew down from
Shepherd Mountain and in its hurried
flight struck against the dwelling oc-
cupied by Mr.. Jacobs family. The
turkey fell to the ground and ran un-
der porch through an opening in the
lattice work which enclOses its cum
derpinning." One of the family who
chanced to see the unusual occurrence
closed the entrance through which the
fowl had gone and sent for the ''small
boy" who is never far distant. He
came. crawled under the porch, and
soon emerged with the prize firmly in
his grasp. The turkey is nearly full
t. flxy hn
mark of some of the numerous sports
men now traversing the woods, but is
unwounded.

Many of the REGISTER readers well
remember S. E. DeHaven who several
years ago taught school at Pilot Knob
but is now practicing law in Lagrange,
Kentucky. The following in reference
TO a political speech recently delivered
by Mr.. DeHaveu. is taken from the La
Grange Net0 Era: rs. E. DeHaven was
quite frequently mentioned, and that
gentleman thought it due that he say
a few words and he did it in the most
handsome style. In one of the best
fifteen minute speeches ever delivered |
in that court room Sam. DeHaven |
made more friends and gained more |
supporters than ever fell to the lot of |
any man. DeHaven interspersed his |
effort with wit, humor, scarcasm and |
logic, and he explained his position in |
the race (P) by saying that as yet he
was not in it. He thought when he |
promised Clore that he would not run |
that Clore would De the only candidate
Oldham would present, and that as Old
ham was entitled to the senatorship |
that he would not be the means of COM
plicating the race. He would do moth
ing to endanger the chances of Old
ham and therefore would withdraw,
not in Clore's favor, but that Oldham
might have the senatorship without
any complications. Coleman, of Trim
BILE, already being a candidate, De-
Haven argued that it would be fatal to
Mount and Clore for both gentlemen
to continue in the race, and his an
nouncing now would make it more so,
unless the Democratic voters of the
county put forth a candidate chosen
by them, and whose representation
and commission he bear as Oldham's
choice for Senator. Once or twice
DeHaven got down to wit, more often
he was refinedly humorous, and his
sarcasm would touch the most stoical."
