JUDGE JAMES R. sKILLMAN
Says you Can't Play Ball on Sun
day.

There was another large crowd at
Hardinsburg one day last week from
the Dorrett's creek neighborhood to
hear the result of the trial against a
number of young men in that vacinity,
arrested on a warrant for base ball
playing on Sunday.
Judge James Skillman, of Cloverport,
was agreed upon to try the case and
after a careful hearing Of the matter
he assessed a fine OF $40 against each of
the defendants. The courts decision
came as a surprise to the ball players.
AS many of them seemed confirmed in
the belief that Sunday ball playing was
no violation of law. The judge however
scrutinized the statute closely and was
decidedly of different opinion.
Those named in the warrant were as
follows Lum Davis, Court Driskel,
Thomas Driskel, Robert Arnold, Mar
tin Tivitt, Albert Elder, Lawrence
Taber, MiCajah Arms, Jr., John Stinnett,
George Simmons, Frank Shellman, Thos.
Cox, Gid Jolly and Dan Macy.
The warrant was sworn out by Chas
Robbins. The boys are not all satisfied
with the decision and will take an
appeal to higher court.
However should Judge Skilmsn's
opinion be upheld, Sunday base ball
playing here will be quite a costly
amusement.
It is the intention OF the defendants to
make this test casa and the fine of 500
was assessed in order that the Circuit
Court might have iuisdiCtion.

Reception.
The Missionary and Aid Society ten
dsred a recep ton last Monday afternoon
to Mrs, Annie D. Pierce, who is soon to
leave for Colorado A beautiful quilt Of
most unique design, made by Mrs. Bette
Latest, Was presented her by the Aid
Society as a token of appreciation OF her
valuable services. 1t all came in the
nature of surprise to her. The pre-
sentation speech by Mrs. Frank Fraize,
was most appropriate.
1t goes without saying that she will be
missed inexpressibly, not only by these
societies, but by the church and Sunday
school, whose interest she always had at
heart. 1 can say truly, as one who has
known ner from childhood, she never
let the banner OF Jesus trail in the dust
Many beautiful things could say OF her
devoted consecrated life, but / fcrbear.
May heavens richest blessings descend
upon her as she goes to distant land;
for we all know that wherever she is the
good work will go on.

SOUTHERN EXPOSITION.
To Be Held in the Grand Central Pal
ace, New York, Oct. 81 to Nov.
as, 1899.

This splendid opportunity to further
the progress Of the south should meet
the hearty cooperation and support Of
every Southern merchant, mechanic,
manufacturer and planter, besides those
in professional and public walks Of life.
The immense benefit to be derived from
an exhibition in New York of the pro-
ducts and resources of every section of
the south is immeasurable.
Concerted action is therefore needed
by the people Of this county and section
for representation at the exposition
which is the first to be held in the mon
eyed centre Of the United States. New
York is in the midst of the investing
capital of this country, and is visited
daily by more people than all the other
cities combined. It is proposed by the
promoters of the Southern Exposition,
who comprise many leading men Of the
country, to show the northern people
practical illustrations and results Of the
south's resources. Many industries Of
the south have already arranged for
space and no time should be lost in pre-
pairing for an exhibit. Full particulars
can be had by applying to Col. John J.
Garnett, director, Grand Central Palace,
New York.

THE DEFENSES OF
DURHAM CHARGED

DURHAM. Nov. p. 10 a m.-Owing to
the proximity of the Beers TO Pieter-
maritzburg. IL has been necessary to alter
the defenses of Durham.
Estcourt is still silent. All accounts
point conclusively TO a determined rush
OF the Beers toward Pietermaritzburg
with very large force. Seven thousand
men with guns are reported twenty y-five
miles from Howick. They are said to be
under the personal command of General
Joubert.
To-day's engagement at Mooi River
found the British almost entirely on the
defensive. A correspondent of the Natal
Advertiser says Boer shell fell within
few yards OF the detachment OF their in
fantry, that the shell did little or no dam
age and that firing continued for about
half an hour at intervals of from three TO
five minutes. According to this account
the British troops prepared with the ut
most promptitude and advanced under
cover wherever possible. The British ar
tillery was In position behind the hotel
where General Barton and his staff were
being accommodated. Major Thorne-
croft's mounted infantry moved to cover
on a ridge on the enemy's left flank. The
Devonshire Regiment and the Royal
Welsh Fusileers occupied the trenches.
There was but little fire, the correspond
ent says, but the enemy possessed at least
one howitZer with a range of five miles
besides several siX-pounders
