The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1900-01-31
BY MRS. HATTIE oRINNELL.

1t makes me perfectly furious for news
paper reporters to make personal and
private affairs public. What il Mr.. Goe-
bel is to marry Miss Blackburn? Does
that concern the public or politics?
1t seems that General Wheeler might
be put on the "retired list" but then
Col. Cuthbert Bullitt's only 80 and still
attending operas and mask balls in NV
/, Orleans. He is enjoying second child
hood no doubt.
Senator Blackburn will be given din
ner by his Washington friends at an
early date. "Come we in peace or come
ye in war or come ye TO wed young
Lochinvar" Chicago '96 will always
have his admirers. for one cannot say
much against man who wore the gray
and who has in his veins the best Ken

AkNew York's meeting in honor of
Gen. Lee Mrs. JET Davis was given an
|ovation at the Waldorf Astoria. Stone
wall Jackson was not forgotten. Gen.

was the sublimest word in our language.
We believe it. President McKinley's
letter OF regret was read. Good will and
cordiality exist in our beloved country
while the heroes sleep the sleep of the
brave.
IN am much pleased to know that my
criticism and remarks induced several OF
my friends to read "Uncle Ike and the
Red Headed Boy and David Harum
and sin His Steps" etc. In one letter
received am asked for opinion on Red
Rock and When Knighthood was in
Il Flower" 1 have not read either but
will soon. All communications received
are highly appreciated and am 30 glad
+. you all take the News.

Observers of literary currents are COM
menting upon the interesting fact that
all the most popular books of the past
year are not only from American writers
but deal with American themes Well,
we are learning you know to accept our
own standards as the best. Getting
away from foreign influence is the right
thing for us in literature. The late war
