1t viii be noticed that the Governor
says he has not had occasion to use Pc

for this is, most other ailments begin

FACTS AND OBSERVATIONS.
In A Snow Storm at Salt Lick
Last Week.

A representative of the ADVOCATE
on last Thursday, dmirg the ,most
severe snow storm Of the season,
boarded the train for Salt Lick,
which place he had visited on Jan.
10Th.
just before reaching Stepstone,
he met the merchant of the village,
b. F. Myers, Jr. Our talk had TO
be quick, for a train on descend
ing grade, soon covers a mile. We
have known him for several years.
He has been in the mercantile bus
mess for ten years-during the
last four of which he has had no
partner. He sells groceries and
hard and owns his home and
business house. He married Miss
Drusie F., daughter of John W.
Montjoy. Like the writer he has
no children to make music in the
h .me-(see in this issue, lst page,
article headed: The music of
childhood's happy laugh" His
order for job work was hastily jiott
ed down, we said goodbye and the
train sped along.
There was no celebration of
Waghington's birthday at the
Lick-but there was snow and blow
blow and snow, mud knee deep and
few people in town although it
was pay day at the w. J. Fell
headquarters ~H>was a eoiPcjdcsce
that our second visit should, again,
be on his pay day. He owed us
nothing.
The returning train was three
and half hours late, so we spent
from 10 o'clock a, NJ. to 7 p. m, 60
ing up and down the town, sitting
in the stores, watching the terrific
conflict Of snow flakes, talking OF
matters and things in general,
reading to men and boys, the ac-
count of an Asiatic wedding, as
narrated in the ADVOCATE by Miss
Kinds, and incidentally(P) setting
forth the mer;ts os our paper anu
the excellent work turned out by
skilled workmen from our job Office.
TO an appreciative people, we again
extend our thanks.
Atsupper time we found refresh
ment at the hospitable home of Mr.
9. II. Whitcomb, who dispenses to
the travelling public, good things
richly worth the % cts, charge
For few seconds we saw one OF
the firm of w. NJ. Clayton & Bro,
of Young, Bath county. Some day
our readers will hear more of this
firm, eve expect to go again and
invade all of that country.)
We were informed that the sick
reported recently, were doing well
and regretted to know that the
wife Of our host was seriously sick
After supper. as we were preparing
to face the storm, he asked that We
remember her in our devotious
| Expressing the hope that Goo
would bless her. we passed out in
to darkness and were soon speed
ing along to the One watching anC

MILITARY GOVERNORS,

Two things, now historical,
must not be forgotten, to-wlt'
Kentucky has had two great mill
tary Governors:
1. w. o. Bradley who, dur
ing his term, organized the State
militia with his partisans and used
it to carry the next State election.
He depended largely on foresight
and made success in elections al
most sure, placing the system on a
solid basis.
?. w. S. Taylor, who, during
his term, used the militia to over
throw the Legislature and courts
and to hold by force the office tc
which he was adjudged not to be
entitled, and who filled the State
Offices and buildings with armed
men, one Of whom shot and killed
the opponent contesting his right
TO the office. He depended also
on hindsight, and placed the hold
ing Of office on a solid basis.
Kentucky will never see thei
like again.
