Sister Mary Catharine.

Sister Mary Cathari ne, who has
been at st. Mary's Academy, Leon
ardtown, for nineteen years. has
been chosen Assistant Mother of the
Sisters Charity of Nazareth, Ky..
and Friday last left here for her
new field of labor. During her stay
in st. Mary's, Sister Mary Catha-
rine won the respect, confidence
and affectionate regard of all our
citizens irrespective OF creed. To
her splendid management and re-
markable executive ability is large
ly due the success of the Academy.
She possessed to q wonderful degree
the happy faculty of winning the
love of children and every pupil of
the Academy was devotedly attach
ed TO her. 1t is seems to us that
her removal was a great mistake
and we know it is a great loss to the
Academy and TO st. Mary's county.

The Clifton Mills Tournament.

In spite of previous heavy rains
the field was good and the riding at
this tournament on Tuesday, July
10Th, was fast and spirited. The fol-
lowing were the successful knights:
James Bean q rings and winner of
finals) crowned Miss Susie Combs
as Queen of Beauty; BENZ. Redmond
q rings) crowned Miss Betty Bean
as first Maid of Honor; Henry Bean
crowned Miss Eva Price as second
Maid of Honor, and Gibson Russell
crowned Miss Julia Swami Us third
Maid Of Honor. The crowning took
place in the evening and was follow
ed Immediately by the dancing. The
lists were not as full as last year be-
cause of the threatening weather.
But the usual large crowd of merry
makers was in attendance for the
supper and the rafiies and the dane
ing, which last continued until an
early hour Wednesday morning.
Considering the short time g days.
in which this Festival was gotten
up it's success reflects great credit
on the ladies and gentlemen who
were on the various committees.

FOR WOMEN
WHO CANNOT BE CURED.

Backed up by over third of a century
Of remarkable and uniform cures, record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers OF
DR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel
fully warranted in offering 10 pay $500 in
legal money of the United States, for any
case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness,
Prolapsus or Falling of Womb which they
can not cure. All they ask is a fair and
reasonable trial of their means of cure.
Their financial responsibility is well
known to every newspaper publisher ana
of whom they have done business for over
Q third of a century. From this fact it will
readily be seen how utterly foolish it would
be for them to make the above unprece-
dented and remarkable offer if they were
not basing their offer on curative means
having an unparalleled record. No other
medicine than DR.. Pierce's Favor1te Pre-
scription could possibly twin out" as the
saving goes, on such a proposition But
they know whereof they speak. They nave
by this world famed remedy ever placed to
the credit of any preparation especially
designed for the cure of woman's peculiar
ailments. This wonderful remedy, there
fore, stands absolutely alone as the only
one possessed of such remarkable curative
properties as would warrant Its makers IN
publishing such a marvellous OTTER as IL
above made in the utmost good faith.
