Clay Has No Opposition.

The Republicans of the Legislative
District composed of the counties of
Montgomery and Menifee met at the
court house at Mt. Sterling Saturday
to nominate candidate for Represen-
tative.
There was a good attendance and an
enthusiastic meeting. After a lengthy
meeting DR.. George w. Bowling, of
Menifee county, withdrew as a candi-
date, and as no other name was pre-
sented for the nomination, none could
be made, and the convention adjourned
sine die.
j. Will Clay, of Mt. Sterling, is the
Democratic nominee and as result of
the failure of the Republicans to nomi-
nate candidate, he will be elected with
out opposition. He is a well-known to-
bacco grower and is very popular and
influential man.

follows:
Resolved, That we favor the pas
sage of an act blythe next Legislature
submitting to vote of the people of
the State an amendment to the Consti-
tuition of this State prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of Intoxicating

The complete temperance report as
adopted was as follows
Intrenched as it is in the stronghold
of sin; strengthened as it is by i'm

it is the duty of church members to de-

We have decided this week TO write
a editorial about prokrastanation. When
we-was trying 10 think up a subjeckt
this one popped into our head and so
We take our pen in hand to deal with It
accordin' TO our lights. Other great
writers has also wrote on this subjeckt
OF prokrastanation bet they didn't cx-
aust the subjeckt and so we viii try our
hand at it.
In order that our less intelligent sub
scribers who amt got very much sents
may know what prollrastanation is we
will hereby explain the word before we
go any further. Just TO show you how
terrible ignorunt some people is on this
subjeckt we met Hank Dewberry on the
street in front of Bill Hepburn's black
smith shop yesterday and Hank ne askt

This jest goes 10 show that YOU can't
never tell how much a man knows in
this world by looking at him. although
you can judge purity well in the case OF
Hank. 4 person to look at Hank
would think that ne didn't know obso-
lutely nothink, and they'd be about
right The way we happened to find out
whot prokrastanation meant was be-
cause we was lookin' through our ole
office dickshionary to find out the mean
ing of PRONUNCIATION so as we could use
IT in the Bugle and we happened to find
the word prokrastanation and we
thought we would use that one instead
being as the part of the dickshionary
whot had PRONUNCIATION in was tore out
Well, TO go back 10 the beginning
prokrastanation means TO put off things
whot you could do today until tomorrow
or the week after Some great writer
whuze name we cannot recall has said
that "Prokrastanation IS the theef OF
tine" whotever that means.
II is turribie handy sometimes 40 put
off things until tomorrow, especially II
ycu are bizzy and don't have no time "a
do it today like we don't have most al
ways. If we didn't pracktise prokras-
tanation sometimes we don't know how
we would git out the Bugle a-tall. being
as we don't have time to look up some
things some weeks and by, means of pro
! krastanation We can wait until the next
week or the week after Prokrastana-
tion has been a turrible good friend OF
us ever since we have been a newspaper
editor II has also been a good friend
of our subscribers. If it wasn't for this
gosh-blamed prokrastanation we calki-
late that some of our subscribers would
pay US their back subscriptions once and
