A Lesson In PoisOns.
A Druggist in Kentucky Has Had the Temerity

Nchoasve KY, who has done it, and done it In bold,
dsagreeable sort of way, too.
This persons name which is apt to be anthema in Ken
lucky henceforth is James W. Gordon He is in the drug
business in Nichoasvile. Just how long his neighbors
and felowtownsmen will encourage him in pursuit of
trade is very difficult to say.
Mr. Gordon has gratuitousy rubbed in" to his com
patriots the somewhat dangerous score OF whisky he
has fitted up the front of his drug store what he calls
poison window and bottle of the corn juice dear to the
kentucky heart is there.
