GOV. WILSON.

Coy. Wilson has been assigned the
topic Why Farmers Should Coop
crate" at the Farmers Institute at
Salubria next Friday and it is earn
estly hoped that he can attend and
address the people of Christian
county. Gov. Wilson has many
strong friends among the farmers
and is popular with the people gen.
orally for the courageous stand he
mas taken to protect life and prop
erty, and should he come to Christ
ian county to speak, he would be
greeted by a large crowd and an ex-
cellent opportunity would be af-
forde1 him to do a great deal of
good. The people are sick and tired
OF lawlessness and vast majority of
ale members of all three Of the
farmers organizations are with Gov.
Wilson in his efforts to redeem the
good name Of Kentucky from the
national disgrace that has interfered
with the prosperity of the State for
awo years. The change in public
sentiment has been so pronounced
in this regard that people no longer
fear to express themselves or to in
yite speakers whose views are we'll
known to address them. The ques-
lion of lawlessness bids fair is be the
principal issue to be fought out be-
fore the people this year. Public
sediment will forse both political
parties to nominate men for Office
who are opposed to night riding and
are willing to go on record for law
and order, or party lines will be
wiped out in many counties of West
ern Kentucky. If Gov. Wilson will
attend the Salubria meeting and
point out to the farmers the advan-
tages of cooperation along lawful
Zines and the necessity of putting
down unlawful considerations form
e1 by the criminal element under the
cloak of the worthy organizations of
the farmers, he can do much to-
wards keeping this troublesome
question out of the political contests
to come up all over the State next
year, a condition of affairs that both
parties are anxious to avoid.

The resolutions adopted at Cadiz
last Monday and published in this
paper are a hopeful indication that
the end of night-riding is in sight.
Six months ago the men whose
names were attached to the report
would not have dared to report such
resolutions. Inflammatory oratory
is also growing more unpopular eve
ry day and incendiary speakers will
soon find that the people are tired of
speeches that attempt to array one
class Of citizens against another.
Reason is re-asserting itself.

SURPRISE WEDDING.
Identity Of Couple Concealed
Until Hour of Ceremony.
CONTRIBUTED

Cupid, though eldest of the gods
is just now learning to keep secrets
BY the effectual use Of his bow he
wounded Miss Rosa May Gresham
and Mr.. Walter H. Wade so badly
that the grounds where they stood
have to them become sacred; conse-
quently they have often met from
that day to muse over the peculiar
effects Of so mysterious a dart.
Cupid, though unseen, has ever
been at these meetings that he
might induce them to embark on the
matrimonial journey to the fairy vale
of Paradise. These appeals were at
first scoffed at. finally heard and at
last needed. The time was set for
Wednesday night, August 18th, at
Shiloh church. Everybody had been
invited to a wedding.
At once Miss Curiosity became ex-
cited, then she started by leaps and
bounds in search of Cupid, but hav.
ing failed to find him, Iris, feet as
the wind. was called into service;
next Juno with lightning speed has
tened hither and thither; then all
he gods, but to no avail; though the
search was not abandoned until the
church was crowded.
The pastor, Rev. w. t. Miller,
vas in the altar, and meledious
strains of Memberships March an
lounced the arrival of Cupid. Then
all forgot themselves and turned
their faces toward the door to see,
to their surprise who the contract
ing parties were.
The bride is one of Shiloh's popu-
lar and most beautiful young ladies.
while the groom is highly deserv-
ing young business man of this city.
A long, useful and happy life is the
wish of their many friends.

The report from RusselIville that
Sheriff Tom Rhea single-handed
routed a squad OF ten soldiers and
knocked two of them down, is prob
ably an exaggeration. The admit
ted fact is that when Capt. Mcbride
mounted the seat-of the hack with
Sheriff Rhea the hack stopped, Mr..
Rhea and his prisoners got out and
Sheriff, prisoners and soldiers all
marched on foot. and peaceable adj
justment followed. Capt. Mcbride
and his men acted with wonderful
forbearance.
