SEE KENTUCKY.
owensbo rsLnauirer.

Kentucky as a state, is one
hundred and sixteen years old.
1t was in June, 1892, that the
first constitution and all the
machinery OF state government
was put in operation. Often
since that date different features
OF the state have been eulogized
and more recently some features
have been deprecated. The
faults are due TO faulty men and
not to the 0mnipotent Creator.
AS masterpiece of nature or of
the Almlghty's handi work no
state In the union equals Ken
tucky. There are hills and dales
and groves and dells and noun
tains, freed and rockribbed and
governed, such as no state in the
union can claim. Of rivers
there is rich abundance and not
one without its Astounding rare
seen cry and places of recreation,
amusement and instruction.
For 700 miles the shores of
Kentucky are laved by the beau
tiful Ohio. The river touches
three great-states on the north,
but at every point that it
touches any of them, there is
Kentucky claiming jurisdiction
TO low water mark on the other
side. But, besides the majestic
Ohio there are the seven rivers
that rise near the same point in
eastern Kentucky and courslng
across the state give her people
health and food and general
commercial and scenic advant
ages.
Even the great Mammoth cave,
one of the seven wonders of the
new world, is comparatively un-
known 10 Kentuckians, and yet
If may be reached by one of the
most attractive river routes
down the Ohio and up Green
EIveT-5that can be found any
wbere, or by rail without much
delay or by rail aud river.
Along the Ohio are stretches of |
hill. cliff, forest and urban seen. +,
cry that is little if any, short of |
fine termed Hudson. Every one
OF the 'seven rivers" of the /
sSaffe has its attractions, histori-
cal and natural, and it is almost
a crime for Kentuckians to re.
asa4n lgnurant of them. Let
