DEAL IS ON
For Purchase of Old Baptist
Newspaper.

Fulton. KY, April 27.-Negotia-
tons are on for the sale Of the Amer.
lean Baptist Flag of this city. Par
ties are here from Martin and other
points with a view of purchasing the
religious newspaper formerly pub
lished by the late Elder ]. N. Hall.
The paper is known as one of the
organs of the so called landmark
Baptists. During the life of Elder
Hall ir had an enormous circulation
and welded a great influence among
the landmarkers. The plant is a
large one and should bring good
price. 1t is owned by the daughter
of the late minister, Miss Ruth Hall,
and her stepmother, Mrs. Lillian
Hall. Its publication will likely con-
tinue at this place.

AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE
Horse Burned to Death While
Flowing in Field.

Bowling Green, April 27.-J. M.
Tarrent, of the Riverside neighbour
hood, had horse burned to death
while blowing in field. 1t is the
first case of the kind ever heard of
in this section. Mr.. Tarrent was
blowing with double team, and in
an orchard adjoining the field in
which he was at work a patch of
broom sedge in some way got on
fire. lie took his team and pillow o
the orchard to pillow several burrows
around the sedge to keep it from
spreading.
While he was blowing the wind
suddenly shifted, blowing the flames
to his team. The leader, valuable
brood mare, worth 5000, stopped
when the fire struck her, and he
could not get her to bulge. The
combined efforts of himself and the
other horse to get her from the fire
were unavailing, and she lay down,
and there remained. The sedge
burned rapidly, and before he could
check it the mare was so badly
burned that she died in day or two.

FENcELEss CITIES
AT Mercy of Chickens Rur-
ming at Large.

A correspondent Of the Henderson
Journal writes as follows on a sub
ject that is equally as important in
H )pkinsviIle:
There is one thing that l believe
your paper should call attention to
if it is the desire to make our home
town beautiful and heaIthful.
Il believe that there is mighty
small encouragement for people to
plant vines and flowers if chickens
are allowed to forage where they
please,
There are fewer blossoms for the
children and for the sick on account
of the depredations of the chickens,
and many women go without the
healthful work Of flower culture be-
cause of the nuisance.
Il would like to know what the
people are to do to whom they are
to turn for protection to the lawns,
the flower beds and the walks.
Il feel that this is an especially 3D.
perfume time to mention the matter,
as it is planting tine and you know
it takes only one destruction of a
springs work to discourage most
people in planting"

An old settler, who seemed to take a

him likely place for good sport.
They succeeded in bringing down

BAGS WILDEBEESTS.
Col. Roosevelt's first hunt was ia
vored by the weather, and he enjoy
ed the experience immensely. He
bagged two wildebeests and a
Thompson's gazelle. In one respect
Mr.. Roosevelt was somewhat disap-
pointed, as he had been anxious to
secure a Grants gazelle, whose mas
sive horns are much sought after for
trophies.
The hunt lasted several hours, and
all the members of the party were
we'll tired out when they returned
to camp.
NEWS OF THE GNUs.
The "wildebeest" that Mr.. Roose-
welt killed the first day he hunted is
the African gnu, which has the head
of bison, the body of a horse and
the legs of an antelope. 1t is one of
the most remarkable of the herbivo.
ra of South Africa, not only because
of its strange appearance but be
cause of the scientific interest that
attaches to it, for it is believed TO be
the connecting link between the DO
vine animals and the true antelopes
The head of the beast is protected
with set of heavy horns which, like
the buffalo's, are very broad at the
base and form bony plate across
the forehead which no bullet can
penetrate. Below this plate and
coming down to the nostrils is a tuft
of stiff black hair, that stands out
from the head very much like a shoe
bruse. The eyes are fringed by long
grayish or brown hairs standing out
several inches. Under the chin and
down the throat is another tuft of
stiff black hair. The nostrils are
loose and furnished with muscular
valve by which they can be closed.
The body is very much like that of
the horse. 1t stands about four and
half feet high and its extreme
length is nine feet. The neck is dec
GRATED with light colored name,
which nature keeps we'll clipped as
that of carefully groomed polo
pony. The tail is long and light
colored. The legs are slim and
graceful and enable the animal to
run at tremendous speed.
The gnu runs in herds, or, as the
South Africans say, it "clumps." 1t
is native to the arid plains of South
Africa and very migratory. The fan
tastic appearance of the animal is
equaled by the grotesqueness of its
actions. A herd moves in single file.
From distance the animals will be
seen wheeling and prancing in all d.
rections, tossing their heads, switch
ing their tails and then starting off,
especially if alarmed. at great speed,
raising columns of dust along the
track.
The gnu is courageous, but not
dangerous to man except when at
tackled with its young or cornered
when wounded. Then its short horns
and its hoofs, as sharp as steel
knives. are used, often with fatal
effect, against the hunter. The gnu.
like the bull, is easily enraged by
the waving of scarlet cloth.
Like nearly all the members of the
antelope family, curiosity IS the
