When These Things Happened In
Paris, As Told in THE
NEWS Files?
DAYS OF AULD LANG SYNE

There's no denying that to most
| of us there is a certain satisfaction
in reviewing the events of long ago,
as they are presented to us, either
casually or by force Of some remin-
iscent strain of the moment. And
to those who lived here in the long
ago the recalling of events in the
old days of Paris affords a peculiar
satisfaction all it's own. They, per-
haps, more than we who have
grown used to the old place, will
appreciate these items, taken at
random from copy of THE BOUR-
BON NEWS of Friday, April a.,
1892:
Johnnie Martin, a popular con-
ductor on the X. c. road, has asso-
ciated himself with Mr.. King, of
Maysville, in the grocery business.
Their grocery is located on the cor
near near the depot. Conductor
Martin will still remain at his post
on the road.
| Richmond and McElreths ORA
matte Company gave their first of a
series of entertainment in the Odd
Fellows Hall on Monday night, to a
delighted audience. The play intro
duced was Hazel Kirke, which Gre
ated so much excitement in the mu-
steal circles in the large cities last
season.
There are but IS horses in the
Union that have trotted in better
than 2:20.- Thirty-four of them are
gelding, twenty mares, and eleven
stations. Six Of the eleven stations
and eight of the twenty mares were
bred in Kentucky-oneo of the mares
being "CrOXie," formerly a Millers-
burg mare, and the property of
Frank Champ.
We do not approve of the egotis-
tical style of Kentucky journalists
generally, in publishing compli-
ments, but we cannot very we'll re-
frain from remarking that a Geor-
gia lady (Mrs. w. G. Monk >. writes
to her brother in-law, that she reads
THE ENVIRONMENTS mid smiles
| and tears, and that she truly realiz-
es the poets dream of enchantment.
1t is not necessary to remark that
she has resolved to never let her
subscription expire.
The Saturday night freight train
| on the K. G. r. r. has been aban-
doned and the train now leaves
Covington on Sunday night The
cause of the change is that the train
runs through to Mt Sterling and
does not arrive there until nearly
noon and it would be running too
much on Sunday to run through.
Ben Huffman, a well-known black
smith, of Centerville, eloped with
Miss Sallie Current, a daughter of
Thos. Current, and passed through
this place and went to Aberdeen
last week. The young lady was to
have been married to James L..
Pearson, young lawyer, from Rut-
lege, Tenn, and she left him in the
parlor' when she eloped. The old
folks were much incensed at the ac-
ton of their daughter.
The severe drOuth has injured
many trees, as shown by the prema-
ture decay and falling of the leaves.
Roots near the surface have been
literally parched
| Among other effects of the drouth,
milk and butter have rapidly in
creased in price. There is no pasture
worth speaking of, and in almost
all localities it has been difficult to
find onnpoh uyofo, fD,. ctooI~
Having two hours to loaf in Cow
ington last week, we put in the time
with our old Bourbon friends, lobe
Mitchell and Sam Dobbins, proprie-
tors of the Arlington House, :"
formerly the Clinton HoteD on
Madison street. These gentlemen
have popular trade. and know ex-
actly how to run hotel on first
class principles, without extortion-
Ting on the public
James Swain, T. P, which mean
eth teacher Of penmanship, who was
born and raised in this city, but
who has been absent several years,
is in attendance at the fair and Wis
iting his old friends.
The only good and cheap way to
break a drouth, is to have Baptist
Associations in every county where
the drouths exist. One at Berry's
Station last week caused a good rain
storm all along the line of railroad
from Covington to- Lexington, and
one at Sharpsburg, also got in it's
work nobly. Give us Baptist Asso-
Citations, with little liberty, and
all other needful things will be
added unto U.S.

his old freight train again.
