If you are going to have your Bills Messenger Job Rooms And you "will be assured of a large crowd. Loud and shrill, eager and pleadingly, the bright, bounding, beautiful boy's voice rang taroughout the halls and corridors of the magnificent home of one of our leading citizens of the charming country town.

He was a good and obedient boy, handsome in feature and form, neat and tidy in his appearance, full of life and energy, obedient at home, studious at school, and there wai music in the sound of his manly voice as he came running home from school, and sought his mother with unusual earnestness! His face was flushed, and beads of perspiration stood out upon the brow of this handsome specimen of young manhood; for the day was warm, and he had not been allowed to lay aside the heavy clothing which he had worn during the precarious season when "Winter lingers in the lap of Spring." "Well, my son, what is it?" asked the proud mother. "I want you to please get me a suit of just like Charley Newcloth had on to-day! They're just splendid! And he looks so nice in them. They fit him just like they were made for him, and didn't cost more than half as much as my last suit cost you! And I'm so hot, and so tired, and "Where did he get them? I am sure you can't get anything so very splendid in this town!" "Sere's where he got them," and he produced a newspaper containing on advertisement of Boys' and Children's Clothing and Hats and Caps, with the explanation that "Charlie's mother just sent the size and style she wanted, and the price she wanted to pay, with the privilege of returning them if they didn't suit;" adding, "But you bet, she didn't send them clothes back!"

Owensboro' Ejrly Fire Chief. Persons passing the corner of Frede ric and Fourth last week, where the demolition of the old Morsland house was in progress, were possibly struck struck by a record furnisbe 1 by burnt rafterp. No one of the present generation remembers the fire which produced it. An old citizen encountered by a reporter at the court-house had this to say oa the subject: "I was depu'y in the clerk's otEcein the years 1S53 and 1854 and quite a boy. Oa the first day of court fie alarm of fire attracted a lare crowd to Alexander Moreland's residence.

A large, handsome roan, (whom I bad neve seen before,) assumed command of those who were frantically running over each other and getting In each others way, trying to put out the fire thht threatened one of the most i posing structures the town. The stentorian tones and cool commands of the volunteer Bre chief brought order out of chsos and the flimes were speedily subdued. A very small per cent of those who gathered on that occasion are to-day in the land of the living, but the handsome fire chief is still recognizable In our et-taetaed fellow citizen Camden Riley."

The People learly Wauled a Railroad, but Are Required to Dearly Pay tbe Attorney Whe Beat Them Ont ef It. THE ORIGINAL FEE STILL DEMANDED- Ab( ut three years ago the tax-payers of Christian county voted a debt of $200,000 on themselves, to secure the extension of the Ohio Valley railroad to Uopkinsville, by a ltrge mnjority, but on the same dty they voted a tax for another railroud and ou suit en join die issue of the bonds Tude Grace decided that the elections were illegal, both being held tbe same dsy, tbe Court of Appeals sustained this decision. This suit was brought 'or the county, a msj irlty of the Doard of meg islratts being opposed to tbe railroad propositions, and now that it comes to payiug tbe lawyers a big row is raised Hon. John Feiand, collector of internal revenue, is one of the attorneys. The Hopkinsville Keutockian sayr "The appropriation of of the peoplt's money to the attorneys of the L.

aud N. railroad, for their services iu having the O. V. bonds declared null and void, will raise a bowl of indigna tion over the county. The paopl voted aid to the road and when a hand ful of malcontents took the matter into tbe conrts, it was understood at the time that a guarantee fund of $300 to employ the attorneys had been raised oy private subscription.

This mayor may not bave been true. Iu April, after Judge Grace's adverse de cision, the court of claims, or a part thereof, employed Feiand, Stites A Feiand to continue the case, without making a contract as to fee. The case was gained and the $200,000 of bonds destroyed and the county lest tbe road with all It-i promised benefits. Now tbe people are forced to pay tbe bill. The fact that It is an outrage and a legalized robbery of the people is so palpable to tbe naked eye that comment is ltogetber unnecessary.

The allow mce itself seems to bave been made by a bit or sharp practice. The subject had been postponed, nine justices bad da parted, and just before adjournment tbe question was re-opened and by a vote sustained by 14 of the 34 magistrates tbe job was put through. The attorneys emanded $10,000 and will refuse to ac cept tbe donation unless it be raised to $7,500. This will probably take the matter iuto tbe courts. Nobody blames the lawyers for wanting all they can get, but will tbe people stand it? That's the question." MUDERED HIS FATHER An Eighteen.

Year-Old Bey Literally Carres His Aged Father Into Tieces. The Second Attempt at Patrlclda Success ful and the Toib Fiend File Before a Sheriff Pom sad a Hob. Russ ell vi Li, April 15. Oneof the most horrible crimes ever committed in this county occurred last night about 8 or 9 o'clock. Wood Price, an old negro man wbo lives two miles north of Auburn, was found with bis throat cut, his bead being nearly sey- ered from his body.

He was liter- lly carved all to piecep, being cut in as mauy as a dozen places. The per petrator of tbe awful deed was bis eon, Grant Pi ice, a young boy eighteen years old. At this hour it is Impossible to learn the particulars, and no one nows the canse of tbe pat rieide. The boy lei as soon as be killed bis father, aud is now supposed to be in biding nearly. The theriff is scouting the couutry for him, and be will eoon be in custody.

Tbe murdered man was an old-fash ioned darkey, wbo stood well with all who knew him, Tbe unnatural son as always given trouble, and at last was the death of him. He was one cf the worst boys in the county. He attempted his father's life several years ago, but did not suooeed, and was fined and imprisoned for the offense. Tbe boy had been living with his father and refused to work, and bad been ordered to leave.bence the killing. rhe young murderer, who made his escape, is being pursued by tbe negro friends of the old man, who threaten to lynch the young villain if they catch him.

WILL HELP THE STATE. The Commonwealth's Attorney Salary Law Will Increase the State's Reeeipts. That 1 Jo Noe'a Opinion, While Be Know It Will Help the Attorneys A Political Effect. Mr. Joe Noe, who went to Frankfort to facilitate tbe passage of tbe bill allow- ng the Commonwealth's attorney a salary of 2,500 ia lieu of all other com pensation expressed himself yesterday as beiDg highly pleased with the new taw.

Oa being asked about the text of the bill be said there was nothing in it but that thesalary of $2,500 was affixed to the office in lieu of all other fees and compensation. He thought, to take be State over, the officials would be benefited by it, and be also thought the Htate would get much more money on oes and penaKies than at present. A certain salary of $2,500 a year would In duce tbe beat of work on tbe ptrt of the Commonwealth's attorney and tbe fear of losing bis place, or rather the hope of keeping it for more than one term would have a far better effect toward securing faithful service to tbe State than tbe present tystem. In talking with some friends on the subject of the new law Mr. Noe declared himself a candidate for reelection.

In the event that he runs it Is understood that Judge W. B. Noe, of Calhoon, who has been talked of for circuit Judge, will not make the race. Capt. Smith M.
