Current will sell a lot of stock, farming imple ments, corn, foJder, household and kitchen furniture at his residence on new Danville pike. He is preparing to move to Arkansas. Often those who should grow fruit in most abundance must buy it or do without it No farmer can buy fruit as cheaply as he can grow it No one is going to grow it at less price than cost and sell it to him. It is a fact that but few farmers grow strawber ries even for their own tables. for Pulling a Gun. Louis Leavell, of color, was before Judge Burnside Monday charged with drawing a pistol on R. W. Fletcher, the colored iuhool teacher. A jury was asked for, which returned a ver dict of 50 fine and twenty days in iaiL We understand the case will be appealed to the circuit court. Scripture Quoting. Ben Guinn, a colored employee of 'Jiik Record office, went to a funeaal not long since and came back loudly praising the sermon. One of the boys asked him what the text was. Ben scratched his head, studied a few minutes and replied: He read out of the bib'.e "Let him that never done nothing wrong throw de fust rock." Premium Office. The neatest office we ever saw, is that of Miss Elisa Lusk, county super intendent of schools. The walls are as clean as a new pin. and are adorned with pretty pictures and calendars, while a new carpet covers the floor. The other furniture has been rubbed up and we will wager dollars to dough nuts that a more neatly kept county office can not be fo ind in the state, nor a more polite and accommodating officer be found. Carl Hermann. The concert given by Carl Hermann in this city a few evenings since was highly enjoyed by those who braved the inclement weather to hear him. He is certainly a master of the violin "the queen of instruments," and many were the compliments heard coming from those competent to judge He not only charmed those who admire classical music, but mixed the program so as to catch the entire audience. Warrant Against Prof. Fletcher. Emma Johnson, a good looking col ored girl, swore out a warrant Satur day against R. W. Fletcher,- principal of the colored public school, charging him with the paternity of her child which was born several months since. Fletcher says the move is made and brought about by some of his enemies, whom, he claims have been fighting him for some time and been trying in every way to annoy and antagonize him. He has been quite a leader in local pslitics, and his outspoken man ner has caused, many cf his own party who do not agree with him to sour on him; ,The case hag not yet been tried of UKtiuio.-e 1 patfhu.ie.iou.1 eiiiirgsug him H'h thtf paternity oi her child u l , ' ...

Miss Martha Tillett. The theory of advertising is that it helps business. If the theory is wrong a business man ought not to spend any money at any time for advertising. If the theory be true the time to spend the most money is when business needs the most help-in the dull season. Ex. William Cook, of color, came up from Louisville this week to see about his lot opposite Judge Burnside's on Richmond street He wants to sell the property. This is a desirable place and can bo bought very reasonably. For particulars call on J. C Thompson. Miss Allie Hughes, Norfolk, Va. was frightfully, burned on the face and neck.

Itig Tobacco Sales. A tobacco buyer from Louisville, named Bryant, made the following purchases in Garrard within the last ew days: Three crops off Ed alkers place, Graves crop 10,000 pounds at 13 cents arotind; another crop of 12,000 pounds at 8 1-2 cents, another crop of 10,000 pounds at 8 cents; Billy Gooch crop ot I3,uuu pounas at iu cents around; A. K. Walker crop of 6,000 pounds at 9 1-4 cents; Wade Walker crop of 8,000 pounds at 8 l-2c; Bob West one crop of 6,000 pounds at lCc; same another crop of 0,000 pounds at 8 cents; John A. Sanders 8,000 pounds at 8 cents. ' Maj. Jas. BarnsiJe, who is the best posted tobacco man in Central Ken tucky, tells The Record that the 13 nts paid for the Graves crop is the best price paid in this county since 18S7. Week of Prayer. The week of prayer was observed at the Presbyterian church and many persons attended. The different mm. isters in town took turn about m eon ducting the services, in' which much interest was manifested. The last meeting was held Sunday right, when Rev. T. II. Campbell preached. It is regretted that the inclement weather prevented a large number from vhear. ing LUIS seruiuu, us lb wan, iuun., timely one. The speaker was on the. subject of this going to church co Sunday and being mean and mdolg int? in rascalitv throuerh the week. He scored "dress parade religion severely and tpuched up the "Sunday Only" christian in a manner in which such hypocrites should be. There is no class of beings on earth for whom we have a greater contempt than those who go to church Sundays with long faces, bawl out gospel hymns with the grace of a scrub calf, and then spend the remaining six drys of the week trying to beat and run down other people. Such people have an overwhelming raajjrity in perdition. The Banks Elect Directors.

It was plainly written "the trustees action was approved by the superintendent," but the love-sick compositor made it read "the teacher's action," which placed an entirely di" ferent meaning on the article. Deserved Promotion. At the directors meeting of the Citi zens National Bank, Mr. W. O. Rigney was promoted to the responsible posi tion of Assistant Cashier. Mr. Rigney has been in the bank for many years and it would be hard to find a more competent and painstaking official. His legion of friends and The Record extend congratulations to Mr. R. on his deserved promotion. Coughs and colds in themsalves are not serious maladies.

Rev. E. Ritchie, pastor of one of the local cole rod churcnes, was found dead near the K. C. railroad Sunday morning. He had been ill for several days and some parties had staid up with him. He left the house about four o'clock, and not returning a search was made, his dead body being found as stated above. Coroner Green- leaf held an inquest, the jury deciding that death was caused by heart dih- ease. A large concourse ot eoioreo. people attended the funeral Tuesday afternoon. Growing Wheat Crop Sold. A special from Danville says the fir-it deal in the growing wheat crop of 1893 has taken place in Boyle county between Anderson & Spillman, the miller--, and Jerry C Caldwell,. one of the largest farmers of that section, Mr. Caldwell sold the millers the wheat on 400 acres of ground at seven ty-five cents per bushel, to go at threshing time. This time last year the growing crops were being pnrchas ed at from flfty-five to sixty.five cents, but now the farmers are not so anx ious to sell at seventy-five. MORE RAIDS. The Balders Get In Their Work on the Danville Double Gate. As stated in last issue of Tins Rec okd, the gates on bath the new and old Danville roads were replaced and toll collected. Saturday night a num ber of men rode quietly to the gates and proceeded to chop them into kindling wood. Gate keener Ball poked his head out and was in'ormed by the raiders that if he persisted in collecting toll ha would be taken out and thrashed. He could not recog nize any of them and says there were probably twenty-fiva in the gang, .though only three did the work. The two companies filed affidavits before the county judge Monday and six guards were allowed, four for the dou ble and two for the single gate. The stockholders are pretty hot in the col lar and say they don't propose to bj bluffeJ. The gates have been replac ed and toll is being collected the as usual.

Miss Lusk, county superintendent, informs us that an examination will be held at her office on the last Thurs day in this month for those wishing certificates of graduation from the common school course. lturglars. Burglars entered the residence of Mrs. Margaret Gill Wednesday night, by prizing open a shutter. The house was completely ransacked, bureau drawsers broken open and everything torn up, generallj, though a small amount of money and owo rings is all that has been missed. The table in the dining room showed that the thieves also partook" of a good lunch. The residence of W. B. Mason was al so entered. "Kegs" clothes were tak en from near his bed and the pockets gone through. Fortunately he had left no money in them, but his hand some goia watch was taken. The clothes were taken into a front room tnd a lamp lighted which the parties left burning. As usual, there is no clew to the dar ing work.

It was reported on Wednesday that the County Judge's office was vacant because Circuit Clerk Hamilton, refus ed to accept Judge R. A. Burnsides' bond, on the ground that it was offer ed too late, the statute requiring it to be made on the first Monday 'in Janu ary. The report created quite a sen sation and the p .rties mentioned and county attorney Owsley, went to Stan ford to con'er with Judge Saufley. We understand that he advised the clerk to accept the bond if the parties sign ing it were good, and there was no question about that. The bond had been signed several days and the Judge had neglected to offer it to the clerk. It is said that Judge Saufley said that there is a conflict between the constitution and the law requiring the bond to be made on the first Monday; that no one could declare the office vacant without proper legal proceed ings, in which the question would be involved, and that he could hold un der his old bond until another had been given. Whether or not we have been correctly informed pn these opin ions, be is still county judge and is likely to remain so unless a vacancy occurs by death or resignation. All sorts of rumors were afloat the breez es ran high, but the storm has subsi ded and a calm prevails over the troubled waters. We do not object to the use of all proper means to secure an election, by either party, but we do doubt the pro priety of removing men', who have been elected and qualified, on mere technicalities. It is true that the bond should have been 'filed sooner, but it does not seem that this alone should disqualify the officer, as, we learn, the higher courts have decided.
