Sterling Sentinel Democrat Friday, April 16, 1880, part 5 THE MILLERSBURG MUDDLE We the undersigned, teachers of the Millersburg Female college, do hereby pronounce as false all statements in published reports of Dr. G. GOUD's trial calling in question the honest intent of certain members of our faculty. We refer to Mrs. CROUCH, Miss PIATTE and Miss STILLMAN, who appeared as witnesses for the prosecution. We also earnestly protest against Dr. GOUD's action in dismissing them from his faculty, since we know them to be Christian ladies of unimpeachable veracity and dauntless moral courage. We believe that circumstances forced them to the stand they took in the recent trouble. As they leave us we bid them God speed wherever they may go, and commend them to any community so fortunate as to secure their professional services. A. G. MURPHY, M. E. FORD, W. D. McCLINTOCK A. V. JOHNSON, W. D. AVIRETT, M. Belle SMITH Mary WILLIAMS, A. H. CHANDLER, B. B. SANDIFER, N. M. WILLIAMS - ----------------- The Senate yesterday passed the House bill making the crime of seduction a felony. It now needs only the signature of the Governor to become a law. - ----------------- THE STORM The storm Saturday night was one of the most disastrous in many respects that has visited this county for a long time. For some hours the play of aerial artillery was incessant, while the wind roared and howled as if anxious to sweep all before it to chaos. The damage to fencing was general, but the most serious damage to property was at Elizaville, where a cyclone seemed to have swept down. The first house struck by it was a negro cabin near the cemetery, which was lifted from its foundation and set down some forty feet away, with the roof caved in. Although there were fourteen or fifteen persons in the house, no one was hurt. It next struck the Christian church, tearing off the cupola and one side of the roof, springing the walls and otherwise damaging the building. Thence it passed to the stable of J. D. LITER, tearing off a portion of the roof. The Presbyterian church came next, and about half of the west side of the roof was torn off. The stable of H. M. SCUPPER and the barn of David HOWE were also considerably wrecked. One of the heavy timbers from the Christian church alighted end foremost on the roof of Mrs. BABBITT's millinery store, crushing through it and barely missing Chas. BERRY and Will BABBITT. A locust fence post, which had been lifted from its socket in the ground, was lodged on the top of the Christian church. One row of H. C. BERRY's apple-trees was torn up by the roots. Some of the tin roof of the Christian Church was found a mile from town. The damage to property at Elizaville is not less than $3,000. Steps have been taken to have the churches repaired. -Flemingsburg Times Lexington Press: Robert GRAVES one of the magistrates appointed by the Clark County Court of Claims to investigate the progress of the work on the Big Sandy Railroad east of Mt. Sterling, has returned very much dissatisfied with the progress of the work. He found many localities along the line where even the right of way had not been agreed upon, and but few, if any, where it had been paid for. Mr. J. P. POWELL, the well-known post-and-rail fence builder, came to Fayette county in June, 1876, since which time he has erected nearly 6,000 panels of fence. His largest contract was on the Eastern Lunatic Asylum farm, where he put up 1,631 panels. Mr. POWELL has worked for a large number of our leading farmers. He shipped the first loads of flat rails ever brought to Lexington over the Big Sandy and Cincinnati Souther Railroad.-Transcript. - ----------------- ANNOUNCEMENTS For Sherriff of Wolfe County, We are authorized to announce S. M. TUTT a candidate for Sheriff to Wolfe county, subject to the action of the Democratic party. The Shelby Sentinel denies that farmers are plowing up their wheat, but says the crop never looked better. The net revenue of Clark County collected by the Sheriff for the fiscal year just closed amount to $12,182.32. During the last two months, $40,000 have been paid for walnut timber at Cattlesburg, principally by Cincinnati parties. The telephone is being carried into the mountains. There is now a scheme on foot to construct a line from Louisa, Lawrence County, to Paintsville, Johnson County. The station house at Johnson Junction was entered by burglars one night last week and about $5 in dimes, nickels and coppers taken from the ill. -Flemingsburg Democrat. CALENDAR CLOCK COMPANY Capt. H. C. LYNCH manager of the Calendar Clock Company, and his corps of assistants, will leave for Williamstown, Ky., next Monday, much to the regret of our citizens, who have found them straightforward and clever gentleman. During their stay here they have sold 1,113 clocks at $36, making a grand total of $40,068.-Lincoln County Paper. There is in Hart County, what is known as the "Sun-down Spring." The Democrat says the water of the spring flows incessantly during the day in a stream the size of a man's arm, but as the sun nears the western horizon it grows perceptibly less, making a peculiar sound, heard at a distance of fifty feet, and then just to the minute the sun sets, stops running. This phenomenon occurs daily. On last Saturday Daniel DAY, who had been at work on Slate creek, was returning home with an ax in his hand. While climing a fence he slipped and fell on the ax, inflicting a serious wound on his knee.-Reporter There was born, three weeks ago, to Columbus MARTIN and wife, near Hopewell station a girl baby, which at the time of its birth had a fully developed tooth in its lower jaw. Assessor G. H. CALLIHAN says the tooth is fully as large as the tooth of a three or four-year-old child.-Independent. The latest freak of our pardonist, says the Flemingsburg Democrat, was the release of a man named WILLINGFORD from the payment of a $200 bastardy bond. Philanthropy for the bondsman, but none for the poor mother. The Democrat further says that the Governor had no legal right to do what he did. The Flemingsburg Times is looking for some one to surpass John THOMPSON and two assistants who shod thirty-eight mules and four horses all around in one day, making one hundred and sixty-eight shoes, or fifty shoes to the hand. There is in the neighborhood of one thousand hands at work on the Lexington and Big Sandy Railroad, and within thirty days the number will be increased to three thousand. -Yeoman. - -------------------- We learn that Mr. Jilson WHITSETT is improving, and is doing as well as can be expected. He is now conscious, but speechless, and has no control of one side at all. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 22:58:02 -0400 From: "Elizabeth Smith" Subject: KFY:NEWS: Mt. Sterling Sentinel Democrat, 16 Apr 1880, pt 6, Montgomery Co. Mt. Sterling Sentinel Democrat Friday, April 16, 1880, part 6 BUSINESS REVIEW DRUGS One of the most attractive places in Mt. Sterling, is the remodeled store of Mr. J. T. BREEN. His room is large and airy, and ??? [film is dark here] in pure gloss-white and presided over by one of the cleverest gentlemen and finest druggist in the State, a visit to it cannot fail to be interesting. Mr. BREEN carries a full stock of drugs and medicines, fancy articles, paints oils, lamps, books, stationary, &c. also a full line of samples of wall papers, and his prices will compare favorbly [sic] with any drug store, any where. There are some firms, that it grates upon our conscience to commend very liberally, but we have no hesitation whatever in recommending Jas. T. BREEN to our readers, as every way worthy of their support. GROCERY For energy, pluck, and business too and enterprise, commend us to J. S. BOGIE and Bro., the grocers who occupy the spacious room under Bristow Hall. This firm, as will be seen by their advertisement in an other column, deal in all kinds of groceries, and in addition thereto, in country produce, bacon, lard, feathers, old iron, rags, beeswax, hides, butter, eggs, in fact every thing that a farmer wants to sell can be traded or sold to this firm. They are live men [I would hope so!] and can be relied on. Their stock is large and complete, and their courtesy extends to all their patrons. CONFECTIONERY F. SCHWANIGER, an expert baker and confectioner, does business on the east side of Maysville street, and is prepared in the best style of his trade to cater to the wants of the public. For parties, weddings and festive occasions he is equal to every emergency, and is strictly reliable. His stock of confectionaries is unsurpassed. SEWING MACHINES This business is one of gigantic proportions in our town, and for its magnitude Mr. P. L. REESE is entitled to all the credit. Of indomitable energy and pluck, versed in his business, a practical mechinist [sic], he has perambulated every hill and dale and canvassed along the meandering course of every brook and stream in this and surrounding counties, until the White Sewing Machine, which he represents, is in every house almost in the land. This machine is unrivaled in beauty and finish, runs easily, and is unsurpassed in all the qualities that make a first-class machine. Mr. REESE runs four wagons and a half-dozen hands constantly selling and delivering this justly celebrated machine. He is the most enterprising man in Eastern Kentucky, and we wish him success commensurate with his efforts. SCHOOL The educational advantages of Mt. Sterling, were never better than at present. And among the most thorough and accomplished of educators stands Mrs. L. L. HARRIS. She has long been known in this section as a mistress of her profession, and her return here was hailed with delight by her many friends. Mrs. HARRIS employs several assistants, but gives personal attention, and her own indivdualy [sic] to all the teaching. This year she has been ably assisted by Miss HERVEY and Miss HARRIS', while the music classes are presided over by Miss Addie STOCKWELL, who is thoroughly accomplished and is making a fine reputation. MERCHANT TAILORING Among the best institutions of Mt. Sterling, stands "Sam BATES the tailor," than whom there is none better in Eastern Kentucky. It don't matter to Sam what the form is, under his manipulations it comes out perfect. He understands his trade and works at living prices. We take pleasure in calling attention to his location, corner of Main and Maysville street. Sam does his own cutting and employs first-class labor to do his work. With such an artist in Mt. Sterling, it is utterly useless to go away from home to have fine suits made. Give Sam a chance. - ------------------ NEWS FROM OUR NEIGHBORS CLARK CHIPS The following committee has been appointed to examine the Big Sandy road, to ascertain the amount of work done and report at a future meeting of the court.-Judge F.
