We are indebted to Mrs. Nannie Vineyard, wife of Prof. Brice W. Vineyard, of 
Cedar Bluff College, Ky. (formerly of Liberty,) for a penciled sketch 
entitled “Ruins by Moonlight.”  It is very beautiful, and is pronounced by 
artistic judges to be a master piece.  Mr. Austin, the celebrated sketcher for 
Edwards’ New Atlas, says it possesses much merit, and required no little 
patience and great genius to perfect it.  It can be seen at this office for a 
few days.

A.B. Moberly was in town the other day looking very pleasing, and on enquiring 
I was informed that he had a bouncing big boy baby at his house.  Come up 
Moberly and get a bottle of Mrs. Whitcomb’s Soothing Syrup or you will loose 
some rest in your old days.

Miss Ida Simrall, one of Kentucky’s fairest daughters, is visiting our city, 
the guest of Miss Annie Lyons.  Miss Ida is a resident of Shelbyville, and a 
graduate of the noted and far famed Female College of that place; hence she is 
not only intelligent but is possessed of all those cultivated graces and 
accomplishments which makes woman lovely and attractive, even among strangers. –
 Plattsburg Register.  
Miss Simrall is a sister of Judge Simrall, of Liberty.

Moss, formerly of Liberty, favored us with a call Wednesday.  He is visiting

Little Miss Fannie Ligon, of Kansas City, is visiting at her uncle’s Leonard

pretty.

Mrs. Monroe left here one day last week for her home in far off California.  
She was accompanied as far as Omaha by her brother, Mr. Ed. Bell.

Master Joe Robinson, son of Mr. Jno. H. Robinson, fell from an apple tree a few 
days ago and received serious injuries but under the treatment of his skillful

well – school will son commence – and show the boys you are not hurt so bad but 
what you can “flax” them all.

accounts.  His son J.T., also got his eye hurt, but is also improving.
