Ever since Adam and Eve walked, slept, hoed stem-winding onions and pared their corns together in the garden of Eden, man has been the victim to wo man's wiles and the slave of her charms. She wields a sceptre more potent than that of all other powers combined and her influence over the Iprds of creation is beyond conception. For her sake wars have been waged, battles fought, kingdoms gone down, thrones lost and -- 2.1 "i i ii i :,UiCb LU1U"U uwa' one as aiwa3's oeen tuo ueeu U1 nearis' 5liaPinS mem ns me potter shapes the clay, and playing with them too often as the cat plavs with its victim, first before destroying it's life. For her sake, for her smiles and favor, men freely give up their lives, preferring death to dishonor or their loss. She has fascinated the world by her charms and won adoration and loyalty by her smiles. A beautiful woman is God's most perfect .work. She is always an aneel or a devil. Her wand waves with the potency of pur ity or the slime of sensuality. History says that a calamity befell the early life of tall, red-cheeked, dashy young Irishman, Simon Kenton, by his sweetheart going back on him. To get revenge, on the marriage eve, Simon went to the'wedding uninvited and took and seat between the to-be-married couple, from which position he was bounced and whipped by the groom, Bill Yeach. Simon, however abided his time, and almost drubbed the life out of his oppo nent. Nor was that all. ' Simon, it appears from the following rare document, unearthed from its long resting place in our County Clerk's office by Capt. Pate Miller, went into the gay-deceiving business, and came to grief by having been met by a breach of promise suit. We leave the readers to infer how he got out of his trouble, as the case was dismissed by "agree :" THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS.

The prettiest lady in attendance of the Cynthiana Fair, was a rosy-cheeked brunette, with eyes as black and sparkling as two lumps of anthracite coal, and her hair as black and glossy as a raven's wing.

SOCIETY SCmTHiliATIONS. to Vanity is the quickest of reason. Hal Brent is here from Kansas City. to A delicate thought is the flower of the on mind. Mrs. Ollie Smith has arrived to attend the fair. Yellow flowers trim dark green and black straw bonnets. all The energies of the soul slumber in the vague reveries of hopes. A fool always fjnds sqrne one more fool? j ish than he to. admire him, Mrs. Rev. J. M. Evans returned from a visit to St. Louis, Saturday. Recollection, is the only paradise out of which we cannot he-driven, Envy lurks at the bottom of the human heart, like a viper in its hole. All truths are not to be uttered ; still is not always good to hear them. Natural flowers have entirely, spercedr ed artificial on.es. far- trirn.in.ing dresses, The newest oloth goods have round spots as large as the palm of a lady's hand. Prof. Lockhart and almost all of the Old Point Comfort excursionists have returned home. e. e.vil a got a pretty firm hold on many a yo.ung. man, just because he carried a night-key. If instead c4 mechau ics, would go on strikes tho eoun" couldn't stand it. ""' Gen. Abe Buford says hQ'a bound to get married before, winter. He can't stand tt any longer-. Dark and black straw hats.will be much worn with all sorts of costumes, including very bright colored ones. Miss Tillie Brent of this place has gone to Lake Chatauqua, in company with Judge O'Hara and wife, of Covington. Among the growing innovations in modern fashions the wearing of velvet in all seasons, not excepting midsummer. If a cheerful heart is a continual feast, there must be a large number of people who do not get a square meal once a year. From appearances, we are going to have a regular "Josie" fair. The hlack velvet ones are pretty and are not so dazy and dashy as the brilliant cardinel satin ones. "When Nelse Eoland straddles a horse and bows his form like the half of a barrel hoop, that is a guarantee that there's a string, and in nine cases out of ten, a blue. Two elegant widows Mrs. Margaret Glass, and Mrs. Pattie McGowan, formerly Mrs. Gen. Buford, nee, Pattie Duke, of Scott county, are the guests of Mrs. C. C. Leer, of this precinct. "When a flock of bad husbands arrive at "White Sulphur Spring on Saturday nights, there is generally a large skip-out of gay mashers for some of the neighbor-watering places the next morning. Miss Nannie Megibhen took the premium in the ladies' driving ring at Cynthiana, over Miss Nannie Eedmon and Mrs. Josh Barton, of Bourbon. Miss Megib hen drove "Wilson's Lady Dejarnett, anda the others drove horses belonging here on. earth.

Twelve Reasons Why. The Harrison County Agricultural and Horse Trotting Association will lose money this year. If the young officers of this association will tear off their badges and play country citizen just one year, they will absorb the important information all other visitors do. First, that their fair grounds arc located in a spot which is ten degrees hotter than the balance of the United States. Second, that it is hard to stretch a three-days' exhibition through five days without showing up many thin spots in all the days. Fourth, that their crowd is always a local one, and three days at fifty cents each is about as much as an attendant cares to spend on a prosier exhibition than a circus. Fifth, that nobody cares for anything but the races, and that the religious portion of the show is merely a shallow sham. Sixthr that without the concerted action, of all neighboring newspaper to scatter information among the people that a certain thing expects their patronage at a certain place at a certain time, there is but a small show for drawing anything but a small local crowd. Seventh, that St. Louis cannot draw a crowd on the first day of their fair. Eighth,, that the first and second days ought to be wiped from all fair catalogues, and the days be numbered as 3rd, 4th and 5th, to suit the "gillies" who attend fairs to act fools and always be in the way. Ninth, that three fairs are enough for the State. Tenth, that people are becoming too civilized for fairs anyway. Eleventh, that there won't be a fair in any but the frontier States within twenty years. Twelvth, that the weather ought to be changed so as to suit the Cvnthiana Fair.
