Of the 119 counties 91 are 'dry/'? Whiskey cannot be sold legally in their limits, nor any other intoxicating drink. Of the remaining twenty-eight counties only four are nredominated by the tk\vets," t lie remainder having only one or two precincts in which liquor may be sold. Le~s than a month ago Harrison county and Cynthiana wore carried by the "drys" by overwhelming majorities. It i? estimated that 97 per cent of the territory of the State is dry. In thi.s dwells 74 per cent of the population. There is only one wet spot in the entire lltli Congressional district, the far famed mountain region of moonshine and feud. That is the town of Middlesboro. The same is true of the Jackson Purchase, comprising nearly all the western part of the State, the city of Paducah being the only wet spot there. One may ride from Louisville to Nashville, across the State from north to south on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, without passing a saloon. All the southeastern part of the Stafe, comprising 15,000 square miles, and one-thuvi of the State, is dry with the exception ot tlie town of Miildlesboro.

Pies Pulled up Poplar. Sati Francisco Star: "Speaking ot exaggerations," said a traveller, "reminds me of the pie bird story of the Breton farmer. There was a farmer in Brittany, who wished to tell a visitor how his farm had been overrun with pies Pies, you know, are large birds, black and white, with long tails?a kind ot crow. The farmer said the pies devastated his fields horribly. If he put up scarecrows, the birds tore them down. One day his young son ran into the granite farm house and shouted : Oh, lather, hundreds ot birds! The \vhe?t i- bein^ all eaten up! The larmer loaded his gun. But where were I he^shot? None could be found. He put in a few hand I uls of tacks instead. Then he ran out.
