A newspaper column by the late Bobby White, 1983. August 1883 - 100 years ago: During the week of the County fair, Mr. KENLICK, of Pennsylvania, will be here in search of stylish geldings, provided as many as ten can be assured him. I will be in Glasgow until after that date and would be glad to put in shape horses of any one who wishes to sell to him. Jim OWSLEY. Mr. T. H. SMITH, salesman for the well-known piano and organ house of D. H. BALDWIN & Co. of Louisville, is in this country and will remain here for some time. All citizens who are contemplating purchasing a piano or organ would do well to confer with Mr. Smith, as he will not be undersold. I have several "Fruit Evaporators" on hand which I will dispense of on easy terms and at a bargain price. James T. BARBEE. Don't forget that PACE & Co., Glasgow, represents the Old Hickory wagon, South Bend Chilled plow, and other good farming implements. Mrs. J. NAHM, of Hiseville, will leave for New York Thursday to visit her sisters. Mrs. Nahm has not before seen her sisters for thirty-five years. Mrs. Eliza WILLIAMS, of the Slick Rock country, exhibited her home, last week, some beautiful silk specimens manufactured by herself. Mrs. Williams has gone sharply into the silk business, but disposes of the most of her stock in the egg state, as she finds that most profitable. She is the first land in these parts to successfully raise silk worms. Twenty-two scholars for the Glasgow Normal School were secured by Prof. F. McBATH during a recent tour of East Tennessee, and a large increase is promised in attendance at Liberty College. These schools were never better in condition or shape that at present. One day last week, the knives of one of Hamlete & Vaughn's planer broke off while at work. A piece of the machinery struck Wes DAVIS across the legs inflicting wounds which incapacitated him from a continuance of work for awhile. No serious damage was done. Mrs. Bartley STINNETT, of the Skagg's Creek country, lost a little daughter with flux last Saturday. Mrs. Stinnett is also very dangerously ill with the same disease. Miss Polly PARDUE, of the same neighborhood has also been quite ill with flux, but is now improving. During the past four months, Mr. Ambrose CLAYTON has caught twenty-three ground hogs, eighty-three coons, thirty skunks, six muskrats, one mink, and one hundred o'possoms. This is the best varmit-exterminating record of this section and Mr. Clayton wears the belt of champion trapper at present. The vote for and against the proposition for the County court to take $2,500 stock in the Glasgow to Scottsville Pike stood thirteen against, and two for it. If the new Pike is to be built at all, it is pretty plain that it must be done without any help from Barren County. George HOOP, a well-known rough character, once a resident of these parts, was seen a few days ago in Louisville. George was last heard of in an affray on the Mississippi river, where he was said to have been literally disembowled by a roustabout. His coming to life will not excite a very lively sentiment of gratitude in the breasts of those who know him best. Going into her parlor in the early dusk of a few evenings since Mrs. Dr. FRANKLIN espied a man clambering in to her window. He fell back out into the darkness as soon as discovered. Mrs. Henry MOSS, one night last week, was also waked by some one attempting to enter the window. She made an outcry, and the inquisitive party withdrew. Somebody is pining for an introduction to the muzzle-end of a shotgun. Sandi
