Holeomb, president of the Old Settlers’ organization of Bates county, requests us to an- nounce a change of date for the old settlers celebration und picnic from the 28th to the 21st of September. This change is made, Mr. Holcomb says, after advising with a large number of members, the principal reason being that the Cumberland Presbyterian church will hold its presbytery at Spruce on the 28th that would prevent a large number of people of that section from attend- ing the old settlers celebration in Butler on that date. Every person county for twenty-five years is eligi- ble to membership, and all such are cordially invited and urged to at- tend this meeting on the 21st and participate in the festivities.

He has earned the strong place that he holds in the affections of the Demo- crats of the state, and I suspect that the Globe-Democrat’s opposition to him is due to the fact that he has helped to win 8o many Democratic victories, and is still capable of giv- ing such effective assistance to the cause of Democracy.” War Lord or Statesman.

Lexington, Ky., Sept. 4.—News reached here to-night from Manches- ter, Clay county, the famous seat of the Baker-Howard feud, that there was a deadly battlefought Saturday. night on Sexton’s Creek, near the Owsley county line, between the Gril- fins and the Philpots. One man on each side was killed and two, probably three, others dan- gerously wounded. The meeting was at a moonshine still kept by a man ‘named Thomp- son, and the participants were drink- inz. Pete Philpot, whoin the deadly encounter between the factions three years ago had killed three men from his place of concealment on the road side, struck Sam Griffin in the face with a beer glass. Bud Griffin was shot in the breast and instantly killed. One of Griffin’s friends by this time had his revolver the heart. The fight then became general, and several others took part in the shooting, which wasin a room not cleared away Tim Wiggins, a broth- er-in-law of the Philpot boys; Bill Jones, also a Philpot feudist, and found tojhave been wounded.
