bon, by D. B. Emgert, formerly of the Auburn
Docket. We like the name and like the paper.
1t is edited with ability. A good Republican
paper in that section has long been needed, and
the Monitor is of that stripe. We wish our friend
Emmert all the success he expects. Bourbon
is thickly settled county, and ought to give the
