Chase tries To twill rs about Ferguson.
That Is about the thinnest thing he has
tried for some time Last fall when the
election for the Convention was about to
come on, Chase got Ferguson, chow we
might explain,) to allow his name to be
associated with his (Chases) on an oppo.
sltIon ticket to the regular nominees for
the Convention, and u the calling OF said
Convention. Weare sure that the JUDGE
i'.sorry Tor his temporary association, and
that he now heartily and honestly in IA
vor OF adopting the new Constitution, and
the election Of the straight out Democratic
ticket The Islander intended TO he cast
upon Judge Ferguson and the Democratic
party, OF which Chase once pretended to he
member, is purely gratuilous and is nm
worthy a man who pretends to be gentle
man. The Judges speech at Barbours
Vile on last Court day hurt that is all.

improvements.

On all the turnpike- leading on, of town,
for mile or morc, quite a large number Of
dwellings have been erected, in some instances
they arc very handsome aud substantial, and in
all cases are neat and comfortable. Among
the more noticeable are the residences Of J. A.
Lytle, Thomas Richards, Henry and Samuel
Baughman, Esqu., and that Of DIR. George
Nc Roberts. all Of which are on the Somerset
road. On the Danyille pike, the residence Of
james Givens Is, in our opinion, the hand
~onies; frame dwelling In the county, and the
cottages Of Judge sauiley, J. W. Gillian and
Rev. II. T. Anderson, are neat, stylish and
pretty. On the Crab Orchard road, several
tasteful residences have been erected by differ
ent parties. The same can be said Of those on
the IIu-tonville pike. We like to notice such
evidences Of taste and improvement, and hope
that many Others will follow the example, I'M

Of February last, Mrs. Sarah O., consort q the
late d.. John Craig, deceased, In the ioth year
Of her age, after long and painful illness of
pulmonary consumption. She leaves family
Of Eve children, svp girls and three boys. She
had been, for ktmany years, member Of
the Christian Chuhh. and died In the full
hope Of blessed immortality. Through all
her suaering', she was accomplishing, and
bore them with that courage and fortitude
which only hope in Christ car create.
The orphans left behind have the sweet con-
ISOLATION that their mother who loved them so
tenderly In life, is now q saint in glory. Her
funeral was preached at her home, on the
evening following, by her beloved pastor, Rev.
W. /. Williams, Of Hustonville, from the
text found in the 18th Chapter Of Mathew and
18th verse. A large concourse Of friends fol-
lowed her remains to our cemetery, where they
were lain beside her kindred.

Professional Cards.

We learn that soma Of Jour professional men
object to inserting their cards in newspaper;
that IL is opposed to their Goodies Of
Ethics" Now we consider this stretch Of
professional behavior, for men Of affprofes-
sions, with the exception Of the ministry, have
from time immemorisl, advertised their bust
ness, location, &C., in the public prints Of the
day. We see no reason why the doctor or the
attorney should refuse to print the place and
character Of lis business, any more than the
business man Of any other kind should do 90
Il is, in our humble opinion, mawkish and
forced scntimentslity which influences our
professionals to desist from advertising their
calling and the place where they may be found.
The wisest, best and most learned men in both
professions have, since printing begun, placed
their cards permanently before the public,
through the medium Of newspaper advertising
We sincerely hope that this mawkish senti-
mentalism will at once be abandoned by our
more liberal and enlightened professional men.

News From Other Sections.

We hope to be able, by the kind assistance
Of friends in other sections Of our own county
and in adjoining counties, to lay before our
readers all general news which may be Of in
terest. Such reports we shall try to have
every week, and thus make our columns an
epifone of "the news" from all points where
our paper circulates, and render il popular
everywhere. We do not desire long, tedious
articles, for such are rarely ever read. The
greatest number Of ideas in the fewest words,
is what we desire. No matter how Indifferent

Important Law Suit.

Edward McCarty, Esq, Of this county, who
is large contractor on the Elirabethtown and
Paducah railroad, has sued the Company for
over 100000. The basis 81 the suit is as We
learn, that Mr.. MeCarty, under the Civil En-
gineer's estimates, undertook to construct GER
tain sections Of the road, which called for ordi.
nary dirt and clay excavations, but which
proved to be slate and flint, and hence much
more difficult and expensive to move. He laid
his case before the Board Of Construction, but
the Board refused to grant him any relief, hence
the suit. Eminent counsel have been engaged
upon either side, and the case promises to be
one Of unusual interest. For oar part we arr
decidedly for McCarty.

stand that Mr.. Hughes will travel a great

times, and hungry man is always in bad

some nice pigs feet, crackers, &c. Such an
excellent lunch we have rarely, IL ever, had.
