Our hearts desire is that the day is not far
distant when Kentucky will be entirely indie
pendent of Pennsylvania or any other State,
for her coal supply. The untold millions Of
her wealth which has gone to swell and enlarge
the Golfers Of citizens Of other states, in pur-
ulou. ifthe facts could be fully shown. The
cry has been, all the time, that Pttsburg coal
is far superior to any coal in Kentucky. Con-
'equently, the coal received from that point
his always met with ready sale, at prices far
above our own coal. So long as men give way
to such falaey, 10 long will the coal from Penn
ylvsnia mec, with ,-ssd n ssle in ourmarkets.
<rwtsperience in the burning q coal
found along the line Of L. 4 p. II. r., but pre-
sumo il is similar to that Of Csnnelton. As
Tor the coal TO be found in the counties Of
Rockcastle, Laurel, &C., VIC speak what we
snow when we say that better or more beau
tiful FIRE cannot be made Of any other mate
rial 1t blaEes up with very little effort, ard
creates cheerful, bright fire. Other coal may
De richer in gas, but then our mountain coal
burns up clean, leaving but little cinders or
,shes, and as little smoke and SCOT come from
It as from ash wood. In fact, it burns more
like ash or sugar tree wood than anything
else.
What we need is the extension ofour Knox
vile Branch road through Laurel county, and
ihen, whether the Ohio river freezes or dries
up our rail road can supply every demand for
coal, and at prices which will not ruin poor
man to pay. With the f. 4 z. X. r., and the
Knoxville Branch of the /. & n. r. K. COM
Peted, our people need not fear another coal
famine.

"Col. J. ID. Pollard Of Crab Orchard,
Ky. was in our town lat week, laboring
in the interests Of Odd Fellowship.
Under his direction several persons
joined the Columbia lodge
We clip the above from the Ciu,nbin Sp,c-
tutor. We learn that this faithful old worker
in the cause u Old Fellowship was at Colnm-
bia in the interests Of the Widow and Orphans
Fund Life Insurance company, and found
the lodge II odd Fellows at that placc little
lukc-wsrm, aud A. j. characteristics Of the man,
he turned to work, and aroused them up to
the work, and Eve additions were made to
the lodge. A resolution was passed by unan-
imous vote that they would celebrate the
coming anniversary Of the introduction Of the
Order in the United States, April Goth.
T. g. NJ. POLAND being invited TO deliver an
ad,lrc~- on that occasion, consented To do 81.

The Late Judge Napier.

We think the people of Lincoln Coun-
ty owe it to themselves and to the mem
DRY Of the deceased, to erect over his re-
mains suitable monument For num-
Der Of years, Thomas Wilson Napier,
served this people faithfully and well as
a sheriff, and county judge; and, by his
great prudence and economy saved their
Treasury hundreds Of dollars. Snatched
from us in the midst of his usefulness, we
think il would be an act Of justice, as il
should he our pride, to raise by private
subscriptions money enough to erect 'ufh
a monument as would bear down to flu
ture generations, some token Of the high
regard we all had for him as an officer,
man, and citizen. II needs no such mark
to perpetuate his memory in the minds
and hearts Of those who knew him in
life, but III. should be done for the ben
eft of the ri,ing and future generations
Of men, II. 4 il is the duty of those who
knew him, to do it. Who will begin this
work of love- We have heard it men,
toned several times, and our desire and
hope are that the matter may be accom-
plished during the present year.

Spring Hill.

At Crab Orchard, in this county, Col. Henry
W. Farris has fitted up this old and well known
race clurse in a style inferior to none in the
West. The mound around which the track is
made, furnishes u shield to the view, and the
stand is so arranged that visitors can see the
horses running for the first quarter or hall,
and then this mound excludes them from view
until they enter the "home stretch" This is
admirable, for when the dashing, flying ami
mails disappear around the mound, il affords
much pleasure and excitement to watch them
as they come in sight on the last quarter Be
sides being one Of the best arranged, il is also
one of the hest managed tracks in the country,
and Col. Farris deserves much credit for what
he has done to encourage the rearing Of b!ooded
horses in Kentucky. We learn that the Fall
meeting over this course promises to be one Of
unusual interest.

The negroes, in this day and genera
ton, think they have a right to do as
they please. This is no wonder to us, as
they think they will be fully protected
by the U. S. Courts. A few DAYS since,
party of them went intoa sugar orchard
of lady who is resident of another
county; but who owns fine sugar Or
chard near our town, and tapped a
number of trees; and, when told to desist,
they treated the order as though it came
from the wind. The only way to treat
such creatures, is to take double-barrel-
ed shotgun and give them few loads of
shot. The fact is, they have became so
insolent that "forbearance has ceased To
be virtue and hot shot is the only
means of defense.

Accident.

wslsarn from Mr.. J. L. Dawson Of this
county, that on Sunday last, as his son J. ]
lawson, Jr., and wife and little niece were re-
turning home from his brothers, near Turner'S
Vile, his horse became frightened in conse-
quence Of some portion Of the harness giving
way; and commenced kicking fearfully,
wounding Mr.. ID. slightly on the forehead.
The horse reared and fortunately fell, breaking
a shaft and freeing himself from the buggy.
lie ran about three miles, having nothing on
when caught but Birdie and collar. Not
much harm done except perhaps ruined
horse. 80 much for old rotten harness.

Our Female College.

When this new school first opened, ev.
ery body seemed to be awake 10 its sue
cess. "a new broom sweeps clean"
The frst session numbered close TO hun
drci pupils. Such beginning was rare
y, fever, witnessed. High hopes were
entertained that the present term would
find over one hundred pupils in attend
ance. What are the facts in the case2
Simply these, not 50 many pupils rs il had
during the first session. and that spirit
Of determination TO make IL one of the
best female colleges in Kentucky, has
died away, and, already, its patrons have
begun to lose interest in il. We are in
deed sorry to note this apathy on the
part N those who have girls to educate.
Surely il is the duty Of all our citizens,
whether they have children to educate
or not; to see to il that this excellent
school is maintained. The merchant,
the private citizen, and in truth, all of
us, have a deep interest in its success.
Never, until now, had our town such an
Institution. IL il is allowed to go down,
for the want Of patronage, what will the
result be9 Simply this, those who are
able to afford it will be compelled to send
their daughters off to other towns to oth-
err schools, at cost to them Of hundreds
Of dollars more than il would cost to keep
them here at home; and their children
cannot there, of course, be under parental
charge. Those who are not able to do
this, will be deprived of the opportunity
to educate their daughters as they would
desire. We only throw out these sug-
gestions by way of calling your attention
to the great importance Of maintaining
the present school ia such a way as e.
enable the principal to keep up the vcry
best order of tuition. Perhaps you may
find, too late, that you have not given
this matter sufficient attention, Now is
the time to aid in the good work. Wait
until the school goes down, and then you
will repent in sorrow the days when you
failed to hold it up by every means with
in your power.

Court Day nt DanyilIc.

The day being bright and beautiful, there
was n very large Attendance at County Court
in our sister village. We give in another
column the report Of stock sales. Prices ruled
a little better than at any time during the
winter, and better feeling seemed to prevail
among stock men and the business public gen.
orally. We sincerity hope that with the open
ing of spring, trade Of all kinds will revive.
We heard from the leading merchants Of
Danville that they intend to lay in fine stocks
Of goods, from the fact that they will be able

March,.

OF all the months in Il e year, the month OF
March Is the most disagree, able. Cold east
winds usually prevail, and one feels badly all
the time In doors, il is pleasant enough, but
when the wind Of Mar'h -tril e. us about the
ears and back, we feel worse than we in the
solid cold, weather of January. liow,ye-,
March winds are not wholly useless. They
dry the ground and thus prepare it for the
farmers pillow in April. Without il, the earth
would remain wet and cod moe, instead OF
being able to turn up the stubble grounds fol
our coming crops, we would be far behind in
our farming operations. lie who governs the
winds and the waves, knows best what is foI
our good, and man should not complain at the
state of the weather. II is al, doubtless, for
our good.

The election for our town Trustees will take
place the first Saturday in April We hear Of
no question which is likely to have a con
trolling influence; except the question Of
whisky or no whisky" Ifthe lodge Of Good
Templars would agtate this matter vigorously,
we verify believe that this penicious and
baleful article would be driven from our town.
No better Board Of Trustees than the present
one could be selected, as they are, without
exception, sober, prudent business men and
wise councilmen.

Minke DepreslatiOns.

We learn that Mr.. Dick Moore, has
recently sufeted the loss Of several lit
.tssz-af pig ~ siGlea HID during.
the night after they were pigged, Mr..
Moore thinks mink did the mischief,
as parts of the pigs were found in a
hemp pile, near by, where mink was
snugly housed, and enjoying the fruits
of his deperdations. We are inclined to
the belief that Mr.. Fox had hand in
the killing, and Mr.. Mink only came in
for share of the spoils.
The mink has been killed, and we hope
Uncle Jim King, will attend to the foxs
case.

Lynch LAW.

We have been informed that some few
weeks ago, a party of men visited family
in the bill part Of our county, at night, and
administered to the inmates both male and ie-
male, quite severe hogging. All partie'
were white people. Thisis certainly disgrace
full conduct, and should not be tolerated in civ
ilized community. The cause of this disturb
anee was purely of personal character, and
had nothing whatever to do with politics Of any
kind, or "Kuklux" orders.

Whilcwaslsing.

Nothing gives a more pleasing appearance
to village or farm home than snow-white
fences and out-buildings. More than this, lime
is very beneficial to health, and if scattered
about your premises and washed over your
buildings and fences, Il disinfects any bad or
ders that may arise from any source. See to il,
then, that when spring opens, your premises
are very thoroughly washed with lime, and
you will be amply remunerated for the small
outlay necessary to accomplish il.
