genuine peace, and heal the wounds

them all over until our next, at which time
we shall give full and accurate statement

Mr. J. r. Mars Secretary, and other officers
Of the Association have our thanks for courte-
sizes extended to US while in attendance.
The young men composing the Lancaster
Cornet Band have immortalized themselves
this season. The music they are making
would do credit to the most popular profess
ional band in the State.
We had the pleasure Of dining with Mr..
Thomas, President of the Association, and
the attention Of himself and charming daught-
ers deserve our profound gratitude. We are
requested by several OF our Lincoln county
friends to return their thanks To the colonel

About 5000 bushels Of wheat have been

They were highly pleased with the land and

A Coach 10 Liberty.

The completion Of the pike to Liberty, in
Casey county, which will soon be done, will
place Ms within twenty-four miles Of that town,
which would be only four hour, or less, travel
by stage, This should be post road, with
post-ofiices at Turnersyille, McKinney's, Mid
dleburg, and further on at some half way
point between the latter place and Liberty.
II would be great blessing to a large, and
mainly rich section Of country, and be the
means Of bringing travel from that direction
as far down as jamestown, in Russell county,
and all the intervening country on both sides
Of the road to this place. At first, the
travel might be light, but in proper
ton to the facilities of travel which the
public receive, in that proportion they
will make use of them. The amount
paid TO the stage contractor for carry
ing the mail, would more than support his
enterprise, and the money received for travel
would, in our opinion, be clear profit. 1t
might ps found more expedient to pass through
Hustonville, in which event il would be best,
Of course, to run that route. In any event,
there should be line Of stages over this road
by some route, to give that people greater mail
and travelling facilities. We would like to see
the experiment tried by some one, provided
we can establish it "A mail route.

1t has been suggested to us by several Of
our most prominent citizens, that as our new
courthouse is now finished, we should make
an effort to procure large size portraits or pho
tographs colored in oil, of some half dozen or
more Of the old citizens Of this county-dead
or living who have shed honor upon our
county during the two past generations, and
hang those portraits upon the walls within the
chanoel Of the court room. We like the sug-
gestion, and heartily indorse it. Who would
not like to see, for example, the Likeness OF
that grand old citizen, Ephraim Pennington,
ON its wallsY Or the likeness of Colonel Ma
pier, Judge Montgomery, Thomas Helm, and
Others, from among the dead heroes, and Judge
winfred Bailey, Evan Shelby, and Others,
from among the livingl Fellow-citizens, il is
our duty to do it. Ii would form a connect
ing link in Memorys chain with generations
gone forever In the present state of the pho
tographic art, life-size pictures can be made
from very small ones, and oolored in oil, and
made TO look as natural as life. Who will
contribute TO this good work. Let some one
set the example and others will follow.

The Eall TrnAe.

Among Wholesale merchants the Fall trade
has already set in, and viii continue for over
two months. Hence, now is the time for them
to send us their cards for insertion in our pa
per, and keep them there at least until after
the sale season closes. We will guarantee that
they will be read by all our readers, for in a
country community, the people read all that
newspaper eontains-ahyertisements and all.
Better far to spend your money on the coun-
try press than the city daily, for none of the
latter have one fiftieth part of the readers
among country merchants and dealers gener-
ally, that the country weekly has. This is
positively true Therefore, send on your cards.

Our Hill Country.

From time almost immemorial, the only
source Of revenue to those Of our citizens who
live in the hill, or "knob" region of our county,
was in selling wood, timber, boards, shingles,
posts, rails, etc. This required great labor,
and that not duly requited. Il does seem to
Us that il those people who own land there,
would plant orchards and vineyards-plant
peaches, apples and wine grapes, and give the
ground the same care only which they bestow
upon their yearly crops, the products would
be far in excess Of all they receive from pres
ent sources. There, the fruit crops are scarcely
ever known to fail-certainly not half so often
as other crops, and when they do fail, there is
nothing lost in gathering and marketing it,
We have scarcely any peaches here in the
lower lands this year. while that region is full
Of them, Of the finest varieties, wherever trees
are found There is no danger Of overstocking
the market, for the fruit 5us,ld ha hlrreled for
winter in part and part made into apple and
peach brandy, while the grapes could all be sold
to wine makers at remunerative prices. The
soil, Of course, need not be rich, and the hol-
lows are filled with leaf and other vegetable
mould, which could be hauled and spread
over the ground, every season, at a time when
but little other kind of work Is to be or can
be done Wherever you sec an orchard in the
knobs, you see fruit in great abundance, and
the immense grape vines of the wild varieties
twining over one hundred feet long and all
over the tops Of immense trees, is proof posi-
tive that the soil without additional manure,
and the climate, are suitable for this fruit
Indee,i, these hills are the native habitat Of the
grspe, and other fruits would flourish equally

Richmond Fair.

The Richmond Fair closed on Friday last
and il is the unanimous expression among
those of our citizens who were in attendance,
that il was by far the best exhibition they have
ever had. The show of stock unpreoedentedly
good. Our fellow citizen John $. Owsley, As
usual, carried of several Of the ribbons of the
right color, on his superior short horn cattle
We note that others, also, Of our citizens took
premiums. Mr.. Owsley exhibited his cattle
against the famous herd of +. l.. Davidson, of
Washington county, and took three out of
seven blue ribbons. Bully for old Lincoln
county, In addition 10 these, there were sew
eral very line saddle and harness animals from
this county, belonging TO divers Of our citizens,
and which were exhibited by Reuben Harris,
the famous horse man, and they too, almost
without exception, came homo with the bonny
blue ribbon flying from their brides.

MeniOrizing.

Mental application, we know, is just as Sc
vero-even more so-upon the Individual, as
physical labor. Moreover the committing to
memory is merely mechanical operation, and
does not improve the understanding. II an
individual memories an entire book, word for
word, he does not understand the contents half
SO well as the one who reads and digests the
same book, without being able to repeat from
memory alone, a single page Of its contents.
Let teachers Of Sunday and other schools, bear
this in mind. II is far better for them to in
duee their scholars to read certain things and
then give the history Of what they have read
in their own language, as near as possible.

what Our Farmers say.

In a conversation with half dozen Of our
best farmers the other day they agreed unani-
mously to the following statements;
There was never in the history Of the coun-
try better wheat crop raised than that just
harvested"
During the past forty years, we do not re-
member of better crops Of everything, save
timothy meadow, being raised in this section
of country"
"The farmers of this county have had not
one single cause to grumble, and We have
heard less grumbling than ever before during
our lives"
"The best potato crop we ever saw"
.sTha grass was never hotter" &c.

theological Seminary.

The Theological Seminary at Danville has
suspended instruction. The cause was the
resignation of three of the four Professors,
who could not get along amicably with the
fourth. The Board met last week, accepted
the three designations, and requested the fourth
to ego and do likewise" There were only
half dozen students or so anyway, and per
haps it is well enough to suspend. The Gen
eral Assembly of the church will settle the
difficulties
