MONTICELLO, Kv., April 2, 1873.
Farming still gocs on slowly. II seems a.
II all the rain laid up for year had been
crowded into month. None Of our farmers
IL half done planting corn and the greater
part have not commenced, and will not be
ready for week OF two. We are fearful that
there will no, be much rails l.fs for summer,

est, they must put down this curse, which has
hung like pail upon the town for half a
century. We venture the assertion that, had
the present law been in force twenty years
ago, Monticello would to-day have stood fore
most among the towns Of Southeastern Ken
lucky. Situated in the midst Of one Of the
prettest and most fertile valleys east Of the
Mississippi, il could not have failed to rise
had it not been encumbered by the terrible
evil Of vice-creaiinp, energy destroying,
virtue-corrupting whisky.
But the spirit Of improvement has mani
tested itself considerably. During the past
year three fine residences have been built, and
two more are now in process Of erection. AT
present there are in town four dry good. and
grocery stores, one drug store, AMI one hard
ware and notion store. The last was estsb-
lished some time last year by c. W. Gragg Of
Somerset, whose courteous bearing and real
good store have won him much custom.
There are slso four dram bishops, which will
soon die the death they so well merit. Will
not some kind, Good Templar come down and
"gub us a lif'? We would welcome the Or
der again, II We did fall once.
