A PnFF FnR MR. HOOKER.

We were pleased to notice the an
nouncement of our friend R. P. Hooker
for the legislature. He is nice. clever
gentleman. We predict for him an al.
most unanimous vote, and, in the end,
many laurels.
Mr. sPANGLER FOR MAGISTRATE.
If rumor be true, Mr.. VIM. Spangler
will doubtless be candidate for magis-
trate in the ninth district at the next elec-
ton. He says he can find out where that
courthouse fund has gone. We are for
him world without end, for we want to
know all about it.
MORE CATTLE SHIPMENTS.
Mr.. j. A. Taylor shipped two car loads
of cattle last week. We can't stop him;
he will buy in spite Of all we can do.
FIRE THAT SPREAD ITSELF
Mr.. James Chick was burning brush
Thursday afternoon while the wind was
blowing gently, and the blaze, seeking
amusement, spread itself over several
farms, and but for the timely aid of some
gentlemen who were working the road,
and a gentle shower In the evening, no
doubt many fences, and probably quite a
number of houses would now be in ashes
THE CROP PROSPECTS,.
Upon inquiry from our reliable far
mers. We learn that prospects are good
for a general crop. We noticed while
passing many orchards on Sunday, that
most all the trees were in full bloom. We
noticed in the Courier-uornaL few days
since, thata correspondent from this coun>
ty reported tobacco plants a partial fall
ure. We have heard Of no failure in this
part of the county, nor, from any other.
:,r A FALSE REPORT.
Some one reported us last year as In a
starving condition. and that men were
seeking employment for their victuals,
and some we believe were reported actu-
ally begging. He wanted stay-law
passed, but did not get it. We want it
distinctly understood that we want no
such law, and that we heard of no one
asking aims last year, and prophesy we
will not this.
RETURNED AT LAST.
Our young widower has returned; he
got lost and with difficulty found the way
home.
TRADE IMPROVING.
Our merchants have received large
assortment of all classes of goods; trade
is improving, and we all feel better.

Sad and Sudden Death.

Friday afternoon, at the residence of her
parents in this town. Mrs. Mary Griffin,
wife Of Mr.. 7. Lsrkin Griffin, died very
suddenly, as supposed of heart disease.
She had been complaining some for a day
or two, but was not supposed to be seri-
ously indisposed. But few minutes be-
fore her death, she was out in the yard,
and came into the house and went to the
press and got bite to eat She then
picked up her babe, and went to the bed
and laid down. Her grandmother, who
was in the room, attracted by peculiar
stertorous and gasping breathing, went
to the bedside and asked what was the
matter with her but the doomed lady was
speeches.. Her brother was summoned
and started as fast as horse could carry
him for her husband and medical aid,
but before either reached her, Mrs. Grif-
fin had passed from earth. She was
buried on Sabbath morning, her remains
being followed to her last resting place by
large concourse of sorrowing relatives,
neighbors and friends. Mrs Griffin would
have been nineteen years of age the Goth
day Of this month, and was a young lady
ofrare beauty of person and disposition.
and was universal favorite in the COM
munity. She leaves young babe Of si1
or eight weeks.

Action of New Liberty Grange, No.
455-It dominates u Candidate
for Magistrate.

BEAVER DAN. KY, April II, 1875.
EDITOR HERALD:-Your excellent paper
is most welcome visitor to my humble
domicil, and is perused with more inter-
est by my better-half than either of the
three papers that pay their weekly visits
to our freside. The agricultural depart
ment is of the greatest interest to me, and
| think if the farmers of this county will
show proper appreciation of its advan-
tages, it will be as instructive and prof.
liable as either of the other departments.
In this connection, would request that
our worthy and Reverend Brouher, j.. F.
Austin, furnish the readers of the HERALD
a series of letters on agriculture. He is
live farmer, and profound thinker, and
his letters would add greatly to the in
terest of the paper.
At the regular meeting of New Liberty
Grange, No. ASS, Ohio county, KY, the
following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
ReSolUed-That we recognize the fact that
it is to the pecuniary and vital interest of
the Taxpayers of this county, that men of
sound Judgment and strict integrity be Sc
lected as Magistrates.
ResolUed-That we believe that the Of
flee should seek the man, and not tn e
man the Office, and that a political con-
test is not the surest way to make such a
selection.
ResolUed-That we recommend our
worthy brother, John W. Taylor, as a
suitable man for Magistrate in the upper
Hartford District, and ask of the Patrons
and voters Of this district favorable con-
sideration.
ResOlUed-That J. NJ. Rogers send these
resolutions to the HERALD, and ask their
publication.
Accompanying, you will find paper
read before New Liberty Grange, at their
last meeting, prepared by your subscri-
Der, which some of the brethren requests
ed should appear in the HERALD, and
which you can dispose of as you think
best Hoping the HERALD long life and
great success, l bid you adieu. J.M.R.

The Army Worm.

]. J. Williams, living two miles from
town in the No Creek settlement, brought
to our Office on Friday morning. about a
dozen army worms, which he found un-
der the grass, and very near the surface.
They were all alive, pany of them have
cast their old skins, and we're ready to
begin operations on the young heritage.
Mr.. Williams assures US that they are as
thick as they possibly could be. We fear
that this is another scourge in store for
our farmers. As they are so close to the
surface, just among the roots OF the grass,
would not fire. applied to the dead grass,
consume them2 We think so, and sug-
gest trial. 1t can do no harm to burn
off the dead grass, anyway, and may re-
suit in the EXTERN ination of a serious and
devastating plague.

DIED..

GRIFFIN.-0n the 9th inst. at her fathers
residence, in Hartford, Ky. MARY F0RMAN
GRIFFIN, aged eighteen years and eleven
months.
There are times when we can but shut our
eyes, hush the tbrobbings Of our hearts, and
walk by faith, trusting solely to the word Of
Him who said, "My grace shall be sufficient
for you," and never have we felt the need Of
faith, more than now, when our hearts are
filed with grief for the loss of this young and
happy hearted Mary Griffin.
A general gloom filed our community, when
we heard she was dead-strieken down in ap-
parent health, and in all the fullness Of youth
full beauty. Although so young, she was a ma
tured and thoughtful woman, full of love and
trust for her young husband, and OVERLOOKING
with tenderness for the little babe that had
folded its tiny wings upon her breast, and
whose young life was music tone, adding q
holy charm to her dream of "a happy future.
Alas! it has proved but dream, for without
minutes warning, Deaths angel struck her
to the hearth, and she died with the little babe
close clasped to her loving bosom. He who
tempers the winds to the shorn lamb, will have
the little one in His keeping.
1t is too pitiful, it is too sad, but how blessed
is that hope, that lights up this darkness and
whispers,
Over The river, 'mong angels fair,
Mary will watch, and await us there.

Sulphur Springs Grange Refuses 10 En-.
dOrse the Political Action of the Coun-
~ Council. .--.. ..~
At a meeting ofSulphur Springs Grange,
No. 735, held April 10th, 1875, the follow-
ing preamble and resolutions were unan-
imously adopted: . ......
WHEREAS, The Ohio County Council OF
the Patrons Of Husbandry, at a meeting
held in Hartford on the I'd day of April,
1878, thought proper TO nominate can
didate TO represent Ohio county in the
next General Assembly, and.
WHERgAs, We deem all political action
sntagoni-tic to the spirit aud teaching OF
the Order Of Patrons of Husbandry, and
well calculated to bring it into disrepute,
by making it liable to be branded as Sc
cret political party; and. -.,t...-.
WHEREAS. We, as subordinate Grange,
did not send delegates to said Council for
the purpose Of taking any such political
action. therefore be it
ReSOtved, That while willing and anx>
ious to cooperate with all right-minded
citizens OF the county (regardess of past
political differences) in the selection of a

Assembly or elsewhere, we do most em>

Council at the aforesaid meeting and, be

LETTER FROM SULPHUR SPRINGS.

EDITOR HERALD:-Permit me again to
bother you with a few items from the
Springs We have no news to chronicle
worthy of notice, except little neighbor.
hood gossip, and will not put much of
that in, as it will not prove interesting to
any but US. We depend much on the
HERALD for news, and are always waiting
anxiously its advent; and, by the way,
permit me to say it proves so far quite a
newsy sheet.
THE FARMERS AFIELD.
Our farmers are rejoiced at the present
good weather, and are pushing things
lively on their farms. several having al
ready planted some corn. Indeed every
one seems TO be invigorated with a new
life since the spring season has opened.
Even those who are affected with scolding
wives are looking so pleased and happy
that their "better halves" cannot find it in
their hearts to scold them for more than
three hours.
WHAT WOULD PLEASE EN-.
No doubt some Of that unfortunate class
of husbands would be glad that this pleas
ing state of affairs would last for some
time, at least through the summer months,
30 that they could obtain little rest, so
that their wearied souls would not have
to resort to any argument whatever to
soothe their ruffled tempers.
WARN CONTEST AHEAD.
We will have quite an interesting con-
test for the magisterial offices, as quite a
host of candidates are already in the field.
l have learned that the following gentle
men are candidates: T. j. Barrett, A. T.
Hines. J. c. Bean. Joel Hamilton and
Tobias Medkif, all very clever and nice
gentlemen, either Of whom would fill the
position with credit and honor to himself
ABOUT RUNNING FOR OFFICE.
l believe that running for Office is the
most popular thing nowadays, and your
correspondent would become a candidate
if some one would solicit him, and if he
could determine what office to run for
The Offices of magistrate and assessor seem
to be the most popular, but which is the
most 80, cannot find out. think Tim
Various might alleviate some of his trou-
bles if he would come up here and help
some of the above-named gentlemen run
for office. They would probably greatly
reward him, perhaps by having him app
pointed deputy constable.
DEATH OF GOOD CITIZEN.
We are panied to announce the death
of Mr.. E. NJ. Westerfeld, the eldest son
of DR.. Isaac Westerfeld. He leaves a wife
and six almost helpless children. He was
between thirty-ive and forty years of age,
and died after about two days illness. He
was fond and indulgent husband and fa-
Their, and kind and accommodating neigh-
Dor. But few days ago he was in robust
health, full Of life and health. Truly may
we say, that in the midst of life we are in
death, and he with his sharpened sickle
follows so near that we know not when
he will cut US down, and we will be called
to pass within his darkened portals and
every fond link that binds us to earth be
cut asunder, 70 only ...
To-day we live, to-day we hope, .-
To-day we plan and strive; .-
To-day we live and joy,
To-day while we survive"
