the country has been visited with num-
her of very hard and damaging rains
within the last few days. on Friday
night. saturday morning and night, and
at intervals all day Sunday, heavy show
crs of rain Tell. In the bottoms every
thing is under water. Freshly cut wheat
has been injured some. butte what en-
ten, it is impossible to tell just yet,
Many farmers complain that 1t is sprout-
ing badly. The tobacco crop is also SUI
iering. and il is feared will be seriously
| injured. The wet weather has caused 1t
TO french badly. and unless the wealth
er clears oil in order to give growers
chance To top it. great deal will not be
worth gathering. The corn crop looks
exceedingly well, but in many instances
needs working very bad, which it Is inn |
possible TO DO such weather as this. New |
hay l. also in bad way. and much of II
will doubtless be spelled
VIENNA
is not improving much this year. In
deed i, was the hope and expectation oil
our people. that when the Cairo y VIM
cennes railroad was completed. the town
would take start and never stop grow
ing. Vain hope. About the only thing
the town or county has gained by the
building of the Cairo & Nincennes road
has been to saddle debt of 100000 on
the people, TO pay the interest OH which
the people are taxed TO DEATH This
; is the cry of the respondent. But why be
discouraged; That the road is not doing
; Us much good just now is true: but ii
will do Us good after awhile. 1t takes
l time to get great undertaking like the
: building any equipping of railroad like
, the Cairo Il Vincennes road in good
: running order. But the c. Il V. is COM
ing out 1t will be a great road aiter

THE COURT HOUSE AGAIN.
Mr.. Chas. Ham, one of the contractors
% to build the Vienna court house. has
@ brought suit against Mai. \. J. kuyken-
e dali TO recover the sum of 5000. which
c he llIam) claims rs his share of the
:, profits growing out of the contract, but
c which he never got, Ii seems that Ham
: and Squire |. y. Pcarcc took the con.
t, tract TO build the court house. After do.
If ing small amount of work. Ham Went
). away, took contract on the c. Il '
l. road, if | am correctly informed. and
l. was gone for Il year, or perhaps two oil
p three years. Mai. kuykcndall and
n Squire Pcarce made contract, or per
L. haps, under the original contract o.
II Pearcc and Ham, entered into an ar
T. rangement with n. l.. Wickwire to com
Of plete the work. Wickwirc built til,
g court house. and now Ham wants part
Of OF the profits growing out of il. Wheth
III er he will get ii or not, or whether he i,
10 entitled to it, is more than | am able Il
4. decide. The courts will settle that ques
of ton.
4. GOT THERE AGAIN.
i. Ournew county board OF Supervisors
:, organized to-day. The old ring. of which
:, Jack Kuykendall, Bill Looney, Norvc
n Damron and eX-sheriff Gray are the
leaders. had no hand in liking up
this board. The old ring is as dead a.
, -, and can't be resurrected. They
have run the county till they have near
Z .,,.,.. r,.,n.n II, and now the people pro-
:, pose to run it awhile. Hugh Higgins
:, one of the old investigating committee,
- who gave Gray and the ring so much
. trouble last Fall, was elected chairman OF
the Board; and Bill Suit and Josh
4 West. the other members of the same in
vcstigating committee, were each placed
l. at the head ofimportant commlttees-Suit
on the committee on finances and West
on the committee on equalization.
Messrs. Thacker, Helm and kerlcy, the
other members who are opposed TO the
ring, were in attendance, and each as
. signed to some important position. There
y are nine members of the board-threc
= ring, and six anti-ring. Politics does
not enter into the management of county
affairs here.
HAD HIS TRIAL.
u DAVIS, the man who stabbed Virgil
u Brock, at Forman on Saturday, July 3D.,
: had preliminary hearing before Justice
: of the Peace Buyt to-day, and was held
. to ball in the sum of 81 800 for his APP
\ pearancc at the next term Of the circuit
: court. lie could not give the required
Il bond and was sent to Jail. Brock is still
q alive, but it is impossible for him to re-
# cover. | am told by Col. Miller, OF
O. Forman, that Squire Davidson, of that
= place, received letter day or two ago
= from the sherifi'of Shelby county, Indiana,
c inquiring for Davis, and stating that he
n is wanted there for the murder of lis
mother-in-law. Davis is hard man
o and deserves hanging as much as any
C man in the world.
