A GRANGER TRIUMPH PREDICTED,


GRANGER TRIUMPH PREDICTED.
Since the nomination of Lev. Green,
Esq, by the Farmers and Changers Con-
vention for the Legislature, some of the
Democrats of the county have and are
manifesting a wonderful eagerness TO se~
lect candidate to defeat Mr. Green at
the August election. Mr. Green is him
self firm and staunch Democrat, and
can show as good Democratic record as
any man in the county, but the manner
in which he was brought out, and the
fact that he is farmers and Changers
candidate, has created some dissatisfaction
among those who repudiate the idea o: the
Changers becoming a political organiza-
ton. The writer's opinion, based upon
the general expression Of the people in
this portion OF the county, is that Mr..
Green will be our next representative in
the next Legislature of Kentucky. The
farmers in this county constitute the great
number Of voters, and the impression has
been disseminated throughout the county
that those who disfavor NJ. Green's cleo
ton are political tricksters and ring man.
ayers.
DR. BRANDoN's PROSPECTS.
Last Saturday there was a grand bar
becue in the Haynes precinct, and it had
been rihored that our genial friend, Dr.
R. NJ. Brandon, would on that occasion
announce himself a candidate for legisla-
tive honors. We know he has been ear
nestly solicited TO become candidate,
and in the event he does, we opine he
will make things pretty lively before the
election is over The Doctor is exceed
ingly popular in this county, and but for
his hardness in coming out before the
people, We could bespeak for him brilliant
prospects for election. But it is our
opinion, as before stated, the decree has
gone forth, and Mr.. Green's election is a
foregone conclusion.
LITTLE DAMAGE TO WHEAT AND OATS.
1t is gratifying for us to report now
that we have had no rain for several days,
in consequence of which the farmers,
pretty generally, are getting their cereal
crops in such a condition as not to be
damaged by the future rains. The dam
age already done TO wheat and oats is not
so extensive as was believed few days
ago.
LOSSES ON TAN-BARK.
Parties engaged in the tan-bark BUSH
ness are sustaining heavy losses on their
shipments in the last few days A great
er portion of the bark now in the woods
is damaged so badly as not to be worth
shipping. A car load was shipped from
this place last week to Louisville, and a
notice was received by the shipper that
said bark was unfit for use, and the agent
at Louisville was informed by the party
F to whom it was shipped that the freight
would not be paid on it. 1t is estimated
that the shipper will loose on the car
load about seventy-two dollars.
!. ANOTHER HoRsE-RAcE ON THE TAPIs.
There will be another horse-race next
Saturday. on the::Lacefeld track, between
Dick Fitzhugh' yellow mare and "Slip-
perry JIM" owned by Clay Stinson, for
one hundred dollars on side. The rep
utation these horses have for speed is
sufficient to attract large crowd to the
race. Fitzhugh's mare has been beaten
in every race he has made in the county.
His defeats, however, he alleges, have been
attributable to the reason that his mare
had not entirely recovered from a severe
, attack ola disease which she had previ-
GUS to the races.
