Editor Herald:
As l have seen no communications
in your paper from this immediate vi
cinity Cor backwOods, as some people
call it, } | will endeavor, in my feeble
and awkward manner, to write some
thing-to be represented in the HART
FORD HERALD, if nothing else.
As for news of Importance and in
terest, | have none that would attract
the attention of your readers in the
least, more than let them know we are
not as much backwoodsmen as we have
always been represented. The HER
AID is read by nearly every person in
the neighborhoOd, besides several other
papers that are taken by the old men
to keep up with the political issues of
the day. And there is that famous
and noted Central Grove school-house,
where so many of the young men and
women first learned their A BIC. They
can call back to memory the days that
are past and gone-Of the happy mo-
ments they have spent together at that
place, and it will ever be engraved up
on the tablet of our memory, of the
time when that honorable and estima-
ble gentleman, r. P. Hooker closed
his school there five or six years ago.
Enough ON that.
Wheat looks fine and promises an
abundant yield. Corn is doing very
well and would grow fast if the insects
would let it alone. Oats, early sowing
looks tolerably well 4; late, not so we'll.
Tobacco plants are scarce and not very
large. There viii not be much set till
late. Several are planting their tobac-
co ground in corn. The farmers are
being bothered now about blowing, on
account Of their horses having the dis
temper.

ence Brown, of the Shultz neighbor-

This gentleman is announced in fhi,
issue of OR paper as candidate tor
Congfcss from this district. Mr.. Ne.
hcnzic Is probably unknown to a great
many of our readers, and hence we
think ii proper and right TO give them
short statement of his public service
and political life. Mr.. Mckenzie was
born and reared and has always lived
in Christian county. lie is about 81
wears old, and was elected TO represent
his county in the Legislature when but
- wears old, and was subsequently re-
elected; and during the four years
service in this position he won for HIM
self quite an enviable position as a
legislator and an able debater. When
the 18th Amendment was adopted it
gave his county in TO Republican keep
ing by large majority; but in 1871
his party called on him to make the
race for Senate in the district composed
of Christian and Muhlcnburg, and al
though defeat was certain, he accepted
the call and made a gallant fight, and
reduced the majority considerably, and
succeeded in carrying Muhlenhurg
county, which was otherwise lost to the
Democrats at the same time. In 1872
he was selected as one of the Presiden-
tial electors Of the state at large and
canvassed about forty counties.
In 1875 he was unanimously nomi-
mated by the Democrats of his county
as a candidate for county Representa-
tive, and after repeatedly declining,
and the nomination being repeatedly
renewed, he finally accepted and made
a gallant fight and succeeded in reduc-
ing the Republican majority from 500
10 less than 80. When he first an
nounced himself as a candidate for
Congress, he had opposition in the per-
son of Hon. j. 2. Campbell of his
own county. They agreed to leave it
TO the Democrats of their county to
say which one should make the race,
and the retult was almost a unanimous
choice for Mr.. Mckenzie.
He comes now before the Democrats |
of the district with this endorsement of
his own people, and asks a fair consid-
Grafton of his claims for the nOmina-
ton for Congress. He has undoubt-
edly made many sacrifices in behalf of
the Democratic party, with but little
reward and if Democrats can con-
veniently give him their support, he
will no doubt appreciate it properly. |
He is a brilliant young man, always
Democrat, and one deserving well of
his fellowmen, and would make an ex-
ceflent representative.

AWAY down on the classic banks of
Rough river among the vine clad hills
of old Kentucky stands little town,
around which, to us, cluster memories
of many happy hours, and though
absent many years, We can never for
get old Hartford,' our native home.
Each week brings to our desk that
bright, spicy little paper, "The Hart
ford Herald, and until that is read
through, all others are left unopened.
We endorse its politics, We read the
able editorials, the interesting and
oftimes witty locals, and, above all, we
admire the neat, tasty and beautiful
appearance of the paper, and our I'M
biased opinion is that it is far superior
to many of our Illinois papers publish
ed in towns of three time the size of
Hartford. The people of Hartford
should not only feel proud of the pa
per but should giveita warm and hearty
support. Mr.. John P. Barrett, an
able writer, and genial, good-natured
gentleman, is its editor, and we wish
him unbounded success. If we can
help you at any time, Bro. Barrett,
draw on us.-Lincoln (W) Times.
Thanks, thanks, brother Nall; our
heart is too full to say more.

A number of boys attached to the New =
ton Boys Grammar School, at Forty-eighth
and Darby Road, West Philadelphia, con-
ceived the idea that it would be highly ro-
mantle to carry pistols to school with them
and bought several revolvers and armed
themselves to the teeth. This was dis
covered last week, and on Thursday one
Of the youths, named Kent, was display
ing his prize to another schoolmate named
McGregor, when the weapon exploded and
shot the latter in the leg. The ball had
not been extracted at the latest accounts,
and the boy was suffering at the univer-
sity Hospital. The directors of the school
of which Commissioner of City Property
Dixev is chairman, have issued an order
expelling all the boys who are found with
pistols in their possession. Parents should
take warning from the casualty above
referred to.

Burglars Driven off by Girl.
On the same night that the house of NJ.
A, Parkison was shot into and robbed a
band of four or five negroes went to the
residence of Mr.. F. Schweiren, in Lower
Aiken, and attempted to force an entrance
by means of breaking down the front door.
Mr.. Schweiren was absent at the time, and
there was no one in the house save his
wife and daughter. Mrs. schweiren very
thoughtfully blew out the light, and Miss
Fannie. her daughter, picked up musket
loaded with buckshot and placing herself
near the door, she threatened to shoot the
first person who attempted to enter. They
then left the premises, and in less than
two hours the house of Mr.. Parkison was
attacked by probably the same gang
