Editor Herald:
As it has been some time since we have
seen any communications from this place,
we hope you will give space for a few
lines from your humble servant, not that
we have anything very interesting to
write, but hope we will; we are waiting
for something to happen.
There seems to be a considerable gloom
over the citizens of our community, on
account Of the excessive rains we have
had recently. The bottom lands, espe-
cially, have been too wet to plow for some
time, and in addition to that we expect to
have them covered entirely with back
water from Rough creek. The creek is
rising very fast. Our farmers were an
ticipating good crop and making a
strong effort There has been large
amount of tobacco set out, considering
scarcity of plants. Business at this point
is as good as can be expected for the
times. Fun in abundance; croquet play
ing seems to be IN full blast, and our boys
and girls boast of being champion play
ers. One thing we notice, they never get
dead on one another's balls and are gem

of its being distressingly healthy. They
complain of the medical properties of our

Beautiful Pictures.

We have received from the Fine
Art Publishing House of Geo. Stinson
& Co., Portland, Maine, several pic
lures recently published by them. The
subjects, as works of high art, deserve
the highest praise. Stinson & Co.,
were among the pioneers in the Fine
Art publishing business in this coun-
try, and year by year their business
has grown, until at the present time it
has assumed colossal proportions.
A short time since they published a
chrome that had a run of over one
hundred and twenty-five thousand
copies. The weight of them unmount-
ed was over nine tons. In the select
ion Of subjects, Stinson & Co., show
correct judgment of the public taste,
which natural talent, aided by long
experience, alone can give. They
publish every description of fine works
of Art, from a cromo to a photograph
from a fine Crayon drawing to the
most elegant Steel Engraving.
They bring into service the skill of
the most talented artists.
They are also publishers of the Cen
tennial Record, which is a very large
illustrated paper, devoted to whatever
Is of interest connected with the One
Hundredth Birthday of the United

THE Clark County Democrat of last
week, contains an account of the death
of CAPTAIN Hubbard Taylor, at his
home in Winchester, KY, on Friday
the 9th inst. CAPTAIN Taylor was
eighty-seven years of age, at the time
of his death. He was a lawyer of
splendid abilities, and served with
distinction through the war of 1912,
holding the rank of Major, during its
continuance. As a citizen none stood
higher in the estimation of the COM
munity, and by his loss Kentucky
loses another of those noble old pio-
neers, who risked their all, to pave
the way to our present civilization.

Natures Remedial Agents.

1t is said that for every disease that eff
fects suffering humanity, nature has pro-
vided remedy, and all that man has to
do is to discover these remedial agents
and apply them to their appropriate all
ments, These are mostly found in the
vegetable kingdom. and root, banks, herbs,
grains, and other simple and harmless in
gradients are more effective than any of
the mineral poisons used so freely by
many physicians. The celebrated DIR.
RADCLIFFE, in the SEVEN SEALS OR GOLDEN
WONDER, has compounded a vegetable
remedy peculiarly adapted for a wide
range of diseases, combining as it does
the curative properties Of great number
OF the most effective roots, herbs and
barks. For pains and aches it has never
been equaled.

Messrs. Rowe and Jones for their with.

best men, young and old, in our town and
surrounding neigh borhoods, are being led
to drunkenness by that demon, King
Alcohol. Beware! young and old, how
you touch it. Every dram you take calls
for another; and we're it to get hold oa
you, nine times out of ten it will carry
you to yonr grave. If the people of our
town and surrounding neighborhood
would only invest the money they spend
for whisky in the erection of churches
and school houses, which are of vital inn

dren, it would make our country blissful
paradise, whereas it will bring US to ruin
if not stopped.

HARTFORD, June, 10, '76.
Editor Herald:
In your issue of June eth we noticed
a communication from Litchfeld, in
which honorable mention was made of
our much loved and popular teacher,
Prof w. b. Hayward. The writer
suggested a reunion of Prof. Hay
wards pupils, and suggested Litchfeld
as the place, and 1st of July as the
time. We heartily approve of the
suggestion to have n reunion of the
many pupils of Prof. Hayward, and
have no objection TO assembling at
Litchfeld, but we think the LIST of July
too soon, as due notice could not be
given in time. Prof Hayward has
had at least 5000 pupils in Kentucky,
who are scattered all over the state,
and not only this state, but all over
the union, and nothing like a full at
tendance could be secured by the 1st
of July. We suggest some time in
August, and call on Prof Hayward
to know if such a movement meets his
approval, and if so he can fix the time
himself, and it will suit us. We
feel that such a gathering would, in a
small way, show the high appreciation
we have always entertained for our
Professor, and would be a slight testi-
mOny TO one of the foremost and most
successful educators in Kentucky.
