HENDERSON CoUNTY-NoTEs by THE
wAY.-we spent last week with the hos
pitable people of Henderson county, and
enjoyed the visit beyond measure. 1t is
4 noticeable fact that along the route to
Lexington, the farmers are working with
vim and energy which is bound to win
in the end. \ large amount of land,
which has not seen service for several
years, will be utilized this season. We
found the wheat crop not only large, but
in an excellent condition. In general
the planters are jubilant over the pros
poets, which brighten rs time advances.
The road between jackson and Lexing-
ton is in passable order, but there is room
for improvement in the Madison county
part of it.
We found business in Lexington quiet,
although several merchants have receiv-
ed their Spring goods. No time to be
lost, we were soon on the war path,
WING AND TRIBUNE in hand, and after
mixing with our friends couple of days,
retired from the field with 4 handsome
club OF subscribers, who wished to take
a voyage on the "Old Ship"
VIM. Threadgill, 4 most estimable young
man, has just returned from Florida,
where he had been for the benefit of his
health. The Lexington Reporter, under
the editorial direction OF Mr.. VIM. Nor
ris, is brim fall OIL good things, and is
rapidly riding into popular favor. A
mong other prominent gentlemen in the
county, we met our friend Col. John NJ
Taylor, who is prominently spoken of as
candidate for Congress in this district.
Col. Taylor is a man of sterling worth,
Incorporating honesty, and thorough
" competent to NIL the office, should he
consent to the use of his name in that
connection. His popularity throughout
the district is universally recognized,
and his friends are active in his behalf.

spices of BIaj- Jesse Taylor, and his ac-
cOmplished lady, Is in q fiOurishing con-

Our Court House Yard.


MEssRs. EDITORs: Some of the best
citizens agree that it is Il shame and a
disgrace that the courthouse yard should
be turned into a horse lot for the cOnye-
nience of the sheriff and his deputies
The first sight that greets stranger
visiting the proud capital of the grand
old county of Madison, is horse career
ing at full speed, head and tail erect,
around and around the court house, or
darting up to the fence with neck ex-
tended, and nostrils dilated, greets him
with a snort. Such scenes l should not
think would be calculated TO impress 4
stranger fayorably with our town. In
other places not the size OF jackson some
pride is shown in making the public
squares beautiful and attractive, where
the citizens can gather on the holidays
in delightful place erected at the COM
mon expense and maintained by the
commonwealth. Even Cesar, who I'm
derstood human nature well, recognized
the necessity of such things, and left by
will, to every Roman citizen and their
heirs forever, all his private walks and
arbors ION this side Tiber, - where they
might walk abeut and recreate them
selves-cOmmOn walks, common pleas
ures .and common joys. The public
square in jackson is nearly as large as
court square in Memphis, and with pro-
per fostering care could be made to rival
the beauty spot which lies like a rose in
the heart of our neighboring sister-city.
1 would, for one, like to see the city
by leave of the county court, take charge
of courtyard and convert it into a pub
lie park. As it is now, and now used,
it is a disgrace to a wealthy county and a
growing aspiring town, and if it cannot
be converted into a park, the county
court should at least forbid its being
used for a horse lot.
notice that several of the young trees
which are growing prettily have been
skinned and barked by the horses, and
and his deputies continue TO turn their
horses loose in the yard or allow Iirery
stable keepers to DO the same. 1t was only
the other night one livery stable-k keeper
turned his whole herd of horses loose in
the court house yard, and the citizens of
this community ought to know and put a
stop TO these things. l would suggest
that some of our public-spirited citizens
present this matter TO the county court
next Monday and see if they will not
provide remedy; and also to the board
OF Aldermen, and urge them to take
some action looking TO the conversion of
T this horse lot into pleasant park. d.

Dragging Ont Existence.

The nervous, weakly invalid does not
enjoy life, but merely ''drags out exist
ence,'' as the phrase is. United for the
active pursuits of life, and incapable of
partaking Gifts pleasures, to which health
alone can give a zest; disinclining to So
cial intercourse, and a prey to melan-
choly, the valetudinarian is indeed an
object of pity. Yet there is nothing in
all this that cannot be remedied by that
genial Alternative tonic and nervine, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which supplies
deficient stamina, braces the nervous sys-
TEN, and overcomes those bodily irregu-
larities to which nervous weakness is
most frequently attributable. Diseases
of the kidney or bladder, imperfect di-
gestion and uterine troubles are fertile
sources of debility. Their eradications
however, becomes a matter of certainty
when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are
Systematically used for that purpose.
The Bitters likewise annihilate and pre-
vent fever and ague and other debilita-
ting febrile complaints of malarial ma
ture.

THINGS GET A LITTLE MIxED.--In
Wales it is said the people have fewer
surnames than any other nationality ON
record. In view of this fact the manner
of distinguishing individuals is by Civ
ing an appropriate name to their resi-
dences or villas. Now it sometimes oc-
cuffs that Americans have the Welsh
trouble without the Welsh remedy, and
it is not unfrequently the case that two
persons bearing the same name are limo
