TO bestow upon communications in
duces the presenrecognition of an, Or
dinarily, unpleasant duty. Isay duty,
yet so far as youreaders are concerned,
this may prOcee&rom simple prom
Use.
1t is difficult fc correspondent to
repress an effort , describe the most
recent incidents and public demon
STATIONS he has witnessed, and this
difficulty is greay heightened when
such are of vast iterest to the whole
peOple,-but l ms. forego the pleas
IRE, and stop her, Or some reader
might unreasonably imagine that fel-
low from Grayson hal attended the
Louisville Democmti Convention.
But who cares? Certainly the occasion
was the grandest po.itial meeting ever
witnessed by Kentuckans and as it
was a convention of representative
men, the result couli AVE been moth
ing short of what it Ya,-the peoples
expression of sentiments which echo
from one end of our country to the
other,-an intelligent md patriotic en-
thusiasm in behalf of honest govern
ment, honest men md honest money.
But will not writeor politics.
If your town is IS much interested
in this as this is in il IN item now and
then will not rest lpfre unappreciate
eyes. We are called "Old Fogy" by
many, but none Of m care for that.
We know who and what we are. We
know that we are tie largest town,
but one, on the Ire of the L. P. &
s. W. r. R., and rot far from Louis
vile. We know that Grayson is al
ways among the first to pay in her rev.
enue tax. We kn-w that intelligence,
education and Industry characterize its
people. And here | must mention q
fact recognizable BY our whole county,
and that is that tn, present high stand
ard of educational interest here is al
most altogether due to the able and
indefatigable efforts Of your Prof. W.
b. Hayward. \ ve,y distinguished
gentleman remarked TO me, few days
ago, that Grayson- -wes Hayward n
debt of gratitude itcan never pay. 1
believe it is true. He has not a stu
dent of his good oldschoOls, who is not
justly proud of him. And by the way
it is proposed that on some day in the
near future to have q reunion of his old
pupils, with a programme embracing
oratiOns and good thirgs to eat. What
say you, young ladies and gentlemen !?
Respond through the clever columns
of the HARTFORD HERALD. How
would You like Litchfeld as the place,
and Saturday, first of July, the time ?
On that day the three hourishing Sun
day Schools of Litch6eh will have a
celebration, in honor of their institu-
ton and the centennial. In this cele-
bration the Prof. old patrons, students,
and children of some of the latter, will
figure extensively. 1t seems eminent
ly proper that the reunion, should there
be one, ought to take place at Litch-
field, at which place the Professor be-
gan his career as teacher. Then he
was young and vigorous, and chair
black as the ravens wing" l think l
express the wish of most of our citi-
zens when l say it is their desire that
Prof w. B. Hayward return to Litch-
field and teach during the remainder
of his days, which 1 hope may num-
Der many years.
1 have recently learned, with much
regret, that your favorite Wildwood cor
respondent has been engaged in several
melees, in which he came out second
best.
l should like to see your paper large.
ly circulated in GraysOn.
Tilden and Hendricks is the ticket
here.
Nothing new except the jingling sill
yer. WANTsoME.
