EDITOR HERALD.-HOw true the
maxim, representation is the thief OF
time" Indeed this adage has been
verified by the experience of your cor
respondent at this place, who, jealous
of the growing popularity of hit
contemporaries, Correspondents to the
HERALD, vainly seeks for a suitable
object on which to display poetical
genius or prosaic skill. Alas! Tie
Miserable Snow" is gone, mo offense).
And the Miserable Mud" though
here in abundance, is too deep and
complicated for shallow mind to pen,
citrate. Hence, no poem, no biograph
ical sketch, but items from town and
county, will be the style of correspOn'
dence-
Then to begin with these, 1 first
take a glance at our town, it is under
going considerable change in the way
of improvement. Mr.. b. Shacklett
will move to his new residence in
time to patronize ]. w. Eaton's new
store which is about completed with a
Masonic Hall in the upper story
This done, our town can boast of two
stores, one tobacco factory, and one
blacksmith shop, all of which are in
prosperous condition, and promising
success in the future. But is none
the less fattering to take a minute
survey of the Rural District" Here
the busy farmer may be seen with
pillow and hoe preparing the soil for
the future crop. And as yet, he has
much to encourage him in his toll for
prospects are favorable. Wheat and
OTIS have seldom look better ut
this time of year, and tobacco plants
are beautiful. The fruit crop was
injured greatly by the late freeze
though the later varieties of fruit
have partially escaped.
Markets generally remain I'M
changed. Tobacco is nearly all sold,
and there are few sales except in the
matrimonial market from which to
quote. In this, quotations may be
made as follows:
Widowers active, going at 40, so
and SIS to suit buyers. Bachelors
slow sale and small profits. going at
80 and 80, without wigs, 38 and 40
with wigs.
But little is said in this section
about political affairs, but Centennials
are creating a sensation. Very good.
But why not have grand Centennial
Reform too? Why not begin this Re
form by paying up arrearages to Edi-
tors. Although it be a small sum
they may owe, such sums are indispen>
sable to the welfare of a class of men
who are doing much to promote the
general welfare of the nation.

The following is the way marriage
ceremony was performed in one of the

correspondent of the Flemingsburg
Rambler:
THE CEREMONY.
"Tom, do you take this female for
better or worse 7"
Certainly, square; cum pur-
pose," responded Tom.
"Delilah, do you take this man
and promise to stick to him through
thick and thin?
"You bet, old boss" answered Deli
lah, "d'ye spose I'd have these fixins
for ennything less'n a marridge?"
"Then l pronounce you man and
woman-no husband and wife, and
may the Lord have mercy on your
souls-Amen.
THE SUPPER.
The supper was excellent, consisting
in part of pancakes, maple 'lasses, gin
ger.bread, hominy, and venison.
A toast, "Bully for the BRIDE" was
drunk standing, and thirty-three Of the
crowd were drunk sitting.

GRAYsON COUNTY ITEMS.
News OF the County by Our Regu-
lar Correspondent.

Eli Harmed fourteen year old son
of the Rev. James Harmed of Mill
wood, has met with sad misfortune
in the complete loss of his reason. A
few days since he appeared TO enjoy
perfect health, but complained occas-
sionally of severe pain in his head.
Last Monday his parents noticed some
thing peculiarly strange in his actions,
but paid little attention to it until a
day or two afterwards when it became
too apparent that reason had entirely
fed her throne. The youth was an
intelligent bright boy, and no reason
can be assigned for his misfortune,
the disease not being hereditary. The
family have sympathy of the whole
community in their trouble.
Only one marriage license issued
from the the County Clerks office in
the last ten days. Ohio County is
beating Grayson all to pieces on the
Wedding question. Fly around

examination, which resulted in a YER
dict being given that death was caused
by "ScrofulOus disease of the bowels"
thus clearing the child's father in the
eyes of the law, but not in the eyes of
the community.
