BUFORD, KY, May 18th, 1876.
Editor HeruH News scarce, farm
ers busy, merchants chatting, and the
goose hangs high, with considerable talk
by the knowing ones, as to who will be
our Shelf, but | am of the opinion
that MIR. Phillips has as well be filling
his bond now, as he seems to be the at
traction from all quarters Of the coun-
ty at this time. Mr.. Phillips is identi-
fed with the Democratic party and is
willing to minister to its wants, hence
all true democrats will give him their
individual support in this contest, from
the fact that this is not the year for US
to let party prejudices, and other isms
of minor import split or divide us.
Changers are not bound to support any
one, simply because he is a granger
far from it. We should rather take
into consideration the political status
of the aspirant, as We are ON the mar
gin of the presidential campaign, which
should certainly stimulate every patriot
to do his whole duty, and in cOmmem-
Grafton OfOne hundred years ago, place
in the chair at Washington a man,
rather than a political nuisance. We
are oppressed in many ways, and it
will continue thus if we do not make
a change in the political arena at head
quarters. Men aim to ride into Office
on the shoulders Of grangers, this is
only for political preferment, nothing
more. Then the only legitimate way
for us to pursue is by practical illus
tratiOn of what We pretend to be theo-
retically. We are convinced that the
Republican party is on the alert and
will useevery exertiOn to carry theeoun-
ty ON granger principals, hence it will be
known as a Radical victory and never
a granger vitOry. Democrats should
go to the primary election and vote
when you are there, as this is not the
year for fOOlishness-then all-hands to
the wheel, and give Phillips a modest
turn, and l am almost in the notion to
say he will out run himself. Then
three cheers for Phillipsl
The Bachelors and Maids assOcia-
ton will assemble, if the Lord is will
ling, the third Sabbath in June, all
who are identified with this move, and
willing TO be known as such will put
in their appearance ON that day, as
the fate of many will be decided on
that occasion.
Protein appointments, Mr.. E. L. S.
President, Miss A. B., c. HI. and d.
F., committee on reception. After a
permanent organization the rules and
regulations will be so altered or amend
ed that it will meet the appreciation |
of all, Mr.. ID. r. was appointed Sec
rotary by the. president, who waived
the right of parliamentary jurispru-
dence. Mr.. X. is good looking, and
will keep a. fair and impartial record |
of the proceedings.
The HERALD is a favorite here, and |
growing more popular every issue
will send the money for it myself next
week.
Messrs. HolbroOk & Field are both
gentlemen, and are push
ing a lively trade in the mercantile
line.
A. p. Barnard, our tobaccOnist, is
at present hunting up the weed at
Beaver Dam. He made q very heavy
purchase here, (Buford, and p; ties
familiar with tobacco say that his Sc
lectiOns are fine.
No sickness here. But for pretty Ia
dies, and fast horses, we will compare
very favOrably with our neighbOring
town Hartford.
Miss Josie Landrum, of CalhOon,
and the Misses Hardwick, of Hartford, /
have paid BufOrd a visit, and the young
people regret very much that their
stay was not prolonged, especially the
gentlemen.) We wish them bright
and happy future, and would be pleas
ed to have them visit us frequently.
For fear We may intrude, we will de-
sisk MoDoC.
