Editor Herald:
Your correspondent has just return
ed from a short visit to Dixon, Web
ster county, and w0uld say, by way of
encouragement to all concerned, that
the crops in Mclean, Hopkins and
Webster are excellent. Went
through field of tobacco Of 90 acres
in Mclean county, and do not think
there were a dozen small plants in the
field.
Dixon is a small place, but the peo-
pie are energetic, and possess a large
share Of the old-fashioned Kentucky
kindness and prosperity. was pleas
ed with the people Of the country and
with my short stay with them.
While | was in Dixon quite a sensa-
ton was created by little romance,
which will give your readers:
Mr.. L Jones, who keeps the Jones
House," there, has q most beautiful and
charming daughter, who entered up
on a contract with the County Attor-
ney, +. Nj. Baker, to quit single life
and march out on the smooth waters
Of married life. The parents Of the
young lady objected, it became neces-
sary that they should fee in order to
carry out their contract, and the fond
desire of both. One night last week,
while Mr.. Jones was absent at Evans
VILE, the devoted couple made their
escape, and, in company with three or
four young gentlemen aud ladies, sped
for Illinois. Mrs. Jones, finding that
they were gone, got a pistol, mounted
a horse, and soon overlook them, and
drawing her pistol on them, told them
10 return toDiXon or die. Not having
thought much Of the latter, they re
turned TO Dixon IN charge of the old
lady, who has shown herself brave and
unhiuching in her devotion 10 her
daughter. ! have but this comment

have not had the time TO bestow upon

have liked, meanwhile, the evil has

too busy with Steiubarger and the Sa-

and Crooked Whiskey, too busy with
post-trader ships and tomb stone con-
tracts for the dead soldiers of the war,
too busy legisiating in the interest Of

the uneasy stomach with a degree Of
promptitude most gratifying to the victim

among which may be mentioned as the
most prominent, heartburn, tlatulence,

ana nausea. Hestetter's Btters tone and
regulate the various organs which assist
in the processes of assimilation. secretion

feebled system fresh stores Of vitality. 10
efficacy, as in popularity, they surpass any

The pleasant Valley Road.
This really necessary public measure
appears to meet with obstacles at every
turn and instead of being an established
fact it seems to be as yet an expert
ment, and unless the board OF highway
commissioners exercises its functions with
out further delay the road will never be
| finished 1t was thought that all objection
had been removed and that the road was
likely to be finished without delay but on
Saturday, when the commissioners went
out to make an inspection they found that
the Hunt heirs had not complied with the
provisions of the law and were obliged tt
| pub down the fence so as to complete the
road to Tollner's. The Hunt heirs were
the first to oppose this measure, and II
fact it has met with opposition every
| where, but finally public opinion was SC
strong that the commissioners were forced
to build it whether they wanted to or not
To encourage the project and tighten the
expense, Hon. Bailey Davenport, and )

portion of land through which the roac
passes and the latter even guaranteed t
