COLESBURG, HARDIN COUNT
KENTUCKY. "A

EprroR Thinning a line from \
Kentucky would be appreciated By
some OF your readers, there being
many from this state and some from !
our county, living ia and around
Mexico, We will give you few
lines only this time. Our community
as a general thing is improving, times
getting better, and farmers are trying
to make a living; crops look wen, !.
The wheat crop is very fine corn is
a little late, but by steady work and
good sea seasons olls it win come in, in time.
Grass is the main stake immediately
in our neighborhood: it too is very
ane this season. Colesburg is a live
liy little town, ON the L. & L. r. r..
We have two stores, m drug. store,
two bar rooms, two hotels, two black
smith shops and a good saw mills all
doing q living business. The town Is.
impxoving some all the time seyeraf
houses under contract; we have all
good brick churches and a school.
Mr.. Jerry Taylor, recently of your
county has located among us and is
introducing the BATES Gang Plow"
a subsoiler. We are convinced this
is the pillow and will do good work.
Nh. Taylor tells us he viii close the
sale OF one-half of undivided half Of
this state for the sale of the above
pillow at an early day. a.
The political pot has begun to boil
several candidates for the Legisla-
ture and Senate mixing with the dear
people, and we look for a red hot
time by the first Monday in August,
Weddings are still in rage. DR..
West and Miss Strange were married
in our 'Sburg'.' one day last week.
Another talked of soon.
The fruit crop is tolerable good.
Peaches will be scarce, Apples and
pears were never better. The straw
berry crop is about all shipped and
has hsssa'savy, selling from SO cents
NJ ., In gallon.

and thentoo, the representation of the
moon, glistening on the river, was all
but perfect, and so natural. i,s
