MELVILLE, KY, April 20, 1877.

After having changed my residence and
moving West, as Greeley advised, have
cast my anchor for the present at New
vile, nice little village situated at the
junction of three counties-Daviess. Nc
Lean aud Ohio. So YOU will observe that
we are representative people, as we have
votes TO give away in each county. New
vile is noted for sobriety, as it is certainly
prohibition town. The good citizens of
this thrifty little burg went into an obi
cation when the place was first settled. TO
the effect that none owning land in the
village, or those who have farms adioin-I
ing, could not make or convey deed for
any land sold to any party or parties with
out placing this restriction in the deed
viz: mo one shall give or make A deed
unless it shall be therein stated that no
spurious or malt liquors shall be sold or
manufactured thereon; neither shall any
person establish thereon liquor store
beer saloon or anything pertaining to the
complete destruction Of all that sLould
characterize good society, q moral cons
munity and religious neichborbood "

gentlemen: Gordon Robson, John &

ment Of agreement is matter Of record
IN Davies county. Then we have. as all |
must admit a nice little town, where Ia
dies can with impunity visit, make their
purchases without fear OF hearing. os Is |
too frequently the case, obscene language

the mornings Pota;ions.
Our neiGhborinc town, Bufori. had an

that the bride and groom were looking
their best, and the table was spread with
all the dslicacics Of the season. The as

Fragments Of the Early History of Ohio
county is now being brought out through
the columns Of the HERALD. Mr.. II. D
Taylor is an able writer, dealing not in
romantic ideas and flimsy fiction, but in
genuine realities and hardships, experts

men, who left their sunny homes and all
of the endearlng scenes of child and man
hood days, and took the hand Of the
mother and sister perchauce for the last
time and pressed it with that parental
grasp, and then TO the dark and bloody |
ground of Kentucky, where the aborie,
inese met in deadly conflict and the |
avowed foe Of the pale faces. Such an
article, written by an old citizen of our
own county, and a gentleman Of much |
ability withal, should most assuredly give
n wide and extensive circulation to the |
HERALD, which it is deserve !ly entitled |
to, as it is really worth the price asked |
