MELVILLE. Ky. MAY 8. ISL.

Since my last communication, have
been on II short trip to Mclean county,
where notice the usual preparations for
farming All are in a pell>mell rush to
get through planting corn-regardless, it
seems, of rain or mud. Some think that
they will have an abundance Of tobacco
plants, while Others complain of the hy
But we must admit the fact that farmers
must have something to talk about each
planting season, in order TO give general
notoriety to their respective ideas and
views on husbandry.
We notice many calls for the Editor
OF the HERALD to become a candidate for
the legislature. and we are satisfied that
you are the gentleman for that position.
From the fact that Meado(r)ws are ready
to NOV in extremely warm weather. and
we would like to have one in the field
able and willing to bear il (BarretIl. We
are tolerable well acquainted through
this section ofthe county, and have heard
very many express themselves in your
favor We are not in favor of having a
Meado)r)w, when we can have as much
hay as we want at twenty-five cents per
cwt In fact, wehave no laundering after
grass any way
Your paper is rseefred throughout The en-
tire Green riper section in rtrV .tf1ttering and
complimentary terms, and Il only remains for
the citizens of Ohio county to make ii COM
plete success, or warrant lis dorm fall By not
pdtronizing Il as they should II is a HnLe
strange that so .fe,0 appreciate home instit1-
tons, iehils they are suer eager 70 support
any and erery h,inJug that is presented them
from distance The only way or avenue
of escape from many Inconvenience and
impositions practieed upon US by experts
and sharps, is to spend little of the
many dollars sent from home on home in
situations by taking your county paper.
BY so doing, you have the key as TO what
is going on in other portions Of the world,
State, county and neighborhood II is
far better to have your county paper to
peruse on Sabbath morning. than to cit
on the muddy banks Of creek fishing at
twenty cents day, at the same time muse
ing over your misspent life, and saying to
the fish and birds, Thar il You had your
time to go over again, you'd take paper
and have sdicatiOa too"
Business with our merchants seems on
the increase Mess. Crow 4 Son are sell
ling a full share Of the necessaries of life,
and. as they study to please all in point
of low price and courtesy, hence their sue
cess. They have in their employ Mr..
Charlie 2. Phillips, who, by the by. is a
jolly good boy, and the way he gets over
a banjo is mighty nice, which he never
fails to do, provided you make good
purchase ofhim.
Mr.. Z. L. Sullenger is still on the
track tor Tailor of Ohio county, and he
will make the county an efficient officer
il elected
Mr.. Thos B.. OF this section, says it's
no use to send any OF the many counter
ieiIers to the Penitentiary, because they
would not be satisfied three weeks.
Mrssrs Crow i Son arenow commenc
ing a large and oommodious s'ore-house
in MELVILLE, 22x40 feet, with all modern
Improvement That's business.
Fishing is said to be splendid just now;
as saw Charlie Ii. trying his luck in a
branch four feet wide, six inches keep
and forty yards long. He said he used to
fish on the .Sha,ldon. am not familiar
with that stream, hence will not attempt
TO locate it.
We noticed in your last issue a spicy
letter from the Horn. That's right We
must all toot our own horn. heard a
gentleman say, that when he visited the
Horn he did it very carefully. for fear be
would come out at the little end.
Iwant par of them are black kids at

Every person down this way seem to
think that low msrshy or MeaHo(r)w land
would not do. hence all are in favor Of
Hill land for tobacco. The "Little Hill"
tobacco, and Sam. Hill for the Senate.
That's our verdict. More anon.
