In is charged 10y the .Ne,rS and 10y
some of Mr.. Rockers opponents, that
he denonced foreigners. This is trick
on the eve of the election To prejudice
the foreign voter. Mr.. Hooker has
spoken in high terms of the foreign cit
lien. He has said in his speeches that
he honOred the foreign-born citizen, and
referred TO the fact that they had eXum-
ed our hidden wealth in the form ofcoal
and minerals, they had built our rail
roads, fought our battles, shed lustrc
upon our professions, and last, but not
least, had been an honor 10 our Nation
al Congress. In fact il was for voting
for Hon. James B. Beck, foreign-born
citizen, for the L. :. Senate, that the
Ncrs - bitterly denounced Mr.. Hooker
Mr.. Hooker, 10y his vote and acts, has
proven himself a friend 10 the foreign
born citizen.

As an elegant hair dressing stands Par
ker's Hair Balsam, deservedly popular
for the beautiful hair it produces, and
its cleansing and healing properties.
Commencing at the roots, it promotes a
luxuraint growth of young hair, and I'M
failingly restores gray or faded hair to
the original youthful color, giving a soft,
rich and lustrous appearance of great
beauty. 1t is pleasantly cooling to the
scalp, cleanses it from Dandruff, cures
itching and humOIs, and stops falling of
the hair. 1t is perfectly harmless, ex-
quisitely perfumed, never soils the skin
or gums the hair, and pleases everybody
by its many excellent and attractive
qualities. n patron assures us he has
used II different hair preparations and
that Parker's Hair Balsam surpasses
them all. Sold in large bottles, at only
80 cts. and Sl.00, by u. Wayne Griffin
x Bro, and druggists generally.

Fair Play is Right.

We are in favor of fair play, and if
our party or our candidate fails to sue
coed in fair contest we say all right.
We will not attempt to win by any but
fair, honest means. There are a class
of politicians wire-workers, tricksters,
dishonest men, who, just on the eve Of
the election, start some kind of false re-
ports on the candidates of opposite par
ties-thinlling thereby to injure
them i'm the estimation of the voters,
and that the candidates thus assailed
will not learn of the falsehoods in time
TO clear them up before the election. We
find i'm the present canvass for the Leg
islature that the tongue of misrepre-
sentation has not been silent, but in
undertones its whispers are heard, and
i'm some remote sections of the county
reports i'm regard to Mr.. Rockers Legis-
lative record, perfectly inconsistent, UNI
reasonable and false, have been circu-
lated. In some localities it has been
circulated that Mr.. Hooker procured
the passage of IA stringent game law.
This is wholly false, and known to be
by all who know anything about it, as
the record shows that Mr.. Hooker had
Ohio county exempted from the pro-
visions of said law. In other sections
il is reported that he had enacted dog
law. This is also false, as the record
shows that Mr. Hooker had Ohio coun-
ty excluded from this law, and to-day
there is no dog law i'm existence in Ohio
county not in existence before he repre-
scented the county. He is also held re-
sponsible for the fish law, but the House
Journal shows that he voted against the
law. We do not blame those whodifler
with Mr.. Hooker in political principles
to oppose his election to the Legislature,
but il is mean, low-dOWn cowardly
meanness, to try to beat man by mis-
representing the facts or circulating
faisehoods Just before the election.

Strange Conduct Of VIM. House.

SPRING LICK, KY, July 2lst, 1879.
Editor Herald:
While Rev. James Burden was preach
ing to a congregation at Walnut Grove
church yesterday, the sSriek of women
and children We're heard at three dwell
ings near the church. This caused a
confusion in the church, and everybody
went out to ascertain the cause of the
alarm. When ali had gotten out the
women and children who had caused
such stampede by their cries came up
and stated that they had been driven
from their homes by Bill House, who
had threatened their lives if they didn't
leave Immediately. About this time all
ewes were turned to man crossing a
field coming in the direction of the
church, who proved to be Bill House.
He had small, bushy limb stuck in
his hat and a double barreled shot gun
on his shoulder. Hepassed through the
church yard declaring that he intended
to kill two or three men in that neigh
hood before the sun went down; and
when he had gotten about one hundred
and fifty yards from the church he dis
charged one barrel of his gun and went
on in his wrath. Some said he was in
sane, and some said he was not. His
strange conduct frightened all the
women and children at church to such
an extent that they all went home,
which broke up the meeting. As. j. II.
Williams and Rev. Mr.. Burden We're
returningtO their homes from church a
gun was fired close behind them. On
looking around they beheld House
swearing vengeanceag against them. Hav-
ing nothing with which to defend
themselves, they proceeded in post
chaise to Williams house, where Will
liams prepared himself and started to
meet House, but his family gathered
around him and dissuaded him from
going. Esquire William Lewis, ON
being informed of this strange conduct
issued writ for his arrest, but up to
this morning House hadn't been arrest
ed. 1t is supposed that he is hid in the
brush. G..

More Rockport Racket.
ROCKPORT, Ky, July l3i 1873

ROCKPoRT, KY, July IL; 1879.
Editor Herald:
Nv communication of June 81, | am
sorry to say, has somewhat irritated the
feelings of some of the citizens of OuI
little village, and regret it eXceedingly,
yet feel highly flattered to think that
the authorship has been charged to one
so much my superior as Professor
Harper, and feel it my duty to say that
he was not aware of its existence until
after its publication. l will also say
that prior to the writing of the ''ROck-
port Racket | was hardly acquainted
with Prof Harper, and had never had
minutes conversation with him in
my life.
The candidates speaking was opened
by Mr.. VIM. Coleman, who delivered
quite an able address, which was fol-
lowed by Meador. Bennett and Hooker.
Mr.. Meador, though a very able speak
err, is too fond ofreviving old prejudices,
and did not take very well with the old
''residenters' of this precinct. The
RAIDS seem to be very much disappoint-
ed i'm their man, and l think he will
stand very poor chance in this part OF
the county. / think, he showed eX-
IRENE good sense in refusing to read
l.. Il. Cox's bringing letter'to the Nelcs,
which was handed to him by one of his
bowers, while he was speaking. The
reading of the letter was called for sew
eral times, but it mo muchee come "
Mr.. Benefits speech was real genu-
inc, heightened, green-back speech.
Mr.. Rockers was one of the most able
speeches ever delivered in Rockport,
and was characterized throughout with
love for his fellow man. The idea of
his denominating foreigners as the
"scum of the EARTH" rs set forth by the
Ne,cs, is ridiculous, and inconsistent
with his conscientious scruples. Any
one who knows Mr.. Hooker knows that
he would not do such a thing, as long as
there is an American-bom Republican
editor to be found in Ohio county.
The Fourth of July picnic at this
place was bursted by a regular old hide
soaker, which fell about $50 p. Nj.

KY, per tug Rockport Corrine, panned

JULY 18th, 1879.
Editor Herald.
Politically the race in this district is
between Hooker and Meador. Bennett
will get only u scattering vote, in fact
do not know of any one who will vote
for him. The Greenback vote here has
been chiefly from the Republican ranks,
now they have gone back To the mire
and wallow and will vote for Meador,
so look out, Greenback Democrats, do
not be deceived. Bennett will he the
man until the day of the election, then
the Republican element of the party
will go over to MeadOr. Heed this, for
that is the game that will be played in
this precinct. Hooker will get hand
some majority here as the Democrats
are i'm earnest, as all lovers of liberty
and free elections should be.
