"A gentleman from Henderson, KY,
is in our county for the purpose of ex-
amining the clays with view to their
fitness for manufacturing tiles for I'M
foreground draining. We hope our
farmers will give the gentlemen pro-
posing the enterprise proper encourage
ment. Many acres of land now re-
garded AS of no value, may be brought
into profitable cultivation.
Rev. j. $. Coleman, ID. d., is here
engaged i'm successful revival of re-
ligion. Up to date, Is have been added
to the church, seven by letter, six by
experience; and the interest is still
good. Last Sabbath, one week ago, he
preached the dedication sermon for our
new church to Il crowded house. The
Baptist house of worship here is de-
cided ornament to the town, and the
good part of it is, that its payment is all
provided for. Yours,

Some towns of the size of Hartford
spend twenty, thirty, forty and some
times even fifty thousand dollars in
building various church edifices, thus
keeping alive to some extent sectarian
feelings. Hartford sets all such towns
a good example. We have one good
neat, comfortable church, open to Bap-
fist, Methodist, Presbyterians and all
evangelical denominations, and have
used our surplus money to build fine
school edifice, which is now near COM
pletion. 1t is Il magnificent structure
and will cost when completed and
equipped but little short of ten thousand
dollars.
Lindsey Woodward, son of Ash
ford Woodward, of this county, died at
his home in Oakland City, Ind, on
Nov. 18th. He was reared i'm this
county and lived here until since the
war. He was soldier i'm the Federal
army, and we believe, held the rank of
Colonel at one time. His wife was a
daughter of Rob't Barnett, ST., de-
ceased, and he had numerous list of
relatives in this county. He left wife
and four children, the latter are all
grown however, and all married except
one son. His second son is practicing
medicine at Union, Ind. 1t is rather
unusual for three cousins, each being
the eldest son of three brothers, to die
within the same month. Granville,
son of VIM. r., Ben G. son of Jas. H.,
and John L., son of Ashford Wood
ward all born in this county, and all
men of families. One died In Missou-
ri, one in Indiana, and one i'm Ken
lucky. The fathers, and we believe
also the mothers of all these are still
living.
The McHenry mines have been idle
for more than week past owing to the
failure of the pump. Owing to this ac-
cident to the pump over hundred men 4.
have been out of employment. Many
of them have families, and these all de-
pend upon their daily wages for subsis-
tence. This is one of the unfortunate fea-
lures incident to the miners and oper-
ative's life. When single bolt or rail
fail, the whole machinery stops.
BY this accident not less than S225 is
