"INGERsoI.L, or man and his rela-
tons" was the subject Of "A lecture at
the Methodist church on last Wednes-
day evening, by Prof w. &. Parker, of
Louisville. The audience was not as
large as ii should have been, owing to a
family reception i'm town, which took
away a number of families who always
attend such entertainments as lectures.
Mr.. Parker is good declaimer, has a
fine command of language, and seemed
well at home on the rostrum. His sub
ject was calculated to attract special in
terest just now, since the name of In
gersoll is so conspicuous before the pub
lie. There is, perhaps, no man so COM
monty Inexperienced and misrepre-
scented before the public, as Ingersoll !;
we had hoped that Prof. Parker would
give his audience correct analysis of
his views, and then show wherein he
was i'm error; but we were disappointed
i'm this. The lecturer stated in the out
set that Mr.. Ingersoll ridiculed the idea
of God, but did not tell where or when.
This is a common way Of doing things,
however, but a very unfair one. No
man can show i'm any book or lecture
that the distinguished lecturer ever
gave TO the public, where he ridiculed
the idea of God. He has ridiculed the
notion the ancients held regarding
the deity, but never the idea per Sc.
We regret that more of our citizens
were not at the lecture. Mr.. Parker is
a candid believer in the Christian faith;
and ii is but proper that all church peo-
pie should support him in his efforts to
combat the spirit of unbelief Then
again, he is all the more entitled to the
sympathy of the public, as he lost his
sight when young man. If there is
one misfortune more calculated to
awaken deep sympathy than another,
the loss of the sight is surely the great
est. We bespeak for Mr.. Parker, a
hearty reception where ever he may go.

was public dance at the hall in which
members of both classes and many of

"Ou Jockey"

Monday was County Court day and
Jockey square is one chief part Of Coun-
ty Court. a crowd, more or less, gather
on the vacant lot back of Fields
stable, ucar the saw mill and drink,
curse and banter. of all old plugs"
in the county a goodly number are on
jockey every court, or other public day,
and woe he unto that horse that is once
found upon that fatal lot. Better for
that horse that mill stone were hanged
about his neck and he were east into
the sea. a horse that thinks anything
of himself or his reputation for respcc-
liability would never put in an appear
ance on jockey. We took stroll in
that quarter last week and we tried to
take notes but our heart and pen failed
us. We collapsed i'm the effort. We
first tried "A gray steed; he was Il years
old, had two foreteeth gone, one eye
had exploded and the other was in IA
dilapidated condition needed going to
the shop for repairs. There We're 50
many burrs in his name that We could
not tell what kind or color it was. His
tail was slightly disfigured in the same
way, The joints were disproportioned
by many hard rides and heavy tugs i'm
the mud. The saddle, which had rope
cords for stirrup feathers, and one iron
and one wooden stirrup, WAS occupied
by a tall, lean man about b years old
and the tall, lean man was occupied
by pint and Il half of kill-dee, or kill
somebody else, whisky. But he was
ION jockey" 50 what cared he if his
feet were clad i'm the remains of last
winters boots. He "wanted to swop
hosses with some d--n,man," and if
he could find another man i'm town of
the same notion, he certainly could have
filled his part of the contract. Ii was
indeed II close contest between the tall,
lean man and the kill-dee whisky, as to
which should be master of ceremonies.
Time and patience would fail us To re-
produce the language of that jockey
square and were we TO give it, the pa
thence and good will of the reader would
I've forever lost, and rs these are both
weighty considerations with US, We for
bear. Suffice ii is to say that the vo-
cabulary of obscenity and profanity and
slang is soon exhausted and all the
braggarts and bullies of the surround
ing country may be found on jockey
and few genteel citizens. We say the
latter to appease the wrath of those
who read this and who at the same
time attend jockey. We hope that each
one who reads this will include him
self i'm the "genteel list" as every one
will doubtless belong in that list accord
ing to his own fancy.
But we will say in conclusion that all
such caught on jockey are in a hard
crowd and among number who COM
bine to constitute one of the nuisances
in this locality on public days.

FARMERS ATTENTION!
Only .-!a.h instead d One Eighth Toll
AT THE
HARTFORD WATER MILL

On and after the 18th day of Novem-
Der, 1879, until further notice, We will
grind wheat for ORe-teIath toll instead of
one-eighth. We will grind nine bushels
and take the tenth, instead Of
grinding seven bushels and TAX
ing the eighth for toll, thus you save
about two pounds of wheat on every
bushel by carrying your grain to the
Water Mill. Do not be afraid of a
crowd. We can grind Is bushels an
hour, equal to 800 bushels in day and
night, and we never have this much ON
any single day to grind.
Our Mill is i'm fine repair, and we are
prepared to grind by water or steam.
So do not be afraid of high or low
water, but come with the assurance of
getting your grinding done on time to
return home the same day. We have
secured the services of first class mill
Ter for grinding corn, and have ample
room for all that may come to see u.s.
We will pay Sf.O0 per bushel for No.
| wheat, and less, according to grade.
Mr.. A. ID. White, the well-known and
experienced Miller bosses the grinding
of our wheat. Patronage solicited

LET Up ON THE LIVER.

Mr.. Editor, tits wonder that so
many men and women escape the eff
fleets of tampering with their lives.
Mankind seems to have gone crazy on
the subject of the liver, and every little
popping-jay is thrusting out something
Nf0r the liver" The stomach is cram
med full of SIENNA and SIGH, called liver
medicines. What on earth Is the mat
ter with the liver all at once? Why, a
few years ago some people didn't know
they had liver, and now they can al
most tell which side tits on. Who says
the liver is at fault when your head
aches, or when you are dyspeptic, or
constipatel? I don't believe a word of
it. The bowels must be opened before
the bile can possibly get out, and that
is all that is necessary. Let your liver
alone, there is nothing the matter with
it. Now let me tell you an infallible
remedy for all such conditions. Take
II few doses of Bailey's Saline Aperient,
it will open your bowels, unlock the
liver and cleanse the stomach.
