proposing to organize society, to be
known as the Anti Red Nose"
Society; the object of which, is mutual
protection against the attentions of all
young men, who carry Aat-bottles in
their side pockets, or whose breath Is
fragrant with aromaticS; or who are
under the necessity of chalking their
noses before going to church on Sun
day. This is no Temperance move
ment. 1t is only a modest expression
of taste and privilege-a word to the
wise is sufficient.
The observation-disclosures party met
in convention ON the 18th inst. and
nominated Mr.. James IL. Guffy for
the Legislature. Mr.. Gufy. the
nominee, is brother of Judge b. L.
ID. Guhy, and well qualified in every
respect to represent the interest of this
county, and EdmOndson in the next
general assembly. 1t now appears
that we will have three candidates for
the honor of representing us.
Mr.. JOab Jones, Democrat, jeff
Belcher,-Republican. Mr.. Jas IL.
Gufiy,-Greenbacker. So we will
have sort of three-cOrners-one-half
Diamond-canvass this time. They
are all good men, and all farmers. and
all doing we'll Their sense of duty is
very great, or they would not be
willing to sacrifice the quietude of
home, for the doubtful honOrs of a
short stay at the Capitol.
a letter was received this evening,
by the Rev. Mr.. Finley, of this rlace,
from Rev. DIR. Daggins, of Unionville
Tenn. Announcing the death of Rev.
George Jones, of Ohio County, Ky.
Uncle George was one of the oldest
preachers in the Methodist Protestant
church, having attended every annual
Conference since its organization,
except one. He had reached the
mature age, of SO years. But his
days are numbered-his work dome
his reward sure. We knew him well.
We loved him much.
Mr.. NJ. l.. Ward, one of our coming
young men of Butler, was retained, as
counsel in the case of the u. ;.
Government vs., the Burns Bros
charged with violations of the whiskey
laws. He will conduct the defense.

of Madelia. Minnesota. l. visiting the
home, and friends, of his childhood,
in this county. Mr.. Hampton was
born in the ''Big Bend of Green
River, in July, 1913. In July, 1852.
when he was just nine years old, his
father, and two brothers, died of
cholera. a few months afterward his
mother died, after which, he found a
home with mis- older sister, Miss II. a.
Read, as Miss Read had no children,
and as he Was her baby brother, he
soon became the object of the very
highest degree Of affection and tender
sOlicitude on the part of Mrs and Mr..
Read. No pains were spared in his
education, they soon found it necessary
to seek better educational facilities,
than this portion of Kentucky, offered
at that time. Mr.. Read being Il
minister of the Cumberland Presby-
terrain church, very naturally inhu-
enced him to attend College Of that
church. 1T that time, Waynesburg
College in Pennsylvania, was con-
sidered the best school under the di-
rection of that denomination, con-
sequenily he went TO Waynesburg
and graduated high up, in the class of
1866. While at College he prp.essed
religion. and rs matter in-course,
joined the G.. 7. church, and shortly
after was licensed to preach, and
assigned to do work rs a missionary ON
the out post of the church in the
Northern part of the State of Iowa.
In the mean time, lie bad married a
lady in Pennsylvania, who WAS also II
graduate of Waynesburg, and men,
Der of the same church as himself
After laboring for some two years at
his post in Iowa, his friends in Ken
lucky, were very much astonished to
learn that he had changed his church
relation. That Notwithstanding the
wise advise of Solomon, TO train q n
child in the way it should 60 &c, he
had actually severed his connection
with the e. ?. church, and joined the
Congregational, in which church he
has filled very important pulpits for
4 or 3 years, was pastor of one of their
churches in the city OF Minneapolis.
Now in the vigor of manhood, he
visits the scenes of early life, and by
the influence of his example, says to
the poor young men of Butler county,
take courage, be something, make
yourselves useful, wake up? so to
work, and be men. MYC.
