It seems from the tone Of Mr..
Wanderers letter in your last issue
that your correspondent from this
place would have column Of news to
write, but not SO, for every thing is
dull here, except politics and barbe-
cue or moon light picnic once in q
while.
The barbecue at this place on the
18th was success, the managers and
cooks deserve great credit, for it was
the first one that we ever had the
pleasure Of going to, that the meats
were thoroughly cooked. The speaking
by the candidates was also good, and
every thing passed off satisfactorily.
We had the pleasure Of hearing
Hiram display his eloquence, his
speech was very good but we do not
think 1t gained him many votes, for
nearly all the people in and around
this place are Democrats. We have
no voice in the election we cannot
vote ii we would, and would not if we
could.
Clerk and Sheriff is nothing COM
pared to the election Of constable in
this district; it must be a paying
office for it seems that every body
wants it. -
Mr.. George Holins. will leave here
very soon to attend lectures at the
medical college in Louisville.
Mrs. George Lacky will visit her
parents next week in Logan and
expects to remain several weeks.
