- The August term Of our Circuit
Court will convene next Monday. II is
not known who will preside as Judge.
This county, since the lst day Of August
has not been a part of Judge Randalrs
district, and Judge Owsley not having yet
received his commission a. Judge Of the
Rockcastle Circuit Court, is appears that
Rockcsstle county has been without Cir
cult Judge since the beginning Of this
month. Ii has been kind o bobbing
around loose as it were. The remedy for
the trouble next week has been suggested
that Judge Owsley resign his present Office
as Judge of the Eighth District, come up
here next Monday and be elected Special
Judge by the Bar. This, however, won Id
leave the Eighth District without a Cir
cult Judge, but that doesn't matter. Its
hoped that Judge Owsley will adopt the
suggestion.

ID along beautifully and smiled at the
rags that were stretching for first place in
iis rear. Unexpectedly to the Democrats

worked for him like beavers. They used
he most desperate efforts 10 elect Green
Parker Sheriff. A few sore headed Dem-
crats lent them considerable aid in this
ace. The voteof precincts has been hard TO
biain, and as hope to give you the Off
ial vote in time for publication. | will
ot furnish estimates. Unofficial returns
lect Albright Sheriff by plurality Of II
otes. The official figures will not vary :
luch from these. The result between :
dams and Warren is still doubtful, with ,
he chances for Adams to have a small ma q
,rily. The Democratic precincts fell of
lightly in their msjoriiies, while The heavy !
.epublican precincts nearly doubled \
heirs. Fish Republican, was reelected b
ircuit Clerk over Tharp tGreenbackerl I
y about 700 majority. The Greenbackers
