surrounding country, but US 1t seems that no
one will do so, will attempt it myself.
Our town is situated in one OF the most fertile
sections Of country in Lafayette county. Where
the broad, beautiful prairie, with its mounds
covered with clumps of trees, now clothed IN
their robes of green foliage. and the hlll-sides
here and there. dotted with neat farm cottages,
presents an appearance most beautiful, lovely
and homelike.
Our farmers have been busy lately.
Trade in all classes of business is good.

CRIMINAL JUDGE-JOHN E. RYLAND.

We are permitted to publish the following ex.
tract from a private letter of an old citizen o
Lafayette county, L. w. Smallweod, Esq, ad
dressed to his brother. Thos. Smallwood, of thii
city. 1t is merited and we'll deserve! compli
ment to our fellow count yman.
1.-THE mail last night brought us two Lexins-
ton papers, from which I see yeu are likely to
have exciting times in the approaching election
am more than glad to see that John Ryland is
to be Judge of the criminal court. at least sup
pose he will be. II it is necessary you ought TO
work to secure his election. Lafayette county
has no better man; no one better fitted for the
station. and wish was there to help push him
into placs. Away down at the bottom John
Ryland is good man, and he is better versed in
Jurisprudence, understands the law as 3 science
better, far better than any other man at the Lex
ington bar. His father, the judge, always re-
gsrded as having qulckness OF perception, and
II power OF Analysis equaled by very few men,
and John is not whit his Inferior. HIS brain
10 q complete duplicate of his fathers in his
power of analysis, and beside this, and better
tn an this. his integrity will protect him against
the corruptions now SO prevalent. He may be
swayed on the side of mercy. but never other

THE CANDIDATES AT WAVERLY

EDITOR ISrELLIGkNCKk: - The candidates
spoke here Saturday, and We're listened to with
that courteous and respectful attention for which
our people are proverblal. Judge Hord pre-
sented his claims in few sensible and apprO-
PIRATE remarks. Col. kathbun dwelt on his
war record. and is doing himself All injury.
The significant silence which greets his most
frantic efforts to create prejudice against
Judge Burden on account of the war will satisfy
the Colonel, alter while, that he strikes the
wrong chord 10 reach the popular heart. He
should show merit that would entitle him to the
ofiice, if he can. Judge Burden made y strong
appeal for harmony in the democratic party
He said there was urgent necessity for throwing
aside the disagreeable memories Of the war, and
for all true democrats. whether they followed
McClelland, Hancock, Lee or Jackson. to unite
to save common country from the grasp OF
radical misrule. Judge Burden is rendering
signal service to the democratic party by his
patriotic Efforts to harmonize its different -le
ments and to solidify Its ranks iu the impend-
ing struggle for constitutional liberty. His re-
marks were received with the most profound at
tention; fell upon COED soil. and will bear fruit
among thinking men. MIDDLETON.
