SECOND BALLOT
UNIONTOWN.

A TURNPIKE ROAD from Louisville
to Bruce Station, is talked of, and there
is possibility of its being constructed at

OUR esteemed friend, Mr.. John C..
Johnson, is now proprietor of the Ken

county readers of the CHRONICLE, who

! been sent to Washington City, asking
that post offices be established at Bruce
and Ramage's Stations on the L. V. R.R.

growth and business. The Smith Bros.
have established store, and there are
other parties who contemplate the pur-
chase of lots.

OUR CITIZENS regret to hear of the
