The Hartford herald., 1880-09-08

The essay delivered at our recent
Teachers Institute by Miss Allie q.
Nunnelly, of Rockport, is spoken Of in
meritorious terms.
DIR. w. i. Bennett, Of Island Sta
tion, held regular services here last Sat
urday night and Sunday, but owing to
rain did not preach Sunday
night.
Prof. Ludwig, leader Of the Hart
ford Cornet Band, has organized Il string
band here. Prof Ludwig is a first class
musician, and We are glad that he has
decided To make Hartford his future
home.
Capt. Henry McIIenry is still pro-
crossing with his company of cadets.
The boys seem To enjoy the drill recita-
tions. From now on he will only drill
on Saturdays, which will not interfere
with the College.
Mr.. Hiram Chapman, one Of the
VI nun
died very suddenly last Thursday of
brain trouble. He was at work in his
tobacco field in the morning, and died
before night.
Hon. Jas. 4. Mckenzie, Democrat
ic candidate for Congress, will meet
Hon. e. w. Cook. Greenback candidate
for Congress, at his appointment at
Fordsville, to-day.
The Hartford Cornet Band furnish
ed music for the political gathering
Monday. Under the leadership of
Prof. Ludwig they are rapidly improv-
ing and already make excellent music.
They propose TO uniform and equip them
selves properly 50 soon rs they can
raise sufficient means.
We understand that the Williams
hill ON the Hartford and Beaver road is
in very bad condition. We do not
know who the surveyor is, but from
the complaint we have heard We sup
pose the grand jury will find out if the
same is not put i'm good condition.
DIR. l.. A. King and Judge Cyrus
Gates paid visit To the beautiful town
of Hartford last week. Something, we
apprehend, more beautiful than the
town, was the attraction. What do
you say, Col. Barrett?-McLedn County
Ners.
Weguess two petite, blue-eyed blondes
were the principal attraction.
Persons suffering with that horrid
disease, asthma, had better read the
tetter of J. II. Smith, of Rockport, in
this issue. He tells you where he got
cured, and he is a truthful, reliable man.
You can go and do likewise. DIR. II. ii.
Porter offers fair. If he undertakes
your ease he offers no cure no pay.
This is as fair as yon could ask.
Mr.. j. n. Oldham, of the Liberty
church neighborhood, brought in stalk
of corn last Monday of the early pro
life variety, the seed of which was
procured at this Office last spring, which
had eight good, well-matured, well-de.
velOped ears of corn. Mr.. Oldham in
formed us that the quarter of an acre
planted by them would range from foul
to eight ears per stalk.
Mr.. w. A. McGill, the artist, ar
rived yesterday. His tent and fixtures
will Ike here to-day and he will be read,
for work by the last of the week. II,
is good artist and proposes to do a,
good work as any one. His work viii
come up To the standard of the best city
galleries. Call on him and get yourself
photographed.
Mckenzie will meet Cook at all O
his appointments i'm Ohio county, a
follows: Fordsville, to-day; Rosine
Thursday; Stewartsville, Friday; Rock
port, Saturday; McHenry, Satur'ia,
night. The appointment at Cromwell
Friday night is withdrawn. Thes,
men are able representative men ant
deserve hearing. Turn out, fellow
citizens. and hear them.
Notwithstanding the short motto
given, the crowd in town Monday wa
simply immense. The Courthouse WA,
filled until there was not standing room
and more than three hundred could no
get Ia the house. This shows that ther,
is great anxiety upon the part of tn,
people TO become informed upon th,
vital issues Of the day. The crowd il
full, probably reached 800. No on,
estimates it at less than 1000.
To the members and friends OF Tin
M. T.. Church, Hartford circuit: Gu
conference year is winding to close
The salary We promised to pay oul
pastor for his work, though small fo
SO large membership, We have failed
to pay by $50. We have not paid ou
Presiding Elder one cent. Our pastor
Rev. J. S. Mcdaniel, has paid the FL
der out of his own salary all that he ha
received this year. How do you ex
pcct our preacher and family to liv,
when We fail to pay him up out of
small salary $50, when he has to pay
the Presiding Elder out of that. Tn
stewards know as well as you do, wher
you are making excuses, that if you ha'
made any effort you would have som,
money ready when you are called upon
Hartford circuit is amply able and cal
pay their pastor If they will. Th'
Stewards will call upon you before tn
third Saturday in September to max
up the deficiency. Please pay up.
