We visited this emporium of dry
goods and general merchandise and
found I'm assortment of goods of all
kinds, consisting of dry goods, gro
ceries, clothing, hats, caps, boots, shoes,
notions, hardware, queenswnre, cut
lery. They have very nice assort-
ment of ladies' cloaks of the latest
styles. Their stock is new, nice, and of
the latest styles, bought at the lowest
price for good goods, and they are sell
ing them the same way. Their store
room was crowded with customers all
the while We were there, which indi-
Gated the appreciation the people have
for live firm like this. The people Of
Rockport and vicinity can find any
thing they need at this house, and will
find il Ia their interest Ia visit this store
before making their purchases. Want
of space and time forbids further men
tion of this thriving town. We pre-
diet bright and successful future for
Rockport.

Astronomy in Rochester.

The new Warner Observatory, which
is being erected at Rochester, y. ", is
attracting much attention i'm social and
literary, as well as scientific circles.
The new telescope will be twenty-five
feet in length, and its lens sixteen
inches in diameter, thus making it
third in size of any instrument hereto
fore manufactured, while the dome of
the Observatory is to have some new
appliances for specially observing GER
tain portions of the heavens. Ii is To
be the finest private observatory in the
world, and has been heavily endowed
by Mr.. III. ii. Warner, proprietor of the
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, and other
remedies. Prof Swift has labored un-
der numerous Disadvantages in the past
and the new comet which he recently
found was in spite of many obstacles,
but a. the new institution is To be spe-
cially devoted to discoveries there are
good reasons TO expect very many scien-
tilic revelations ia the near future from
the Warner Observatory at Rochester.

months as student i'm Vanderbilt Uni
yersity. Ii took Sheb four hours to tell
his girl goodbye.
Fred Haag, our efficient and intelli-
gent depot and express agent at this
place has stepped off that rotten Dem
ocratic platform on to the Greenback
scaffold, where he will remain till after
the November election, if it Is solid
enough to bear his 2l0 pounds of future
Republicanism. Only one more step,
Fred and you are safe.
We had runaway spree IN town To-
day. Jacob TichenOr's team took fright
at the falling of a stack of lumber at
the saw mill and ran through town and
was stopped near the lanyard. They
only had the wagon tongue, one axle
and one fore wheel when stopped. The
other parts Of the wagon were scattereti
along the route, but no one was hurt.
Frank Pillow, a farmer OF some mn
nortance and considerable influence liv-
ing near Ceralvo, has left the Demo-

The Louisville Commercial seemed to
talk like there were no schools in the
State except in that and ortwo other
cities. The HERALD jumps up, 1ops
her wings and crows about having a
college at Hartford, and now ii is our
time to blow our horn and let the peO-
pie know that Rockport has got as fine
"A school ;is there is in the State. Miss
! Willie Hardison, of Greenville, has a
class here i'm instrumental music. She
seems to understand her profession

Advertising Pays.

Last week DR. j. T.. Pendleton ad-
vertisel missing horse in the HERALD
which had strayed or been stolen from
his farm some three weeks before. On
Monday last he received the following
letter:
SPRING LICK, KY, Oct. 1, 1850.
Dr. }. y. PadirfOh:
DEAR SIR notice in the HERALD
that YOU have lost horse. bought n
horse of Dick Fitzhugh about three
weeks ago which answers the descrip-
ton in the HERALD precisely. paid
FitZhugh Sl9.O0 and contracted To pay
500 more provided the horse suited
me. Write in care of A. G.. Rowe.
RoBT. PAXTON.
Fitzhugh is in Jail here now for forci-
bly, taking possession of Il horse, and no
doubt stoleth one from DIR. Pendlcton.
While We are unwillingly forced to
admit that Fitzhugh is an unfortunate
wreck, physically and morally, we adj
mire the honest action of Mr. Payton,
for there are others in his place who
would have kept the matter quiet and
run the horse off and sold him to save
themselves from loss.

can candidate in 1873
Don't forget that the Cincinnati Conn
merciW said, though il was hard, vet il
would support Garfield and his record
Don't forget that Arthur was turned
out of office by Hayes and Sherman
and branded by them fraud
Don't forget Garfield's Credit Nobil-
ier contract.
Don't forget Gariield's 5000 lawyer

Don't forget that the Credit Mobilier
robbed the people Of SIXTY MILLIONS

stakeholder in the Credit Mobilier.
Don't forget that convention of Re
publicans, assembled i'm Ashtabula
county, Ohio, in 1878, denounced Gar
field as IA fraud, a traitor and dishOn-
Orable man.
Democrats, paste this in your hats.
Garfield Is "a dangerous man.

Judge Cook has made many warm

speeches he has met the expectations of
the Greenback-Iabor party fully. His
arguments could not be refuted 10y Mr..
Mckenzie, because they Were substan-
tial and unanswerable. think he will
carry this county easy. All Mckenzie
done here was To try Ia bulldoZe the
people: but Ohio county is too clear
headed to I've won i'm that way. Bull
DOING may do for people who do not
read or think, hut il don't take with in
telligent people, wont stand the test of
judgment and reason. Judge Cook has
won in this county a good name,
which is better than riches.n Maine Is
ours, il We get n fair count.
q. J. BEAN
His arguments We're refuted 10y Mr..
Mckenzie 50 completely as Ia make
Cooks position ludicrous in the eX-
treme. After the November election
We will see how easy he carried the
county.
Well, Brother Bean, pray tell Us who
Mckenzie tried To biIll-doze while here.
Ii is news Ia us, We never heard of IL
before. The citizens of Ohio county
never heard Of il before We guess. Now,
Brother Bean, is not McKenzie's acts
of bull-dozing mere fancies of your
own imagination? and if not, give us
