monize to the entire satisfaction of the
average High Chief Magistrate of this
county, Is a graduate of New Baymus.
Mr.. Weddings superior ability as an
advocate is unsurpassed, and his legal
opinions are regarded as superior TO any
in this latitude, save and except EX-
Chief Magistrate, Hon. c. w. II. Cobb,
who, be ii said to his credit, never was
known To SO construe the law as not to
give each party "Far Shake"
Another of her brilliant, classic schol-
ars is our local editor, therenowned, far
famed poet,
RIGHT HONORAB BILE LYCURGUs BARRETT
who has not had an equal in his day.
Even the soft, sweet flowing rhythmical
productions of that Miltonian Bard,
HON. BURL BILBRo,
pale into utter insignificancc when COM
pared with the efftisions of Mr.. Barrett.
To show the superiority Of his produc-
tions We quote n stanza from u recent
poem. We have not space to give all
but assure the reader that the other 30
verses are fully up to the standard of
the one quoted
81 don't love whisky, and / don't love rum,
But love you, Sallie-I do by gum;
l don't love brandy, ! don't love gin,
But the way love Sal, IL is n sim"
Still another is the celebrated teacher,
Prof Sidney Wallace Kirby, a man
who has attained to the most eminent
heights of his profession, and dispenses
knowledge to his pupils with as much
ease as housewife scatters dough to Il
brood Of young chickens. He has been
principal of several institutes, notably
among the number the high school of
the city of Ccralvo, i'm all of which he
fully sustained the wonted fame of New
Baymus graduates. On account of
space we will refer to but one other
ourself
The statement in the outset that we
were a graduade of New Baymus, is the
best evidence that she outianks Harvard
or Asbury.
The exhaustive editorials on political
economy, familiar science, agriculture,
chemistry, geology, ancient and mod
ern history, and other important topics
which appear from time To time in this
journal are from our superior pen, and
the result of the superior education We
attained at New Baymus. These plthy,
logical editorials are read and re-read
and read again by our many thousand
subscribers. The HERALD has not an
equal in all this broad expanse. 1t is
even superior to the Greenville Echo
and Hawesville Ballot. After reading
this no one will be surprised at the
ability with which the HERALD has
been conducted, and the remarkable
success attained.
If the outside world knew that the
famous edifice-New Baymus--was not
above the average of the structures dot
ting the hills and valleys of the
State, dedicated to education, they
would not be astonished at the
large number of great men furnished
by Kentucky. Dear, dear old New
Baymus,
"we never can forget thee, while the past
In memory beams"
Long may you stand!

Our Coming Fair.

The premiums on corn and tobacco to
the subscribers of the HERALD will be
distributed Friday, February 9th next.
Any paid up annual subscriber, or
who becomes one on or before the 2nd
day of February, 1880, living i'm Ohio,
Daviess, Mclean, Muhlenberg, Butler,
Grayson, Breckenridge or Hancock
county, has right to compete, and no
others.
The premium is awarded on the crops
grown by the subscriber or upon his
premises mot by another on the prem
ises Of another) i'm the year 10, mot in
some other year..
The samples of tobacco must contain
ten pounds-not two, or three, or five,
but ten pounds. The samples of corn
thirty ears.
We will have committee of disin-
terested gentlemen to receive samples,
and all samples not complying with
these rules will be rejected. We of
course do not think any effort will be
made by any one to work i'm samples
not of his own growth, or not grown
upon his premises i'm 1879, but if such
thing should be attempted, it will
sooner or later come to light, and we
will publicly expose, through the col
umns of this paper, any one thus guilty
of bad faith. t.4
We want "A fair fair, and want the
persons entitled to premiums to get
them, and pledge ourselves to so con-
duct il that il cannot be said that it
was otherwise than fair. 1t costs the
subscribers entitled to compete nothing
at all to contend for the premiums.
If he wins, he gets big pay, if he fails,
his sample will bring more than its
value, the benefit of which he gets.
The day will not be long, for we will
have gentleman here to entertain you
with one of the best lectures you ever
heard, on agriculture, horticulture, fer
tilization, &C.; lecture probably more
profitable to you than any premium we
offer. Remember there are Is prem
iums, 9 on tobacco and on corn; five
S25; five SO; five 81. Remember
some one will get each one OF these
premiums. Reader, remember you
will not unless you make an effort.
Any one entitled to compete at all can
compete for all the premiums. Come
out, everybody, and witness the inter-
est manifested as well as help swell the
interest in our staple products, and build
up the reputation of one of our leading
commodities, tobacco. Do not fail to
come even If you have no sample to
enter.

State Finances.

We learn from the Echo that Gov
ernor Blackburn has remitted S2l0 of
fine rendered against &. w. Rothrock
by the Greenville Circuit Court for
keeping tippling house i'm South Car
rollton, and granted respite on the
balance Of the fine, S2l0, for six months.
We were disposed TO favor Governor
Blackburn in pardoning convicts who
were manned, diseased, &C., where they
had been obedient, and had conducted
themselves reasonably well, on account
OF the unhealthy and over-crowde,l con-
ditiou of the penitentiary, but we are
directly opposed to the remitting of
fines for the violation of law. The
Governor, IA his message, refers to the
deficit Of over half million dollars,
that will occur this year, the revenue
will lack that much Of meeting the ex-
peiise.s,) and advises the sale of $500, ,ONl
Of State bonds, to meet the deficit, and
an increase Of the tax 5 cents on each
500 of taxable propery to meet il in flu
ture years.
The Governor has been remittine
fines at fearful rate, since his term be.
gan. He remitted fines of some Of the
very worst gamblers Of the city Of LOU
isville, to the amount Of S50,0O. He
recently remitted fine Of $500 i'm the
Hardin Circuit Court, against John
Young, of Louisville, for running a
wheel of fortune,) who Is a roper-in OF
gambling dens, a rapist, and one of the
worse scoundrels alive, to-day. II the
Governor keeps on, he will remit enough
fines during the year to pay the deficien-
cy. f 'i
This being true. his message, properly
interpreted, means, "Gentlemen of the
Legislature, issue and sell half a million
I'm bonds, to pay our deficit this year
raise the tax five cents on the 500, to
meet il hereafter; 30 that l, Governor
Luke p. Blackburn, can have the pleas
nre Of remitting fines against John
Young, the notorious gambler and
rapist, of Louisville, and Others of his
ilk, keepers Of tippling houses' dram
shops, gambling dens, and all evil doers
generally, that mar the happiness, un-
dermine the morals and virtue of the
young, and scatter the foul odors of cor
ruption and vics srall over the State"
See what picture is presented. We
spend for Grand Jurors, Petit Jurors
Commonwealth Attorneys, Criminal
Judges and other costs, 500, 600 ov more
annually, to prosecute this very class OF
criminals, and obtain judgments for
these fines.
Now is il not extremely ridiculous to
expend from Sa0O, 900 to 500, 600 per an
mum, in obtaining these judgments, and
have the Governor remitting nearly, OF
quite all of them? Let the pardonine
power Ike abolished or properly restrict
ed, or else stop prosecuting fellows for
setting up and carrying on gambling
hells, wheels Of fortune, tippling houses,
&c. If these fines were not remitted,
but collected promptly as possible, the
deficit would not be 80 great.

1880 finds the people of this vicinity
in prosperous condition. A large
quantity Of poles and slaves have been

Mr.. G. Il. Stewart is very i'll at this

Miss Mollie Williams received quite "a
severe wound lately-cut her foot with

Well, like all other businessssplaces,
Stewartsville has been blessed with sew

the end is not yet.
Our portion of the county is being
visited by kukluX. They have taken
one Mr.. Carter and whipped him. A
few nights since they took one Mr.
Stewart and whipped him severely
cutting the blood. They claim to have
whipped him on account of idle habits,
the truth of which know nothing
about, but his neighbors say he had
plenty to live on, and is well disposed
man. This mob has been in search OF
other citizens, saying they were going
to regulate the country by whipping all
the idlers.

Anddled Maine Machly Mixed.

Since our last issue, things have not
improved In Maine. The Speaker OF
the Senate, Jas. ID. Iamson, qualified
as acting Governor, but 10 and behold,
a military Governor appears ON the
field. Gen. Joshua Chamberlain had
been left In charge of the State Militia.
by Governor Garcelon when he retired
from Office, with instructions to pre-
serve the States property until the new
Governor should he elected and qualify.
Gen. Chamberlain refused to recognize
Governor IAmson. The Fusion Legis-
hture proceeded to business and elected
J. L. Smith, Greenbacker, Governor,
who qualified and selected his Council ;
and the Legislature elected other State
officers.
Republicans claiming to he Sen.
ators, and Representatives met to-
gether and organized a Legislature,
and then Submitted the question to the
Supreme Court, as to which one of the
bodies was the legal Legislature. The
Supreme Court being a very partisan
court, of course decided as before, ev.
cry point against the Fusionists. The
Republican Legislature then elected
Daniel +. Davis, Governor, who quail
fed. Gen. Chamberlain, who had re.
fused to recognize either Lamson OF
Smith, recognized Davis. Each party
have endeavored to get entire contro
of the State property, but neither had
entirely succeeded. On Monday, the
Republican Governor, Legislature and
soldiers took possession of the State Cap
itol and all its rooms by means Of pick
Ing locks, but had not been able, at las,
