Editor South Kentuckian: .as
In looking over the columns Of
your paper, we have for some time
noticed that you haveno correspond
ents from this section OF country, and
have concluded TO drop you a few
items hoping that you viii. give them
publication.
The farmers Of this section are
very busy following their land, pre-
paratory To- planting q crop. 'sV1
The tobacco plants are again being
destroyed by the bugs, or tlies5 which
are making, as usual great Sravages
upon them. The farmers vow eter'
nal vengeance, but TO no avail.
The ladies begin to wear an anx.
ious look IN regard to the recent cold
weather. they fear the peach croT
will be nipped in the bloom and
away goes all the bright visions o.
Jelly pies &c. and we admit that tht
cobbler business Ia what scareH us.
Prof. T. j. Mitchell will begin sing
ing school at his place next Satur
day..
The boys had quito an interesting
discussion here, on last Thursda,
night, on the question OF Capital pun
isement. Quite a crowd was ou
among whom we noticed Prof l.. 7
Flippo, and another gentleman from
Hopkinsvilie. More anon. taN (

upon, sent the names Of all the very
lean men in town. The effect was
very decisive. A short time after
