The ball in Turner's hall last night,
gwen for the benefit of Mr.. John Hagey,
was a success in spite of the disagreeable
weather The music, which was furnished
free OF charge by Prof. Eisenberg's string
band, was of the usual high order and de-
served the praise it received from all
present. The supper which the ladies had
provided was sumptuous, and many were
the evidences that it had been prepared

satisfied that it was handsome little sum

Our readers will remember the killing
of Hudson by George Simmons, in Ballard
county. Ky, as related in these columns last
week. We learn from the Paducah News
that Simmons has had hearing before
Judge McConagill and that the accused
was discharged. When the judge made
the announcement that Simmons had
done the shooting in self de-
tense, the large crowd of farmers who were
present at the trial cheered Justify. The
relatives Of Hudson, however, showed
much dissatisfaction and said thew would
have Simmons indicted at the next session

Metropolis Democrat "There is now
no sort of question but what Hon. Thomas
W. Halliday is the favorite candidate for
congress in this district among Democrats.
We do not for moment believe
that the fortunes OF the Democratic party
are wholly wrapped up in any single
individual but do believe that Mr.. Halli-
day combines within himself a greater
number Of requisites for the position than
any man before the party, and for our part
we shall work for his nomination until the
day OF the convention. To be sure, Mr.
Halliday is not figuring or triggering for
the nomination, but we feel morally certain
that if it is rendered hm in such a way
that he sees himself clearly the choice of
his party he will accept, and his acceptance
means Democratic congressman Just as
surely as the ides Of November roll around"
Although the officers of the law have
been diligently at work trying to obtain
clue rs TO who burglarized the residence of
Mr.. Barney Grain on Saturday last, not the

Quite large number of our promi-
nent citizens, OF all classes and politics
have spoken to us in very complimentary
terms concerning Mr.. Chas. Lame, and the
possibility of inducing him to make the
race tor the Office Of police magistrate. We
believe that, if Mr.. Lame desired
the office, he could be elected
by a flattering majority. He is IN old and
respected citizen, personally known to every
man in the community, clear headed, with
sound sense and firm and Independent
mind. As police magistrate he would metc

has the esteem and confidence Of our people
and he would not abuse that confidence
