Trustee last Saturday.
Mrs. G. l.. Helm, u Jurction CITY,
who has been seriously III, i- much better

The Standard Oil Company works at
Junction City commenced work with full
orce last Monday, giving employment to
large number Of men who have been out
Of work for some time.
Owing to wreck On the c. :. X. T.,
last Tuesday, in Tennessee, the mails we're
thrown into come confusion for several
days, ss the trains missed connection at
Junction City with trains on the L. A y.

We thought from the amount OF tan
bark shipped from Shelby City las, year
that not q tree was left standing. But
there 10 q large quantity being shipped
this season. When. It all comes from is a
mystery.
The recent rains have brought GU,
vegetation Of all descriptions with wen
derful rspidity. A great many meadows
q week or ten days ago promised TO be al
most worthless, will now have fair crop,
while the wheat crop has been wonderful
iy benefited.
Last Saturday evening Master Hsdie
Grubbs, while attempting to step from a
side porch to the versnda at his fathers
residence in Shelby City, missed his foot
ing and fell to the ground distance Of g.
teen feet cutting large gash in his lower
Lip and otherwise bruising the little fellow
severely.
John leiIsr, Jr., Of Casey county,
made a short visit 10 his fathers near
Shelby City last Monday. We are glad
TO learn that John IL one Of the most sue
cessiul farmers in Casey county. While
here he purchased Of W. T. Grubbs
splendid thoroughbred Jersey bull, which
he took to his farm. where he will soon
have quite a fancy herd Of Jerseys.
"A protrac,ed meeting, or rather a con
tinuation Of one, which has been in pro-
gress at the colored Baptist Church in
Shelby City since Nj. Lincoln's emancipa-
ton proclamation. has become one Of the
most complete nuissnoes that any town
was ever cursed with. Able bodied men
leave the pillow in the field, cooks and
nurses forsake their duties and collect In
large bodies and go through town singing,
shouting, dancing and kicking up fuss
generally. At night they collect at their
church, where they make the night hid
eous with their midnight revelriss. We
are decidedly Of the opinion that the devil
has more TO de with such proceedings than
the lord.
The Democrats Of BOYLE county will
assemble in Mass Convention at Danvills
the goth inst, for the purpose Of selecting
q candidate for the Legislsture. Thus far
there is only one candidate publicly an
nounced, Hon. Paul J. Doneghy. But
there are Other gentlemen who, while they
are net candidates for the shnes asd will
not under any circumstances contend fer
the position within their own party, yet
We are satisfied would not refuse TO serve
in any honorable position their party may
place them. J. d. McFerrAn, Esq.. and
Thomas McRobers, Esq, are prominently
spoken Of, whose names will, in all probs-
bility, be presented to the convention,
while many Of Judge Durhsm's warmesI
friends would like TO nee him represent
Boyle county in the Rext Legislature. Al
though they are we'll aware that he has no
ambition whatever for the place. having
refused 10 become q candidate for the
Legislature before he was elected to Con-
ares. yet one thing We know, Judge Dur
h,m has never refused 10 work for the
Democratic party wherever and whenever
called upon.
