The suits for damages against the

have fallen to the ground, the jury
having reduced the claims to AN
equitable figure. Two suits having
been decided adversely to the claim

established, the remainder have con-
cluded to throw up the sponge. The
road will now be completed without

From the above it will be seen that

compensation, was correct.

On June 18th. at Lexington, KY,
two negro men were sold at auction
for twelve months. as punishment for
vagrancy. One brought $34, the 9TH

without visible means of support is
liable to be indicted, and on convic-
ton is sentenced to be sold as slave
for a term not exceeding twelve
months. The person who buys the
defendant has the same control over
him that q master used to have over
a slave. 1t is good law and would

THE GOOD OLD TINES tq)


1t is so frequently rnng into the
ears of the rising generation that ev-
erything was SO much better in days
gone BY than now that we sometimes
make tie mistake of believing it.
Old men and old women tell us of
"the good old times" when men we're
honest, women Industrious, children
obcdient and politicians true and
sincere in their promises and the full
fillment OF them. Bah if they were
to tell US of "the mean old times"
they would be nearer the truth. If
your grandfather and grand mother
were living now they would cosider
things perfection. The journeys they
performed then took weeks and
months where it only takes a few
hours or day or two now. They
bad no matches in those days, and if
the FIRE went out and the punk was
damp there was no alternative bat TO
travel FIVE or ten miles to the next
house to get brand, and then to
stop four or FIVE times on the way
back to make FIRE in order to get a
new coal In those days you had to
pay forty or fifty dollars year for q
newspaper. In those days there were
neither cooking or heating stoves.
and if you went to church in the win
ter you had to sit in the cold. In
those days there were no STEAMBOATS,.
no railroads, no telegraphs, no sew
ing machines, no umbrellas. no rub
ger shoes or coats; in fact, nothing
of convenience and utility, and our
grand. parents toiled and fretted on
m ignorance, superstition and abso-
lutte wickedness. We say wickedness
advisedly, for it is well known that.
in proportion to population at that
time, there was more drunkenness
and slip-shod Christianity than there
is now In those days our Con-
gressmen went barefooted, and gam
bled. and got drunk; and it was not
looked on as disreputable. either.
Things are all changed for the bet
ter now. A man has to make people
believe he is respectable or be cam
not get into Office. If preacher or
politician is hypocrite or a fraud
the people are intelligent and honest
enough to brand him as such. If a
church member is drunkard and
dishonest they know he is not q
Christian, and say SO. II low down

Editor Chronicle:
I inclose you few five in num-
berl cotton worms, found on my cot
ton this morning-all sizes, from q
day or two old to one "webbed up. |"

most of them that web; but, should
We have showery weather in July, the
crop will be very short in Grant.
Yours. etc., Gro. w. HICKMAN.
