j. Clay B.own killed deer the day
after the election that weighed 800 pounds.
II was the largest one that has been killed
in this county for number Of years.
The Railroad Committee for this coun.
" met at the Courthouse last Saturday.
| enclose proceedings handed me by Chm
Geo. f Stone: Committee appointed 10 obtain
the right Of way through Casey county for
the Cincinnati, Green River and Nashville
X. X. Co. met the Courthouse in Liberty,
Nov. IL, and reports were made by the
various subcommittee Of their progress in
obtaining right Of way, donations Of ties,
timbers, materials, &c. The reports were
very favorable and judging from them
there will be little or no trouble in obtain
ing the right Of way on either Of the con-
templsted routes through the county, and
liberal donations OF material necessary for
the construction. The committeeman
from all parts Of the county were present
and the people generally seem to be awake
10 the importance Of doing all in their
power TO secure the road through the coun-
ty, large majority favoring and desiring
the river route. The committee adjourned
10 meet again next Saturday TO make a
final report, and they desire and invite the
president Of the road, Mr.. Z. Zimmerman,
to be present at their neat meeting.
In August last Casey county voted re-
publican, but on the 9Th OF this month she
came to the front with l9l majority for
wolford. We all say with one voice, Praise
the Lord. Casey is again democrat coun-
ty, and we have every reason to believe
that she will remain democratic and give
Judge Owsley msjority Of ], 200 at the
next August election for Governor. In
fact We expect to give him a solid vote
from this county regardless OF party or
politics, and you may depend upon it he
ia dead sure to be our Governor. The
Carr is of the track and 40 badly wreck
ed that il will never be able to reach
Washington City. Reports have reached
here that the Carr has gone into the Nam
moth Cave to spend the remainder Of his
life in solitude. No wonder, his own coun-
~ went back on him to the tune Of /, $50
Since the election news reached this place
our republican friends have been low
down, but the democrats have been jubilsnt.
On Thursday night we celebrated the
election Of Wolford by firing anvils, sky
rockets, Roman candles, &c. Good crowd
in town and all enjoyed it, On last FIJI
day night Judge J. b Stone and his esti-
mable lady gave a hop in honor Of General
Wolford, which eclipsed any thing that
has taken place in our social circle this
Fall. There were about thirty Of our
young folks present; the evening was love-
ly and the music made by Messrs. Frank
Warmer, Col. J. w. Whip and DR.. o.
II. McRoberts, was rapturous. The dance
began at eight and continued until one,
and we have never seen young folks enjoy
themselves 80 well as they did on
that occasion. Judge and Mrs Stone have
the heartfelt thanks Of all that were pres
ent for their unbounded hospitality. May
they live long and ever be happy. On
Saturday night at dark the news reached
here that all the democrats from Middle
burg would be here in torch-light process
zion. Our town was illuminated as il by
magic FROM one end 10 the other, and at
o'clock Col. Howe McAnnich came in ad-
vance, a band Of music next and behind
them two hundred sound democrats, all
bearing torches. The music vas good and
cheer after cheer went up for Wolford and
the democratic victory. Ourold town put
on such grand appearance that it was
hard to realize that il was the same place.
A bonfire was brightly burning on the pub.
lie square, and anvils were being fred that
sounded like cannons as the procession
came into town. They marched around
the Courthouse, formed line in front Of
the Napier Hotel and were addressed by
Geo. L Stone, Col. Howe McAnnich, A.
X. Clark, w. V. Reppert, A. b. Williams
and your correspondent. All made short
speeches; after which Col. McAnnich an
nounced that they would march to the res
idence Of Col. Silas Adams and give him a
chance to join the democratic army Of the
Lord, but when We reached there Col. A.
was not TO be found. The proce ssion
marched back 10 the public square and
