GOVERNOR KNOTT.

Springfield Qll.) Register: The action
of the democratic state convention of
Ken lucky, in nominating the Hon. j.
Proctor Knott for governor, will meet the
cordial appreciation of the democratic
party of the whole country. His elect ion
Is foregone conclusion, and his ADM n :
istration of the high office will be in ac-
cordance with his past record in congress.
Mr. Knott has just closed a long and
brilliant career in the congress of the
United States. His great abilities emf
nently fitted him for the position of
chairman of the Judiciary committee of
the house, a position which he held dur
ing the six years of democratic ascenden-
cy. As a debatcr he had few EQUALS. and
his generous and kindly disposition en-
deared him to all who knew him. We
congratulate him and the democracy of
Kentucky upon his nomina ton, and upon
the certainty of his election IL is a fit
tribute to his long and faithful services
to the country and to the democratic
party.

she gives a brunette black hair and en-

often be made pretty The french speak
of the As'five points of beauty When
the hair is combed straight back from

perfectly bald head. Her hair did not

Strawberries especially promise an enor-
