The Burdett boys gathered of Of the
land they purchased Of the Flsnnery es-
tate over 800 barrels Of corn.
-Thos Crroll OF this place, showed US
four onions that averaged II lbs. They
were raised in the interior Of Mexico.
They appear to be very mild and well
favored onion.
Quite number Of brilliant social en-
tertainments were given in the town and
vicinity during the past week. We are
sorry that we are unable to give each one
the notice that il deserves.
The first meeting Of the stockholders
to elect President and Board Of Directors

agiuglY supported.

Sheriff elect Geo. Higginbotham, viii
20 into office to-day Mr.. Thos. Palmer
will be his deputy. Mr.. j, NJ. Higgin-
botham the sheriff retiring has been one Of
the most efficient sheriff. that Garrard
county has ever had, and is great favor
lite with the bar and officers Of the Court.
Miss Katie Burdett gave cOterie on
last Saturday evening; the event was high
ly enjoyable, which would only be suppos-
ed, when we mention Miss Katie as hostess,
assisted by her sister, Miss Anna, and Mrs.
Ben Burdett The refreshments, 10 which
Justice was done, consisted both Of the del
icacies and substantials.
MIR. Frank Vanmeter, n youngster
hailing from Lexington, made himself
quite conspicuous on the street during
Christmas, by loud talk and very mark
ed use Of profane language. As he left
town he fred off his gun in front of Mr..
John Huffman's. A warrant Of arrest has
been sent to Lexington for the young gen.
aeman and he will be made to feel that the
municipal laws OF small town as well as
Of larger ones must be respected.
We must congratulate our Gown off
cials, and compliment the boys on the ex-
traordinary good order that prevailed in
our town during Christmas week. The
Town Ordinances we're violated only twice
during the entire week, and then the viola
tors we're promptly arrested and fined.
When we see from the papers the records
made by our neighboring towns aud com
pare them with our own, we are strength.
,ned in our belief that Lancaster is on the
high road to prosperity, for nothing can
Idd more to the prosperity of town than
rood and we'll enforced municipal laws.
The year that has just closed has been
he most prosperous one that Lancaster
and Garrard county has had since the war.
Business Of eYery kind has thriVed and
rad a growing tendency. We begin the
rev year under the most hattering pros
,ects and we look forward with the firm
relief that 1883 will put us as a town and
county, abreast Of our most Aourishing
leighbors. Much Of this prosperity we
,elieve, is due to the rigid enforcement Of
he law. We can now justly lay claim to
"notoriously peaceable' town as we'll as
prosperous one Let us with the beginning
4 the new year pledge ourselves anew to
he supporting Of the laws, and the good
iame that we have gained, and in the end
Ve will receive our just reward.
Cards have been received here an
bouncing Mr. Jos. Desha Pickett, as can
Iidats for reelection to the Office Of Su-
OF Public Instruction. We
'ould say to Mr.. Pickett, that, should
here be another competent candidate, his
ards sent 10 this county, and We believe 10
his entire Judicial district, are money,
Material and labor thrown away, unless he
an explain to the satisfaction Of the peo-
lie why he was 40 bitterly opposed TO Mr..
}. NJ Burdett being Judge OF the Superior
curt In 1879 when without Il, Mr..
Pickett could not have been nominated
