Corn Show.

To the Farmers Of Kentucky:
With the view of directing the at
tention of the farmers of Kentucky
where to obtain seed corn of the best
varieties grown in the State, the an
nual corn show will be held at this
office on the 2Sth day of Feb. 1884.
The following premiums will be
awarded: First and second premi-
ums at SIS, aud $40 each for the fol-
lowing varieties, viz: White corn,
yellow corn, bread corn, pied or mixed
corn. Mpremium of SIS for best sam
pie of hominy and cattle corn. Each
sample must be sent in separate
package, marked with the name of
the exhibitor and the name of the
variety, and the package may be sent
by freight in the charge ofthis Office.
Each sample must contain not less
than thirty ears. The weather has
been so extremely cold that it is ques-
tionable how far the corn germs have
been effected byit. Too much caution
therefore can not be exercised in the
selection of seed corn. 1t is my pur-
pose to purchase abou t seventy-fve
bushels of the premium corn for dis
tribution through the members of the
Legislature in the various coun tres

When he came to pay for the drinks he
pulled out handful of gold and silver,
amounting to about $50, and laid it on
the counter, remarking:
"How much ia this ?"
"Goin' to stop here long" asked the
barkeeper.
"Few days." said tho man.
The loar-keeper eat red the money
up, counted it carefully and showed it
all back, saying, quietly:
"Better keep it, stranger, If that's all
you've got You'll need it right along.

The Kentucky Republican edited
by one of Fred Douglass colorcd
brothers, has this to say of Frcderick's
recent marriage: "a prominent
Democrat stopped us on the street last
Saturday to remark that Fred Doug
lass had gone back on the negro race
and married white woman. Ourrc-
ply was that we believed that Mr..
Douglass had made a mistake, but if
he and the lady were satisfied it was
no affair of ours.
AN OLD STATUTE.
The widespread discussion which
Frederick Douglass has provoked by
marrying white woman, has result
ed in the discovery of an old statute
imposing a fine of 5000 pounds of to-
bacco as a penalty for such act. The
statute alluded to is one hundred and
sixty years old.-Evansville Journal.
ARE ALL THE COUNTIES HEARD FROM ?
There are at this writing six candi-
dates for Congress in the Seventh
Kentucky Congressional District to
succeed Captain Blackburn. The aver
age Kentucky politician makes haste
to avail himself of the earliest oppor-
tunity.-Commonwealth.
CAUSES A PECK OF TROUBLE.
"If Milwaukee Peck had any con-
sideration for his readers he would
kill his "bad boy" in the next number
and be done with him. The bad boy
of fiction, like his prototype in real
life, has become an insufferable bore"
Louisville Commercial.
Boys are bad enough. nowadays,
without having more mischief put
into their heads by the writings re-
ferred to. AS if the written sketches
had not done enough harm, there is a
dramatic version of Peck's writings
that is said to be filled with vicious
nonsense. The "Bad Boy" stories and
the strained wit of the Detroit Free
Press is the worst "rot" extant in the
field of so-called literature. 1t makes
sensible people stirred" to read it,

The Penitentiary Bill.

Senator Parlange's bin to annul the
leases by which S. l.. james g. Co., hold
the State Penitentiary and convict
force and to place them under the con-
troll and management of a State board,
in the construction and maintenance of
the levees, ought to have the support of
every right thinking member of the
House and Senate. The present sys-
tenn of managing these unfortunate
creatures is not only against law and
inhuman in the extreme, but it is a
shameless prostitutes of the penitentia-
ry system of the State to promote the
greedy ayarice of few favored indivi-
duals who have grown rich upon con-
vict labor. No sensible reason can be
given why this large force should not
be utilized to build and maintain the
leVees under the control of State officers.
II Messrs. James & Co., can hire them
to the State and get rich out of their
wages, why cannot the State work them
to advantage and save the bonus that
has to be paid to these lessees !? It is an
outrage upon the taxpayer to levy q
contribution upon him to pay James &
Co., for the use of these convicts, 1uRen
their labor belongs to the State. Aside
from this consideration it is a duty res
ing upon the conscience of the State to
take these unfortunate people out of
the hands of this selfish, grinding mo-
nopoly, and place them under guar
dians appointed by the legislature aud
subject TO the ordinary restraints and
dictates of humanity.
