Correct Standard Time,

five are to Judge the correctness of
the so-callcd true sun time tor thiscity,
by the blowing Of the factory whistles
and some other supposed standar Is.
we must say chat they will surely not
do to rely upon, as for correct time
any one with an ordinary close run
ming watch might have noticed that
the variation in any of those supposed
standards is from one to five minutes
Il week, but no better can be expected,
as the factories have always made
time to suit their convenience and
are not particular about few mlli-
utes, much less few seconds, be-
sides that some very important ard
expensive instruments are cS-
seltial to having the true sun time.
First, there must be a transit instru-
ment for observing the transit of the
sun over the meridian, which no one
in this section of country possesses,
excepting our leading jeweler, N. ID.
Kelly, who always has everything to
make perfect his business. The sec
ond important thing is fine regula-
tor that will keep correct time when
given to it from the transit
instrument. If you have a
fine watch or clock that does not
vary more than few seconds in a
month you compare it with either OF
NJ. ID. Kelly's two unique regulators
and if Won are close observer OF
fine time you must say that Mr.. Kelly
surely keeps tile only correct time
for this latitude. lie takes the pains
and has the best facilities to do So
He keeps on top of his building tht
recognized standard or railroad time
to the minute for men of progress
and for closer time than minute
his regulator inside his jewelry stor'
and behind his counter igivcs thu
same time to the second. Also fo
the satisfaction Of the few who are
slow to adopt the standard time h'
keeps the meridian or sun time in min
utes and seconds on 2 dials on the
great clock that you will see in one o
his show windows. Run your tim
pieces by Kelly's standard time anc
the trouble and dissatisfaction Of set
ting them every few weeks with TIN
so-called standards will cease. Tn,
standard or r. Il. time is 10 minute
and 50 seconds slower than III
meridian time for lIoDkinsville.

G. 6. Noble Released.

G. c. Noble was arrested on the
10Th inst, on a warrant charging him
with .embezzling the funds of the
proprietors of the SOUTH KENTUcK-
IAN, by whom he was employed as
agent. lie was tiled before city
Judge Brasher Saturday evening.
lie admitted the appropriation TO his
own use Of about $29 Of his employ
crs' money and $43 more was shown
by evidence TO have been appropria-
ted in the same way. The facts were
nO1 denied by the defendant, but his
attorneys claimed that an uncontroll-
able passion for liquor had brought
about his defalcation and subsequcn'
flight to Louisville. The defense was
conducted by Messrs. Brcathitt u
Sites and the commonwealth was
represented by Mcssrs. Henry Il
PAYNE. The law points were argued
at length Saturday night by all OF
the attorneys engaged and Judge
Brasher decided that under the sta
tutcs of Kentucky his defalcation
was not embczzlcmen and the pris-
oner was released. The case attract
ed a good deal Of attention as the
law point to be decided was very
intricate one. The arguments of the
four young attorneys engaged in the
case were very crcditable to them.
Their speeches have received the
highest praise from all who heard
them.

A Courier Prophecy.

Tuesday morning, November 9tF,
1882, The Courier editorially made
this prediction:
of Western democrats expect to
secure the Presidential nomination
for u Western man, they must bring
forward some new man, Young
enough in years aud progressive
enough in ideas to cope with Grover
Cleveland, of New York, This young
giant cannot be bcatenin the conven-
to / by any man who has beln in ac-
tive political life during the past
twenty years. A new generation
was ushered upon the stage last Tues
day, when New York gave one hum
dred and eighty five thousandmaior-
ity for Cleveland"
On Friday, November 10th, 1882,
the Courier editorially said:
"The Courier, two months ago,
named a ticket for 1884 that would
capture the young men of the coun
try. 1t was Grover Cleveland fol
Presidentand John G. Carlisle fol
Vice Presidcnt."
The Courier never had doubt o.
Clcveland's nomination from thai
day until it was effected, although
from considerations of persona
friendship and state pride, it cordial
Ily supported Mr.. Mcdonald. MOI
have we the least doubt that Cleve
land and Hendricks will be elected
Indeed, we have no hesitancy il
placing on record now the prediction
that the Democrats will carry New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut, In
diana and Wisconsin, with TAI

McCAMY, DoNrE 4 q

At a recent meeting of the State
Board of Equalization of Taxes, the
average cash value of the land in this
county was fixed at 500, whereaslt
had before been assessed at $3.50
Judge Winfrec went to Frankfort
last week to protest against this enor-
nous and unjust increase. lie learned
upon reaching Frankfort that it had
been reduced to SIS which is still
much too large a valuation. lie pre-
sented the matter to the Board and
made an argument against the injus-
tice of making our tax rate higher
than any other county in the district,
but the matter has not yet been acted
upon. The probabilities are that lit
tic if any reduction will bemade. The
Board fixed the rate at 90 per cent OF
the cash value so that the average as
sessed value will be increased in the
county from $3.50 to $ll.70 per acre.
The Auditors report shows that there
are in Christian county 81, 535 acres
of taxable land. An increase of $3.50
per acre would amount to more than
81, 100000 increase upon which state
taxes will be collected.

includes two houses in Washington, q house in

extent of 100000. 1t is asserted by Gen.
Grants friends that he supposed, up to the

in the firm profits Of $4,000. Ward lived in
a style that required a larger income than

outside Influences,

The difficulty of reaching personal
property for the purpose of taxation
has nade this question a lively issue in
some of the eastern states, and q Mas
sachusetts Legislative committee hos
agreed to report q bill for a tax Of two
per cent on all property real and per-
sonal, either by will or without, the tax
to be paid by the administrator of the es-
tate before he pays over its proceeds to
the heirs, exempting a fixed amount of
$4,000. It has the merit of reaching
personal property once in q generation
to say the least. Vermont made a very
stringent law several years ago, and the
result has been that personal prop
erty in that state now pays its share
of taxes into tine state and local treasur-
les. In the cities and large towns at
the west personal property, in many
cases, virtually escapes taxation, owing
the difficulty of reaching it and tie pre-.
v%aience of perjury on the part of the
owners aud gross negligence or worse,
on the part Of assessors.
