Some Fine Horses.

Col. D. X. johnson certainly has some
Of the finest horses in training at his stab
les Of anybody in this county. He has Sc
lected a beautiful level field on his farm
for the track and the stables are located by
it. It lays in the edge Of Fayette county
on the pike leading to Washington O. H.,
and is about two miles north of Leesbnrg.
He is getting things in shape as fast as
possible, and when finished he viii have,
according to the judgment Of those quali-
fed by experience in race tracks, a first
class arrangement of grounds and stables
But the main thing is to have the right
kind Of horses, and he has them. Several
other stockmen and farmers have horses in
training at the stables under the care Of
Carter Lamb, the trainer.
Grip VanWinkle, a bay gelding three
years old, bids fair to make a high record.
He is Of the Hambletonian blood and is
considered by all judges to be one of the
very best colts in this country. This ami
NAL is a most gentle and sensible specimen
Of horse nature, and as q trotter on the
track seems to know just what is wanted of
him. white Cloud" is a PAGER, and is
considered one of the finest movers, al
though but few weeks in training. "John
G." purchased at the late Hagler sale, and
'Leonidos," both fine thorough-breds and
both with fine records (to make).
| 50 Ill u
racer, who has never been trained but if
there is anything in appearances, if he
should be trained by a careful man, will
make his mark. He is a nervous, frey
eyed rascal and would rather run race
than eat. "Gypsy Queen" belongs to Mr..
Ed Cox. Her majesty is a beauty, and
sports a pedigree longer than the Guelphs.
Then there's "Harry Whitefoot," and
Lizzie O'Connor''; the peerless Theresa
thoroughbred and sixteen hands high, one
Of the grandest young "critters" in South,
ern Ohio. ''Rosella Brown, ~, yearling,
is q plump beauty, and "Mnud D." sorre
6Ily without an equal. But there is 6
whole herd more of them, everyone goot
one, and nothing common or unclean in the
whole lot. An attempt at a description o.
these fine animals would be beyond tn,
limits of an ordinary article, but the sigh
is free for all. Go and see them, and the
Colonel will tell the visitor more abou
horsehesh in an hour than can be writer
in day.
Colonel johnson deserves success in hi
new enterprise. He deserves it for hi
courage in investing in q business whicl
in any event will result in great good il
developing better grade Of horses wher
much needed and he deserves it becnus,
he is always found in the front ledge" o
advancement in all things honorable an,
right-a typical American citizen.

bitters, kidney medicines, iron medicines,
etc., without benefit, have found perma-
nent relief in from one to three bottles of

over the many pretended cures so largely
