The convention Of Independent
Republicans opposed TO Blaine and
Logan which met in New York city
Tuesday was much larger than ex-
pected. Carl Schurz, Geo. VIM. Curtis,
b. ii Bristow, W. c. Beecher, and
Francis G.. Barlow were among
those present. The members of the
Independent Executive Co nmittee OF
Massachusetts were all present. Mr.
Curtis called the meeting to order
a number of addresses were made
favoring the Endorsement of Clevc-
land and Hendricks but no resolution
t. that effect was adopted. They
decided not 10 ally themselves with
any party but to do all in their power
to defeat Blaine and Logan. Curtin
in his address recommended Cleve
land and advised the Independents t.
support him.

The debate at this place on the 4, 5

twelve speeches made Oh each propo
sition, twenty -four in all and almOs
every one present agreed that liar

The Equalization Matter.

The Board of Equalization to fix
the tax rate has submitted ITS report
for the second district. The cash val
ne of the farm lands of the various
counties was fixed as follows:
Christian, $lS per acre ;Daviess, SIT !;
Hancock, 1927 Henderson, $l5; Hop
kins, 81; Union SIT; Webster, 81; Nc
Lean, $3.50. The equalized assessed
value, per acre, is as follows: Chris
tan, $ll.34 instead of $3.50; Davies. )
$l0.7l instead of $l2.67'; Hancock, 1921
instead of 1888; Henderson, $9.45 in
stead of $l00S; Hopkins, $4.4l instead
of $3.50; Mclean, 500 instead OF
1867; Union, $l0.7l instead of $9.63
Webster $44l instead of $3.50.

of the State will be inconsequentlal
The object of the law is to equaliz'
the burdens Of the people. The poor

Ed. SOUTH KENTUCKIAN:
Things are lively here now.
To-day the races commence and
prospects are very tlattering for a
good time. Our town is full of Wis
itors and this week will be the rush.
On Thursday an excursion from Dy-
ersburgh, Tenn, will be seen here,
and doubtless several hundred people
will visit this place. Dawson is very
popular down on the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad. Visitors have come
from these parts, and many have been
restored to health in the last few
years. 1t is fact that persons who
visit Dawson one time are sure to
come again. This has gotten 10 be

marked the most prominent Repubi-
can of this county when he read of
the action of the Independent Repub-
licans, in Wednesdays papers. We
will leave our readers TO conjecture
his identity; suffice it TO say that he
has always been ovcr-sanguine in
his representations heretofore and
is not of respondent turn of mind.
Facts are stubborn things and few, il
any, well.informed men of either
party believe that Blaine Will be
elected.

CARMEL, TENN.
July IA, 1884.

July IA, 1884.
Situated on the Portrayal and Ash
land city road, fourteen miles from
Clarksvlllc and thirty-three from
Nashville, is fair Carmel on the hill.
AS this is the first time we have sent
YOU Carmcl's news it is not necessa-
nv to tell her number of inhabitants.
We are mostly farmers in this part
of the world, make bread by the
sweat of our brows.
Therefore we have no dudes eX-
cept on Sunday only one day in the
week, don't amount to much. The
storm passed over us on the 9th inst.
without doing so much damage as
done in some zee tons. Wheat, oats
and timber were blown down, but
no houses. Blew down seventy large
trees in Johnnie Shearron's tobacco
field. Johnnie don't care for that,
we can easily see he has grown scve-
raj inches in The last few days, be-
cause there is new born baby at his
house.
The farmers are busy saving oats
and hay which are yielding splen-
didly. Wheat is better than known
for many years. We are having fine
weather TO thresh wheat. The mar
ket has opened at Is cents per bushel
No you can't get any soda water IN
GAINESVILLE, they say DR.. Runyon and
Samuel Stegar, of Trenton, were
down few days ago and dranl

NOW YOU WILL HEAR THE DRY BONES" RATTLE!

ty with us last Sunday and jolly
set of boys they were. All the harm
we wish them is that their employ
ers would give them leave of absence
and free ticket for a month each at
this place.
There is some talk of stock CONF
pany building large Sanitarium at
this place. There is not better
place in the south for an institution
of this kind than Dawson, and wei
say God speed the enterprise, and
let it be one that will do honor to the
south.
The ladies at the Arcadia yester-
day made beautiful flag that may
be seen floating from the top of the
we'll house. 1t adds much to the APP
pcarancc of the house and the only
regrets are that the names of Cleve-
land and Hendricks are not lit.
Last night was the grand Ball at
the Arcadia Hotel, and surely it was
a grand affair. The house was ilhm-
mated from cellar to garnet, and the
grounds around were perfectly lovely.
Lanterns of every description with
numerous torch lights and then to
add to the appearance there were
about one hundred flags of different
sizes displayed on. the ground. A
beautiful arch was made over the
walk way, from the railroad platform
to the parlor door of the Hotel. This
was beautifully decorated with many
colors. AT 8 o'clock For,.'s Orchestra
Band pealed forth the best of music
and almost in twinkle, the gallant
beaux might have been seen whirl-
ing their lovely partners in the giddy
dance. All went as happy as mar
riage bell and we are satisfied that
no visitor present will go away from
Dawson without kindly feeling to-
ward the managers, Mr.. j. W.
Pritchett and his accomplished lady,
Nothing was spared by them to make
the occasion pleasant one. Meth
er would we forget the efforts of Miss
Annie Henry and Mr.. Dulin, both of
whom were ever ready to lend some
thing to the pleasure of the evening.
We acknowledge ourselves indeblcd
to the kind hostess for a beautiful
buttOn-hole bouquet.
1t is supposed that the arrivals in
town yesterday were over one hun
dred, and we believe that Dawson
can truly boast of being The watering
place Of Kentucky.
We understand that arrangements
are being made to commence the
manufacture of salts from Mum's
| CClcDTdlCl SullS WCll. We WCiO
shown a sample yesterday prepared
by DIR. Cullom, which was pronounce
ed by every one to be superior to the
crab orchard salts and sufficient
quantity can be made from the wa
ter to realize handsome profit.
J.P. Barnum, the noted chemist
from Louisville, is down here on a
short stay. lie says he has analysed
almost all the water OF different
waters in the State and Dawson is "a
head. lie sees nothing but bright
future for Dawson and the croaker
, who have predicted failure-for thi
place may as well dry up.

Morrow's majority Of 1853 can easily
be overcome and the county placed
in the democratic list. The Republic
cans are arathetic, discouraged and
dispirited and it is not likely thal
much enthusiasm can be worked up
for Blaine. Let's have a meeting
and organize a campaign club and
carry the county for Cleveland.
