Henry Freese, colored, was hanged
at Catlettsburg Friday, in the pres
ence of 1000 persons, for the murder
of Chester Honaker. He neither
confessed or denied his guilt, merely
saying on the scaffold: "Friends, |
bid you all goodbye. I hope to
meet you all in better world. Good
bye" His neck was not broken and
he died from strangulation.
Last May Honaker and party of
men attempted to gain admission to
a house of ill-repute at Catlettsburg
and were denied. Their efforts to
break in caused a woman to leave
the house by the back door and 90 in
search of an Officer. Meeting Freese
she asked him to 90 for the marshal.
lie responded that he was marshal
enough for that party, and went
with the woman to the house, enter
ing through rear door. Once in
side he fired through the door, kill
ing Honaker and wounding two of
his companions. He was promptly
arrested, indicted, tried and convict
ed within few days. This was the
only legal execution ever occurring
in Boyd county.

Western Kentucky and the sena-
torship.
louisville Post.l

If Western Kentucky hopes to gel
the next Senatorship her leading mer
cannot compose their differences and
come to an understanding too soon
That section has been long neglected
and even despised by the dominant
Bluegrass influence, and the contempt
with which its aspirants have been
treated is due chiefly to two causes
the raDcorous rivalries of its leaders
and the selfish intrigues of the petty
politicians who have been sent to rep
resent those counties In the conven-
tions and in the Legislature.
The differences among the former
have been bitter and Incorporating,
while the latter have kept their ears
open to every bid made by the cum
ming tricksters of the Bluegrass, who
have been profuse in their promises
when they wanted the aid of the Wes-
tern delegations, and scornfully in
different to them after their objects
have been accomplished. The dupes
seem to learn nothing from experience
Each convention and each Legislature
has illustrated the folly of their cre-
dulity. They breathe threatenings
and hatreds for short time, but they
return to the same crib to be fed again
with the same husks of worthless
promises and violated pledges. All
they get is few nauseous pufTs from
the newspaper organs of the dominant
clique, which are sent home marked
to be re-published in their local pa
pers. These they hug to their bosoms
as so much Immortality, and vainly
imagine themselves great statesmen
and brilliant orators. 1t is pitiful to
see this ever-recurring illustration of
weakness and conceit, and TO note the
poor fruit it bears.
1t is idle to tell them that Western
Kentucky is over-taxed; that all dis
ordinations are made against their
section, and none in its favor; that
the fine turnpikes ofCentral and East
ern Kentucky have been constructed
at their expense; that they pay as
high tax on some of their horses,
worth seventy-five dollars, as a rich
farmer in Bluegrass pays on thor
oughbred that would bring $4,000
any day under the hammer, and that
they even pay the expense of keeping
up several Eastern counties. What's
all that compared to the promise of
an irresponsible Upper Kentucky pol
itician who assures first one credu-
lous fool and then another that he
shall be put on the next State ticket
as Auditor or Attorney-Ge or
perhaps as Lieutenant Governor
1t is more than probable that West
ern Kentucky can elect the next SEN
ator if her Representatives will act in
something like harmony and concen-
trate upon a strong man, of whom
there are several. But it is idle to
hope for success otherwise.

The tobacco crop will be inferior to
that raised last year. In the Fairview
and Laytonsville districts tobacco has
frenched, owing to superabundance
ofrain some weeks ago. So those
who are counting on good tobacco
crop may prepare themselves to be
disappointed.
In my last communication the typo
who set it up made mistake. In
stead of "Jno. w. Wicks is not occu-

been ''he now occupies his new
