Saddlery-

The time of year approaches now
when farmers should fit themselves up
for Spring plowing. They should look
over their last years stock of gearing
and see if they need anything I'm the
way of harness, names, collars, back
bands, trace chains, &c, and have them
ready for the plow. In doing this they
should have an eye open to economy
and select the best goods for the least
money. The inquiry arises then where
to buy, ard the answer invariably is, of
John I. Smith, Jr, Fordsville, manu-
fscturer of saddles, brides, harness, &c.,
and dealer in whips, blankets, collars,
names, trace chains, &C., dc. If you
live in reach of Fordsville give Mr..
Smith call. All work guar anteed as
represented.

Our Sutton correspondent has sent
us description of Ohio County, which
for lack of room we cannot publish. He
mentions the great and diversified in.
terests of the county, its soil, timber,
mineral wealth, water ways, etc; and
says Hartford is a small place but desir
able to live in, where there is good
school, and where there are moral, re-
lgious and undeceitful citizens who do
all they can to make one feel at home.
Our county is very healthy, and con-
secrated as the home of many beautiful
and fascinating young women.

Sharon and His Family Troubles.

A San Francisco letter says: Despite
the fact that Judge Sullivan has decided
in favor of Sarah Althea and says Sharon
must pay alimony and counsel fees, the
position of the fair plaintiff is not a
pleasant one. She has seen not a single
cent of this money, and there is no i'm
mediate prospect that she will handle
any Of Sharon's coin. The ex-senator
has got his case into the Federal Court,
on the strength of his residence in
Nevada, and from there he will be able
to appeal it to the higher court should
the decision again be In her favor. She
has quarreled with her leading counsel
and cannot expect the same devoted SER
vice which he gave her on the first trial.
She is constantly shadowed by detec-
tives, as Sharon claims that she will at
tempt to escape when the web of testi-
mony closes in upon her. He has sworn
a mighty oath that he will never rest
until he sees the doors of San Quentin
Prison close upon her, and he is an
enemy whom any one may fear.
