Ohio County. Kentucky.

Hartford is the county seat of Ohio
county. 1t is situated on Rough river, s
miles from its junction with Green river
3 miles from the Chesapeake, Ohio X
Southwestern railroad. The county is
about 40 miles square, contains 5000
voting population, and has no govern
ment or railroad land. Some PA miles
of railroad run through the county.
Farming lands are worth from S6 to S25
per acre, according to improvements,
The soil is adapted to corn, wheat, oats,
tobacco and all kinds of cereals and
fruits of most all kinds. Large bodies
of fine timber, inexhaustible coal
deposits, iron ore and stone are to be
found, and invite development. No
bonds are outstanding against the
county, and none are likely to be issued
soon. A survey by the government is
being made of Rough river preparatory
to building locks and dams, that will
make this county a good point for
manufactories.-T.J j. SMITH, IN the Chi

There are several gentlemen in Ohio

DO you know who is the author of

the enterprise ?
One feature of it seems not to be so
commendable Any citizen, howsoever
obscure he may be, who will agree to
pay twelve dollars and fifty cents for
this History, has his biography imme-
diately written under the mistaken
belief that he is distinguished citizen.
Is there not some fraud i'm this ? In a
word, MIR. Editor, what / want to
know is this, will you say to the
people that this enterprise is fair
transaction, and that there is nothing
about il but what is regular and proper?
