One of the town Councilman of
Stanford, KY, cut down some shade
trees in front of his store because he
was annoyed by people hitching
horses to them. The Mayor of the
town announces that he will prose-
cute the offending city father to the
extent of the law for defacing the
streets. In Hopkinsville the Board
of Councilmcn voted TO cut down all
trees on Main street, in the business
portion of the city, and neither the
fearful pleadings nor angry protests
of property owners could avail any
thing, and the trees were all removed,
excepting one or two small ones that
are still under sentence and are liza
BILE 10 60 at any time. 1t may be
added that the streets of Hopkinsvillo
are very narrow and no Instructions
are allowed on them. Merchants are
not even permitted to pile goods OIL
the paveMents and no projecting
signs of any kind are allowed. TIT
rigid enforcement OF this ordinanc,
has led some of the merchants L
build their stores two or three fee
back, SO as to give space for display
ing their goods and wares on thei
own ground. Few towns and cite
in Kentucky have their municipa
affairs better managed than Hopkins
vile.

FROM DAWES COUNTY.


The long agony is over, and the
valiants efforts of the well-trained
and disciplined henchmen of Mr.,
Laffoon to horn Mr.. Mckenzie off the
Congressional track have come TO
naught, even the scheme last resorted
to, of bringing out another candidate
from his county, failing. Mr.. Nc
Kenzie is announced by authority to-
day as a candidate for Congress. His
determination to make the race is the
result of the most remarkable pres
sure from all parts of the district,
For weeks and months he has been
deluged with letters from every
county urging him to become a can
didate. This substantial encourage
ment, added to his natural desire to
return TO his old seat in Congress
after four years ofrest, during which
his health and eyesight have been
restored, has prompted him to again
enter the lists and try his mettle on
the old familiar track against the
newcomers who have sprung up dur
ing his retirement. McKenzie's bril-
liant and successful canvasses in 1876
and 1878 against the most powerful
opposition, gave him great prestige
in the district. His career in Con-
grcss and the fame he acquired as an
orator, gave him national reputa'
ton. This, with his personal mag
netism, his depth of information, hii
rare conversational powers, and hi
happy faculty of remembering thu
name and face of every man HI
meets, will ever be a tower o
strength to him in any political fight
We are informed that he will 10

adjourns, desiring to give Mr. LAT

The Southern Live Stock Journal fin
ishes talk about crow in this manner (:
There is a pest far worse than any
crow that attacks our farms and tears up
all it can of the fruits of our labor. 1t is
the demon of laziness. He has been
fought in various ways, yet he gains
ground all the time. He works in very
sly way. He comes and whispers in the
boys ear beautiful story about the
pleasures of city life. Whenever the
sun is hot he points out the pleasant
shade under the trees. He dulls the
conscience by closing the eyes and fore.
ing sleep upon the mind. He comes and
tells the girls that dairy work is vulgar
and that they should not work at all.
There is no one, weak or strong, hi igh or
low, rich or poor, that he does not try to
iniure. How shall we fight him :?
Scarecrows and bells and strings will not
iniure him in the least. We must fright.
en- him, and there is o way to do that.
He is afraid of work, and when lie sees q
man taking off his coat he crawls into
his hold. Tho only way to keep him
away from our farms and homes is to
make labor fashionable, to put intelli-
gence and common sense into it. If we
can do this our homes will be made se'
cure.
