l append a few items herewith
which, if your paper is not too much
crowded with more important news,
you might find little space for.
News items are rather scarce at pres
ent as people are attending more to
their farming operations now than
anything else. Much plant ground
has been sown and all are making
preparations for large acreage of to-
bacco. Most farmers in this vicinity
are canvasing their plant beds. How
our grand fathers would have laugh
ed at such an ideal But the motto of
the present day is progress" Farm
ing in by gone days was kind of
"go as you please" "hit Or miss" husi-
ness and man was satisfied with
small returns, land was worked until
worn out and then new land was
cleared and the old turned out, but
in these days Of progressive farming
with costly machinery, patent fertil-
izers and improved appliances of all
kinds it is looked upon more as
business venture and the outlay is
considered, and loss and gain careful
ly counted. There is as much marked
improvement in farming as any 9TH
er operation in the world.
The warm spring weather recently
was very productive of grass and
candidates. Our new precinct here
(No. ICY is actually burdened with
candidates for magistrate; there are
as yet but two for constable but very
likely more to follow. Get on the
track boys but remember somebody
must be ditched, but as the sleeping
fox catches no poultry, even SO the
sleeping candidate catches no votes.
learn that there is an organiza-
ton of the Knights Of Labor in Hop
kinsville. Wells 1 am a laboring
man and as such my sympathies are
with the laboring men, but l am
afraid these same Knights of Labor
are going to prove the truth of the
old adage: "Give the devil rope
enough and he will hang himself"
1t is natural for men TO rebel and
strike for justice but that is no justi-
fication of the destruction of proper
ty. No doubt railroad companies
aud other corporations are oppressive
on their employees, but that does not
give the employees. the right to de-
stroy the company's bridges, engines,
etc.. Again it would be we'll enough
to know that the employer is able to
pay more wages before demanding
more. and then be careful not to de-
mand excessive pay. A man should
have all his labor is worth and no
more, is the opinion of
WEAVER.

Judge Dulaney has withdrawn
from the race for Judge of the Court

Withdrawing:

of that court, couched in kindest
terms. Hitherto my official duties
that 1 did not feel at liberty to put
aside, have demanded nearly all my
time and l thought that when the
general committee met and fixed the
time, place and methods of the con-
vention, l would probably make ur-
gent effort to win what 1 sincerely
desire and what l value as the chief
est place within the gift of the peo-
Pile. That committee has acted and
the time gwen for the canvass and
the method named for the selection OF
delegates, makes it impossible for me
to win, for 1 have never been in

Mr.. Straus, who has introduced
more good bills that any other mem
Der of the House, is now trying to Sc
cure the passage of a whipping-post
bill. 1t provides that wife heaters
and thieves who steal less than $25
shall be punished by the infiction of
30 stripes upon their bare backs. This
is good bill and its passage will not
only save the State thousands of
dollars by lessening the number of
convicts, but it will do great deal
towards putting a stop to steal
ing. Ofcourse there will be chicken
hearted sentimentalists to cry out
against the "relic of barbarism," but
we hope to see the bill become a law.
There is about as much "barbarity"
in the country nowadays as there has
ever been and there is a crying de-
mand for "barbarous" remedies to
put stop to some of it.
