Political Notes.

In the Oxford representative district, CON-
prising Norway, Hebron, and Oxford, the
Republicans will nominate John B. Robin
son, man who probably has the manage
ment of larger business interests than any
other man in the three towns. He is man
of so great personal popularity that even the
Democratic town committee admit he will
get part of the Democratic votes, The
usual Republican majority is in the neigh
borhood of one hundred, and when to this is
added part Of the Democratic votes, his
election appears as certain as anything in
the future can be. The Democrats will put
mp John Faunce, an honest old farmer with
clean record, but man of no legislative
and little business experience. He is nomi-
mated in hope of getting part of the Grand
Army vote as he is member of that organi-
cation. 1t does not seem probable that he
will get any more than the vote of the DEM
ocratic members. and even If he got their
full vote 1t would not be enough to elect him:
will also put up candidate. What votes
he gets will come mostly from the Democrat
lie party.

one-half months labor.
The failure of Mr.. Nudge, the contractor

An Auburn lady says she sold her house
through an agent some time ago, the pur-
chaser binding the bargain by tender of
money. On coming to Auburn she was as
tonished to find she had not only sold the
house but $500 worth of mirrors that had
long been in the family and which she had
no more idea Of selling than she had of SELL
ing other articles of furniture in the house.
she was informed, however, that in the case
OF the sale of house, the law carries with
the house all that is attached to the house by
screws or nails And the mirrors, in this
case, were put up by screws. The buyer
said the mirrors helped sell the house and
they had to go.

At home is tower of strength abroad-says the
familiar proverb, and it is fully verified by the
history of Hoods Sarsaparilla. The first words
of commentator and praise for this medicine
were received from our friends and neighbors, and
from the time it was fairly introduced up to the
present. there has been, and is now, more of
Hoods Sarsaparilla sold in Lowell, Mass, where
1t is made, than of all other sarsaparas and blood
purifiers combined This "good name" among
people who have known Hoods Sarsaparilla and
its proprietors for years should certainly be strong
evidence TO people in other cities and towns Of
the excellence and merit of their medicine.
After the failure Of three skllful physicians to
cure my boy of salt rheum, tried Hoods Sarsa-
parilla and Olive Ointment. have nowiused four
boxes of Ointment, and one and half bottles of
Sarsaparla, and the boy is to all appearances
completely cured. He is now four years old, and

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Feb. s.-The Hon.
Eustace Gibson, OF Huntington, w. Va,
arrived here last night Gibson was for
two terms a member OF Congress and is u
leading lawyer. lie comes for the purpose
Of instituting proceedings in the United
States court to compel the return OF the
nine Hatiields now in Jail in Pike county,
KY, to Logan county, w. Va, TO be tried
for the ofienses committed there. II will
be remembered that Gov Buckner refused
to recognize the rcquisition Of Gov Wilson
for the return OF the men, holding that the
question was one for the courts TO decide.
Gibson says: II simply propose to deal
with the legal. questions involved in the
matter. ! have nothing to do with the
merits Of the fight between the Hatfields
and McCoys. I desire to show that il is q
very dangerous thing to allow the citizens
of one State TO make raids on the citizens
OF another and then prevent the bringing
Of the guilty parties before the proper tri-
bunal for trial. II will certainly result in
a regular border warfare. think the
courts of West Virginia are clearly en-
titled TO them, and will present the law
from our standpoint to Judge Barr"
Mr.. Gibson held consultation with
Judge Barr this morning, and the Judge
set II o'clock tomorrow ms the time 10 hear
the motion for writ Of habeas corpus.
lie went to Frankfort this afternoon to
serve notice on Attorncy-Gencral Hardin
to appear on behalf OF the State OF Ken
lucky.
Mr.. Gibson is afraid that IL the McCoys
take alarm at the possibility that the Hat
fields may be released, the Kentuckians
will assassinate their captives.
One OF the questions involved is the
jurisdiction Of the United States courts.
