their property go into other hands
which will be free from this embar
rassment. The sale will take place
next month. 1t is sincerely HOPED
that some parties will buy this val

generally as good. Nature has pour
ed out her blessings in every way.
We have the largest and the besl
crops of tobacco, wheat and corn
Fruits of all kinds were never more
abundant or Of better quality, and
when you kill the fat turkey next
month, let IL be the biggest one you
have, and then give thanks TO God
and remember the poor.

Owensboro, which has had more
substantial growth than any city in
