Hunter Bowen, the genial gentleman
who presides over, and directs the
course of operations at the Fitzpatrick
Bros. saw mill in the coal regions Of
eastern Wyoming, which have attracted
such widespread notoriety during the
past year, was among the arrivals in
this city from that locality on Saturday.
Mr.. Bowen remained in this place until
Tuesday, and expressed himself as be-
ing greatly pleased with the beauty of
the place, and the social character of our
people. During his stay he visited a
number of the prominent tin mines ad-
jacent to this place, which he did not
hesitate to pronounce first water daisies,
which cannot be excelled, if equaled in
any other locality. We acknowledge
our obligations to Mr.. Hunter for a very
pleasant carriage drive to the Custer tin
mine, one Of the most prominent loca-
tons embraced in the famous Tin Reef
group, and also a number of other very
promising locations on what is known
as the Park, two or three miles north
west of this place, upon which occasion
the company of r. S. Lewis and Don
Macdonald greatly added to the meas
urs of u enjoyment by reason of their
ready relation of a number of the latest
and most thrillingly amusing anecdotes
that has yet reached the ear of the
public. Mr.. Fl. informs us that he has
now about fifty men employed in con-
nection with the saw mill, and hat a
very large amount of lumber is being
sawed to meet the large demand in the
future. which is alre ady we'll assured.

Miss Maude Crusen, of this place, vas
the delighted recipient of a sure enough
Ostrich egg on Monday from a friend in
California. The egg was beautifully
ornamented with a landscape painting,
artistically done by hand, in which a
pair of full grown ostriches were shown.
The present was highly appreciated by
Miss Maude, as it should be for it's great
attractiveness, exceptional novelty, and
as a token of the high esteem in which
she is evidently held by the donor. We
acknowledge a pleasant call, and an
interesting view of the rare curio.

Mr.. c. Thompson, the Black Hills
n%urseryman, came in from his nursery
on Box Elder, on Wednesday with the
finest lot Of trees and shrubs ever deliv-
cred in this place. 1t is now beginning
to be we'll understood by the people of
this place that native grown trees are
far more desirable for printing here
than those obtained from abroad, as ex-
perience has shown that their growth il
more rapid. and that the per cent Of loss
is insignificant as compared with those
grown even in the bordering states
Mr.. Thompson has found a fair markeI
for his trees in this place, and we are
pleased to say, that they are, thus far
growing luxuriantly.

The Trigg Telephone in its COM
ments upon Christian county's race
for coroner does DIR. Lillard an in
justice. lie is not representative OF
the Ignorant and debased element of
his race" but is doctor of good ca
pscity, well educated and gentleman
ly in his bearing. He is one Of the
most respectable colored men in this
city. lie was nominated for coroner
not because he was an office-seeker,
but, as the KENTUcKIAN has hereto
fore had occasion to remark, ''for
political effect" In the convention
DR.. w. X. Nisbet's name was first
proposed, but when some one sug-
gested DR.. Llllard, DR.. Nisbet's name
was withdrawn and the coloredsman
nominated and subsequently elected
although 400 white Republicans
refused to vote for him. BY reason
Of his ineligibility, he cannot fill the
Office but the KENTUoKIAN has no
hesitancy in testifying 10 his good
character and his standing as ply
stefan and citizen. If the time has
come for colored men to hold office,
DIR. Lillard is far better qualified for
public duties than most of his color.

WILL YOUNG JOHN GET LEFT

WILL YOUNG JOHN GET LEFT?
The Greensboro Messenger of Sun.
day says:
The Messenger has the best author
ity possible for the statement, which
1t now makes, that Mr.. jolly will not
recommend the appointment Of Mr..
John Feland, Jr., to the Assistant
District Attorneyship.
The Messenger has the knowledge
that promise was made
to Mr.. Feland by Mr.. jolly of his
recommendation. This promise was
made, however, long before Mr.. John
Feland, ST., had been appointed col.
lector, and even before he was known
to have made any application or
manifested any desire TO do 30.
The father of Mr.. John Feland, Jr.,
having been appointed collector at
salary of "a, 800 per annum, with his
son, Mr.. W. S. Feland, as chief dep
uty, at a salary Of $1,000, and, mas
much as, in the event Of any viola
ton or alleged violation of law by
the collector, it would be the duty of
the District Attorney TO prosecute
him, and of the assistant to render
necessary aid, 1t would not only be
indelicate TO appoint Mr.. John Fe-
land, Jr., to the position in question,
but would subject, not only Mr.. Jol-
ly but the Felands also, to deserved
criticism, and would certainly be
contrary to the spirit of the law.
1t is not known whether Mr.. John
FeIaud, Jr., whose personal eligibil-
ity for the position nobody with
knowledge of his ability and culture
will deny, will persist in asserting
his claim, based as 1t is on prom
ise made by Mr.. Jolly before the del
icate complications referred to had
arisen, and which the latter gentle
men intended TO carry out with i'm
plicit good faith, but every sincere
friend of both men would hope, In
view of the publications that have
been made that he will at once noti-
fly Mr.. jolly OF his absolution from a
promise the conditions of which are
now manifestly impossible of fulfill
ment.
We are of course not authorized to
say what recommendation Mr.. Jolly
will make, but we know that he has
the highest opinion of the entire fit
ness of Mr.. George Duielle for the
position and we venture the predic-
ton with all confidence that he will
receive Mr.. Jolly's recommendation
for the office which will amount of
course, to his appointment.

Prof J. J. Nall, of Lyon county,
who defeated W. M. Reed, of Mar.
shall, for representative, lie a Demo
crat and was nominated by his coun.
ty. For some reason Marshall de-
cllned to 90 into joint convention,
but put out a candidate of her own.
Seeing this division, the Wheelers
aud Republicans each nominated a
candidate and 1t was in this four-cor-
nered race that Prof. Nall won the
fight, beating the foremost man 256
votes. He is about 40 years old, a
teacher of long experience, and his
Democracy can be voucbed for when
1t is known that he was born at Fair

The editors Of the Lexington Lead

The editors of the Lexington Lead
er, the Republican organ ofthe state,
are Ohio men who have been taught
To believe that tho south continues
solid by the grace of bayonets and
shotguns. They have had an oppor-
tunity TO see colored men vote the
Democratic ticket in their own town
and now hasten to raise the cry Of
corruption. The following are ex-
tracts from an editorial in one of last
weeks papers: "Black men were
purchased in open market like flocks
OF III, ep, and voted at side doors aud
rear windows with the ease and reg
ulariiy Of clOckwork, while decent,
reputable citizens could not get with
in hailing distance OF the voting
place." "The Leader has no hesitancy
l declaring that in the city of Lex
ington more negroes voted for Mr..
Mulligan than whites, and he owes
his election to the colored race"
I'VE aare defeated, but 1t was by the
VIII )lesalo purchase of poor, misers-
bic colored neu, who have no souls
above the flask OF whisky or paltry
pittance of money doled out 10 them
by interruptions politicians" How
do the colored people like the Lead
er's estimate Of them contained lin
the last extract? 1t is oil well
enough as long as they vote the Re
publican ticket, but when they chang,
their political principles they become
miserable creatures .wiih no souls
above the flask of whisky, etc."
