{ The Rounds of the Business Manager.
t LIBERTY. KY, June 3-Another sil
a months has rolled around anu Snothe
"big court" is in session, and eXcepun.
. those uniortunates who have don,
a.. those things they should not have done
2 and LETT undone many things they
should" the "Caseyite" is glad OF it
, This they showed bv large attendance
: Monday and further evinced 10y staying
from early dawn till the last beam Ia
ded" trying, as it were, to make the big
/, gest day possible OF it. The first day OF
circuit court is indeed an important
event in Liberty for it is about the only
time the smaller politicians can mingle
with the bigger guns; the granger gets
more chance to converse with his broth.
er tiler Of the soil and the festive beau
is dead certain to see his best girl in or
about town. They all come To town,
they all enjoy themselves As well! and
considering this. il is not a wonder why
the Jam and hustle OF circuit cour; is an
ticipated.
Liberty has no; risen Phoenix like
from the recent FIRE, and am sorry 20
say, will not for perhaps years 10 come.
: The loss to some OF those burned ont was
their all and the consequence Is they are
not able 70 start up again. Messrs ). w.
/ Whip and Il. r. Pierce will build, how
ever and the latter has already put mp
a Temporary building where he is selling
goods. Mr. Whip, who is perhaps the
oldest merchant in town, Is comfortably
located in private house, with goods
spread from parlor 10 kitchen and up
stairs and down. The town presents a
lonely and forlorn appearance with the
best buildings gone and the thought OF
the loss sustained by those who have
worked for decades and now everything
gone, makes il look gloomy in the ex'
IRENE. Fire in nine cases out OF ten i'm
proves a place, but believe Liberty is
the exception. The loss was too much
and wears will have come and gone be-
fore the burden OF its yoke shall have
left.
Court convened at 10 o'clock Monday
morning, with Mr.. j. W. Ierkes, OF
Danville, Judge pro TEN. The usual GO
ing over the docket, selecting jurors and
addressing the grand jury was done.
The criminal docket is unusually heavy
and several important cases will be tried.
Perhaps the one attended by most anx-
ety and interest is that of Robert Clem-
ents for the shooting and killing Of his
wife, several weeks ago near Chelf S
Ridge. The shooting, it will be remem-
bered, was at first thought accidental,
but Clements careless actions together
with threats that he intended to kill his
wife, have lead the majority TO believe
that it was a cold-bloOded murder. The
civil docket amounts to little or
nothing, thus speaking well for the
county in that particular.
The grand Jury will, as usual, devote
most Of its time to whisky cases and .
come out OF the small end OF the horn as
it generally does. Passmore, who is a
walking distillery, blind.tiger and any
thing else that pertains to the selling OF .
whisky, can outwit dozen grand juries
and they had Just as well let him 90. .
He is a slick citizen and it is authentic
ally stated that he can carry from D TO 10
gallons OF moonshine in his pockets
without attracting the least attention.
A convention for the naming Of demo
Gratis 10 fill the various county offices is
called for Saturday next. 1t is TO be
hoped that they will not get into such a
wrangle as the republicans, nor be as
badly disrupted as the &. o. p. Of this
county is at present. IL now looks like
il will be Judge, w. NJ. MYERS; county
clerk, G.. A. Prewitt; assessor, j. A. Mi
nor, with the school superintendent and
iailers race in doubt. They are all good
men and the county will do itself proud
il it sees that they are elected.

friends have had. The male and female
voices were both good and the instru-
