Or. lamar, Of Elkton, County
Health Officer, publishes the fol-
lowing:
Owing to the prevalence Of dIph--
liberia to an alarming degree 10 GER
tain localities in the county, l have
thought it expedient to call the at
tention of the municipal authorities
in the several towns and villages in
the county and of the citizens of the
county in general to the fact and
earnestly urge that such precau-
tionary steps be taken in regard to
strict observation OF sanitary meas
ures such as the removal of all solid
or liquid rcfuse matter about the
home and premises, free use of dis
infectants, &C.. as will restrict and
arrest the extension Of this disease.
To this end would call attention to
an extract from an article full OF
valuable suggestions by DR.. Chan
cellor. Secretary OF the State Board
of Health, which il strictly observed
and carried out will materially aid in
suppressing the dread disease.
CLEANLINESS A REQUISITE.
1.-The poison of measles, scarlet
fever, diptheria, typhoid fever. &c..
is probably meyer wholly extinct in
any community where these diseases
have once prevailed, but their cpl.
demic prevalence only occurs 10
uncertain cycles when the surround
Jugs are favorable for their spread
Such conditions we must diligently
avoid, and of all the means of doing
SO. cleanliness has been found to be
the most direct and trustworthy
People who live in the country OIL
small towns fancy they are exempt
from the unhealthy condition. This
is great mistake. The refuse pro-
ducts of . single family neglected
for few weeks or months will al
most certainly breed mischief. and il
neglected for long period willrendel
the premises as foul as the worst
spot oil crowded city. A tainted
atmosphere may be so poisonous thai
q very little introduced into bed
room, so little as to be quite imper
ceptible to the nose, may give
typhoid fever, diphtheria or scarlet
fever to person sleeping there. W.
do not content ourselves with exclud
ing the great majority ofsparks from
powder magazine-we do our bes,
that not one shall enter. So our en-.
deavor must be that no tainted all
shall exist around or in our dwell
lings. Nothing perfectly clean can
contain germ Of disease. Although
perfect cleanliness may be an unat
tainable ideal. still it is an idea
after which we should strive. Pure
sir. clean water. rapid removal Of all
refuse or foul matters are the great
desiderata for a healthy home."

Many old notions haye long out
lived their usefulness. We are to
day as nation holding fast TO a
notion that has been an absurdity
from the beginning. 1t is this-the
government although possessing the
sole power of creating money cannot
create any for itself but must be q
borrower. This is scarcely greater
than the other, that an interest bear
ing bond is better foundation for
paper money than actual property.

Upon the rcassembling of the Con
vention on Saturday morning, nomi
nations for Auditor were made. A
L. Peterman, of Monroe, naming Capt
Jas. Blackburn. Hon. w. III. Mackey
of Kenton, nominating L. G. Norman
r. G. Warren was placed in nomina
ton by j. d. Black. Wallace McKa,
named Charles S. Green. Upon tht
first ballot, Col. i. G. Norman re
ceived 515 votes, more than a hundred
votes over all competitors. Maj. Ii
S. Hale, candidate for Treasurer, wa'
nominated by acclamation.
In the race for Register of the Land
Office came the fight of the Conven-
ton. There were four candidates
T. III. Corbett, j. Alex. Grant, L. B.
Bullock, G. d. Swango. Sam. j. Sal
yer made a magnificent speech in
nominating Judge Swango. His
many friends from this section, who
had the pleasure of hearing him, came
home, very enthusiastic in their praise
of his effort. Upon the second bal
lot the names of Grant and Bullock
were withdrawn and the field was
left to Swango and Corbett. In the
call of the ballot there was such an
amount of confusion that it was i'm
possible for the Secretary to keep cor
rect tally and for while pandemo-
mum reigned. The ballot had to be
taken over to settle the matter after
two hours had been spent in wrang-
ling over the result of the one az
tempted, and upon the footing up of
this, Swango was declared victor.
Capt. Ed. Porter Thompson was
nominated for Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction and A. Addams for
Clerk of the Court of Appeals. The
ticket is an exceptionally strong one
and will roll up one of the largest ma
jorities ever given in Kentucky.

The extreme dry weather is playing
havoc with our farmers, they having
planted only about half a crop. Some
farmers are not through breaking
ground yet. The corn that has been
planted is growing very little. Grass

stroyed our prospect for fruit; The out
look for the tobacco men is certainly
gloomy plants are doing badly, and
the ground is so dry that it cannot be
put in condition for planting. We
advise those having old crops not to
be in too big hurry about selling, as
this long drought will certainly en-
hance the value of the last years crop

crops are promising a large yield,
whilst prices for grain are ruling very
high. Cattle are also being bought
for summer delivery at good round
prices, with prospect that they will
go still higher. Tobacco, all things
considered, is doing better than for
two years past. In fact it begins 10
