morning for their respective
homes.
q r. Henderson, Road Com
missioner Of Logan District, was
looking over the river road on last
Monday. We hope something
will be done to make this read
passable in the near future.
No. !, Vol. ! Of the Racine
Democrat is on our table. Demo-
|cracy improves every thing It
touches, as the patrons of the old
Record will readily see, as they
look upon the bright pages Of. the

poets to spend several months

Rev. J. D. Garrett, Of Wayne
G. H., was in town last week in
the interest of the marble works
| of III. N. Hambleton, of Hunt
ington. Mr.. Garrett is not only
a fine preacher, and first class
gentleman, but as a salesman he
is a hustler and never allows the
grass to grow under his feet. He
expects to be here again at our
April Circuit Court.
DIR. French reports SIX cases of
a very low type Of fever in our
over crowded Jail. The Jail was
condemned two years ago, and is
entirely unfit to crowd men into.
The authorities of the town should
devise some means at once to pre-
vent the spread of the fever, and
for the benefit of the persons con-
fined. Some way should be had
to give ventilation to the old
structure.
The Racine Democrat brings us
the intelligence of the killing Of
James SAMSON by Everett Wiley
at the camp of nj. d. Cameron
in Boone county. Itappears from

No license is granted in Boone,
and the blood Of James SAMSON
doubtless rests upon some one
who has been selling liquor in
defiance of law.
At an exhibition some time ago
given at Ironton, Ohio. the Iron

several prominent men, and then
the reversible head of donkey.
Prof. Milton leads the van. Do
not fail to see him at the School
House, Friday night, Feb. 9th.
Some two weeks ago negro
woman was killed by negro man
at the railroad camps on Laurel in
this county. After committing
the murder, which was done in
the presence Of several negroes,
he was permitted to walk off with
out being molested. The negroes
along the line of the road are
daily committing all kinds of
crime, but so far none have been
brought to justice. Are these the
kind of men who are to rule the
State in the near future.
