About.
"rhe State OF Casey" ia such a oniet
country and her citizens are 80 law-sbid-
ing that it is hardly necessary 10 hold
circuit c)urt there more than once a
year. Tbs docket OF the court which
convened Monday contained neither a
murder case nor an important one OF any
kind and the lawyers thereabouts are
getting uneasy lest their profession will
not prove sustaining even in Liberty
where whole family can get board at
the beat MOTEL for something less than
tlG per month.
A fairly good crowd was ia town Mon
day, hat nobody seemed TO be busy
Three patent medc men were on
hand, but even their wares we're not in
great demand. In fact money is scarce in
Casey and the good times promised IN
the event Mckinley was elected haven't
arrived rs anybody has heard of. An
other trouble just now is the saw mill
men and lumber dealers haven't gotten
returns for shipments made during the
past few months and as Casey is support
ed TO a considerable extent by bel. lum.

spoke of three patent medicine men
being on hand. but failed to mention
that one OF the most successful was An
derson Csrr, OF Stanford. He sold more
medicine than either OF his competitors
and actually made man hear who had
been deaf for 10 years This was good
advertisement, for his great cure-sll aud
had times been easier he probably would
not have been able TO haul all OF his mon
ev home in spring wagon. Carr is a
tirst-rlte talker aud will rival the late DR..
Lighthall IL he continues 10 improve.
County politics Was the subject OF
much talk smoug the republicans, bat
the democrats had very little to cay. In
fact politics is an unplessant subject to
Ossey's democrats who were "snowed
under" by a majority of $50 only about
month agD. There will bs three csudi-
dates for county Judge, viz Judge j. NJ.
riliord, present incumbent, ex-Judge
Raines and the former chairman OF the
county committee, Mr.. f. Pierce Com
b st. lt will be battle royal between
th"se three aud the gentleman who wins
may we'll consider himself the strongest
IA 4n 10 the county. There will be
scramble for the rest OF the offices and il
would take more space than the ] can
spare 10 give the names of all thols who
want 10 serve their country.
Time hasn't wrought many changes
since nv last visit to Casey Liberty
looks ~ she did in August except that
she has improved to the extent OF one
house. County Attorney q. q. Godbey
had II built and 1t is the most modern in
appearance in town. Mr.. q. X. Osden,
the clever manager OF the Napier store,
has con, some improving too and is also
deserving OF congratulations.
About the worst news heard while in
Casey was that Mr.. j. w. Loving, our
efficient Liberty correspondent, would
l-sye next week for New Orleans TO re-
side. A fine gentleman in every sense
OF the word. a Chesterfield in manners
aud democrat 10 the core, he will be
generally missed bys people who have
learned to love him during his several
years stay in their midst.
DR. R,dclids's show Was still holding
the boards the third week. The COM
pany consists of four white people. a Ne.
gro band OF six performers, four hairless
dogs and 80 on aud how they have man
aged to keep soul and body together in a
town the size of Liberty for 40 long is
mystery can not solve. Such a show
would get stranded in Stanford the SEE
Dad night.
Os Portmap, who probably has done
mole counting t-sn any other young
man in town, was married las, week TO
Miss Mollie Montgomery, a sister of Ed.
]. O. Montgomery, formerly OF Lincoln.
They drove TO Hustonville. where Rev.
B. j. Pinker,oa made them one.
Master Commissioner f. p. Combes,
sold the q. w. Ooppage farm on Rolling
Fork Monday TO ]. b. Rsyne arson for g,
1856; a good price considering every
thing
For the first time in score of years
Judge r. j. Breckenridge, OF Danville,
failed to attend court, having been de-
tanned at home bv ms wife's illness. 1t
didn't look like court without him end
his old friend, John Moore, insists that
any business transacted this term will be
illegal because OF his absence.
Mr.. James O. Coulter, VINO lives near
Middleburg, is having a regular palace
built. 1t will discount any residence in
Casey county in elegance and is large
enough for hotel. II is whispered that
he will taSe all OF his poor kiniolks TO
live with him-especislly those who W.
