As to the Hon. d. r. Murray and the
Hon. d. II. Sewers questioning our Dem
ocracy, we'll compare notes and votes
with either OF them. For the last twen-
ty years we have been supporting, vot-
ing and helping both Of the honorable
gentlemen in every race they have ever
made in this county. We supported Mr..
Murray in his race for the Senate in
which he was elected. In his race
against the Hon. Gas. Blandford, in h:s
race against the Hon. A. B. Montgomery,
in his race against the Hon. d. II. Smith
and in his race against the Hon. r. M.
Jolly, we were found voting and fighting
for him. And upon no occasion have we
ever failed TO say or print good word
for our fellow townsman. And just why
he should at this time seek to array the
prejudices OF the people against us and
break down our business, we can not I'M
derstsnd. But If Dave pops up again,
which is quite likely he will do, it is
more than probable that we will be
found supporting him again.

Court House and endorsed the Louisville

therefore opposed to the principles Of

driven into il just yet awhile. Neither
will we be dictated to by few politicians
who have been disappointed in their

again that we expected to affiliate with
the Democratic party, aud the resolu-

A MAN from Louisville came to this
county last week to look at farm. He
liked the place, II suited him, the price
was all right but the trade was all knock
ed in the head for the reason that there
was no road from IL over which he could
haul a load of chickens TO the station
This man would have brought about
$4,000 in cash with him. Our farmers
will learn after while that good roads
mean something, especially when they
want to sell their farms.
