All OF these properties show eneourag'
ing values which will unauestionably
greatly increase with depth, and therein
lies the chief merit of the country whose
towering hills stand at an angle OF IS de.

attain great depth at comparatively
small outlay OF labor and cash.

JUST HOW YOU LOOK AT 1T.

If person reads the Courier
Journal and other Democratic pa
pers, the next election viii be a
walkover for their side of the
house.
They say that the Sound Money
Democrats, as well as the Brown
Democrats are now in line for the
party; that everything is lovely
and the fowl hangs altitudinous;
that Beckham's election is assured;
that everything is working as slick
as grease; that Beckham has tre-
mendous crowds to hear him and UNI
bounded enthusiasm marks his way.
But the thing hard to understand
is that the Republicans and Brown
Democrats are just as positive and
enthusiastic that things are all
coming their way. They say that
Yerkes has the largest crowds that
ever assembled at the different
places at which he appears; that
the Gold Bug Democrats are just as
firm as ever i'm their opposition;
that the Brown Democrats are just
getting well in a fighting humor;
that they are more indignant and
strenuous against Beckham than
they were against Goebel, because
he is enjoying the benefits of an
office to which he was not elected;
that hundreds of Goebel men who
voted for him, simply because he
was the nominee, last year will not
condone the outrages that were
committed under the infamous Goe-
bel law, and will vote for Yerkes.
How to reconcile these conflicting
statements is what puzzles the
plain, everyday, honest man. We
guess the real fact is that somebody
has done some talking through
his hat, - and that a lot Of whis-
Ting to keep up courage is being
done.
Our advice to our readers is to
look at the matter from sober and
intelligent point of view; find out
which party will do the most for
the best interests of the people who
are not politicians; then quietly
cast your ballots for the men who
represent the side your reflections
convince you is right, and see that
your ballot is counted.

LOOK OUT FARMERS.

A swindle is reported from vari-
Gus parts of the country Of which
farmers will do well TO beware.
The agents offer a churn which
they claim will increase the yield OF
butter from any given quantity OF
milk, and they offer to prove this
assertion. Chemicals, it appears,
are slipped into the milk and
cream when the purchasers back
is turned, and the butter comes
more quickly and in greater volume
than it usually does on the prem
ises invaded. OF course the result
ant mass is not pure butter, but the
agent collects his money and de-
parts before the fraud is discov-
cred.
