A Fine Speech.

One of the best political speeches
delivered in Lancaster during the
present campaign was that of Col. Da-
vid G. COlSOn, at the Court House, last
Thursday afternoon. Col. COlSOn is a
gentleman whom it is pleasure to
listen to, and his speech was highly
cOmplimented by all who heard him.
He has many warm friends i'm LancaS-
ter, who are delighted to see him re-
covering his health and strength. He
spent the night at his sisters, Mrs. w.
b. Moss, on Lexington street, and left
Friday for HarrOdsburg. Col. COlSOn

Court Day.

An average crowd was in town Mon
day. Complaints of the drOuth were
heard on all hands, and many said
they were driving stock for miles to
water. Business with the merchants
was fairly good, but the continued
warm weather caused trade with the
clothing men to be rather dull for
November court. Notwithstanding
the fact that the election is only two
weeks off. not much talk on the SUBJ
ject was heard. Most of the crowd
heard the speaking and each orator
was listened to by many of both par
ties. The tigers having had a bow
knot tied in their tails, no drunkenness
was noticed. save from the few "reg-
ular" DRINKS who celebrate each cOun-
ty court by tanking up. Taking it up
one side and down the other, it was a
rather tame day for the time of year.

Plenty OF OratOry.

Public speakers were as thick in

family, Senator Joe Blackburn did not
fill his appointment, and Messrs w. J..
Price, of Danville, and VIM. Smith
and Richard Miller, of Richmond. fill
ed his date in the forenoon. A large
crowd heard them, and they were
loudly cheered and complimented on
their arguments in behalf of demOc
racy, both state and national. At one
O'Clock, Hon. Wood G. Dunlap, for
mer Lancaster man, now of Lexington,
spoke on behalf of the republican tick
ct. and we have heard many compli-
mentS on his effort. All the speeches
were free from the "hlood and thun-
der" usually fired into such speeches,
and nothing abusive was used by
either. The crowds were orderly and
attentive, and nothing occurred to
create the least excitement.

A Dry Town.

For the past week, Lancaster has
been as near dry town as it is pos
sible to have under local option law.
If there has been any drunkenness,
those enjoying their cups have re-
NAMED off the streets and kept quiet.
Mr.. Turner has done effective work,
and the ladies are to be congratulated
on their recent warefare on the tigers.
There has been no shooting on the
streets at night. and after ten o'clock
the town is as quiet as a country grave
yard. Keep up the good work, and
give the law breakers no quarter.
When Mr.. Turner was appointed, he
went to each man suspicioned, and
told him that he had best draw in
his horns, for if any more booze was
sold, the seller would be landed be-
hind the bars, and that in short order.

times in the Court House and was lis
tened to by crowd. He has been
holding services every morning at six
O'Clock on Battle Row, and in prayers
and talks urged that the denizenS of
