Exaggerated Talk Of Election
Frauds.

The bitter partisaDs Of this country,
especially IN Kentucky. have fallen in
to the grevous custom of charging
fraud and corruption ON their opponents
in election matters. and that is notably
true when an election result proves to
be close. Men who would risk their
property and lives on the integrity and
honesty of a neighbor or fellow citizen
in business, somehow or other are work
ed up to the belief that that same neigh
Dor immediately becomes an incarnatc
scoundrel when me happens to be an
election officer. In this connection IL
is refreshing to read the interview pub
published with 4. ID. Hill. the Repub-
lican U. S. District Attorney for Ken
lucky. Mr.. Hill says that as far as he
can learn 1.-THE election was the fairest
ever held in Kentucky and that In his
opinion what are alleged to be frauds
are unintentional mistakes Of ignorant
election officers. The Courier has no
doubt that Mr.. Hin is correct as to the
last and former elections. Not that
there are not. sometimes. planned, pre-
meditated frauds, ON one or the other
or both sides, and where such occur in
vestigations and punishments should
follow. but planned fraud is the except
ion, and the officers Of the election gen
orally are honest and commit no inten-
tional frauds. OF course the partisans.
newspapers and .embittered politicians
raise the shout Of fraud, fraud, and keep
il MP from start 10 finish, and thereby
get honest men to become inflamed In
feeling and distrustful of each other.
But, in all truth and fairness, 30 per
cent Of such cries, are mean hnmbug-
gerry. and ISLANDERS upon the people, the
Democrats and Republicans.

1t is with a melancholy feeling
that L pen you the departure of
1850, which has been consigned to
the bundless relms of the past.
The year has been fraught with al
most innumerable blessings. None
of us can look back over it without
remembering many moments of
pleasure. With what unalloyed
bliss at this moment comes back to
us the memory of the rich golden
days of spring, since the present
approach of winter. There are in
deed many things for which we in
dividually and as people should
be devoutely thankful.
Before L forget it, will say that
it was all mistake about Charley
Jamison being found during the
recent cold snap frozen to death be-
tween here and Letart. Only froze
two of his ears off.
Since the cold and disagreeable
weather set in Old Town City
shows difference appearance.
The mason's sledge, trowel and
pick has been laid on the shelf;
the carpenters saw, hammer and
other tools have been properly
cared for and looked up in the chest
to await the approach of, spring,
and then again you will hear the
sound of mechanics tools through
valley, hilltops and plains from
morn to evening. Old Town is
going to be the fourishing little
burg of the county before many
years. There has been several lots
now sold and several moro will be
sold in the spring. We have it
from good authority that there is
syndicate coming from the East
to erect large plant for the man.

Capt. "Buok" Hughes, of your
city, has a voluptuous notion of go
ing into business here in the spring
in the way of leasing the Machir
race track and converting it into a
summer resort, and if he can get q
Ferris wheel to move out here early
in the season, it's go sure.

man has been spending week

Mr.. Henry Stewart has just com

ranged barns in the county. The

horses, cattle and sheep is warm

ter has about completed the build
ing of house for Mr.. Thomas
Hogg, up the Greek.
DR.. Girard, the man who cures
when we get sick, has had n tough
time of it during the cold and dis
agreeable weather, as he has been
on the road most all the time.
Though it seems he can stand more
cold than any of the rest of us, or
he would have been dead long ago
With many good wishes and
about twelve months of good luck
