A Promising LAWYER.

In one Of the large classes Of young
lawyers that stood the examination
before Judge Marshal, at La Grange,
a few days ago, Green Clay Walker
was admitted to practice at the bar.
Green Clay is gifted with a bright
mind, and In many instances has
proven his oratOrical qualities, having
won first honors In the Blue Grass
Tournament held here a few years
past.
Green CLAY is a son of the late Judge
W. f. Walker and Mrs. Dorcas Walker
aud a brother Of City Attorney L. L.
Walker, OF this place, OF whom too
much could not be said Of his success,
having given satisfaction to the Louis

retained as their attorney for years.
Not wishing to see family divided
against itself, yet We hope "Moon"
will hang out his shingle In Lancaster.
