bloody hand for awhile but not so the Hon John S Rhea having been assailed by a mob while driving from Morgantown the home of fugitive Taylor where he spoke that day and nariowty escaped with his life The medi cine he gave tb9in his speech was too bitter though the proper kind from the diagnosis ot the case and they hid on the road and in the dark a time which better suits the assassin to accomplish their hellish purpose and hurledstones at him and his driver weighing as much as ten pounds severely injuring the driver but failing to hit Mr Rhea And when he pro cnred his pistol and

are espy lost to honor that platformit doesent stand to reason It is not consistent w lh the previous record of out state This is enough to cause the angels to weep and make Kentuckians blush to

in tention to so arrange it as to be able to store away a large amount of hay corn oats wheat or any of the farm products and thereby furnish a market for every thing of the kind brought to town They will also build a coal bin which mil bold between 2500 and 3000 bushels and thereby furnish a market for all the coalwhich the local dealers have to dispose of always selling and delivering it for the same price t hat they pay for it If they pay 8cts they sell for Sets This is something our town has been needing for some time so that when the peo ple in the country have anything of that kind to sell they can find a market for it- Heretofore it has been the case if people had any thing to sell they had to run all over town first to find a buyer and next thing was to sell for whatever he felt like he could to pay We are strictly in favor of any and every thing which benefits the farmer because their success is our success and their failure is our failure one cant prosper wiihout the other
