The SpcnUiug Jlonilay.
The candidates were on hand at the
County Court on Monday last, and held
forth to a good audience, considering thai
our farmers are at this time so fully occu
pied in getting control of the Weeds.
MR. SAM mfi.
appeared, not as a politician, but at the in"
stance of a number of friends of all -Classes,
as a candidate for the Legislature. He
was a 'Democrat in every sense that was
essential. He favored a convention toTe
vise the State constitution. He was
against the ten per cent, interest law. He
was against non-residents filing descrip
tive lists of land. On the other hand, he
was in favor of reducing expenditures, of
obedience of officers to the laws, and re
ductions of all exttavagance.
Ilockersayshe was"brought out." He
belongs to the Grangers. He (Hill) be
lieved in the Grangers if they will carry
out the objects they profess to strive for.
ne understood they were not political,
but for the social elevation of the farmers.
To this extent he was one of them. At
the last election he was told by every one
that the Grange was not political, and
when candidates were thick as Egyptian
locusts Col. Davie endeavored to stir up
the Grange into politics, and the people
condemned his arguments and adhered to
the declaration of the constitution of the
Grange, that the order was not political.
Hocker says that running for the Legis
lature is not a political act He (Hill)
could not see how this was so. He
thought the Grange made a mistake in
patting out a candidate, and thus array
ing one class against another. This was
toot to the interest of the peoule.county or
State. He would, if elected, represent all
classes, and not pull down one at the ex
pense of another class. IfthcGrange is a
good thing let them remove the secret veil
and take all in. He gave the census and
wealth In Kentucky, and claimed that
the cry has been always, "Hard times."
He declared that the legislation was equal
and constitutional, and if any bad laws
were passed it was owing to bad legisla
tors and a wild spirit of speculation. lie
was oppesed to taxation for corporations.
He confessed that too little attention has
been pafd to tue working class. A man
who asked to be elected should know what
the laws arc now, and not be one who ap
peals to the mechauic or farmer against
the professional man. Our present bad
times were aline caused by the failure of
thecrop. He attacked the Grange for dc
daring itself non-political, and then nom
inating a candidate, and thought this in
consistency. He thought the Council com
mitted a grave error in nominating a can
didate. He thought Hocker was not bet
ter.or more entitled to consideration than
himself. He knew Hocker as a school
teacher, sheriff, assessor,and a candidate.
A boy once drew a horse, and wrote un
der it: '-This is a horse." Mr. Hocker
could not be recognized unless labelled,
"This is a farmer." He (Hill) made no
issue with the farmer, and only appealed
to the farmers in a spirit of magnanimity.
They stood by him and he by them. If
elected, he would act iii accord with Dem
ocrats in matters of party declaration.
MB. HOCKER
excused himself as a speaker. He saw a
Hill with legal beauties, a Mcador broad
and beautiful, and a long itowc ahead,
while he stood there a humble farmer. He
was surprised to see all the candidates
Grangers. Mr. Hill was uneasy that
Grangers were going contrary to their con
stitution, and took occasiou to warn thein.
He imagined Hill would have foutid less
fault if he (Hill) had been nominated by
tbem. The Grange was a grand institu
tion, and was an effort against monopolies,
corporations, and capitalists. The ques
tion arises, what will be the result if the
downward tendancy ia not arrested ? The
people are thinking and moving. The
Grange is moving all over the country, to
elevate by counsel the farming interests.
In answer to Mr. Hill's fault-finding be
cause of there being a Grange candidate,
the gentleman knew nothing of the obli
gation ofa Patron. Anywhere outside
of a subordinate Grange political subjects
could be debated. He became a candidate,
not at his own instance, but at the request
of the people. ' Captain Hill told him that
he would have no opposition, and all at
once Hill himself became a candidate
against htm. He assumed to give a plain,
fair statement of how he became a candi
date. He was not here to array one class
against another. All occupied their prop
er places. He wanted the farmer repre
sented. Partsy pirit ran riot, and issues
the most vital had been forgotten. He
asked the support of all classes. The ten
per cent, interest law ought to be repealed,
as well as all unjust tariff laws. Salaries
ought to be reduced. Gold had declined
and so ought salaries to be scaled down (o
what is right and fair, though he would
not have an officer e services for nothing.
Corruption and bribery has been the order
of the day, and ought to be corrected. He
was surprised that Mr. Hill should Lea
candidate after hia declaration of two
months ago. He (Hocker) had made a
crop every year but one, and had endeav-
urcu iu i.noiv xomcuiing ucsiiieg Holding
the plow, and certainly ought not to be
condemed for that. He could only say
everything lie had attempted he had done
well. He came before the people a youth
to fortune and fame unknown, and asked
their supjiort; and, in conclusion, would
say that he ileprecated the arrayal of one
class against another, and such was not
his position.
MR. W. I. ROWE
said he was no longer a candidate, because,
j under the circumstances, he could not be
J elected. Besides, he was not able physi'
. calk to make the race.
The Taylor Family.
The many estimable people who belong
to this time-honored family, will be grat
ified to learn that a general reunion is
contemplated of all thcTaylor family and
their relatives. The name of Tavlor is
intimately and honorably identified with
the history of Ohio county, and wc have
no doubt that they will turn out eu masse
on this proposed family festive occasion.
The reunion will be held at thesulphur
spring on Lewis' creek, on the 14th day
of August, 1875, should this time and
place meet with general approval. Every
one of the name of Taylor, or who is re
lated to a Taylor, U expected to be pres
ent. Those who arc so unfortunate as
not to he related to the family, will be in
vited, and enough will be provided to pre
vent any guest from going away and pro
claiming: "A Taylor had bread and gave
it not." All who favor the proiosed re
union mav signify the same through our
columns. What says ourTaylortown cor
respondent? Wc announce, right now,
that wc shall be there.
Accident to Judge Gregory.
Quite a serious accident befell Judge
Gregory Saturday morning. He hitched
his horse to his buggy, and drove over to
Dr. Berry's, and while returning the ani
mal became frightened and ran away with
the vehicle. The Judge was thrown out
and received such injuries as to confine
him to his room ever since. His many
friends will be glad to learn that, though,
badly bruised up, he was not dangerously
hurt, and is rapidly recovering. Xo ses
sion of the county court was held Monday,
in consequence of his inability to attend
and preside. The general statutes, wc
understand, make no provision for a spe
cial county judge, which wc thiuk is)a very
serious oversight. The revised statutes
provided for the nearest magistrate to pre
side in case of the inability of the county
judge to attend.
The Sulphur SprliiRH Barbecue.
There was a very good turn-out at the
Sulphur Springs barbecue last Saturday.
The occasion was enjoyed by all. The
best of order prevailed. The dinner was
all that could be desired, and the young
people fairly "spread themselves" in the
dance. After dinner came the speaking.
Mr. G. C. Wedding led off. He fired off
a good many "pyrotechnics of speech,"
and then subsided into a very common
place Radical gusher. The best portion
of his speech, and the most sensible, was
the announcement that he wa6 no longer
a candidate for the Legislature. He was
followcil by Mr. Hocker, who made about
the same speech he did at Cromwell, a syn
opsis of which wc published at the time.
He was succeeded by Mr. Sam. E. Hill,
who announced himself a candidate for
the Legislature, sharply reviewed Dr.
Mcador'ts course as a representative, and
"went for" Mr. Hocker in lively style
Dr.JMeador responded, defended his course
in the Legislature, and stated that he was
not yet a candidate for re-election, but
probably would bo.
Mrs. Caleb Crow was thrown out of a
buggy last Saturday morning, while on
the way to the barbecue at the Springs.
She was stunned for awhile, and consider
ably bespattered with mud, having fallen
iu a branch' o? ditch. Fortunately she
suffered no serious injury.

Barbara Wooden, whose trial we spoke
of last week, was held over in bonds, of
$200, and on failing to give the required
surety, she was lodged in the Grayson
county jail.
Tlln COUXTV CONVENTION.
The voters of Grayson county met ca
meat Lettchfield last Monday, and nom
inated John S. Terry, ex-sheriff of Gray
son, as a candidate to represent Grayson
county in the next General Assembly of
Kentucky. He is a perfect gentleman,
in every respect, and should he be elected
wc are confident he would legislate to the
county's interest.
CANDIDATES KOR ULECUEr's ClILKCII.
Screlda and Susan Kaymcr, two women

SCHOOL TRUSTEE.
The citizens of this school disUict (52)

again.

W. H. Brown, who has been accused
of assisting the prieoncrs Wooden and

the Mercer horse, owned by "Hunts'

Business at this point has been rather
dull for some days past. The farmers
arc now busy in garnering their wheat
and oat crops. Tire- consequence ie, they,
do not come to our little village. Bui
the prospects are nun indeed flattering
for a good fall trade. The people in-this
section of the county have been limiting
their purchases of goods and other arti
cles for the last two years, on account of
the scarcity of lftoney in circulation, and
the failure of the crops. And if this year
proves a successful one for the farmers
wc may cxpect!busincss of every kind to
increase, and anticipate belter times gen
erally.
ANOTHER HORSE RAfitV
Last Saturday, on the Lacefleld tract,
Kichard Fitzhugh ran his yellow mare
against a yellow'horse owned by "Hunts"
Mercer, and was distanced about three
feet. Purse cne liyidrcd dollars on a
side. This is the second race ih which
our friend Fitzhugh has been defeated,
and wc hope that: when he proposes to
run again he will have better luck. Not
being present at this' race, IshaU'not at

which transpired on the occasion, but wc
arc credibly informed that' the w'snien'
who acted so inhumanly at the previous
race were not present at the latter, in

brown's case.
W. H. Brown, of Caneyville, and whose
name appeared in the Graysoiv County
Herald last week, surrendered himself to
Esquire Cane last Friday, and his trial
is set lor next Friday at this place. The
nature of the charges against said Brown
are such as will attract a good many peo
ple to the trial from curiosity, as well as"
to sec the law enforced against such of
fenses. TI1E 3IAS8 CONVENTION.
which met in Leitchfield Monday, nomi
nated John Terry, Esq., to represent us
in the next Legislature, and, since his
nomination, on critical examination, it
has been ascertained that he is not clig&h
to the position should he be elected. HifS
ineligibility ia based upon the fact that
he has not been long enough out of the
sheriffs office for him to serve in the
Legislature. So on last Saturday Mr.
Terry was forced to decline the nomination
which he did iu a very pleasing manner
His many friends will regret exceedingly
to hear of this. We understand Mr.
Green, the nominee of the Farmers' and
Grangers' Convention, is making a vig.
orous canvass, and his prospects for clcc
tion are such aa to greatly encourage the
constituents who brought him out.
Mention was made in your last weeks
issue of The Herald, of a certain young
man of our town visiting Louisville for
1 lie express purpose of laying in supplies
of those palatable vegetables, cnious
and beets, and that Spring Lick
and vicinity had none of these
vegetables. In behalf of this place
and vicinity, wc beg leave to say that wc
have a superabundance of onions and
beets. In fact, wc have large quantities
of any other kind of vegetables. The egg
crop with us this season is also large, and
unless the freight is reduced from this
point to Louisville, or the price enhances
in said city, wc will be forced to turn our
shipmeuta to the Hon. Judge G , of
your city, for consumption. A.
FICOM I'OKDSVILLE.
Fordsvillk, Kv., June 25.
Editor Herald: I have concluded to
write, not because I have any news, but
that you have something from all parts
of the county except this.
FORDSVILLC,
the history of which I intend to give you,
is situated in a beautiful valley between
Clark's and Panther Mountains, and is
on n small mound, which renders the site
both healthful and picturesque, drained
on the east by a lovely littlestream, which
meanders and ripples its course through
the fertile valley, iu which dwell some of
the most thrifty farmers of the county.
The soil is a rich sandy loam, adapted
to the growth of all the products of the
State. The surrounding forest contains
the best timber in the country. The
mountains are full of the very best stone
coal, equal (for smithing purposes) to the
best Pittsburgh coal. Of all this hidden
wealth wc are possessed, yet have no
chance to develop it, owing to our having
no means of transportation to market.
If we had a railroad to connect us with
the outside world, this town would not be
the Nazareth of Ohio county.
Fordsville was first settled by Elisha
Ford, who was the-father of James Ford,
of Hartford, and from whom it takes its
name. Ford resided here but a short
time, and when he left there was but one
house of importance iu the place. After
him came Jack Haynes, who resided here
some time without making or r.llowing
any improvements to be made. After
Hayucs moved away, John 1. Smith be
came the purchaser of the site on which
the town is built. I thiuk he moved here
some fifteen years ago. Under his su
pcrvision Fordiville has improved very
much. There are now .some twelve or
fifteen dwelling houses in the town, and
some five or six business houses.
Fordsville is healthfully located, and is
a good business point, commanding the
trade of large portions of three counties,
viz., Breckinridge, Hancock aud Ohio.
Our business men are the very bes.t iu
the county A. J. Gross, whose business
qMalihVntion'' and afl'.ible m inner ren ler
him the favorite of all who kaow him.
W hitler & Magan, merchants, are polite
and accommodating gentleman, and show
off well hshind the county. John T.
Smith & Son, saddlers, arc very accom
modating, aud arc excellent workmen.
John M Johnson, druggist, is fully up
to all the requirements of the times. Our
professional gentlemen, Dra. Lightfoot
and Sander, arc worthy of notice, espe
cially as their medical skill makes it al
most an impossible fact to "shullLe oil
this mortal coil" when they obtain a Wit
shot at the "dread enemy." Take it all in
all, Fordsville lacks a great deal of being
the meanest tow-twin the county.
A WEDDISO.
Married, on the 27th ult . at the resi
dence of the bride's father, Mr. John A.
lCcynolila, by llev. Mr. , Dr .1. F.
Lightfoot and Miss Uebecca G. Kev-
nolds, all of this district.
It seems that for some twelve months
or more, Cupid has been setting snares
for our young Doctor, and at last the fas
cinating charms of the beautiful little
becca laid hold on him, and, like an in
cubus, haunted him by day and by night,
until he at length yielded a willing and
infatuated victim to the siren spell of her
rare beauty and equally rare accomplish
ments. We arc truly glad that the Doc
tor has married and settled down in our
midst, where we hope he may spend the
remainder of his days. May good Juno
smile on him aud his lovely wife.
THE CROl'S
are in a very thriving condition in this
section. The farmers thiuk they will
harvest the largest and best crops they
have had for many years. There is a
very large planting of tobacco in this sec
tion, and it is thriving very well. The
merchants' think they will get pay next
spring for the goods they sold a year ago.
Wheat, oats, corn and grass are all in a
very thriving condition. the wheat
crop is now about ready to be harvested.
The recent rains have done some injury
to the crops, especially on low lands.
r-OLlTICS
are nearly forgotten in this section.
though the Democrats' are determined to
stand by their colors", and cordially sup
port the Democratic Slate ticket.
THE GRANGERS
contemplate a- meeting on Saturday the
2'Jth, in the l6wn of Fordsville for the
purpose of raising contributions for the
destitute counties of this State. God
speed their work. Yours,
A (J RICO LA.
From Anullier Correspondent.
Fordsvillf, Ky., July 2.
Editor Herald: As I have seen no re
port from this part of the county, I hope
you will allow this space in your good
paper, as it is the first. Our people are
very despondent on account of the deplo
rable condition of the crops. A great
deal of the corn and tobacco, is entirely
ruined. Some of the oldest citizens say
they have never known the waters as high
at this season of the year. All the water
courses, both large and small, has swept
the fencing wherever it obstructed the
pathway of the rushing waters.
The farmers arc using every exertion to
get through with their wheat harvest, for
fear of more rain. The candidates for the
Legislature have not as yet created much
stir among our good people, but I have
been told by Mr. J. T. Smith that Mr.
Hocker was in our town yesterday, and I
find that he has gained many friends
here. More anon. H. C. T.
