SimMBUcklii $nlmor$ournai Stanford, Ky September 13, 1887 W. P. WALTON. The death of Albert Gallatin Talbott, which occurred at the home of his young wife's relatives in Pniladelphia, Friday, ie colls the hislory of a man who was for a long tlms a prominent figure in the poll tide of this district. Beginning in 1S49, when he was chosen to represent Boyle in the constitutional convention, he wag elected to the legislature in 1851, to Congress in 1S55 and in 1S57, to the State Senate in 1S69 and to the Lower House again in 1SS3. Toe latter was hit last public eer. vice, but since then he hai made a ctnyae for the democratic nomination for Congress and sought the appointment of minister to Austria. He made some of the most re m irkable canvasses ever known in this section an J in a number of respects was quite a remarkable man. For a man of his age, 30 years, ha was unusually well preserved and vigorous both in mind and body. He was three times married, his first wife being a Miss Cildwell, his second a daughter of Gov 0 vsley and his last a Miss Watson, of Philadelphia, Above oil of his achievements and (Sorts, his proposition for the general government to pay for the slaves and free tbem, made years before the war, was the most fir seeing and commendable. Hul it been accepted war would have been averted, brother would not have met broth er in deadly conflict and the cost would have been much lets than half that injur red by the resort to arms in '61. The Bubourville iS'cvs flies into a spasm because th-s paper had the temerity to remark that murder trials in the mountains were nothing more than farces, and wants to know how many men have been hun in Lincoln. Thai's not hero nor there though two have been hung in the county. Murder trials are farces everywhere in Kentucky anil because we happened to say "in the mountain!" it is useless for our esteemed contemporary to get up on its hind legs and howl. The fact remains all the same. Life is dirt cheap both in the mountains and in the But it is cheaper in the mountains according to our contempt rary's own statement. Hear U: "The affairs between the beligerentsof Bell county have at last reached a stage than which there can be none worse. The warfare of the savage has been adopted, and assassination is the method that etch party now uses to rid itself of its enemies. Already eight or ten men have "bit the dust" the last three by unseen foes in cold blood. There can ba no worse state of society than this. The evil effect of such bloody tragedies as are occurring weekly or monthly in Bell county is incalculable. Yet there is probably but one remedy extermination. It is Bafe to say now that the murderers of Jack Tamer will neyer be punished by any law but that of retaliation." There has been a shape up in the newspaper business 'at Glasgow. The town is two small for two such papers and the proprietors decided to no longer cut each other's throats by continuing to try to run them, consequently H. C. Gorin has sold his half interest in the lima to J. M. Richardson, of the JVinrs, and J. B, Leslie, of the JVeiw, has disposed of a half interest in that paper to V. B, 8mith of the 'lime. The former will hi discontinued and the latter run for all it is worth by Richardson & Smith. The fraternity loses a good man in Mr. Gorin, who, it is said, has gotten eo rich in western speculations as not lo be depeudent on a newspaper. Mr. Richardson formerly owned the lima and is one of the best and spiciest writers on the State prtes. Here's to them all arouod In a recent issue of the Hopkinsyille South Ktntuekian, E litor Meacham insinu atea that a certain paragraph in this ;tper was a little too steep to be taken in, even by his crelubus nature. Duelling in a glass bouse as be does it is a little dangerous for him to throw such stone. A man who can get his own consent to publish that a Christian county man is using a "jimson" weed for a shade tree, which is so large that his little boy plays around in its braacbei, and that be has already cut 1,230 burs from it, ought to know that he is too dark a pot to call the kettle black. It ia said (hat Fjntaine Fjz B)bbitt :n importuning democratic legislators to yote for him fordojrkeepsr of the next House, bat it ia hardly probtble that he will find even one fool enough to do ho, when it is told that be pledged his hearers in a speech here last court day that no democrat should ever represent Lincoln county in the legis lature again. And yet the impostor claims to be a deaiocrat ! The prohibition campaign in Tennees ia getting reJ hot and from now until the election oo ihe 29. h the welkin will ring with the oratory of men and the appalls of women, The autis have invited Governor Birnett, of Texas, one of the leaders DtiaiuBt prohibiten in the recent bitter fight in that State, to rome and make speeches nnd be has consented to do eo, Gov. Bocknkii issued his first pardon Saturday It was to Algie Rush, a Louia ville toagb, who cut and nearly killed Jack I'ettit, for whic i he was given two years in ihe psnltentiary. After reading a history of the case one is not pirticularly struck with the idea that a pardon was the proper thing in the premises.

KAIR NOTES AND OTHEll THIK09 Joe Young makes a first-rate ring master. Representative and Mrs. Sam Ward were in attendance at the fair. Judge Boyd, who is now in Ihe middle of the Knox circuit ourt, took in the fair. One might have thought the fair belonged to "Fred" Links, so much interest did he manifest. The third annusl exhibition of the Laurel County Fair Association was an unqual ified mccese. J. D. Smith suffered the loss of a toenail at the hoof of Sam Ward's horse just before the fair was over. Your enterprising business manager, who was on the grounds the second and last day, will give you a complete report of the fair. General Black sits a horse handsomely and is a magnificent rider. Many a young lady felt her littlo heart beat faster when the general rode round tho grand stand. The ladies complain that the judges who were (gentle; men gobbled up all the com petitive jelly entered at the fair without so much as offering them a little bit. Shameful men! Mrs, Fred Links and her handsome blue riding habit created quite an ovation every time tbey appeared in the ring. Blue rib- bou always accompanied the blue habit out of the ring, too. I heard more than one remark that our friend Dick Ward was a most elegant and graciful horseman. He carried off tne blue in the combined saddle and harness ring His striped coat was ver becoming. Hon. James B. McCreary, the model Governor and model Congressman, the young man-Eli of modern politics, was observed and obierving among the thousands of honest men and pretty women at the fair Friday. Your genial and industrious business manager was at the fair and did a land office business E 1 is not only the b. m. of tbe I J., but is a b. m. from b c, when it cornea to getting subscribers for his excel lent paper and hitting the boys for job work and and ads. Long mar he wavel Granville H. Brown, of Laurel, the same man who had "12 or 15 bushels" of corn last spring, afier wintering his stock, took the premium on corn at the fair Mr. Hen derson, of Rockcastle, was second best. Mr. Brown not only knows bow to raise corn, but he knows a good paper when he sees it. He takes the Interior Journal, Tho grand sensation of the occasion ws Tom Williams' turnout. Tne prize was $3 for tbe sorriest turnout and Tom took first and second, and deservedly so. His rig was an old rickety, hunch-backed, broken bowed, typical road cart, cov ered with a dirty sheet and drawn br a shaggy, angular, long-eared jennet, Tom was dressed up to match and when he Btarted round the ring and Bob Jackson mounted the jennet and tapped his bass drum, the band behind struck up a lively air and Frank Btugh and Lish Bowling each seizjd an ear of the docile animal and thus marched around the arena, the 3d of the Laurel County Fair "went out in a "blszi of glory" and at the gate and everybody retired in a great cloud of dust, such an one as a prolonged drouth can bring.

Buckner is creating new colonels I hope he will not overlook Cipt. T. A. E'kin. TheCiptain was a gallant Union soldier and 1 a democrat of unques tioned integrity By all means let our Simon Boliver make him a colonel, The muddle in the locil option matter will at least result in the people's getting all the law on tbe subject. It is to be hoped that no hard feelings may be engen dered. There are two sides to everv ques lion, and every man has a rif lit to his Let the fuht be a fair one and let the side which is beiten take the result quietly. There is no sense in getting mad at one. an other. Let us have peace. The subscription for the arleiian well lo be bored in the centre of the Miuare, amounts to about $700 It will take $1,500, to do the work. Let everybody subscribe Tne well Is wsnted. If Lincaster was to take fire to day, the citizens, could only sit still and like Nero of old fiddle while she burned. The county should he'p us. We have a S6V000 court house and n JoO.OOO jail. Tne county can better afford to help us get water than to have its properly burned. Don't let tbe p reject lag gentlemen. Keep the bill moving Judge Morrow decided he had no juris diction in the local option matter. Judge Walker, who had aranted license to J. W. Miller upon the decision of Judge Morrow, that the act calling the election was illegal, has revoked the same eince the last ruling of Judge Morrow. The town trustees, who had granted licecss upon Judge Walker's action, at their meeting on Saturday night, r.voked the town license. What is lo be the solution of this dilemma is more than your scribe can tell. The situation is inter estins to say the leat. I have received the following letter: "To the Correspondent of the Interior journal: rieae suggest to the city in your next letter that they stop all driving upon our street in day time and until 0 o'clock at night. The reason I want thin done is that ihe vehicles raise such it h 1 of a dust around town that It c iokei a man. Waat little hauling is in Lancaster can just as well be done at night as in tbe day.
