D. S. Godsey of Hazel Green  is in town looking after his interests
as candidate to represent this legislative district in the next general 
assembly. It is time that all who intend to enter into the contest 
were making themselves known, that the people may know who 
the have to select from.

     C. M. Hanks, resigned the office of police judge of the town 
of Campton, to take effect March 2nd, and the board of trustees 
recommended A. J. Asburry to the govenor for appointment to 
fill the vacancy.

    Work is progressing slowly on the courthouse, but it will son be 
completed in a short time - as soon as the weather will admit.

Died:  - Feb. 25th, S. P. Kincaid of pneumonia fever.  He leaves a 
wife and two children to mourn his loss.

W. W. Swango, of Wolfe, who recently married the daughter of
Henry Halsey, moved to Bath, near Owingsville. He is a young 
man of considerable push and goaheaditiveness and will doubtless 
make his mark in the famous "blue grass region".

Dr. Thomas of this place is now in charge of the Champion 
mills across the river with John Wilson as first lieutenant.  
They are doing custom grinding for the whole country and 
sawing logs.
