Sam'l M. Duncan has sold about fifty copies of Col. Bennett H. Young's History of Jessamine County. The book is a fine one for the price and too cheap at $1 to borrow.

Col. Evan S. Reese, of the People’s Tobacco Warehouse, Louisville, was here to attend our Centennial and liked it so well that he remained over the week with his friend. Billy Sandusky, to get acquainted with the growers. The Peoples’ is an independent house, and no growers should fear to trust this house with their shipments. This is no a paid ad. The house is represented in Jessamine county by the popular Billy Sandusky, which means that every grower in Jessamine will be fully protected.


Over in Danville the same condition of affairs exist as does in Clark. The county has bought the pikes and the question of voting bonds to pay for them will be voted on there as well as here in November. A part of the pikes bought by the county lies in the town of Danville and Hustonville, and there as here, there is a controversy as to whether the city or county shall keep them up. To such a p--- has this controversy gone that the voters of the city threaten to defeat the bond issue if the city has to keep up these portions. - Winchester Democrat.
