Isaac MAYFIELD HAS JUST LAID BEFORE US THE BOOKD “Andersonville,” which is a well printed and intensely interesting book of 650 pages.

The latter part of last week Chris F KELLY, foreman at the State House Quarry, received a letter from HOWARD & DENIG, contractors, that his services were no longer needed, but offered him a subordinate position if he would accept. It is hardly necessary for us to say that Mr. Kelly, who is beyond a doubt the best quarryman in the country, did not see fit to accept the place offered him. This is a strange proceeding on the part of the contractors, when we take into consideration the fact that he was eagerly sought for, and was taken from a remunerative berth with PERRY Brothers at Ellettsville.

On June 24, 1878 Mr. Jett again retuned this time for a large specimen from the quarry as could be obtained. By the aid and assistance of a number of our citizens, foremost among whom were Capt.

The honest old Democrats were now thoroughly convinced that their Clerk and Auditor had wholly reformed, under favorable circumstances, and were in an excellent mood to receive the following: “Resolved: That Daniel VOORHEES, as a permanent and ardent friend of the disable soldiers and laboring class generally had not equal….” Additional Locals Rev.
