Demper, the jeweler at Greensville, Ky, for repairs. Watches sent by express will receive prompt attention. The hotel “ad” of J. P. Hill, Rockport, appears this week. The Republican is a good advertising medium, but Mr. Hill’s best “ad” is in his dining room where he ministers to the wants of the inner man in a way that will please the most fastidious. . The attention of our local board of health should be direct to the city pump in from of Mendal and Tanner’s store. This cistern is located in the gutter where the surface water leaks in and renders it very unhealthful. An interesting news letter from Dexterville is left out this week, because the writer did not sign his name. We have called attention to this essential feature of a news letter once before, but it seems some people thought we were just joking. “Uncle” Buck Renner died at the house of his son-in-law, Mr. Howard Finley, at this place, last Thursday morning. Mr. Renner was an old and respected citizen of this county, and he leaves a host of relatives and friends. His remains were taken to Huntsville and buried there Friday. Elsewhere in this issue will be found the announcement of Hudson Thatcher as a candidate for Circuit Court Clerk. Mr. Thatcher’s fitness and qualifications are too well known to need comment from us. He is a perfect gentleman and from his childhood has been an earnest Republican. If nominated by the Republicans his success is assured and the county will have a guaranty of one of the most efficient clerks in its history. The Court last week decided that in the future no allowance would be made to pay for more that four day’s work with plow and team on any one section of the road in one year. If more than four days plowing is necessary on one section, the overseer may make arrangements with a hand to furnish plow and team, and excuse him from part of the work.

Last Monday the river magnates met here and united the Green River Packet Co. proprietors of the Rescue, with Evansville and Bowling Green Packet Co., proprietors of the steamer Evansville, under the new firm name Evansville and Green River Packet Co. It is not know just who constituted this new company, but it is understood that it is made up mainly of member of the two old companies.

Great Scott don’t that look like there was something in it! Farmers of Butler County need not be afraid of being caught up with a fraud when they invest their money in fertilizer. WE COME HERE TO TELL YOU NOW that we propose to fertilize Butler County this coming season. Every waste field must yield an abundant harvest, some sixty, some seventy, some an hundred fold. WE COMMENCED THIS BUSINESS AND WE PROPOSE TO KEEP IT UP. By making a Specialty of Fertilizer we buy large quantities and sell cheaper than farmers can buy any where else under the sun. So Remember us Dear Farmers, when the first peaking of the jonquil reminds you that Spring time cometh. H.B. Morehead Morgantown, Ky. P.S. Last season we gave $10 in gold for the best ear of corn produced with our fertilizer. We will give a valuable premium this year but we have not decided what it will be.
