POSSUM HOLLER (Level Green) Dear Signal: After a lingering illness in which I have suffered much, taken medicine, lost what little avoirdupoise I once possessed and nearly all my beauty, I am again able to pen you a few items. The six weeks drought is broken and farmers are driving business with a vim; nearly every man farmer is done planting and out of the first weeds. Wheat generally reports favorabley but oats and grass have had severe set baks. Plenty of peaches, cherries, blackberries and some apples to look forward to with delight and expectancy. Corn was never as scarce in Possum Holler as it is now, but I have seen the price much higher than 75 cents per bushel. A.J. Sears our enterprising merchand who sells more goods than any other country merchant is Rockcastle county holds egges, the poor womans dearest frend at 9 cents per dozen. The healt of the denizens of the Holler was never better, but the rations are dangerously short. Cattle shelp and hog buyers are as plentiful as Republicans in Ja ckson. All liberty loving people in our town without regard to politics or religion like the decision of the Supreme Court in the Beckham-Taylor case. This clearly shows to all minds that it is yet conceded by the highest authority that the states the people have some rights that must be respected. Elder Todd now regulary fills his appointments at the Christian church. Many of our young ladies who have been at much trouble time and expense to qualify themselves to teach are left without a job. Remember young ladies there is ayet room at the top of the ladder and go up higher and "try again". As we are force to the necessity of an election for Governor at the coming November election adn as there are divisions an schisms in ur party and as Mr Beckham has a "cinch" on the Lieutenant Governor's office for the whole term, we think it our duty to seriously cast about for a candidate who has never been mixed up in any of the "late unpleasantness", one calculated to be acceptable to the whole Democracy of Kentucky and not objectionable to our freinds, the enemy and as I am and have ever been a Democrat, I think I have some rights in the matter and as I am sure that we find in the person of the Hon J.D. Black of Barbourville with all the esentials and preequisites necessary for a candidate who can be elected by 25,000 majority we areise to niminate him, while all Possum Holler stand ready to second the same. Give us Black and we are safe without the least of trouble, Very truly yours, Buck Varnon POLITICS AND POLITICIANS Representative Gilbert has been renominated for Congress by the Democrats of the eight district Leading Republicans are urging the Hon George Denny, Jr of Lexington to make the race for the Republican nomination for Governor Former Gov Bradley is said to be disgusted with Taylor's action in becoming a fugitive and he and Col D.R.
