Winter is showing itself in cy clone style in the no-bh 111 i nois, Kentucky, and olhe states have been damaged by the less of life or property. The weather up to Tujsday has been almost like spring, and what is an uncommon sight for this ciiraate may be seen now, namely roses, peach trees, and other early r fruit and flow er trees and bushes in full bloom.—[Russellville, (Ky.) Ledger. Prof. Idas Bowden of Bel ton, was in town Tuesday. Mr. Bowden left the following morning for the neighborhood of Hebron, where the people are anxious for him to teach a school. The negro “weach” that fig ured in the disgraceful scene at the Baptist church during su perior court of last March, has been jailed. Crawf. Holland, her escort at the time, should be jailed. He was accessory to all that was going on. Harmony Grove, J an. 11. — Mr. Editor—Allow me to con gratulate the improvement on the Journal with the last issue. The paper is a very neat six column weekly of which Banks should be proud. Please send on the Journal to my address. *** Prof. Terrell’s show Monday night was very good. Punch and Judy bc*ing the most laugh able scene; while Tommie held his own with the boys, ar.d proved to them that he had come to stay. The sleight-of hand was good. All in, the spectators were paid double the price of admission. SfcILREE S YVINEIof CARDUI frr Femftlo Diseases) Wether dark, and cloudy with indications of snow.

Through its cleansing and heal ing qualities, it prevents the accumulation of dandruff, and cures all scalp diseases. Col. Oscar Brown has had a slight attack of“La Grip” this week, so he terms it. We don’t know what kind oi gem'n “Laj Grip” is. Suppose he derives his name from the French ac cent. To use our tautology. Iwe would say Col. Brown has had a severe cold this week. I The -hop" at Mr. J. E. Ste j phens’ W ednesday night o, i last week, was a pleasant one. j The usual gathering was pres ent. The boys, say tne girls came out in their “red bodice saipies and white skirts. ’ All passed pleasantly in Hie light trip until a late hour. No woman can be contented uni happy if her skin is cover ed with pimples and blotches, these disfiguring eruptions are sasiiy removed by the use of Vyer’s Sarsaparilla. This med .cine is perfectly safe to take, and is thoroughly reliable blood purifier. Prof. Alexander opened the academy Monday with a good attendance. The academy is in bad repair. The Journal has called attention to this time and again, It has been ignor ed. Those who pretend to take an interest in the school have slept over their rights. Should bad weather set in (and the indications now are in its favor,) the teacher and pupils are in danger of contracting pneumonia or some other dis ease that may send every one of them to an untimely grave. It is said the Health of Tom. Langston is rapidly tailing. Langston was jailed here in November, charged with the killing of Will Brewer at the Payne grocery. Since that time several reports of lynch ing him have went abroad. In consequence oft( J a fiery ar ticle, ia sympathy Jfith the move and to arouse the crime of lynching a man not yet tried by the courts, to a red-hot heat was puposely written and sent to the Constitution from this place. But, as yet, Langston is safe behind the bars. “Now, Sail!

The 1 -oncern was 100 small a thing for me. I staid.’’ A citizen of liomer said not long since, if a railroad was to come here -‘it would bring tramps.” Tramps are always thrown in with trash. Now, suppose the creeks around you overflow and fill some hollow with Hash. The consequence is, will stay there until the creeks overflow again and carry it off’. But a run rung stream hardly, ever iias any room for trash. Thus it is with railroad towns. They have no room for trash, it there should lie any, it is ai ways consigned to waste places where no damage rarely ever occurrs. We have always found the reverse away from rail roads. This is where mormon- ism, murders, etc., exist. There is, generally, no protection. History of our forefathers on the frontier will substantiate this. True civilization, society and intelligence are always to ■be placed at railroad towns. | Away with such coon skin | ideas! Build a railroad, that the world may see our errors and teach us better. The Bloody Ninth. Atlanta, Jan. 11.—It is un derstood that the lion. I. L. Winn of Gwinnett county, is in the race for congress, to sue. ceidOol. A. D. Candler, who will decline re-election. Col- Winn is said to be the choice of the alliancemen in this district, although he will have a strong following outside of that order. It is said also that the Hon. Carter Tate of Pickens, will be a candtdate in the race. Rev. Tliad. Pickett will run independent, and will show up enough strength to make the race interesting to the nomi nee. This puts the 9th district ahead in having a clearly de fined campaign so far in ad vance. Of course the candidates will canvass the district and big oralical guns will soon be blazing away at every cross roads.

Any further delay was opposed by the state’s attorney, and after considerable discussion the court adjourned argument in the matter until to-morrow. Washington, Jan. 13.—The Washington Capitol, an even ing paper of this city, has been sold to Wiliie B. Hawkins of the Post, and E. B. Cowen of Chicago, a newspaper man.

He has repeated it over and over, that he will not die on the gallows. He is closoly watched. If Ihe guard should take his eye off him, he will find Hawes a dead man. Later.—Jan. 15. —Hawes re fuses to eat little or nothing and has little hope of executive clemency. He don’t expect a new hearing from the federal courts. He says he has no hope as the governor dare not inter fere in his case. There is no doubt, but that Hawes will hang. The crime was a dastardly one. Columbus, 0„ Jan. 14.—Gov elect James E.
