This is the most laborious judge I ever saw upon the bench. Judge Boyd WAS telling me about a case that was tried in Oweley, which is in his circuit. A' preacher in putting questions and asking for a rising vote finally asked if anybody wanted to to hell, and if so to rise and hold up, his hand, Thereupon a tall, lank fellow whose head nearly reached the ceiling, arose and held up his hand. This ted a great tumult and excitement and the honest mountaineer was indicted for. disturbing religions worship and when the common wealth's attorney got thro' with his testimony Judge Boyd said 10 Col.

Clark: "Is that all? Clark said; The judge said, "Mr. Clerk, dismiss the indictment; but if the indictment had been found against the preacher who asked the absurd question my ruling would have been different. There is nothing in the code that forbids a man going to tell if he wants 10." His honor was right. The preacher. who would ask ench ought to be indieted, fined and imprisoned.

T.R. WALTON, Stanford: H. T. BUSH, REAL ESTATE AGENT, Stanford, Ky. I have quite a Dumber of, FARMS for sale of the very best ue-Grass Lands in Lincoin County.

These Farms are all well improved and good rich lands, running in size from 50 to 500 Acres. Considering theis locality, their richness and fertility of soil. the convenience of turnpikes and railroads that bring markets right to our door, they are cheaper than the Lands of any other county in the State. There is scarcely a Farm in the county over 5 miles from a detot. The county is checked with turnpikes running inevery direction.

There is not a public road entering the county seat that. is not Macadamized. We have the Knoxville Branch of the L. N. R.

dividing the county from East to West and the C. S. R. from North to South; the 'C. R.

R. from this place to Cincinnati, crossing the C. O. at Winchester, giving full access to the markets of the whole world. Besides, we have three large Ft ur Mills in the county that give us, a market for all our grain right at home; and the development of tire mountain regions of Eastern and South eastern Kentucky ba aulroads and the outtet South by railroads has crested such a denrand for of cereals and provender that we can scarcely retain enough tor home consumption.

The people are prosperous, generous and kind, believing in Christianity and education. There is not a neighborhood in the, county but has a good church and sohool-house. Stanford, the county seat of Lincoln is a prose perous little city of about 2,500 mhab.tants and is the great doorway from the North and Northeast South and from the Northwest to and standing as it does gazing right into the bosom of the undeveloped mountains of Southeastern Kentucky backed up by the whole region of the State with railroads running through it to all points of the compass, makes it naturally one of the best located towns in the South for mannfactures and other enterprises of magnitude. Water Works are, now being agitated and right aboue the town about, three-fourths of a mile thEre could be erected Water Works with very. little cost that would supply a city inhabitants with the purest and best water in the world.
