The prosperity of our city is visible on every hand, new buildings and new sidewalks have been built, streets graded, gas extensions being added and with the army of men now at work on the sewer and paving makes business lively and the future most nattring.

Further success to them. They say that more money can be put to good advantage. A reading room will be opened up in some favora- i ... . me locality, ana uie lonesome young men who now find great difficulty in passing away the time, can find a place to spend their evenings. About twenty couples met at the residence of Sir. Fred Gorder last even ing and from there they started for the residence of Mr. J. P. Young at about half past eight o'clock, the object of their visit being to surprise Miss Chrissie Burkel, who is visiting at their home, yesterday being her birthday. All present apprently enjoyed them selves in the usual social way. Several present rendered selections of vocal and instrumental music which was much appreciated. Refresh ment were served in abundance of wMch all heartily partook. v Woll An wared - Editor Hebald: One, 8. P. Vanat-" ta, makes a malicious, cowardly and vil lainous attack on me through the columns of the Journal. Two years ago this man was a candidate for the nomination of county attoruey, before the republican party, and demanded that I should con cede him the delegation from the 1st ward of this city, in which we both lived, and upon my declining to yield to the modest demand, he swors vengeance, and went to the Louisville convention and sought to preyent my nomination by the use of the same billingsgate that he uses in his article in the Journal. Being the only person who sought to defeat my nomi nation by personal abuse, failing in that, he said he would defeat my election, and for that purpose sought a nomination from the democrats, ind they not being will ing to take him into their fold on the terms proposed, he fell back on the prohibition party, and stumped the comity during the campaign, passing as a prohibitionist; with the avowed object of defeating me and electing a democrat. In his pub lic speeches, he abused the republican party like a pirate. He has no great af fection for me, because two years ago I detected and exposed his habit of seeking the defense of indigent prisoners and tak fees from the county and in addition, taking fees from the prisoners or their friends; neither is his love for me stregth encd by the fact that I exposed his me thods of defense in the prosecution of a notorious house of prostitution in this city. I have this man's record, both here and at Lincoln, and if it should become necessary, will not hesitate to make it public. The good words which he says about Mr. Clark, the city attorney, which by the way, I heartily endorse, are not prompted by any good feelings he has for Mr. Clark, but are intended as taffy to induce Mr. Clark to be a candidate against me. I am a candidate fsr re nomination for the office of county at torney, and as for my official conduct during the time I have held the office, refer to the judges and officers of our courts, and I hereby brand the assertions made by this man Vanatta, as unquali fiedly and maliciously false.
