Reno one of Lnkehnh[ oldest and most beloved citizens, has' a tract of land in Hardin county, Ky., which bids fair to bring him considerable opulence, as it contains a vast deposit of asphalt rock of the very highest quality. The tract consists of some acres, and enjoys the great adnmm-' of accessibility, being only one mil: from a railroad station and onlyi 35 miles from water transportation The official analysis made by a Chi- cago firm is as follows ——————— . and Mrs. George M. \\'thl' The semi-monthly session of the John Whitthorne, left to- [ City Council occurs tomorrow night. where they will = T !

Its introduction has led! to a great reduction in the cost of making asphalt streets, not only from | the mate 1 being cheaper, but from the fact that no binder is necessary, as in the use of lake asphaltum, Its smoothness and durability are addi tional recommendations.” Mr. J.
