Cassius M. Clay.

VI Cassius M. Clay.
The friends of freedom will be glad to hear
again from one of its truest champions. IN
changed in mind and purpose, he is fired by
as holy zeal for the good cause, as man ever
felt ..u
His reception in Kentucky has been of the
warmest character. At Lexington, it aoan
grand fete. All parties and all classes, Joined
to meet and greet Cassius M. Clay. The truth
is, the people love and respect the man.
Nor let any one suppose that this results
from his military services He had no OPP
portunitY to win warrior fame. 1t was the
spirit of generosity and self .sacrifce-the
remembrance of his fight in a holier battle
than war ever witnessed-which babe the
people hail his return home with so wide and
earnest an enthusiasm.
And it is good omen-this honorable ac-
acknowledgement of past injustice, and shak-
ing of hands over past divisions. 1t shows
that the hour IS, when men may consider the
right and struggle honestly for it. Let us
welcome this change as the dawn Of better
day, and labor together to hasten its full and
more glorious opening.-LouisviNe Examiner.

The true friends of the South were not be

some one more daring than the rest gave ut
terance to the hottest instincts of nature, and
spoke out against the giant curse. 1t was but
momentary ripple on vast sea, whose wa
tiers again subsidized into more than original
stagnation.
In all the South there was not single press
where the right could be vindicated or calm
reasoning allowed. In the year 1915 ven

We are told that on the morning of the late
Thanksgiving day, Mr.. Polk went devoutly to

PUNCTUALITY.

+ :.
All that's jewcl--punctuality. If you
borrow few dollars of a friend, pay him the
moment you promised, or his. purse-strings
may be forever tied against you So long as
you are punctual, you are lord of another
mans purse and can. always depend upen
what he has. What is more vexatious, than
to loan money for certain period, and then
call for it several times and get but few
dollars lick Ibst
No young man can prosper who Is not
punctual--this you may rely upon. You
can as well live under water, as beneath the
weight Of broken promises Ye who have
been negligent thus far in life, turn over a
new leaf, or you will fail and be forever poor.
Let this be your motto, engravcn on your
hearts-sI will be punctual, "-and you will
have no trouble but certainly succeed.
