In building up the road to get upon the new
bridge The K. X. Co. are under the necessity OF
cutting through an old grave yard ON the Har-

though IL has been but about ID years since any

in your renort OF the census of our town you

mary OF what our town consists of,its bus ness,

Our Doctors complain of the dlstressingly
healthy condition of our town. Barring u lew
old hronic cases, they have nothing To do
That they may continue in that bllssful state
is our sincere wish ami prayer
There il one point in the present political
can vass to which the attention of all thought
Iul men should be directed, and that is that
Democratic editors and speakers and leaders
are constantly attacking ali the Protestant
>ects. and by every means in their power seek
ing 10 di>parage them in the eyes of the public.
ana at the same time they have nothing but
kind words for The Catholic Church, and do on
every occasion that Is possible, favor their par
Iicular idea with regard to schools. &c Now ii
has been pred icted by our most eminent men
1 tha7 the moment we allow any religious sect To
nave any power whatever, sect, our system
| of gavernm will fall in ruins. do not APP
prrhend that this can take place without asi
sacrifice of life, but Eel us be warned in time
| Let US take care of our school system, and kee
| the inst tituliDns thai came down to us from our
GATHERS intact, and free IroH all religious de-
nominal ions. The inSolrnI assumption that IL
does no harm for a CaTholic 10 teach a Protes-
Iant but il is very hurtfulfor a Protestant to
and any political party that even indirectly
iaeoTs such an idea should at once be abandoned
by every honest citizen.
