The Cholera Of 1917.

We have seen from some Of our foreign and
home exchanges that the Asiatic cholera Is
likely again to visit our shores during the
present or coming year. In 1872, when this
'fell destroyer" devasted whole continents, and
peopled the ground with the victims Of iis
slain; science was not 20 far advanced as al,
present, and the result was that our best and
most learned physicians did not know how 10
treat the disease. Calomel, in large doses, was
thought then to be the only possible remedy.
Now, however, far different practice obtains,
and calomel is considered death in its admin
istration.
The most rational practice now held issS
thorough system Of hygien,, keeping the body Of
sick and afflicted most scrupulously clear, and
allowing rain-wster only to be used as a drink.
We have heard Il stated that learned physi-
clan Of Lexington, Ky, (pcrhaPs DR.. Dudley
said that when the cholsra ragged 50 furiousiy
and fatally in his city q. -the-,isse sbsAl -
ferrcd to; no one Of any family who used els
tern water exclusively, had any symptoms Of
the disease, while those who could not, or did
not use il, were fearfally devastated.

IndepenSlencc Day.

This day came and went like all other days.
The fact is the ith of July, to use an O1gi-
nal expression, has played out" The second
revolution destroyed all the enthusiasm for
the frst, and independence day is like any
other hot day in summer--very hard to get
through with. In fact, the most folks in this
region didn't know the Fourth" had come
and gone until they read this article No can
non-guns, firearms, or other Qualifications were
brought out to announce the coming of "the
day we celebrate" and so another grand "fes-
tai" time has passed by. The Banks, Of course,
were closed, but "all the tother fellers" were
wide open and wide awake. RAW for Horace
Greeley"

An Iron Front.

The iron front intended for the now build
ing Of the Farmers National Bank of Stan
ford, has arrived, and the erection Of the house
will be begun in Few days. The upper story
will be finished supefbly as a Masonic Lodge,
and the lower corner for the bank. The iron
front twill extend the entire length Of the build
ing on Main street, distance of about SO feet.
The upper end will be finished in good style
as a grocery and hardware store, and extend
back so feet, and open again about SO feet on
Lancaster street, thus making a room equal to
l0e feet in length, 20 feet wide, and IA feet
high, and will be occupied by Asher owsley,
Esq, who has purchased it from the bank.
Such Improvements are valuable, and an or
nament 10 our town.

Little John Owens Of Pine Hill was, a few

ponderous club on his shoulder. Our agent

Had Conduct.

A gentleman who lives in the west suburbs
of town, near the branch, says there are some
boys and young men here who are in the habit
of going in the branch to bathe about dark
and that they not only expose their persons to
all who may chance to pass, but to those living
in the immediate neighborhood. Equally an
moving also is the yelling kept up by them
shouting, swearing, and using obscene Ian
guage within hearing Of the ladies and chill
dren Of the vicinity. We cannot think these
parties do this for the purpose of annoyance,
but through thoughtlessness. We hope it will
not occur again; but IL it does, steps will be
taken to discontinue it, even though they have
to he presented to the grand jury for exposure

Our Female College.

We learn that there are five or six appli-
cants for the position Of Principal Of our Fe-
male College, and presume there viii be others.
Among so many, surely good selection will
be made. Scholarship alone does not oonsti-
tute competent man for the place. Industry
and cleverness, poliieness and good breeding,
coupled with ability to discipline and govern
ones self and Others, and a power to impart
instruction to Others. are all required for the
purpose.

The Nlasen's Gan Pike.

We had hoped that steps would have been
taken before now to get enough money to build
this road. 1t is surely more needed by the peo-
pie of Stanford and the north portion of our
county-on the Danvillc pike, Hawkins
Branch, and farmers adjacent thereto, than
any pike Of similar length in all our borders.
We gave our reasons for thinking 30, in our
first article on this subject, and il is unneces-
sary TO mention them again. No one can
doubt what we have written ON the matter,
and we sincerely trust that some one will be-
gin the work.
