In what is called Society" in
this country, there are many poor
people who can appreciate the tastes
OF the cultivated wealthy, but have
not the means to satisfy them.
Their lives are spent in initiating
aud following up people who feel
themselves above them, but who
encourage their toadyism because it
is pleasing to their vanity. These
poor people are they who get
soured and think the world don't
appreciate them. The world prefers
the cash.

The PROPOSED New STATE.-The
new State which it is proposed to
make out of certain counties in Ken
lucky, Tennessee and Mississippi,
will embrace an area of from % 900
to 10000 square miles. 1t will take
seven counties from Kentucky, hav-
ing a population of 79, 74I; nineteen
counties from Tennessee, with q
population of $3.50; and eighteen
counties from Mississippi, with q
population of 281, 1855; in all, forty
four counties, with a total popula-
ton, according to the census of
1870, of 100, 1926, which, with the in
crease since that time, it is estimat-
ed, will amount in round numbers
to 100000. The principal towns
which Kentucky will lose in this
event are Blandville, Paducah, Ben
ton, Moscow, Mayfield, Murray and
Hickman. Tennessee will lose
Memphis, Tiptonville, UAion City,
Dyersburg, Ripley, Humboldt, Jack
son, Lexington, Brownsville, Som
erville, Bolivar, Purdy, and others.
Mississippi will lose many places
which are now of historical interest,
growing out of their being the
scenes of stirring events during the
war; among them, fernando, Hol-
ly Springs, Corinth, Iuks, Browns
vile, Bstesville, Fulton, Aberdeen,
Oxford, CoffeYville, Grenada,
Charleston and Pontotoc. The en-.
tire new State indeed was the thea.
ter of many of the most important
battles of the war of the rebellion
This division of counties will take
from Kentucky all that area includ.
ed between the Tennessee and Mis-
sissippi rivers, the area in Fennes.
see between the same rivers, usual
lily known as west Tennessee, ant
about one-third of Northern Missis
sippi, the Yallabushs river beins
the southern line. The boundaries
of the new State will be the Ohio
river on the north, the Tennessee OF
the east, the Mississippi on the west
and the TaIlahatchee and Yallabush
on the south.

you privately, don't you think that

you privately, don't you think that
it would be a very dirty, mean,
low-lived, sneaking trick in me to
treat you SO in regard to the roam
steer? And furthermore, don't
you think that if we had grand
juries here in this State, the same
as the State of Ohio has, that it
would have given me some trouble?
j. r. WALKUP.
We can say to brother Walkup
that we think, in the case he has
supposed, that he would have had
some ''trouble" without reference
to grand juries. We believe grand
juries are unnecessary and expen-
sive luxuries, not to say humbugs.
Kansas has tried the grand jury
system and prefers to be without
it, so far as we know the public
sentiment. We think the law gives
him as good remedy for such out
RACES as he describes as he would
nave under the grand jury system.
md the country is saved hundreds
If dollars in expense.

Republican conventions generally
throughout the west are taking the
most advanced ground in regard to
the reformatory questions of the
hour. That's what il must do if it
desires to live longer. 1t must not
rely too much on it's past record.
That is good, but the people want
10 know how il stands on the ques
tions of to-day. And not only this,
but the Republican party must
get rid of its corrupt officers
and leaders from the highest to
the lowest. They must all go over
board, without fear or favor. The
people seeing this disposition to do
battle. for the good of the country,
for the best interests of society, as
it has in the past, will rally around
the old party, and make IL the
means of further good.
