Our citizens generally are profuse in
their sympathies toward the hospital es-

but very few of them go any further in
this respect than in the expression OF

humanity, ana it should not be allowed
to languish in the midst of wealthy
and intelligent community as this is.
And what is more strange the city pa
pers OF Lexington hardly ever contain a

A curious instance of trade jealousy
crops out In the refusal Of the carpet
weaving firms Of Kidderminster, Eng.
land, to be represented at the centen-
nial, because of our protective tariff,
which has spoilt their control of the
American carpet market for their goods.
Precisely. And yet, while 'kddermin-
step has become abroad household
word for floor coverings, and is trampled
under foot in all parts OF Great Britain,
these manufacturers will please note the
tact that there are more carpet looms
running in the centennial city of Phla-
delphia to-day than in all Great Britain.
That there not only are Kidderminster
made, but tapestries, velyets, Wiltons,
Moquets, and all the more elegant
grades OF carpet: that the machinery
which produces them, the engines which
drive this machinery is made, and which
even supplies the tacks to lasten the
floor coverings, are all OF American pro-
duction, and all due to interchangeable
tariff, the only British article In use be-
ing the habit OF striking, and OCCASION
ally burning a mill Oh two, which the
'weavers inherited from their English
ancestors, and which, unfortunately,
even protective tariff will not cure.

JOHN w. GRUBBs was born in Som
erset, Ohio, November IL, 1910; and by
death, passed away from our midst Au-
gust 9. 1875.
In the struggles of our country in the
late war, John W. Grubbs gave his best
strengthening volunteered August 4,
1862, and serving as a soldier till the
close of the war, being discharged June
&c, 1865.
In the exposures of the army he con-
tracted disease, which no doubt lessened
the number of his years and hastened
his death.
John was we'll on in his thirty fifth
year when he passed away,-leaving his
aged and in6rm parents, five sisters, and
one brother, ard many other relatives,
friends and associates to mourn and miss
him; but none will miss him as the faith
er and mother and sister at home He
was reIy faithful son, being the stay and
support Of their years Of age and de-
pendence; denying himself many things
that he might provide them home and
the comforts of life. As brother, he
was kind and attentive to the wants
and wishes of his sisters, and the re-
manning brother; speaking good words
| for and to them,-and the most uncom-
planning in all his suffering and declin-
ing health. For some time he had been
no doubt meditative and prayerful, for
long after his mother thought he was in
bed, on going to his room, she would
find him up: as she supposed thinking
and praying, and the morning before he
died, he assured her ."that he was not
afraid to die-that all was right-weep
not for me-" We visited and prayed
with him several times during his sick
ness, and the large number in attend
ance at the funeral showed the high es-
TEEN in which he was held by ALL
