CANEYvILLE, KY, June &c.
w. C. Tilford, junior editor of the
Grayson County Herald, retired from that
position last week, and the paper is now
being published by Mr.. Haynes alone.
While we regret the loss of Mr.. T., we
feel confident that the Herald will be
none the less spicy and interesting under
the supervision of Mr.. H., who is a gen.
tleman of journalistic talent.
o! THE RAIN-THE WET, WET RAIN.
4 great amount of rain has fallen in
this community IN the last few weeks,
and tobacco seasons have not been lack
ing. There is good crop set in this sec.
ton, and that the crop will be ten per
cent larger than year before last is the
general opinion.

For the Herald.
BE SOmcthing-DO Something.
BY QUITS.

Don't stand there with your arms fold-
ed. Don't stand idly dawdling with your
napkin. wrapping and unwrapping your
talent" trying to find out where TO bury
it, and, like the slothful servant Of the
parable, getting ready excuses against the
day of the Master s coming. Don't bury
it. Use it. God will require it at your
hands, and with interest, for He has but
lent it to you.
Put your talent to work. God may
have given You more than one, but, if
only one, put that ont at interest. Do
something. Be something. Don't hang
around street corners. Keep away from
saloons. Don't spent your evenings in
smoke-beclouded back-rooms, toying with
the cards, listening to the clink Of the
glasses, hearing words and jests that
would make you hide your face with
shame at the bare thought of repeating
them to your mother or sister. Set that
glass down. Don't touch it again. For
your mothers sake, for your own souls
sake, appeal to you. Be a man. You
can. Raise your right hand and say: 81
can, I riH; so help me God" Say it in
earnest, and every day, morning, noon,
and night; nay every hour in the day, say
softly in your heart: Lead me not into
temptation, for, o Father, | am weak. y
Say it softly, say it aloud if you like, but
say it in earnest, and God will hear the
prayer.
OH my friend, my brother; tempted,
erring. weak as you may have been, there
is hope for you yet Jesus pleads for
you. Don't forget that Don't throw
away your power of doing good. God
has given it to You. How can you trife
with His gifts? Be a man for the sake
of the father whose pride you were: for
the sake of the mother you loved and
kissed in your boyhood: for the sake of
the sister who leans upon you. Be a
man, for the sake of the wife and the
children who live in your honor or sink
in your shame.
There is something grand in you. Give
it chance. You can crush it out,
''half dust, half Deity" as you are. The
coarse, the earthly part Of your nature,
can draw it down, dOaon! Don't let it do it.
Be true to yourself Be. man. Live a
noble life, and leave it as precious lega-
cy to those who love you.
Life is real, life is earnest,
And the grave is not its goal,
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,

Miss FRANKIE STEWART, daughter
of Mr.. JOIN STEW ART, of Owen coun>
ty, is one of those up-headed, valiant
little Kentucky women who eventually
become the mothers of heroes. She
had fixed her heart on Mr.. DICK AM
DERsQN and matrimony. Her daddy
had no fancy for RICHARD as a son-in-
law. The young folks planned an elope-
mcnt for last Sunday. The old man
heard of it while on his road to church
and turned back to Illustrate the pro-
posed hegira of the "sole daughter of
his heart and home" He found DICK
at the gate with horses, waiting for
Miss FRANKIE. The old man met and
nabbed her just as she emerged from
the house. And they twain wrestled
all over the yard, the old gentleman,
in his frantic efforts to "hold her back,
Kidding her of every stitch of clothing
except her sh-whatever the women
call the garment, when she escaped his
clutch and reached her lover. The old
man followed, and DICK grabbed and
held him while Miss FRANKIE mount
ed her horse. He then tripped and
laid the baflled daddy on his back, and
soon, "swift as the winged coursers of
the air." the determined lovers were
flying over the country towards Owen
ton, where they were married. The
preacher says Miss FRANKIE was the
prettiest but the thinnest dressed bride
he ever saw.

Niagara's Wear and Tear.

". L. neraldS correspondent.
As is well known, the theory is that
gradually throughout the long lapse of
centuries the fall has by slow degrees
worked its way from the opening of the
chasm several miles below. II this the
DRY be correct, the upward progress of the
fall has been exceedingly slow, for the
oldest inhabitant is able to indicate but
brief changes in its formation. Careful
observers, however, detect an obvious
change in the conformation OF the Horse
shoe Fall. The incessant rush of the
mighty cataract has perceptibly deepened
the indenture near the American side so
that its shape is quite different from what
it was year ago. The great bulk Of wa
ter flows over this fall and it is quite nat
ural that the wearing away of the edge
should be more rapid and perceptible here
than at other points. The American Fall
does not show as straight a line as here
tofore, proving very clearly that time is
working its changes here also. Some 60
80 far as to assert that the fall will grad
ually work its way up to Buffalo; but the
possibility Of such an event is not very
likely to disturb the equanimity of the
hotel-keepers or cause any diminution in
the value ofreal estate. There is one pos
tive change that old tourists particularly
notice, and that is the absence of the old
lighthouse. No vestige of it remains,
and it is a matter of general surprise, con-
sidering the fine view obtained from its
summit, that a new and more massive and
substantial structure is not erected in its
place. OF course the necessity of such a
tower, as far as sightseeing is concerned,
is obviated to some extent through the
elevators enabling visitors to view the falls
from the suspension bridge towers; but
then the poetic effect is vastly different,
for in the latter case one gets only a
bird s-eye view of the falls, and in the for
mer one stood on the brink of the awful
chasm itself, and could realize more fully
its grand and overwhelming sublimity.
But the spirit Of utilization seems to be a
paramount idea at present. During the
past winter there has been erected upon
the American side flour mill over the
narrow stream, the fall from which was
long since christened the Brides Veil"
The mill runs day and night, and there
never is any lack of water. 1t would not
he a thing so much to be wondered at if
some enterprising Yankee, imbued with a
broader and more comprehensive utilita-
rian spirit and larger grasp OF inventive
genius, should turn the whole fall into a
gigantic raceway for gigantic mills.

precisely what the outpouring of your

The candidates for the Legislature,
Messrs. Rowe and HOOKER, have pub
licly defined" their positions. Both
favor the reduction of the salaries of all
officials, "from Governor down" This
is unmitigated nonsense. Salaries are
not half high enough now to induce
first-class legal talent to accept seats
upon the judicial bench, which is real,
ly themost important Office in the State.
And then, thesalaries of the State Off
Gals form but small item in the bud
get of expenses. If these gentlemen
arc really anxious to relieve the poor
dear tax-ridden people from the burden
of monstrous and unnecessary taxation,
let them level the lance of extermina,
ton against liquor license. The State
realizes not over 49,, 900 year from
this covenant with death and league
with hell, and expends not less than
$50, 900 to punish criminals created
by the liquor traffic. There is tangi-
BILE and stubborn enemy of the public
veal, depleter of the public purse, and
breeder of nearly half million of dol
lars of unjust taxation. Have these
gentlemen the nerve TO assault it in be-
half of the public good? We shall see.
Mr.. HOOKER claims that the farmers
constitute nine-tenths of the. population
of the State, and yet own only about
one-tenth of its wealth; and Jumps IL
the extraordinary conclusion that lit
is the result Of bad legislation" That
is curious. There is not, and never has
been, a statute enacted against the az,
ricultural interests of the people. And
If there were, the farmers themSelve,
were their own oppressors, for, during
the past twenty years, the farmers in
the Legislature have outnumbered those
of other callings and professions ten Il
one. Mr.. ROWE, who wants to save
ut the spiggot by the reduction of sala
ries, wants 10 knock out the bung will

we hold it to be absolutely essential to the

the several States shall be maintained in all
their rights, dignity and equality, as the most
complete and reliable administration of their
