of several men who had charge of cleaning
vaults 1t was gathered that bad vaults and
sewers had good deal to do with the bad
odors. Many vaults were planked up only,
A.
They should be capacious and cemented, and
prop erly. One vault was mentioned, which
had not been cleaned for Is years.
There are several quite bad nuisances on
Com mercial street where sewers empty into
the head Of docks AT low tide the sewerage
flows over the bottom of the Dock and the

Judge Wilkinson, of the Trigg
Democrat, last week copied our item
about the turnpike hands attempting
10 mob the contractor because he
failed to pay them, and then reckless
ly seized his pen and wrote down the
startling news that Christian county
turnpikes Hwould never be built, be-
cause the hands could not get their
pay" Mr.. Higgins did give up the
contract, but the unfinished work,
about one mile, was In the hands Of
another contractor before tho Demo-
crat containing the item was issued.
We can't understand the Judges
mouvcin opposing Christian county
enterprises so strenuously. 1t seems
to US that he could find more profita-
BILE employment in advocating Trigg
county enterprises than IN opposing
ours. Probably he would benefit his
town and county by turning his atten-
ton to that "fine hotel 10 be built In
Cadiz."
Once more we tell you Judge, Chris.
tian county has built turnpikes, Is
building them noe, and wi,l build
them In the future.
The small gap in the GAINESVILLE
pike will soon be closed, and when

finish the road through Cadiz to Can
ton. We hope our friend will re.
fleet next time before he makes sucl
sweeping statements, and not let hi!
zeal lead him astray. II he has none
of that spirit which 'sraises mortals tc
the skies" he should not cultivate tina
