WILSON'S MILLS, KY, Oct. 9, 1879.
Editor Herald.
Our school at this place, under the
care of Mr.. Muscar Heaven, Is progress
ing finely, and seems to be quite inter-
esting.
Mr.. j. III. Wilson's Mills are doing a
furnishing business. He is also build
ing substantial stock barn that is to
cost between $500 and $500.
Mr.. Ansel Wilson is building distil-
lery, the capacity of which, I'VE under
stand) is to be six barrels of the ardent
per day. While We commend the spirit
of enterprise possessed by Mr.. Wilson,
IRE do doubt the propriety of rearing
such an establishment i'm the world.
We understand there are no less than
seven flat boats building between Hines
Mills and the Falls of Rough river dis
lance las the bird fliesl of seventeen
miles. They are to be laden with hoop
poles and slaves. We presume there
will be scarcely a hickory switch left.
Mr.. Mart Mitchell raised cabbage this
season that is so large that they can not
be forced into barrel without halving.
Mrs. Stephen Daniel raised some of the
boss beets. One we noticed was 10
inches in circumference-grew Is inches
above the surface of the ground and -
inches below, making altogether 90
inches in length. Who can beat this
beet? If any one should doubt this, call
and see for yourself. L. y. QUIRE.

SIX IITri FEET ON THE FENDER.

In my heart there liNeth Il picture
ora kitchen rude and old
Where the fire-light tripped DER the rafters,
And Redeemed the roofs brown mold:
Gliding the steam from the kettle,
That hummed ON the foot-worn hearth.
Through all the liyelOng evening,
Its measures of drowsy mirth.
Because of the three light shadows
That freScoed that rude old room
Because of the voices echoed
Up mid the rafters' gloom
Because of the feet ON the fender
six restless, light little feet;
The thoughts of that dear old kitchen
Are To me SO fresh and sweet.
When the first dash on the window
Told of the coming rain;
q, where are the fair, young faces
That crowded close to the pane.
While bits of fire-light stealing
Their dimpled checks between,
Went struggling out in the darkness,
In shreds of silver sheen.
Two of the feet grew weary,
one solemn Autumn day,
And we tied them with snow white ribbons
Leaving them there by the way.
There was fresh cldy on The yJellder,
That rain-filled, sobbing night;
For the four little feet had tracked il
From the grave on the brown hills height
q. why on this darksOme evening
This evening of rain and sleet-
Rest my feet all alone on the hearthstone?-
q! where are those other feet?
Are they treading the ways of that Wisdom
That will lead us together abovee
Or have they made steps that would show

Coleman ut Mt. Carmel to u large and
attentive audience and seemed highly
approved as one of the most eminently
practical lectures that has ever been i'm
pressed upon the minds of our young
ladies Of this and adjoining communities.
We feel confident thai this and the
''young mans Sermon" which was de
livered ut this place by Bro. Coleman, a
few months ago, has accomplished
more real good in this vicinity than a
hundred ordinary sermons would be
calculated to do, suffice it to say, he
only has to be heard to be appreciated
and the good results are manifest.
The Rev. j. Nj. Pea will preach at the

The Press and the Public.

There are many people who do not
seem to understand that a newspaper
not only enjoys rights but is bound to
perform certain duties. This failure to
understand the exact relations which
exist between the newspaper and the
public has lead to much UNNECESSARY
complaint from individuals conceiving
themselves 10 have been injured by the
publication of the truth. Ii should be
remembered first that the publisher OF a
newspaper contracts with certain per-
sons for a consideration, to furnish them
the current news of the day, and espe-
cially with information concerning the
public welfare. If he faithfully per
forms his duty he must inevitably tread
ON tender toes and cause many hearts
to ache. Soon after the art of printing
was introduced into England il was re-
gar,led as "a very dangerous thing and
was regulated by the kings proclama-
tons, prohibitions, charters IF privileges
and of licenses, and finally by the de-
crees of the Star chamber. The ever
to-be-remembered long ParliamentabOl-
ished the Star chamber supervision,

the king to regulate the press. A very

revive the ''imprimatur" of the Star
chamber and il was against one of the
orders made for this purpose that Mil
ton directed his famous argument liz
is John Millions masterpiece, and the
most conclusive argument ever made in
favor of the freedom of the press. He
wrote il, as he himself said, ''in order to
relieve the press from the restraints
with which il was incumbered; that the
power of determining what was true
and what was false, what ought to he
published and what ought to be sup
pressed, might no longer be entrusted TO
a few illiterate and Liberal individuals
who refused their sanction to any work
which contained views or sentiments at
all above the level of the vulgar super
stition." The speech was written in
1914. 1t produced the effect intended.
1t was not, however, until 1884 that the
press in England was properly free.
The office of the licenser was abolished
during the time of Cromwell. The men
who framed this government incOpOra-
ted in the organic law this provision:
Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion or prohibit-
ing the free exercise thereof, or abridg-
ing the freedom of speech or of the
press, or the right of the people peacea-
bly, to assemble and to petition the gov
eminent for a redress of grievances
The several states of the union have
been careful to make like provisions i'm
their constitutions. Section 14Ofarticle
