Again we attempt to give you

rible weather for the past few days.
Business activity and progress are
the constant watch words of old Dyer.
She clearly evinces determination to
walk to the front, and with citizens
who are religious, cultured and refin-
d,who know nothing but cordial hos
pitality, and who are ever alive to
her business interest, she certainly
will succeed. She is not q corporate
body and will never be. According
to the law of our state, no license can
be granted for tipping liquor within
four miles of all institution of learning,
and being bitterly opposed to the ex'
cessive use of whiskey, we heartily
say, no corporation. Since the aboli>
ton of the contemplate saloon, peace
and goodwill reigns supreme we have
no lOungers, no street brawls, but lit
tie work for the useless climbs of
law" no starving widows and shiv-
ering orphans, no miserable wretches
preparing themselves to the damnable
grave Of u drunkard, the hunted VIC
tins Of the odious dime asker. Away,
forever, with the cursed associations OF
the abominable saloon.
We had the pleasure of attending
the Teachers Institute held atKenton,
the 18th and 18th inst, and also Of
enjoying the unbounded hospitality of
that people, and especially did we
heartily enjoy the society of Miss Mol
lie and Miss Matte, two OF Kenton's
loveliest and most accomplished,young
ladies. "Old Fatty" was there and
he buried Sir John Moore. I'll tell
you, Mr.. Editor, if you want to be

London Truth: "Apropos of photo
graphs and Photographic lawsuits, a
sturdy peasant from the Tyrol, says
the Fremdemblatt, was standing the
other day at shop windowin Vienna
looking at a reproduction of the fine
group by Herr Rauch, the Three
Graces," which are, of course, as BELTS
their profession, in the simple attire of
our first mother. The peasant did not
seem insensible to the perfection of
form, but after while he burst forth,
"What fools women are all over the
world ! Only to think that those girls
have not got money enough to buy
themselves suit of clothes, yet they
spend the little that they do possess
in having their photographs taken!"

Too Fast.

The sun was recognized as a relia-
ble thermometer until the Louisville
and Nashville r. r. was built, ard
then the people hereabouts went back
upon old Sol and adopted Louisville
time. No one can explain this depart,
ure or the necessity for it. 1t is a
fact, however, that the jewelers. regula-
tor, the merchants aud the house
clocks, watches, brass, silver aud gold
all over the city are just twenty min
utes faster than they should be simply
because Louisville time is all the 90.
True, this is a fast age, but we insist
it is gross injustice to Milan to make
her only twenty minutes fast. Why
stop here. Let US be at least two
hours faster than Louisville or any
other place. Mark Twain, when in
Hong Kong, China, was presented
with beautiful. watch. Not long af-
ter he sailed for San Francisco, Cal,
and upon his arrival there, he had occa,
sion to examine his watch. Imagine
his surprise to find it day after to NOR
row. There is just as much reason
for Marks watch being ahead of time
as there is for Milan watch or clock
to be ahead. Now if we propose to
have town, and if we can rely upon
the sun as s:.standard:of time, suppose
our jewe. lers turn their regulators back
twenty minutes and thus get the COM
mnnity straight upon this important
question.

Correct.

The biggest.fool in the!world is the
man who thinks that because he stops
his paper for himself he thereby stops
the paper itself. And the meanest
man is the one who gets the trust of
the newspaper publisher by fair prom-
ises, and after receiving his paper for
several months, wants to stop it, but
has not the face to come and stop it
like man. He merely allows it to re-
main in the postoffice uncalled for
Winchester Home Journal.

The Tennessee Central r.. r..
BoOms. 1t is carried by q
ROusing Majority.
Milan Sends Greetings to Tren-
ton and Huntingdon.
Let the Good News Thunder All
Along the Line.

On Saturday last the proposition to
vote fifteen thousand dollars in bonds
to secure the Tennessee Central rail-
road was carried by rousing MAORI
ty-only Is votes appearing against
it. Milan's eyes are wide open and,
by this act, she shakes off the lethargy
which had seemingly settled upon her.
A third railroad will give US advanta-
ges not enjoyed by any of the adjacent
towns competing for the trade that
properly belongs to this market. As
a railroad center, our growing young
city will occupy an enviable promi-
nence. Trenton responded nobly to
the demands made upon her liberality,
and an almost unanimous vote here
settled the question, and gave life to
this much desired enterprise. 1t was
our opportunity and we seized it.
There is no longer any doubt as to the
ture of Milan, provided her citizens
work discreetly and tremendously.
That she will be a city of no mean
proportions, can hardly be doubted.
Col. Cole, the Jupiter 7Onans in south
ern railroad circles, will in due time
let out the contract for building the
I. g. r. R., and inform the peO-
pie when the road will he in a run
ming condition. Hoping before long
to hear the deep toned whistle of the
new road, and congratulating the citi-
zens of Milan upon their enterprise in
securing it, we await further informa-
ton and developments.

Madame Bonaparte is reported
to have died in the Presbyterian
faith, in which she was born. On
Tuesday she asked that some one
would pray for her, and a clergy
man who was summoned made a
prayer which seemed to impress her
greatly. Some hours after she re-
peated his words relative to the
Atonement, and added softly.
That's in the Bible These were
her last coherent words. She is
said to have brought up her child in
the Catholic faith from gratitude to
the Pope, who refused to annul her
marriage. She was far from an ir-
religious woman, and is known to
have prayed devoutly every night
and morning.

Mrs. Jefferson Davis is described
by correspondent of the Boston
Herald as refined, matronly per-
son, plainly dressed in black, She
talks well, and knows the French
language and literature. She ap-
proves the education of the colored
people, and is hopeful concerning
their future. She says that she has
nothing of the mathematical faculty,
and not long ago, desiring to pay
negro for some wood in her hus-
bands absence, she attempted to
find the value with pen and paper
of a fractional part of it. She
covered nearly sheet of paper
with figures, but was not satisfied
with the result. At last the negro
teamster, with great humility, re-
marked, "Missus, your figures are
not correct. Let me do dat sum
for you" But do you know how
to cipher, Jimmy % eyes, Missus,

him the pen and paper, and Jimmy

Subscrib Tor a Good, Reliable News
paper.

|
rhe DAILY CHRONICLE, and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE,
will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
by enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit contin-
uation of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not a Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we have battled for Re
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
a truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate Of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
AS newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our telegraphic dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit Of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infOr>
nation is obtained,
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
precints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
close attention, and be made entire
Iy correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter
ested in the publication of our in
dependent, fearless, reliable Repub
ican journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
IF the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction of values, we have decided
20 reduce the price of the WEEKLQ
WING AND CHRONICLE to suit the
times. In the future we will send
our weekly paper to subscribers on
he following.
