On Friday morning last an elderly
man named George Hayes was killed on
the railroad track between Kenton and
Marydel. He was walking along in the
direction the cars were going, and from
the fact of being deaf and not hearing
them, stepped up on the track just as
the train was passing. He was caught
under the wheels and terribly mangled.

The stars and stripes wave over
beautiful country. Diversified
with hills, valleys. plains and noun
tains with almost every shade of
climate, capaOle of producing from
it's rich soils every crop and every
fruit for the convenience and COM
fort of its citizens. Embedded
among its hills and mountains are
the best coal, oil, silver and gold,
and all over its present inhabited
portions millions upon millions of
intelligent people live and prosper
by their labor. aided by splendid
commerce, and a currency equal to
silver and gold. Over this vast
country waves the grand old flag,
protected by the constitution and
laws of the Republic, and known
and respected in every civilized
country as the United States of
America Men live. for it--thous-
ands upon thousands have offered up
their lives to save it in the hour of
danger, and hundreds and thousands
of homes have been made desolate
and sad by the attempt to sever, by
force, the union of the states, in the
heated contests of political sectional
strife, have been fully tested, and
the result known to the world. Par
tisan madness is again on the road
to bring about another conflict, and
those engaged in it never stop in
their madness to calculate the depth
and strength of the love of the mil
lions of her citizens, who are ready
again to sacrifice all for an undivid-
ed union, one flag, one country, one
people, one constitution and one set
of laws, to be obeyed while they
exist, and to be peacesbly modified
or changed to meet the wants and
interests of her citizens. Partisans
to a delusive sectional dogma must
learn that the citizens who are de-
voted to the welfare and love their
country will never permit fraud and
corruption to destroy this glorious
union, and pull down its stars and
stripes to crafty the wicked ambi-
tion of some party. The sooner
such class of our citizens learn to
respect and love the old flag and
obey the constitution and laws of
the union, the better it will be for
the peace and prosperity of this un-
exampled country.
