Life does not seem to he too short for
some men to write column after column OF
elaborate argument in order to besmirch
the fair fame of city with the criminal
omissions of wealthy railroad corpora
ton.
SIT may be a good joke, that it is
cheaper to impose upon community than
to bear the expense of saving the life which
you have imperiled, but the justice it ex-
presses would disgrace the natives of Gen.
trail Africa.
Yesterdays weather report shows

most horrible sufferings, without moving a
muscle to relieve them1

The steamer w. A. johnson came
down from Paducah in the Gus Fowler's
place yesterday afternoon. She will remain

at a time is plenty.
