A Timely Suggestion.
Ed. sourH KEss,rucklAs:

Id. ooUTH hENTUCKlAN:
Oneweck from to day Circuit Court
commences and we wish to present
the following roads for the early con
sideration OF the Grand Jury. The
Cadiz road from the town limits to
the fork with Princeton road has ba-
sins extending across the road that
will form ponds the first heavy rain.
The side bitches should be plowed out
and the basins filed. The bill near
the fork is almost in an impossible
condition. The abrupt fall from
rock to rock, has crushed about
twenty wagons during the year, for
which the ovcrscer oil the road ought
to be held responsible. Some parts
oil Majors lane is in bad condition,
and Green's lane-the terror OF
teamsters-has no side bitches to
drain the water off, but is lowest in
the center of the road which will rem
der it impossible il not fixed before
winter. The county court should
make liberal appropriation to mac
adamize this lane since there is prob
ably more heavy hauling done over
this road than any other in the coun-
ty. The Palmyra road leading IRON
the town limits is generally in bad
condition, and the pond formed in
Forbes lane, by an embankment
thrown up for the purpose is absolutely
ridiculous and should receive the at
tentlon of the Grand Jury. Many
parts Of the road leading to Fairview
are neglected and the ovcrscers should
either work their sections or throw up
their positions in order that others may
be appointed. These are only lew
of the presentations that will be made
during the court. While our road
system is bad enough the negligence
in its enforcement is even worse. The
Juror who rides to court over neglect
ed sections every morning should
present them, and the supple tool that
comes up to testify that road is and
has been in good passable condition
when it has not been looked at during
the year should be sent to jail. Let
the Grand Jury do its duty and our
road system will be most highly APP
preciated. H..

Adulteration has become science.
We water our stock, and sand our SUI
gar, and dilute our prayers with many
words, and have fallen so low that we
use glue'in our ice cream. What an
appetizing combination is glue and
cream. We don't know what the
glue is made of, and for that matter
we don't know what the cream is made
of, though we have strong feeling
that any self-respecting COW would
repudiate the idea that she had any
thing to do with its manufacture; but
when the glue and the cream are prop
erly compounded one is able to buy a
heaping plate Of the refreshment at
the old price. while the profits Of the
saloon keeper are indefinitely increas-
ed. The beauty Of the glue is that j,
makes the ice cream frothy, and de-
ludes the unwary into the belief that
he gets great deal more than he pays
for, There may, however, be a NOR
al side to this matter, and if glue ia
ken internally will only make some
men stick to their word, and make
others stick to their business instead
of other peoples, it will cease to be
an adulteration and become boon.

Judge NJ. G. Given, Of Dixon, has
submitted plan for a Congressional
convention to the papers of the Dis.
trict with the request that they give
their views ON the subject. His idea
10 to divide the vote Of each county
pro rata between tho candidates,
The plan is very Questionable and
would cause endless complications.
For instance, suppose Christian coun-
W should hold convention In which
there were 225 voters. Now If l29
>of these were for Petit and l02 for
Clay we would have the delegates in
structed 10 cast l23.295,hs of Q votes
for Petit aud l02-225ths for Clay,
Multiply this state of affairs by the
eight counties in the District and II
would require City lightning calcula-
ors to count the votes In convention.
Thoss who were In the late Superior
Court convention here and saw'the
trouble caused BY the fractional votes
4 Hardin county. got enough of the
70 rata plan. Let us stick TO the
(, ii fashioned plan and give tho
whole coupi y % the candidate having
majority " she county convention.

The Willard Hotel Lottery scheme
has turned out 10 be gigantic
swindle, just as many people expect
ed. After receiving thousands OF
dollars from the sale Of tickets
Whips has made the announcement
that the drawing will not take place.
The mortgages have been forec!osed
and the property has been sold and
so have the ticket-holders. Whips
claims that all the money received
was paid out for advertising, but few
people believe that the drawing"
was not q dishonest scheme to fleece
the public, from the beginning. 1t was
sanctioned by the Legislature aud
many people allowed themselves to
be swipdled out OF hard earned dol
lars. Whips should be tried for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.

The Defamation Of Mr.. Mckenzie

In this column we publish q
card from Hon. Jas. A. Mckenzie,
declining to make the race for the
Democratic nomination TO q seatin
the 4Sth Congress. IIe is forced to
take this step by the critical condi-
ton of his eyes, which are again
growing worse.
This announcement will be received
with Infinite regret all over the Dis
trlct. No man ever occupied a warm
er place In the hearts of his cohstitu-
ency than has Mr.. Mckenzie during
the six years that he has represented
the Second District. He has served
his District, hls country and his party,
with a distinction aud fidelity sell
dom equaled and never excelled. He
retires from public life with the con-
fidence. the esteem and gratitude of
the whole South and the heartfelt
plaudit of "Well done thou good and
faithful servant from the people OF
the District. Retiring from the race
when his denomination was almost
assured, he has shown a noble, self.
sacrificing spirit that will nat be for
gotten by the people of his District
and his State. lie had only few
days before entered into an agree.
ment with hia competitors not to
make personal canvass of the Dis
;Tict, AS soon as his determination
to withdraw was formed, he immed-
lately wrote to them releasing them
from the agreement. He will in a
few dajs leave for Eureka Springs 5,
for the purpose Of taking course OF
treatment TO restore his failing sight.
II Is the earnest desire of his friends
every where that he may succeed and
that the complete restoration of his
vision may be speedily accomplished,
Mr.. Mckenzie modestly returns his
thanks for the honors conferred upon
bin by the people whom be has
seryed. In honoring him they have
honored themselves. His gallant
fight for the bill reducing the taxson
quinide has made the name of "Qui-
nine Jim," a household word in every
home In the malarial districts. His
tobacco bill made him the acknowl.
edged champion of the agricultural
