THE TOBACCO FAIRS.

One of The leading enterprises Of the
town, if it is not indeed the most dis
tinctiye feature of its business in

Association, which gives tobacco
fair every spring and fosters and cn-
courages, thereby, one of the leading
industries of Southwestern Ken
tucky. The farmers in the vicinity
takea deep interest in these fairs and
the result is that there is such active
competition for the prizes that the
very finest grades Of tobacco are
found on hand every year, and the
fairs arc always occasions Of great
Importance to the town This asso-

A VERY STRANGE STORY.
Father and Daughter Living limo
Gently Together as Man and
Wife.

ALBANY, Oct. lS.-A remarkable
story comes f ON Schoharie county.
The writer says that few miles
from Schenectady resided couple
whose names are not given, the wife
being much the junior of her hus-
Iband. They had lived together hap
pier until few days ago, when the
awful discovery was made by the
husband that he was the father of his
wife, having married her in total ig-
norance of the, existence OF any rela-
tionship between them, while the
girl was equally ignorant on the sub
ject. The explanation of this pecu-
liar marriage is that eighteen ears
ago the son of wealthy farmer
eloped with fifteen-year-old girl and
settled in Esperance, la. They lived
there several years. In the first y car
of marriage a daughter was born to
them. The young wife soon wearied
of her husband, and taking her child
with her eloped with drummer.
She lived with him at Chicago and
her husband could find no trace of
her.
The daughter was unkindly u:e.l
by the man, and being Ligh-spirit cd
she fled from home at the age of
fourteen. On the train she met a
gentleman who discovered her situa-
ton and placed her in the home of a
respectable family. The gentleman
was much older than the girl, but
their friendship soon ripened into
love. When the girl became seven
teen years of age the two were mar
ried and moved to Schoharic County,
the former home of the bridegroom,
They soon became the happy parents
Of little girl and were living bliss.
fully together.
Now the young wife's mothers
love had died, leaving his victim ul-
provided for. She learned that her
daughter had married and settled in
Schoharie county, and she resolved to
seek her out and make her home with
her. When she arrived on the scene
what was her horror TO find liel
former husband and daughter living
innocently together as man and wife,

A VOICE FROM AFAR.

Louisville has Just suffered from great

people who did not believe she could be
again inun lated-who held that no such
high waters can occur in the future as in

declares that no chances will be taken in
the future that work will now be done
which should have been performed long
ago, and adds words that the people of
this section should also heed cit is all

see another such food as this in the Ohio

confident prediction was made after the
inundation of last February. Those who
voice such prophecies base them on the so.
called 'law of chances, which is nothing
more than the universal superstition of
gamblers, on which all their systems for
beating the game are constructed. The
truth is, we should be prepared for these
floods at any time. The location OF the
Ohio valley, its topography, its climate, its
innumerable water courses, all tend to sub
ject it more to these great foundations than
any other section of the country, and the
sooner the inhabitants recognize this fact
the sooner will they make ready for future

EDUCATIONAL AID.

1t is worthy of note that the Tourgee-

State has s., 900, 900 in bonds, currency,
ETC., and 40, 900, 900 acres of land as base
for her school fund. Nearly all this land
is of value. Texas, therefore, is better

BSGLAsD's GENEROUS OFFER.

England made to US the very liberal and
timely offer of a suitable ship to send out
to the Arctic for the relief of Greedy. But
there are some men who cannot permit
their enmity to England to sink out of
sight for moment in order to recognize
graceful act, and so in Congress the
whole people are Inundated by pitiful
opposition by one of the dynamite agi-
tators, to the usual and proper acknowl-
edgment. The reason why the Queen gives
US the ship is clear. She happens to own
a vessel, built especially for Arctic service,
and that has been severely tested by one
voyage to the far North, and has proven
her great superiority and fitness for the
work. All civilized nations are anxious to
have the new expedition sent off speedily,
and therefore England says to America ::
"True, you have ships in plenty, but why
buy when we have a tried one at hand,
which you are welcome to use, while all of
yours are untried." 1t was generous offer,
and the nation is proud to know that the
Navy Department has accepted it in the
same broad spirit of kindness and unself-
ishness in which it was made, despite the
protest of Finerty. Irish-English politics get
into most of our affairs, but in the name of
common humanity, let them not be i'm
ported into such matters as the Greedy re.
lief expedition.

scorn labor" The opponents reply, =" Not
SO the hatred of labor does not spring
from intellectual training, but has its
genesis in the home where parents lead
their children to think that they are to be
for better things than those OF laborlous
toll" While we do not believe that the
properly conducted higher schools teach
pupils to scorn labor, neither do we be.
lieve the charge to be true against parents,
as rule. Parental pride has much to do
with the matter, and there are some so
shortsighted as to inculcate in their chill
dren the idea that the best pursuits are
those in which no manual labor is de-
manded. But we believe these foolish
people to be vastly in the minority. Most
men who have boys growing up seek to ina
press upon them the usefulness of manual
training, and the fact that what they get
they should earn, and that no boy fit to
be a man either fears or hates labor.
We do not perceive in the system
of high school education in this
city, for instance, anything whatever
that is an affront to labor. On the
contrary, the High School this municipal
ity has SO long maintained has been the
opportunity of the poor, and the pupils by
a vast majority have been and are children
of parents of such circumscribed means
that without the High School such youths
could not have enjoyed the intellectual
culture it affords. If we except the class
les, there is very little if anything taught
there which the mechanic in this day of
progress and discovery should not know
theoretically as we'll as practically to en-
able him to achieve success. We elevate
and dignity labor by vesting its votaries
with the power of reasoning, and that must
be fortified by information, not gathered
up by painful effort, but impaired accord
ing to methodical and well-directed sys-
tens. Unquestionably in many of the
higher schools there is rubbish taught and
merely ornamental branches, and SO tar as
such schools are related to the public sys-
TEN, the sooner these superfuities are cut
off the better. But the mathematical
branches, the culture of the English
tongue, the study of philosophy and chem
istry. ETC., should be pursued by every
pupil in the land to whom the opportunity
offers, and in largest part this presents
only in the High School.

A SOUND OPINION.

The Cleveland Herald, which is not
given to expressions of opinion without
due deliberation, is impressed with the
fact that mere political machinery, and es-
pecially the old political machinery in both
parties, has fallen into disgrace, and that
on all sides the I" bosses" are receiving no.
tice to quit. The developments of the
past year clearly justify the conclusion of
the Herald. But the bosses are not re-
ceiving notice to quit the party, but simply
to take their places in the ranks, and to do
duty as other members of the party do.
Intelligence must govern hereafter, and
not spoils, rewards and patronage. That
the sentiment of party men is fixed in this
respect there is now no longer any doubt.
