We are pleased to ohserue thai

We are pleased to observe that near
yevery paper in the State joins us in
our demand for pure, able, sober,
discreet and intelligent men in the
Legislature. The Greensboro Mes
sengcr proclaims that it is "done
withthe professional politicians and
chronic office seekers" That's the
correct doctrine, and we hope the
masses of the people will speedily
become inoculated with it. In nine
cases out often, the man who thrusts
himself forward for office is the least
deserving. Men of real merit are
neither brazcn-faced nor Obtrusive.

The case of John Feland against
Muhlenberg county, IN which plain
tiff asked mandamus against
the county judge to compel him to
levy the railroad tax, was tried in
the Circuit Court last week and de-
cided in favor of the county. Judge
Grace gave it as his opinion that the
tax could only be levied by the judge
and board of magistrates and rem
dered judgment accordingly. This
is victory for the county, although
the same question had been tried and
decided in the same way heretofore
in the United States Court, this is
the first instance in which the Ques-
ton has ever been tried in the State
courts. The plaintiff gave notice
that he would take the case TO the
Court of Appeals, but there is but
little doubt but what they will de-
eide it the same way.-Echo.

home adjoins that of another young
woman, and only wall separates the two
parlors | was calling there the other
evening, and she proceeded to show me
how it worked Going to the corner
where the coal vase stood she took up the
poker, and in an accidental sort of way
raped on the wall In minute a piano
in the room beyond rolled out Home,
Sweet Home, in most significant tones,
and she then explained that it was her
way of getting rid of tiresome callers
Just after the piano stopped we started
out to make call, and the young lady
stepped across the yard and called to her
accomplice that it was all right was
standing at the gate watching the ma
neuvers, and the next thing l saw was the
accomplice's head poked out the window,
and in a deep, sepulchral whisper she
inquired: Did it send him? Did it send
him?' Then l laughed great big 12x14
laugh of the horse kind, and the way that
accomplice jerked in her head and slammed
the window shut was enough to dis.
locate her cervical vertebrR and jar the
paper off the walls of her palatial resi-
dence
