On the question of putting out q Wheel ticket the Reflector says,
 We have been so often asked what the Pope county Wheel will do towards putting forward eandi- date's ticket. that the matter has be- come wearisomely monotonous. We answer. one and all, in this eonnee- ton, that we do not know what the Wheel of Pope county may do, hut the outlook at present is favorable for no ticket, To be more emphatic
 -there is strong probability that the Wheel wlll not put out a ticket"
The Russellville Democrat., 1886-05-19

Evidently referring to somebody near home, the editor extends friend ly aaviee to the brethren as follows'
 There is one prominent fact for Wheelers who are interested in bringing out state ticket to duly consider If you are determined on standard bearers, demoerutie coun ties can't afford to send delegates to that convention which is called for the 9th of June, who have been identified with the republican party, Some Wheelers will learn the force of this paragraph when too late"

Begin at Heme.

Aslovenly carpenter was once heard
at weekly prayer meeting to pray
with great fervency for the spread
of Chr1sts cause-a cause which he
disgraced and hindered in his sphere
every time he stood at his work
bench. When he ended his prayer a
hearty "Amen!" came from a servant
who put her mistress out of temper
a hundred times day by her care
lessness.
A clerk also was there, who, al
though he taught class in the miss
ion school on Sunday, was always
late at his employers store on week
days. He whispered amen" to, and
meant 1t, so far as he knew himself.
A lady hsarer, as she listened, resolv-
ed to join the Church Missionary so
ciety, and then went home and found
unreasonable fault with her cook
And others also felt warned to do
something for Christ, who never
seemed to have thought that relig-
ion, like charity, begins at home. The
mechanic who is powerful in class
meeting, and weak at his trade, is no
credit to the profession he makes
The servant who drops tears feeling
~ at religious services, and drops
dishes unfeelingly in the kitchen. has
her tenderness altogether too much
on one side. And it is q poor kind
of reli zion which seeks opportunities
to set others straight, but ovcrlooks
its own crookedness.-Sundsy School
