COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
FREE TRADE.

The revolt against Cleveland, on &C.
count of his free trade message, is gath
ering strength in the South and i'll the
doubtful States of New York, New Jer-
sey. Connecticut and Indiana. The
Democrats in those States do not dare
to 60 before the people on Clerel md s
platform.-l Shoshone Jouruul.
The subject is scarcely worth discus
sion, but as . matter of curiosity we
should like the Journal to point out q
few of the "Free Trade" principles en-
bodied in the Presidents MESSAGE. The
journal reminds US of pompous in
dividual in the east few years ago
who was constantly harping on the
Constitution of the United States. One
day we said: "Mr. s., did you
ever read the Constitution of the United
Slater" The gentleman admitted that
he never had read it but hls political
friends had told him that the Constitu-
ton said 80 and 80, and hence it must
be true. We doubt if Bro. Allen ever
read Cleveland's message, but Republi-
can papers brand it as q Free Trade
document, hence it must be that the
President advocates the abolition of n
tsEiff on imports and the establishment
of Free Trade with oil foreign nations.

Prohibition.

BY request we announce that Walter
T. Mills, of Ohio, will be present at "a
Muss Convention 20 be held 1t Carson
City. March Oath. when "All persons in
Nevads who believe the traffic in alco-
holic beverages can only be overthrown
by a triumphant party organized for
that purpose are invited 10 attend" We
do not think that Nevada will prove a
very inviting field for the Prohibition
ist, and we fear that the National Orga-
nicer, Walter T. Mills, late candidate
for Lieutenant-Governo of o hio on the
Prohibition ticket, will be Disguised
with the effort to organize Prohibition
party in the sage brush State. Mr..
Mills will also lecture in Virginia City

An infatuated ka n.ns Judge.

judge E. @. Ruggles Of Wichita, Kan
sas, eloped about t, n days ago with a
young lady whom hr had employed M
htenogrApher. He wrote letter to his
wife, whom he Ind abandoned for the
fair young manipulation of the type
writer. that he did not intend to return
to Wlohtn, and that she should make
the best Of his actions. Hs expressed
no regret for having heartlessly abau-
doned his family, and leaving them
psnniless. An mq TRY developed the
fact that he had mortgaged SONS his
property three times. claiming to be
giving first mortgage in each case.
He also sold S25, 900 worth of real e.
tate for oash, though the property was
heavily mortgnged, he having borrowed
money on IL before he sold 1t. He also
murtgaged his library, which ia said to
b. one Of tho finest in Kansas. for $25,-
600, and mortgaged his residence to
two agencies for more money than it ia
worth. Those whom he swindled have
offered reward for hi1 arreF, IND put
deteotivrs on his traoS, so TINT there ia
q possibility Of his being captured, and

J:dge Murphy finished his charge to
the jury in the above case, and il was
the general impression that the charge
was strongly in favor Of the defendant.
At 10 o'clock p. M the jury came into
Court stating that they could not agree,
but Judge Murphy informed them that he
could not discharge them and that if
they had not reached a verdict by mid
night they would be required to remain
all night. It was understood that the
jury stood nine for acquittal and three
for conviction, but this is mere conjec-
ture. No verdict was reached at IL o.
clock and the jury composed themselves
as best they could for the night. It
seems almost certain that no verdict will
be reached, and no doubt before this IL Q
jury has been discharged.
A San Francisco dispatch of the 14th
instant says: Tho jury in the case Of
John A. DINING, charged with the mpE,
der of Henry Benhayon, reported this
morning that they were unable to agree,
and the Court discharged them. They
stood seven for acquittal and five for
conviction.

Death Of Barney G. Scott.

Mr.. b. C. Scott died at his home in
Birmingham last Saturday night.
He spent a number of years of his
boyhood and young manhood here,
and was popular favorite with all
who knew him. His many warm
friends here deeply regret his death,
and extend their sympathies to his
bereaved wife and children. We
clip the following from Tuesdays
Nashville American:
The remains of the late Barney G.
Scott reached this city yesterday
morning at $3.50 O'Clock. The Louis
vile & Nashville Railroad had kind
ly placed a special car at the dispos-
al of the family of the deceased, in
which the journey from Birmingham
to Nashville was made. Mr.. Stafford
Smith and the immediate relatives
accompanied the remains here.

Good Results.

"From January lst, 1887, to Janu-
airy LIST, 1888. Mrs. Frank Worley, of
Ellettsville, made 2,4O8 lbs. of but
ter; from this amount was taken
what was used for the family, and
the remainder was sold for $5l1,96.
She also sold about 800 worth Of
milk. The average number of COWS
MIXED was fifteen head, grade Jer-
seys, Holsteins, and Short Horns.
This herd of cows are the wearers of
chime Swiss bells, twelve in number,
the large Holstein cows wearing the
heavy, or bass toned bells, while the
small, or treble bells, are worn by
the little deer shaped, bright eyed
Jerseys. The cross of the large Hol-
stein, milk and beef producing cat
tie with the butter producing Jersey
is proving to be superior grade of
dairy CATTLE"
We take the above from the Ell
letsville, Ind, Citizen. Mrs. Worley
is sister of Mr.. Frank r. Davis,
formerly of this place. Cannot equal
ly as good results be attained in
Warren County. 1t certainly pays
to keep good cattle, and give them
the proper attention.

shares of 800 each, which sum will
be expended in necessary additional
buildings, and ip thoroughly furnish
ing and equiping the school.
If this move is carried to a success
full copsummation, and it should not
be allowed to fail, a new era of pros
perity is in store for the College, and
the consequent beneficial results upon
the town will be of vast Importance.
Every citizen of McMinnville should
give the matter all possible aid and
encouragement. The $50 shares of
stock should be taken by $50 different
persons, thus enlisting the greatest
number in its support, and if more
stock is necessary, let it be raised.
In additiontO the good results which
will accrue. to the school and the
town, the stock will pay handsome
dividend. .. ,..
1t is said by those who sre taking
active part in the measure that if the
contemplated improvements are
made $50 boarding pupils can easily
be secured for the school. We believe
there is energy and enterprise enough
in McMinnville to raise all the
stock necessary, and we hope to see the
new building erected during the pres
ent summer. There is not more
favorable location in the South for a
large female school, and all that is
needed now to make G. +. College
such is little push and good man
agement.

Sunday Sickness.

The fame of McMinnville has gone
far and wide as one of the heaIthiest
towns in all of our beautiful south
land. Nature has smiled bountiflil-
ly upon us with every condition and
advantage that can conduce to robust
health. We have a climate unex-
celled for salurity, and malaria fees
from our mountain breezes as the
mists of the valley disappear before
the morning sunbeam. Our invigo-
rating atmosphere carries the bloom
of youth to every cheek it fans, and
we have the best and purest water
that ever percolated through the bo-
som of old mother earth. The natur-
al drainage of our town is so perfect
that disease finds not single hiding
place, and a board of health here
would be looked upon as a first-class
burlesque. Our physicians live and
rear their families here just because
it is such healthy place, and do
most of their practicing somewhere
else. Notwithstanding all this, there
is one malady which seems to be rap
idly on the increase here. 1t has al
ready reached rather alarming pro-
portions. 1t is variform indisposi-
ton, and may be classed under the
general head of Sunday sickness. 1t
is astonishing to note how many per-
sons are perfectly able to attend
every call of business or pleasure dur
ing the six week days, and yet are
too unwell, too delicate, or too much
indisposed to attend divine service
on Sunday. There are four churches
in McMinnville, with an aggregate
membership of seven hundred or
more. Services were held in three of
them last Sunday morning, and the
aggregate attendance was less than
four hundred, or about fifty per cent
the membership. 1t is also prcba-
BILE that good many of those who
did attend are not Church members.
True the weather was a little cold
and inclement, but not sufficiently so
to have deferred many people from
business or pleasure. The churches
were all quite comfortable, and there
was no difficulty in reaching them,
as McMinnville has the best streets
of any town in the State. If church
members will consider the matter for
a moment they can readily see that
this state of affairs is very discourag-
ing to the pastors. We append a
prescription for Sunday sickness
