q wonder" said a Licking

ton enthusiast, now much money Lexington
has planted in Kentucky mountains to help
develop them. While think Lexington is
the best place to invest money in the hope
of sure and increased return, think any
money planted in our mountains will also
make a sure return. Don't you know that
believe Lexington will be immensely ben.
Gifted by this mineral development. As we
are the nearest city to the mountains, rs
well rs great railroad center, j believe this
will be a great distributing point for that
section ofcountry. Here will come the buyer,
as well as the seller ofmountain timber, ore
and coal. think Lexington is destined to
become a large city. Talk in Lex
ington Press.
If Lexington contained Il few more level
headed citizens like the man above referred
to, it would be well with her. Here in the
in the wide, wide world, and if the citizens
of Lexington had will compared to tbier
wealth they would soon build railroad into
this section.
The eyes of Il large section of
the country with money TO invest are turned
toward the land flowing with milk and hon.
cy, which is beyond the Kentucky River.
Kentucky is about the only State in the
Union in which, under the circumstances
there would spring up an apparently organ
lied effort to hamper railroad building into
such a territory The present Legislature
should afford to all railroad companies de.
string to penetrate that marvelously rich
section fair and liberal charters. The inter.
csts Of the people should be protected,
while they are given every opportunity to
encourage railroad construction. The mis-.
fortunes of a few unwise counties that bit
off more than they could chew ought not to
shut the doors of others to the glad tidings
of Joy contained in the inspiring foot of the
quadrupcd shod with steel. There's mil.
lions in Eastern Kentucky if Kentucky will
only get them out.--Louisvilic Post
In a recent speech in the L q.
:. Senate, Senator Brown, Of Georgia, said :
" Whisky and tobacco should he taxed by
the States, SO as to relieve the people of the
states of a large part Of the tax ON lands,
horses mules, cattle, hogs sheep and other
property. The people are now taxed about
600 IA year on liquors and tobacco,
and they pay the tax to support the State
government in addition to this. They should
he relieved of the double tax, and the whis
ky and tobacco tax should be paid into the
State treasury for the support of the State
government and not into the Treasury of
the United States. The internal revenue
system is one of spies, informerS, domicili.
AIRY vexation, frivolous prosecutions, illegal
seizures, cruel oppression, and murder"
Marshal Whiltan, Ashland,
Ky, last week arrested Edward a. Mace, at
Fire Creek, w. Va. lie is charged with be-
der of Lizzie O"Toole, at East Kentucky
Junction, in December last. The officer
claims that Mace acknowledged his guilt,and
made a clean breast of the affair to him,
fastening the guilt on himself and the three
men now in Jail at Grayson, Ky, named
Stamper and Moore. Mace has been under
detective surveillance for some time, bat
letter written to his girl led to his exact 10.

At Jackson, Tenn. last week,
George Cora, colored Baptist prencherwas
sentenced to six years in the penitcntiary
for stealing horse from the editor Of the
State Wheel.
9 Served him right. Anybody that would
steal from an editor deserves punishment.
But where in the d. did the editor get
the horse, is a question that puzzles us.
The Metropolitan Bank of
Cincinnati closed its doors Monday, and j.
