THE REToRTE COURTEOUS.
A SanctImonious ProhibltIonist Is
Cornered by San Antonio
Fireman.

A Sanctimonious ProhibltIonist is
Cornered by San Antonio
Fireman.
A rather funny incident occurred a.
our fire company's delegation was on its
q friendly game of poker for the beer to
be had at the next "beer station" and
two elderly gentlemen watched the
game closely. Bye and bye the players
got thirsty and one gave vent to that
immortal chestnut, Its a long time
between drinks" and then they
remembered that they had supply Of
cocktail mixture, some toddy mixture
and whisky straight In one OF their va
Uses. These liquors were taken as an
sntidots for snake bites (P) and they
thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to be
armed against the reptiles. After they
had drank they passed the bottle to the
two gentlemen who watched the game.
One declined gracefully, saying he
never drank; the other, In pompous
way said young man do you want to
insult %e?" NO" answered answer ID, the fire
dulge. and Therefore offered you
drink" "That's all right" said the
speaker in lecture style, "but do you
know that has slain thousands"
YES" responded the fireman, 81 know
that, IN L dare say it will kill a few
more before the world passes away"
Continuing his lecture, the speaker said
In quite pstrOnizing way, "FOr
twenty-five years / drank whisky
like you. One day 1t made me
sick. 1 stopped 1t and am all the better
without 1t. For ten years l smoked to-
baooo like you. 1t made me sick.
stopped smoking with the same benefio-
ial result. Young man take my advice,
stop drinking and smoking and you will
be all the better for it." This
conversation was conducted In q tone
that all in the car could hear it and
our fire boy did not like being leo
tured publicly In that style and he
resolved to get even with the sanctimo-
NOUS prohibitionist by cornering him.
So he said: ~ suppose that you some
times eat largely Of your favorite dish"
Eyes, cir" was the reply. "Have you
never been made sick by a surfeit Of
food?" yes, sir" was the an
swer; 81 am bound to admit
that indiscretion In that way
has punished me-" "Then," responded
the fireman, "why In the - don't you
follow your teaching and stopped eat
ing" The other passenger laughed
heartily at the courteous retort, and the
disconnected prohibitionist and his
friend sought their seats and remained
mum to the end Of the journey.

A Strange Incident.

While the San Antonio delegation
were attending the State Firemen's con-
v9ntiOn, message came from the
American consul at Paso del Norte that
Loeb's store was on fire, the town in
danger OF a big oonflagration, and asked
the assistance of the Ell Psso fire com
pany. The boys gladly responded to the
danger sverted. This is probably the
first instance of the firemen Of one
country extinguishing, or assisting to
extinguish, fire in foreign country.

"The citizens and the Grand Army
of the Republic, of Jackson, paid Cap
tain Jones a compliment by inviting
him to deliver the Grafton there on
Decoration Day. The Captain has a
host Of friends in Jackson County, land
from the best information we have
he is by good majority the choice of
the Republicans of that County for
Judge, but there was no contest and
Mr.. Tripp was allowed to select the
delegation. So we suppose they will
feel in honor bound to give him at
least a complimentary vote. ."-Vinton
Record.
There is degree Of misinformation
in the above. It is true that Capt.
Jones has host of friends in Jackson
County; but it is not true that he is
by good majority the choice Of the
Republicans Of this County for Judge.
While there was no contest in the
selection Of delegates to the Judicial
Convention from this County, and Mr..
Tripp selected the delegation, the re-
suit would have been the same had
any one seen fit to contest that selec-
ton. The Jackson delegation will go
to the Portsmouth Convention with
the one purpose in yiew-the nomina-
ton of the Jackson County candidate
and the outlook now is that he will
be nominated practically without op-
position.

CINCINNATI'S CENTENNIAL.
ONE HUNDRED DAYS AND NIGHTS OF
SUPERIOR ATTRACTIONS.

On the 4th of next July, there will be
inaugurated in the city of Cincinnati Ito
continue one hundred days and nights
one of the most magnificent displays of
the arts and sciences, and the products of
the diversified industries of the land, ever
witnessed in this country-not excepting
the Exposition held in Philadelphia in
1876.
Ample funds were secured over year
ago to provide for the necessary adjuncts
of the affair, and at the start it was
placed on substantial basis. This was
done by the clear-headed business men of
the Queen City, who voluntarily taxed
themselves to the extent of one million
and fifty thousand dollars. in order that
nothing should be wanting to render the
celebration of the Tooth anniversary Of
the first settlement of the Ohio Valley an
unqualified success. With part of this
generous sum, massive buildings have
been erected for the purpose, and these,
supplemented by the world famous Mu-
sic Hall-a permanent structure costing
a million dollars and capable of holding
5000 people gives-to the enterprise bet
ter facilities than were engaged by any
thing of the kind in the Western coun-
try.

In the He raid of June 14th

In the Herald Of June 14th, a let
ter was published, giving brief his
tory of the the Democratic Conven-
tion held at st. Louis. Some portions
of the letter, giving a description of
the vast city were very entertaining,
but there was one part of the letter
that struck me very forcibly, which
I quote: II had talk with a gentle
man from southern Alabama, concern
ing the status Of politics in his sec
ton Of the country. He remarked
among other things, that there was
just as free and untrammelled ballot
in Alabama as in Ohio-that Of course
the negro vote was influenced if pos
sible, by argument, as it was infu-
enced in the North, and that the shot
gun policy existed only in the minds
of those bitter partisans who hoped
by its promulgation to secure votes
for the Republican party" Did the
writer of the above quotation believe
that? The negro was influenced by
argument if possible" and the argu-
ment that influences them in the best
manner is a good, double-barreled
shot gun. However, it is not surpris-'
ing that in attending Democratic
Convention that could swallow tick
ct with Cleveland at the head of it,
Democrats would have their stomachs
in such condition they could down
almost anything that came along.
Now, I'll give quotation from
speech made by General Bradley T.
johnson, on Confederate Memorial
Day in Baltimore. The General said:
"The South is progressing, she is not
dead. These old Confederate soldiers
and their descendants elect ninety out
of every hundred Congressman, thir-
ty four of the United States senators,
