Our Invitation for 1888.

You are required to come to this Fair
Tuesday, October ID, and remain all the
week. Bring all your family but leave the
dogs at home. What kind of Fair do you
suppose this is going to be? The best in
the state. No Intoxicating drinks, no gam
bling devices. Beet of order will be en-.
forced and all are expected and required
to conduct themselves as ladies and gen.
ilemen. Good crops and good behavior
prevail in Charlton county. We have the
most intelligent and cultivated people on
the face of the globe, more wheat and corn
than any county, and no neas nor mad
dogs. Cleveland and Harrison will not be
here, but all the rest of the world will be-.
This will be an old-fashioned Agricultural
Fair, with just such an attachment in the
shape of horse races as would please the
most fastidious Kentuckiar. Visitors can
rest assured of good weather; it has been
spoken for in time. If there is anything
that could be said to induce a person TO
come, | wish could say it. Come to the
Fair. 1t is health, knowledge and pleas,
ure. Close your houses; put up a siga,
"Gone to the Fair to stay week" The
atre will be in full blast. Good hotel ON
the grounds, two good hotels in town, six
nice boarding houses, and marry saloon.
Ten million pounds of tobacco raised in
Charlton this year. Just think of it! l!
persons desire to change their cash pre-
miums for town lots in EeytesviEc, an
early application should be made t. the
secretary. Parents are requested to bring
all their children, and have their faces
clean. Everything we have will be in the
front windows of the Fair. The world is
invited. Won't you favor yourself and
your little ones for just once in your life
and come? You are welcome. All We
have is yours, but please don't take it away
with you. Respectfully,
WM. L. HILL.

You cannot afford to waste time
in experimenting when your lungs
are in danger. Consumption always
seems, at first, only cold. Do not
permit any dealer to impose upon
YOU with some cheap imitation of
DIR. Kings New Discovery for con-
sumption, coughs and colds, but be
sure you get the genuine. Because
he can make more profit, he may tell
YOU he has something just as good,
or lust the same. Don't be deceiv-
ed, but insist upon getting DR..
Kings New Discovery, which is
guaranteed to give relief In all
throat, lung and chest affections.

Japanese Coating for sl,ips,

Tho Japanese admiralty has finally de-
clded upon coating tho bottoms of all their
ships with a material closely akin to the lac
qucr to which we are so much accustomed as
Especially of japanese furniture work. AL
though tho preparation differs somewhat
from that commonly known as japanese
lacquer, the base of it is the samc-viz, gum
lac. as it is commonly termed Experiments
which have been long continued by the i'm
pcrial naval department have resulted in af.
fording proof that the new coating material
remains fully efficient for three years, and
the report on the subject demonstrates that,
although the first cost Of the material is three
times the amoun; of that hitherto employed
the amount of bookings required will be re-
duced by its use to the proportion of one to
six. y vessel of tho Russian Pacific fleet
has already been coated with tho new prep
aration, which, tho authorities say, com
pletcly withstands tho fouling influences SO
common in tropical waters.
1t occupied the native inventor many
years to overcome the tendency of the lac to
harden and crack, but having successfully
accomplished this, the finely polished surface
of the mixture resists i'll an almost perfect
degree the liability of barnacles to adhere or
weeds to grow, while presumably the same
high polish must materially reduce tho skin
friction which is so important an element
affecting tho speed of iron ships Tho deal
ers i'll gum lac express the fear lest the dc.
mand likely to follow on this novel applica-
tion of it may rapidly exhaust existing
sources of supply.-Scicntific American.

Not Fit for-the Business,

Few people have an idea how few there
arc who could become BARRIERS by any amount
Of application have had nineteen appren-
tices at various times only seven of whom
are tonsorial artists. Some boys are too ner-
vous to acquire the ability, and particularly
cigarette smokers. Others are too lazy. Still
others have not the suaveness necessary, for
successful barber must be polite man.
Others have not the essential mechanism or
cannot attain to the requisite lightness Of
touch. But morbid peculiarties arc great
factors in uniting candidate. For in
stance, have just dismissed an apprentice
because of hisinordinate antipathy to warts
When customer who is the possessor Of q
wart is down in chair at the boys mercy
he shaves all around it with the utmost care;
then devilish grin distorts bis features, the
expression being the funniest ever saw, and
be cuts OFF the wart. The customer rises aud
discovers his face bleeding terribly, and the
result is a row and lost customer. John

Tho Course of a Convict.

~ should like to have you, warden, trace
for me n convict's course from tho time he is
sentenced until he is set to work here
"Well, let mo sec; that is easy for starter
We will, us you suggest, suppose the man or
woman has received his or Ler sentence. Tho
crimes or mislemcanors for which they aro
sentenced are chiefly petit larceny. intoxicu-
tion and assault in the third degree Prisoners
are divided into two classes: the short
termers, us VIC call them, or those who hnvo
been sentenced for minor otfcnses, and tho
long termers, or those who havo been con-
victed Of graver crimes. All, however, have
to go through the same course after sentence.
From the courts they arc brought here in tho
prison van. Upon arrival they are ushercd
into my office and the following qucstonsaro
asked them: How old are youp 'Whcro wcro
you borne What is your occupation!' Can
you read and writcf 'Aro you married or
singlcr Have you ever been in prison be-
forcf To tho last question, unless tho person
las CHANGED to have been hero before, tho
answer is invariably no. Tho questions
answered, tho prisoners arc searched and
their valuablcs, if they have any, taken from
them and put i'll the safe, where they arc
kept until their release, when they receive
them again; then suits of prison clothing,
black and white striped for the men and blue
for tho women, are given to them and they
are taken to tho bath houses. There they
arc bathed and afterward tho men aro
shaved and have their hair cut. Tho cloth
ing which they woro in, if worth saving, is
taken to the smoke house and fumigated
with sulphur, and then put away to DO kept
until tho prisoners are released. After being
cautioned by tho keepers in reference to tho
prison regulations they are assigned to their
cells and tho next morning put to work.

The Future of Armies.

Small and large armies have each had their
day. Tho present age is one of largo masses
of fairly trained soldiers, but it is by 10
means certain to mo that tho timo may not
yet come again when all nations will once
moro resort to small standing armies of tho
most highly trained and disciplined soldiers.
We may find that tho soldier, to be at his
best, or to be even thoroughly efficient, will
require such long and, above all things, such
constant training, that nn army consisting
of n people in arms will be impossible. In
fact, wo may find out by and by that COM
parativcly small standing army of carefully
selected men, tho flower of the nation, highly
skilled in all manly exercises, in all military
arts, and kept i'll constant state of perfect
training, is n moro effective weapon for
fighting purposes than the slow moving and
moro or less unwedy armies of the present
day.
1t is only by deep study of military his
tory, of the military arts and sciences in all
their phases, that tho heaven born genius can
lie converted into tho successful commander.
Not even Jomini was moro thoroughly con-
versant with all tho great campaigns of
Cesar, Hannibal Tercnne, Marlborough and
Frederick tho Great than Napoleon was. Yet
what is the lesson tho history of tho Ameri-
can war teaches usl All those whose names
will be forever remembered in connection
with it by the English speaking race through
out tho world We're educated soldiers Lee
and Grant, Stonewall Jackson, Sherman,
Mcclellan, Sheridan, Longstrcct, Johnston,
Hill, and n host of others, whose names arc
and will long be household words in their
own states, were all graduates of West Point,
that most excellent of military colleges
