IT should be our constant aim to be
cleansed from secret faults" Abund-
ant provision has been made in Jesus
Christ for this. These personal de-
ficiencies may be unobserved by our
selves and others; we may regard them
as unimportant, but however small in
our own estimation, it is perilous to
excuse ourselves, and not to seek the
remedy offered in the cleansing blood.

4" Honest Horse Men,
The Springfield Sunday Republican''

The Springfield Sunday Republicans
Northampton correspondent says:
1.-The races of the driving association
have made about the only stir OF the
week, and that was largely among the
booksellers, who were pretty well dis
gusted with the way in which the horse
Jockeys euchred them out of their
spare change. The managers and
Judges went in for square horse-racing,
but the drivers and horse-owners took
the bit in their mouths and had the
horses go to the speed that had been
agreed upon by certain cliques of
schemers. After some of the heats
the mob would swarm about the judges
stand, maddened at the way they had
been duped at the pools and shout:
This is a regular fraud Here's
another skin game go in for fair
race etc. The judges were not back
ward in reprimanding or in declaring
all bets off, when they saw what snide
games were being played by the Bos-
ton jockeys, who evidently are taking
an outing, by making a circuit through
the country races. Those who pay
their money to see horses trot don't en-
JOY seeing a dead, cold steal such
as was perpetrated several times yester-
day. This roasting of their money
will not be relished or endured by the
spectators. While all the evils can not,
perhaps, be wholly eliminated, the
sport would reach degree of respecta-
bility, if the track should be put under
the National Associations rules
This is very nice Sunday reading, nc
doubt; but we would like to ask how
came all these honorable betters to bt
so easily taken in and done for?

DIFFERENCE IN MILKERs.-At the
Mississippi experiment station, in order
to ascertain the extent of the loss from
careless work in milking, five COWS
were given to one of the workmen, A,
who was supposed to be good mixer,
and who MIXED them for two weeks,
weighing each milking from each COW.
Nothing was said to him concerning
the object of the trial. AT the end of
the time, the same cows, with the same
feed and care, were given to another
workman, b, who was told the object
of the work. The results are shown

THE ADVANCE PLOW,
Manufactured by the Ann Arbor Agri-
cultural Co., Ann Arbor,
Michigan.

We take pleasure in advising you
that we have selected the best and
cheapest Plow ever offered in Nc
Minnville. They have been made
with special reference to the needs of
our section, and we can say, unhesi-
tatingly, that our plows and prices
are such that no market can offer as
good a pillow for the money. Our
pillow is fully warranted. After 5 or
10 days trial, if it does not do as good
work under the general circumstan-
ces as any other pillow, we will allow
you to keep the pJOw and we will re-
fund the money.
Economy should be practiced in
every household. Just listen and we
will give yOua "pointer." All plOws
except the Advance, sell for $3.50,
$500, $3.50, and $1,000. We will sell
you the same thing under another
name for less money.
We will save you from 80 cents to
$500 on the plow. Now, we guaran-
tee our plows to give perfect Sdti$fdc.
ton. We could produce any number
of certificates as to lightness of draft,
etc, if necessary.
We hope, and insist on all who in
tend purchasing plows this season to
come and price and examine our
plows before purchasing. We have
established reputation for head
quarters on prices, we are still in the
lead, and will give you better pillow
for less money than any house in
McMinnvile.
We intend to place one or more of
our plows on the premises of every
man, woman and child in Warren
and adjoining counties this season.
Our points, bolts and fixtures of every
kind are cheaper than any other
goods of the kind.
Our interests are mutual, therefore
it is policy to buy our pillow, because
you get the same work for less
money. Come and see us.
Respectfully,
MCMINNVILLE HARDWARE Co.

The Southern Lumberman says: If
the people of the upper Cumberland
valley are ever to have transportation
for their products it must be by river.
The idea of Il railroad to supercede
the river is simply absurd when we
come to compare the cost of building
it with the cost of locking and dam
ming the river. People not familiar
with the Cumberland river ought to

steamboat man who has been run
ming the river for forty~siX years,
says that fit was straight it would
miss all the good farming country,
and with a fall Of inches to the
mile would be too swift for naviga~
ton. The river has been navigable
every day this year. Less than four
million dollars will make it a great

the wealth of the country, and open
up pleasant, cheap homes for thous~
ands of families.

real editorial work of the Times begins

sheet, containing the title, advertise
ments and some lengthy articles, is ready
printed, and the editor has given his
general orders. He is now comforting
with his leader writers, who will shortly
retire to their rooms. From 11:3O
o'clock the printers boys will come and
fetch the copy every ten minutes

special staff of compositors assigned to

OF the other matters forming the paper.
As every reader of the Times knows,
there are certain pages unalterably allot.
ted to the same subjects. This must
save lot of trouble, and the same re.
mark applies to the fixed headings on
the columns of foreign news. For how
many weary months were we daily con-
fronted with the same heading, Egypt,

Others Of similar general import.
Page five has become of excep-
tional importance since May 4, 1874,
as from that date the Times has received
its continental letters only by wire. At
Paris it owns wire from 9 p. NJ. till 3
A. NJ, going from the Bourse to the
newspaper offices. Berlin and Vienna
have daily special wires, and all other
European capitals have them, but with
out fixed time. Philadelphia and Cal
cutta have the wire on certain days.
Thus every one knows that long Indian
telegram will appear in Mondays edition
of the Times, and that whether there is
any important news to send or not.
