Careless Mail Clerks.

worse, among the mail agents in this State.
Half of the time the Rene papers do not
reach this office regularly and other State
papers on the line of the C. P. do not get
here when they should. We get two SilOe'
States every other day. There is no doubt
that some Of this carelessness is on the c. &
C. road, for mail that should reach here from
the Eas. and West in the morning frequently
fails to get here until the afternoon train ar
rives from Hawthorne and the South. This
matter should be looked into by the officials
and the postal clerks made to pay more strict
attention TO their business.

The Track.

AT meeting Of the Dayton Jockey Club
last Teusday evening Alex. Brann was chosen
Supt. of Construction and empowered to go
ahead and build the track. Thursday men
were set to work grubbing the ground, and
it will be but short time before the track
will be in order. J.. Nj. Houston surveyed
the track last Tuesday, and he declares it is
splendid piece of ground for that purpose.
All who have seen the location pronounce it
the best piece Of ground for half-mile
track that can be found in the State. The
ground is a black loan that will not become
hardened by use and which will make very
soft and springy track. There is but one
place that there is any clay and that is short
strip on the home stretch. This can be TAX
en- out and filled in with loan at slight ex-
pense. The grade on the track is very light.
All that is now necessary is for those who
have agreed to contribute towards the ex-
pense of building the track to hand in their
donations. The TINES takes the liberty OF
thanking Messrs. Sweeney, Torreson, Fur
long, Dempsey and Raycraft, Of Carson, in
behalf of the Club, for the liberal contribu-
tons they made towards the enterprise.

Perhaps Louis might have gone on
speaking in his faint, yet clear heard
voice. if the door had not now been sud-
denly opened and Natalie had not swept
into the room.
Brenda at once realized that she had
tried to listen and failed. The girl rose
from her brothers couch, still holding
his hand and facing the intruder.
Natalie at once spoke. before Brenda
had time to do so. "My place is here at
my husbands side, and here I shall re-
main," she said.
"Oh, know why you came in like

look at her husbands sister as might
have flashed from the eyes of striking

groan burst from Louis. Brenda flung
herself once again at his side. His face
had now grown blush, his eyelids were
strangely futtering, and at the verges Of
his lips had collected slight wreath Of
foam.
"LouisI" called Brenda wildly. Louis!
speak to me" But she had heard the
sound Of his voice for the last time in
life. About two hours later he died, be-
seged by recurrent spasms of what ap-
peared keen suffering, though old Dr.
Southgate, summoned at last. and watch
ing him with deepest attention, declared
that, being wholly unconscious, he es-
capped all pain.
