A Monumental Lie.

Capt. Barrett made the NEws.HERALDi
Office call last week and desired US to
say that the report in the Hillsboro Ga
sette of the Republican convention held
in this place for the selection of dele.
gates to the Judicial Convention, and in
which the Captain was reported as get
ting off one of "his old time ready.made
speeches." was monumental lie. The
fact is that the Captain did not make
any speech that day. We had an opin-
ion OF the Gazette's report from Capt. g..
B. Gardner. His observation of the re-
port was that it only contained two very
big lies. We did not question Mr..
Gardner as to whether the Barrett speech
was one of the lies or not, but long
enough ago we learned not to go after the
Gazette unless there were great many
more than two lies in report Of any
thing Republican as reported by that
conglomerating sheet. And Capt.
Gardner further said in reference to the
report that two lies was very small ir'
regularity on the part of the Democratic
organ.

In the absence of the official returns
it is now, who can guess the closest to
the population OF Hillsboro? The NEWS
HERALD does not venture guess, but
we have heard guesses on the street and
by those who would be expected to give
q very close guess. What is the popula-
tion of Hillsboro? About 4,200 souls.
This, II it is near correct, will show
gain of nearly thirty-three per cent. in
the last, decade. This is a very good
showing for town that never tries to
boom itself, but grows rapidly without
booming. However, we are not pre-
tending to give official figures, but
merely giving guesses. Yet the popu-
lation OF the Hill City may be safely set
down as not far from forty.two hundred.

In another column will be found a
resolution passed by Council at its regu-
lar monthly meeting last Monday even.
ing in regard to criminals and their
labor. As will be seen by the resolution
the old offenders or incorrigibles are the
ones who are to be sent to the Cincin.
natl work house at the discretion of the
Mayor. Mayor Dawson has frequently
expressed himself as being tired and
somewhat disgusted in having to sentence
the same individuals again and again to
jail and the workhouse. The new pro-
vision for the employment OF criminals
is likely to have good effect in this
community and quite likely on the
criminals sent to pay their fines in labor
at Cincinnati. It will not prove a picnic
to those who are unfortunate enough to
be sent. The brazen colored women
who made the county Jail unbearable by
their dirty songs few weeks ago may
thank their fortune that this new order
OF things was not adopted at the time OF
their imprisonment. Ifit had been they
could have kept the time to their songs
by exercise on the washboard. The Gin
cinnati work house is we'll named. 1t is
place where much labor is required of
those who are unfortunate enough to be
sent there. Hillsboro may feel gratified
over the action of its Council in trying
to lessen crime in our midst. 1t is true
the action may also lessen our popula-
ton, for great many people die in the
Cincinnati work house. But should any
of our chronic offenders be called to
heaven or to the other warm country
while working their time at Cincinnati
they may feel little comfort in being
told that Hillsboro will try and get along
without them.

Gone With McGinty.

If the saying "That the good die in
YOUTH is universal in its application,
then standard time, which was only
about month old in, Hillsboro, and
which was sent to bed with McGinty
last Monday evening by action of the
Council, should have been spared on &C.
of its youth. The prestige gained by
"Old Sol' in his six thousand years of
rule as the indication OF the time when
it shall be called day and when night
will be difficult job for railroad corpor-
ations or town councils to set aside.
But Hillsboro is not the first town which
has adopted and as quickly repealed
standard time. Council did the right
thing last Monday evening in acting
promptly on the petition presented for
the repeal OF this misnamed time. 1t was
not standard but falsely SC, named,
Hillsboro has standard time now.

The entertainment given at City Hall
by the w. R. G. was success in every
way. The kindergarten songs and plays,
under Miss Ella Patterson's efficient and
patient training, was pronounced by all
TO be lovely-the little "tots" going
through with it all in the cutest way i'm.
aginable, and the "May. Pol" song, with
the graceful weaving Of the bright.
colored strands, by the little white.robed
maids, formed a beautiful moving
tableau that will not soon be forgotten
by those who were fortunate enough to
see them. The flag drill by sixteen little
girls dressed in the National colors |!

without becoming previously mixed up,
was surprise to everyone, but she went
through with flying colors, and is ready
for another. Captain Will Cooper, who
had them in charge, has the reputation

GIBBS patriotism had arisen to such a
height as to impel him to celebrate,
which he did with the multitude at
Greenfield, returning last Saturday to
finish his job under Jim Erwin.
