License Laws,

We have a great army of Prohi.
bitionists, but few of them are polit.
ical party prohibitionists. A politi-
cal party, call it what you may is
something besides a Prohibition
party. No great moral reform was
ever inaugurated and carried
through by q political party. We
are sometimes told that the Repub.
lican party freed the slaves. This
Is historically false.
Political PrOhibitlOnists are con.
stantly saying that laws which Ii.
cense liquor saloons, are the most
iniquitous ever enacted. They say
such laws are in themselves sinful.
This being SC, they are, of course,
worse than no laws at all. This
again is the same as to say, that q
law which restricts an evil instead
of forbidding it, is worse than no
law at all. Would not our world be
in a pretty fix to adopt such ethics
as this in promoting moral reforms
There is hardly law of long stand.
ing on our statute books that has
not been amended and improved
Most every law involves moral is.
sues, so that we need not say, II re.
fer only to laws that are sinful
And now the PrOhibitiOnist begs
the question, in order to make Out
his point, by saying that all license
laws are sinful. How does he know
all such laws ale sinful? Grant
that they are below what we want
and what we ought to have and
that sad evils grow out of them
what can we do? If we do not dc
all we can to suppress evils, we
must be held responsible, but if We
cannot get all we want, must We
seek to destroy what We have?

Price Of Hay.

Good hay is always in demand
and brings a remunerative price to
the farmer in this country. Par.
ties pay $40 to $25 per ton
for baled timothy hay. In this
locality good hay in bulk, brings
sixty cents per hundred pounds. II
meadow land is treated right il
will produce two tons to the acre
And it requires less labor to pro-
duce it, than any other class OF
farming and pays better than corn,
wheat, or cats. A man with ore
hundred tons of hay can count $500
net for his crop. You say there is
no. market for it; yes there is, in
horses, mules, cattle and sheep. 1t
pays to bale hay for market. The
great south is to be supplied and il
must be baled to ship it.

A Relic Of the Past

Aaron Sharp, in cutting and
splitting an oak tree into boards
near Maryville, found imbedded in
the centre cut of the tree, a large
lead ball, seventeen inches from
the outside of the tree. How and
when it went into the tree is sim.
ply a conjecture. Evidently to us
il must have been during the In
dian war or else the war of 1865
and from the position it would in.
dictate a remoter period than the
sixties of this century.

lea Esq. Mr.. Chumlea will resign
his office OF Clerk of the Circuit

field open for the nomination o.

mde known their wants through

Chumlea did not feel like he wished
to enter into q fight for the Office by
travelling over the entire county to
see every body between now and
the nomination. So he takes the
appointment of Clerk and Master,
which is not worth as much but
with his pension work he will be
able to make good living.

distinguished preacher defended
the Israelites in borrowing of the
Egyptians and then running off
with the property, on the ground
that as slaves they had worked for
nothing, and hence had a perfect
right to carry away the property of
their masters. I thought if that
doctrine had been preached in the
South in days Of slavery, coat Of
tar and feathers would have been
his reward. 1t was strange that a
man of learning had not discovered
that the Hebrew word translated
"borrow" means "ask," and is 50
rendered in our new Bible version.
The truth is, the Egyptians were SO
urgent to have the Jsraelites leave
that they gave them whatever
they asked. To borrow in our
sense of the word and carry off the
property for ones own use, is a
crime. God ordered his people to
ask for jewelry, and it was given
to them. They had right to take
all with them and hence were not
culpable.
Some Of the most prominent
ministers failed to pronounce cor.
rectly some words. Horizon was
pronounced horizon; obligatory
was pronounced obligatory; dost
pronounced dust, by theological
professor; and = distinguished au-
thor was called Dost, with long o
instead of short o. The most strik-
ing defect in two of the greatest
preachers in the city was indistinct
enunciatiOn. The brilliant Park
hurst has this failure.

1t was not encouraging to the
ministers that so few were present

edifices on 9th avenue, capable Of
seating 1900 each, at three services

present. Morning congregations
generally are large.
