Gen. Sherman said to some young
girl graduates in New York the other
day, "Tal<e the world as you find it
and then work. Labor is honora-
BILE. Clean the streets rather than
borrow II dollar from your friends. :"
OF course the girls will take the
world as they find it. They can't
helpit. They, also, know that labor
is honorable without being told.
But, as to cleaning the streets rath-
err ;han borrowing a dollar of their
friends, we totally disagree with
Gen. Sherman. We say to the girls,
borrow n dollar, or a hundred, of
your friends rather than join the
street cleaning force. Our mothers,
wives, sisters, daughters and sweet
hearts have nobler mission than
street sweeping. Let them sweep
the floors if need be, but draw the
line at sweeping the streets.

THE croAnrrrE.-In response to a

The CIGARErTE.-In response to a
correspondent who asks for the facts
to show that the cigarette is injuri-
Gus, an exchange cites the follow
ing:
Experts say that very low grade
of tobacco is put in the cigarette,
and its continued use impairs diges-
! ton and the mental faculties
Epilepsy, insomnia, insanity and
the liquor habit are all brought on
by the cigarette Several boy Gig
arctic smokers in Richmond were
sent to the insane asylum last year.
A boy in New York smoked ciga-
rettes until he murdered compan-
/ ion. He cared nothing about his
crime or his trial. All that he
! youth in Buffalo cut his throat, and
then puffed a cigarette while the
life blood oozed from the fatal CASH
Several boys in New England have
recently died of catarrhal pneumon-
ia caused by this habit. The re-
cords show in New York in the past
year nearly dozen cases of suicide,
known to have been caused by the
excessive use of cigarettes. The
names, dates and circumstances
were given no. long since in the
Erening Sun.
Medical men, police, superinten-
dents and other close observers all
unite in condemning this little to-.
bacco toy. 1t is insidious and dead
ly. When it does not kill the boy
it kills the mind.
No sensible man who has had any
experience of cigarette smoking, or
has any knowledge on the subject,
will deny the conclusion to which
these facts points. The cigarette is
decidedly very injurious to every
faculty of body and mind. Like all
vices it is especially injurious to.
and its effects most noticeable in
the young and growing body, and,
unfortunately, on children and
youths the vice has it's main hold.
These are good and sufficient
reasons why the abomination should
be abolished; but if they were not
the vice should be done away with
on the ground of being an offense
to the public nostrils.
How THE FOURTH WAS SPENT AT
BRIdHToN.-The day dawned clear
ly and everyone hoped for cloud
less day, but were much disappoint-
ed, for about l o'clock the rain COM
menced to fall, and was showery the
rest of the day. Promptly at $3.50
a. M, the NJ. E. Sunday School of
Rockcastle, assembled at the river
to await the crossing of the Baptist
Sunday School, of Concord The
welcome reception and the order of
marching was something seldom ex-
perienced in the country. At the
grounds were not fewer than 200
persons. Both schools treated free
to all refreshments. To outsiders
the customary price was charged.
Everything passed off quietly.
Going further up the road, we.
found another party who had as
sembled to give lawn festival in
E. S. Bright's orchard. This was
not so well attended as the lower
picnic, but we learn they cleared a
neat sum for the building of the
church, and despite the rain it
might have been a pleasant and
quiet affair, but for some drinking
which caused a row with couple
of young men. They were prompt
ly elected, and the remainder of the
crowd soon dispersed. Among the
visitors were, Mr. G. III. Car
go, of Charleston, Mrs. Roberts, of
Cincinnati, Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. Ward,
of Point Pleasant, and many others.

Chapman is a worthy young man

Democrat, and is possessed of the
ability to make an excellent Repre-
sentative, and coming from the
almost extreme upper end of the
county, we have no doubt but that
the convention will look upon his
candidacy with favor. There will
be no question about his election
if he should be one of the nom
inees, for he is popular with all
classes of people, of every shade of
politics.
