A. Smith McCann, the former own
er of the greatest living stallion of the

"Woodsprite is one Of the highest
bred young stations that ever left
Kentucky for Missouri, and on blood
lines alone he ought to be Il cheap
horse at the price named. While /
am, of course, prejudiced in favor of
Red Wilkes, | think Nutwood's son,

Sherman, speaking to-day of Tuesday s

respects il is but an Endorsement or re-
echo of the fight of 1875 upon the

commonwealth only shows that the
people of this state are true to the best
elements of all life. Greenbacks and

history the state of Ohio has spoken

WANT MAIL DELIVERED.

The Gazette has received copy of
the Savannah, Ga, News, one of the
leading papers of the south, in which
is an editorial under the caption,
"Farmers Want Their Mail Deliver
ed that will attract unusual atten-
ton. The editorial in question sets
forth that the farmers think they are
not fairly dealt with in the matter of
the mails. They pay the same postage
on a letter or paper that city folks do,
and yet the latter have their mail de
livcred at their doors, while the farm
ers have TO 20 after their letters and
papers-often going many miles. \
great many farmers in almost every
county live so far away from the post
office that they don't get their mail

quently not so often.
What they want is that their mail
shall be delivered to them Just as it is
delivered in the cities, and also that
mail boxes shall be put up in locali-
ties i'll every county, in which they can
put letters and papers and avoid the
necessity for going to the poStoIlice.
The News says there does not seem to
be any good reason why their want
should not be supplied, us the post
master general fayors Il free delivery
of mail to the farmers. He says that
it will stimulate letter writing and the
sending of newspapers and periodicals
to such an extent that the increased
revenue will meet the expense ol II free
delivery system for country folks as
well as for city folks.
One of the reasons many farmers do
not take daily paper is that they do
not have time to go after 1t. Most OF
them would gladly take one or more
daily papers ii their mail was deliver
ed. And why should not the people
in the country be treated by the gov
crnment as generously us those living
in the towns? asks the News. They
are entitled 10 rs much consideration
They bear their fair share of the bur
dens of the government, and, being
producers, they are, after all, the back.
bone of the country.
The farmer life is II rather lonely
one and daily mail would relieve il
somewhat OF its isolation. A news
paper every day would keep the farm
ers informed of the markets and il
touch with the great busy world o
which they see comparatively little
1t looks us if the mail delivery scheme
would receive more attention from con
gress than the sub-trcasury scheme

The British wheat consumer wanting

fairly equal, since France and its next
neighbors, Holland, Belgium and
Switzerland, ARE also buyers of Is, 9,000,-
600 quarters. This duality of competi-
tive purchase must remain feature of
the campaign. On the other hand,
where i'll most years there has been Il
dual or treble competition for custom

tries, there is in 1891, but one great

To maids, the red meant love and life;

So each one found Il living truth.

Amidst the glowing shower.

A sermon, strong and grand,
Which to Il multitude he gave,
Inspiring heart aud hand.
To saddencd ones, the ruStlinG breath
Said: Life is change; there is no death

Found comfort in the thought
That he who gives is ever rich;
And SO his heart failed not.
And now, through all his waiting days
tie lifts to Heaven n song ofpraisc.
