The Public Building.

1t seems that the site for the public building
has not been finally determined, as we sup
posed 1t had been last week. The choice is re-
duced to that of the Craig lot on the corner OF
Lewis and Frederick Streets and that of the
Hardy lot on the corner OF Main and Market
streets. The Hardy lot has the advantage OF
being on Main street near the business portion
of the city, and on the line of the greatest de-
yelopment, and of being within the limit as
we are informed, OF both Railroad depots. in
which the railroad companies are required
to deliver the malls free of cost to the govern
ment, thus saving a considerable annual ex-
pense to the government, whereas the other
lot is Without that limit from both depots, and
to which the government would have TO pay
for the delivery ofthe mails. This we conceive
to be strong, If not conclusive reason why
the Hardy lot should be preferred. 1t would
be SO considered by an individual, and the
government should be as wise and eco aomical
as an individual 1t should sedulously guard
the interests OF the people who support it and
DAY all its expenses.

REV. JOHN H. HECTOR AT THE TEN
PERANCE TABERNACLE.

In consequence Of an accident on the rail-
road, Rev. John n. Hector and his quartette c.
musicians did not get here in time to fill his
appointment for Friday night. They arrived
here on Saturday morning. and that dis.
tinguished colored orator spoke in the Taber.
nacle on Saturday night to an audience of
near three thousand. The services were opened
with an excellent prayer by Rev. D. A. Draper.
The Rev. j. b. Hector announced that they
would sing the song entitled-"Turn back
whisk ey'H army"-for that is what we are here
for. Mr.. Reeves Gait then introduced Hector,
who took the stand and said that he was glad
to be here. He proposed to delay his speech
for short while as the people were still ar
rivlng, and said they would have Miss Louise
Hamer OF Washington city to sing one of the
sweetest of songs-"Your mother Is praying
for you''-which she played upon the organ
and sang In a most delightful manner This
was followed by an animated Methodist song
by Hector's choir.
Hector then entered upon his speech which
he prefaced by saying that. on his arrival
here, he was shocked to learn that his race
here had been told by the advocates of liquor

believe it) that this local-option election had
been gotten up to help along the Democratic

he would leave here at once. He had three
pieces of Democratic lead in his body, received
at the battle Of Shiloh, and 1t was not likely
he would labor to advance the interests of that
party. He would inform himself thoroughly
and would have something to say on that
question on Monday. He was here to help to
stay the ravages of legalized wrong. and to
tell the simple truth. He wished the audi
ence to consider this as big class-meeting
with him as the leader. He was ready to
answer any questions, and the VETS were
welcome to ask any they pleased. and he
would answer them.
He said he would present the question from
standpoint of law. The liquor traffic was In
violation of law. for law is based on right.
right on love, and love on God. 1t Is the OBJ
ject of government to protect the weak. and
law should gravitate in the direction OF and
for the protection of the weak.
TAT this point he asked those in the far end
of the audience If they could hear him in the
tones he was then speaking. Some replied
YES" when Hector said. THAT is ali right for
want the VETS to hear mel
The liquor traffic is not based on good law,
for 1t does not protect the rights and interests
OF the weak-the women and children- bat OPP

A Much Needed Reform Accomplished

Drumheller says. meals are served at all hours

machine and only twenty minutes lost for
that purpose The hands sleep on the prem

FAST at 4 O'Clock A. Ii. and the machine starts
at o'clock. The hands are all furnished, paid,
fed. and housed. and ell the farmer has to do is
to measure up his wheat and haul 1t away and
the charge Is S6 per hundred bushels, cash,
when the machine moves away. 1t is rarely
the case that any new idea meets with general
approval, but in this Instance ,iMr. DrumhelIer
Is delighted with the new system. and while 1t
relieves the farmer of one of the burdens of
life, 1t will compensate the thresherman better
than the old way. The hands are we'll satisfied
with the arrangement, and do their work
cheerfully and well. The farmers only troub-
lie is, the machine don't stop long enough for
him to go to the house for his dinner, and his
wife has gone to the Springs-until the busy
work is over. as she now has plenty of time,
not having any hands to cook for. All the
crops threshed thus far by. this new system
are turning out splendidly, and everything is
working SO nicely and smoothly, that some are
tempted to think the Millennium has come
SO far as farming is concerned. Credit is also
due DIR. d. W. Hanger. President FIshersvilla
Club. for first suggesting this new system; at
least he SO claims. but that is not unusual, as
he generally claims everything In sight. But
as he has SO gracefully succumbed to the supe-
rior farming skill of his near neighbor, We
think he should have all the credit he claims
The speed OF this machine under the present
system is FROM 800 to 900 bushels per day-full
running time-aud the work done is entirely
satisfactory. Score one for the Fishersville
Club. Respectfully,
