EFFORTS have been made for years
past to have the trustees of tbs Metro
politan Museum of Art, New York City.
open that institution to the public on
Sunday. The trustees were aware of
several serious objections to the Sunday
opening. Many Of the articles in the
museum were presented to it by people
who are strongly and conscientiously
opposed to it, and their wishes should
be respected. Some considered it a
perilous experiment tending to encour-
age Sunday theatres, operas and music
halls. Many Of the benefactors of the
museum would withhold their periodi-
cal requests, and, while the expense
would be greater, the resources would
be reduced. These objections to Sunday
opening could not, for many years be
overcome, but the petitions to the trus-
tees from the people for the opening of
the museum on the only day the work
ing people can visit it became so nu-
merous and urgent, and responsible
parties guaranteeing the necessary
funds, they have at last ordered the
museum kept open seven days in the
week. Upon the good or bad use the
public makes OF this privilege will de-
pend the pernenancy of the order.

A Wicked Act.

BRADYvILLE, Tenn, June S.-Great
excitement prevails here over the
frightening to death of the wife of
Thomas Luper last night by a lot of
young men. Three young men went to
the house of Mr.. Luper during his alb
sence, about 10 o'clock at night. and
jumped into bed with his II and 16-
year-old daughters. The girls at once
jumped up and ran to their mother.
who was nursing young babe. The
boys were induced to leave, but they at
once began to throw stones at the house.
Mrs. Luper was frightened to death by
their conduct. The sheriff tried to ar
rest the boys, but they made their es-
cape. If they are caught there will
probably be lynching.

THE New York Harald's map of the
national cemetary shows that between
New England and Colorado, only one
state, Ohio, has not at least one GENE

war. Missouri has three and Kansas

one, and they mark the northern limit.

The Place for the Flag.

A notable decoration day utterance
was that of President Harrison at Phil
adelphia when he pointed to the half
masted flags and said they ought rather
to be placed at the peak, because those
whose dying we commemorate reioiced
in seeing it where their valor placed it.
The suggestion is not original with the
president, but it gathers new weight
when uttered by the chief magistrate Of
the nation, who was himself a brave
soldier. The flags in Boston were gen
orally half-masted, too. On future
memorial days let them be run UP to
the peak IN token of thankful spd tri

An East End Mystery.

A citizen living at the extreme East End OF
Westminster purchased horse last week,
and rented a stable in which to shelter it. To
an East End grocery dealer he related these
facts and he was amazed when the grocery
dealer informed him that the stable was in
tested with witches After the owner left, the
groceryman repeated the conversation to an
other gentleman who deals mostly in sand,
and engaged him to go the to stable that night
and tie in knots the horses name. Next
morning the owner of the animal went to the
stable TO give him his morning food and wa
ter and grooming, and to his amazement he
discovered that the witches had disordered
and kpotted the lovely locks of the pride of
his heart. After arranging them again,
and attending to the animal, he sought the
oroceryman and told him of the work OF
the witches. and declared he would move the
horse to another stable. The groceryman,
observing the nervous condition of his friend,
told him of she Joke, and then told him he
would get the sand. dealer TO go again that
night to repeat the knotting, and that he
should load his gun with powder only, go to
the stable, await his coming, and to lire when
he began on the horses name. The instrnc-
lions were strictly carried out. In due time
the sand dealer stole stealthy into the stable.
Approaching the horse he commenced the
witch act again, when bang went the gun
Out the sand. dealer went, crying muder! muir
der -! and striking a pace that would have
made Dexter turn geen with envy to have be
held. The man with the horse thus got ever
with the sand dealer, and the groceryman en-
loved the Joke on both, as have all the resi-
dents of the East End. The witches have de
married.

PUBLIC SALES.
How to Get Numerous Bidders and the Best
Prices.

The prospect is that personal property sales
in February and March will be numerous.
How To get the largest attendance and the
best prices is a matter for consideration by
all who propose to make sale.
Past experience has shown that the man
with the best material does not always get the
best prices, simply because he neglects the
best way to get the most bidders. The sale
with plenty of bidders is always the best.
The farmer asks, how can we get bidders
The answer is easy Tell the people about
your sale, its date and all you will offer. Let
everybody in the county know Of it. let
them hear about it once a week for one, two
or three weeks. And how can he do this?
Well if you want it known that your daughter
is married or your mother-in law is dead, or a
fair or festival is to be held, or a church to be
dedicated, how do you proceed to inform
everybody? You put it in the ADVOCATE
How do you let people know you have the
biggest potatoes, or the best grain, or the
longest corn stalks, or the biggest hogs? You
put the fact in the ADVOCATE. How do you
find out that your friend is ill, or has gone
visiting, or is building a new house, or has
met with an accident or found good fortune?
You learn it through this paper.
Well, then, il you want an army OF good
bidders at your sale just put your invitation
in the ADVOCATE. OF course we will charge
you something for our work. The circna
ton of the ADVOCATE is far greater than amy
other paper in the county. 1t goes every
where People of all parties and beliefs take
it. 1t reaches the best buyers i'll the county,
and it has subscribers in the adjoining coun-
ties. An advertisement of n sale in its
columns will reach ten times as many people
as read a hand bill, though the latter are val
liable, and the best that can be gotten in this
section are to be obtained at the Advocate
office

buildings of any town in the county. We

as many Democrats rs we have for the popu

ought to give them as they appear in the Ap

shall move their frame parsonage from theil
corner lot adjoining their old ground. W.

ing, and it would not cost great deal to move
it to an adjoining lot.
