Consider Well.

Elsewhere in THE COMET this morn
ing will be found the joint proposition
of the Louisville, Cumberland Gap &
Atlantic, and the Unaka & Noa-
chucky Railroad Companies to the
county court, upon which proposition
that court submitted to the voters OF
Washington county the question OF
voting bonds in the aid of said roads
The people OF the county have been
informed from time to time, through
THE COMET as to the great benefits to be
derived from the building of he roads
and the many good reasons for voting
abe bonds. Now we give our readers
the proposition of the roads, and they
can see just what is proposed.
There is one other fact viii Oh we de-
sire to emphasize, and to which we call
the especial consideration of voters. 1t
is the fact that it is more to the interest
of the county to vote the subscription
and have the road come through the
county, than it is to the road to come
We say this because better route for
the road can be had outside of the
county, better grades, and easier and
less costly route. 1t is the people
seeking to induce the road to come
through the county, and we should
make serious mistake if we fail to
vote the subscription and secure the
road. Don't take it for granted that
the road will come anyhow, for it will
not. 1t will be built, but by another
route. Consider well these facts.

AN APOLOGY.

Last night we were so unfortunate
as to have one OF our forms-the fourth
page pied-and that fact accounts for
the absence Of much of our local
and advertisements this morning. I'm
der the circumstances we trust our
friends and patrons will be easy on
us, and accept this excuse.

The South is progressive. Evidence
to the effect is to be found in each

cistion having been lately organized
for the purpose of supplying the grow
ing demands for houses. The plan is
simple one and could be adopted by
many small towns alive to the needs Of
an increasing population. AS we un-
derstand this project the capital stock
is 800 600, with shares at S. each,
per value, and worcestershire. One
half may be paid with the order and
the remainder at thirty days, at the
option of the purchaser. The object
of the organization is to purchase lots
in the town and erect thereon suitable
dwellings for renting. The rents COL
lected will go into the treasury, and
all amounts in excess of the operating
expenses and reserved fund for the
purchase of desirable property will be
returned to the shareholders simi-an-
nually in the shape of dividends. This
is most excellent idea for the up
building OF any town, and possesses the
commendable features of being safe
and progressive, as we'll as likely to
prove exceptionally profitable for the
investment of small sums which
otherwise might remain idle.

An Axe to Grind.


The following article affords sub
ject upon which each citizen OF COM
munity should catechise himself and
learn whether or not they are remiss
in their public duties.
"In every community there are men
who cannot be prevailed upon to take
their share OF the public burdens and
responsibilities upon themselves. They
can nearly always be convinced that
certain work ought to be done, and
that eve" ought to do it, but they are
contented to look on and let others do
the work. If everybody belonged to
this class nothing would be don
There would be no cities, towns or
villages even. There would be no
railroads, or school houses, or churches.
But fortunately, in most communities
there are few men who are willing
to work, and push, and struggle, who
give time, and money, and labor, and
get on foot public enterprises, and
turn hall dead country villages into
thriving and prosperous towns and
cities. These men are always at the
head of every scheme that is for the
country's good and while they work
there is always good number of those
who do not work, who stand around and
shrug expressive shoulders, and make
an unpleasant remark. "Oh, ofcourse
Smith is at the head Of It'll" they cry
sneeringly. "He won't do anything
unless he can lead He's always boss
of everything that comes along"
And so Smith is vilified for doing a
work that somebody must do. and that
nobody else will do. Another favor.
lite explanation which is always ready
for an enterpriSing citizen is, "he hat
an axe to grind Let his laborers be
as disinterested as they may, this in
situation is always ready for him. He
may be working to secure railroad
or factory which will benefit every
man in the community quite as much
as himself, but he will be suspected o.
making grind.stone of the enter
prise and Of making the people turr
the stone while he grinds his own in
dividual axe. This is not only unjus
but it is the veriest bosh. Somebody
must work, and it is Godsend to any
community when it his men who will
work. 1t would be far more sensibl,
in the people to encourage the mer
who will work, whether they work il
the lead or not. If the gaining o
public enterprises is the cause OF get
ting some mans axe ground, why turn
the grind-stone. Pay less attention tt
the motives Of the workers, and b.
thankful you are getting the worl
done.-Statesman, Austin, Tex.

Wales and Baccarat.

Have you ever figured out the proba-

Successful Mems Wives.

Did you ever see the wife OF sue
cessful man, am tempted to ask. when
some one points to me the shining
lights of these two friends Of mine.
Not that the men are brutal, ill-tem-
cred or exceptionally irritable; rather
the reverse is true of them, they are
amiable enough Yet their unconquer-
able self absorbrlon has made them any
thing but boon companions. The bub-
BILE they follow is ever dancing bafOre
their esesl The fury Of pursuit is all
in all, and life apart from that has lost
it's charm. Their wives share in the
triumph, of course, and why should
they complain? They do not. Like
the Dutchman's wife upon the death
bed, they are resigned because they
have to be. It is only between the
lines of their patient faces that one may
read the wish of the heart Of hearts for
the old days to come back when things
vera otherwise.

What A Woman Gan Do.

So great Is the influence of sweet
minded woman on those around her
that it is almost boundless. Its to her
that friends come in seasons Of sorrow
and sickness for help and comfort. One
soothing touch of her kindly hand works
wonders in the feverish child; a few
words let fall from her lips in the ear
of a sorrow-stricken sister do much to
raise the load of grief that is bowling
it's victim down to the dust in anguish.
The husband comes home worn out
with pressure Of business and feeling
irritable with the world in general, but
when he enters the coy sitting room
and sees the blaze of fire and meets his
wite's smiling face he succumbs in a
moment to the soothing influences,
which act as the balm of Gilead to his
wounded spirits that are wearied with
the stern realities of life. The rough
schoolboy flies into rage from the
taunts Of his companions to find solace
iSSeh his mothers smile; the little one, full
Of grief with her large trouble, finds a
haven Of rest on it's mothers breast:
and one might 20 on with instance after
instance of the Influence that a sweet
minded woman has ia the social life
with which she is connected. Beauty
is an insignificant power when COM
pared with hers.

What the Carr finals Get.

Each cardinal receives, il monthly
payments out Of the Papal treasury, the
sum Of q, $50 francs $500 annually.
This Is tbeir nominally Fixed stipend,
and lis called the 8 Plato CARDINAL zio. =
PROBABLY because the sum due was
formerly presented on 8 silver plate
(platto). At Christmas time each card
|inal received q surplus Of 500 francs,
known as indemnity for postal expenses
When the Italians entered Rome the
College of Cardinals was deprived of
this addition to their finances.
Besides the nominal sum. there are q
few accessory revenues. The Sacred
College possesses some property, the to-
tai value of which IS 40 600 francs. The
Sovereign Pontlf deducts $1,000 from
this revenue in favor Of Roman schools
and the administration retains 10000
francs for the expenses Of management,
etc. Hence. the Is, 600 francs which re /.
mains are divided among the cardinals,
generally residing in Rome, and who
number about thirty.
