A newspaper paragraph ON how
to tell woman's character by her
hair is going the rounds. 1t will
be of little service to men, however,
until it is accompanied by sure
receipt for telling when a woman is
wearing her own hair.

To HAVE CLEAN STREErs.-It is
a very simple problem, whether you
live in a village or in a city of ?, 000,-
600 inhabitants. Look at the logic.
First, streets are made filthy by
what falls or is thrown into them,
whether the same be old shoes, cans,
sweepings or papers. Do not throw
anything into tho streets and they
will never become filthy See?
The soiling of streets from tho
necessary wear and tear of trade
and hauling is comparatively small.
The city authorities could take
care of that without great trouble
or expense. But it is the things
that are thrown into the street by
private citizens that are the burden
of grievance-rags, sweepings, or
ange and banana peeIs and papers.
But most of all, papers. Whoever
observes the eddying air currents
on windy day and gets his eyes
full of dust for his pains will see
that halfthe unclcanness ofthe pub
lie highway is caused by flying and
dirty papers, brown grocery papers,
pink drug store papers, old news
papers. envelopes, etc. If every
body will at once and forever stop
throwing paper, even scrap of it,
into the streets, they will ut least
be two thirds cleaner than they are
now. Follow the same line with
every other kind of unsightly trash
and see how decent your highways
will be.

RIVER NEws.-The State Gazette

landings, also passing the Iron
Queen under way, twice. The Bos-
tona is and has been the brag boat
of the Big Sandy Company, for ma
ny years, on the upper Ohio. She
was built to be fast, and if she did
pass the Iron Queen, we know she
had to run for it, for we have been
an eye witness 10 their running
qualities. Look out for the Queen
later on. She is good one, and

Gallipolis has raised its quaran-

Health of Gallipolis did not treat
our town fairly in this quarantine
business, and from their official acts,
more than any other cause, boats
were led to believe that we had
smallpox and were not permitted
to land at our wharf. Point Pleas

rid of its only case of the loathsome
disease, we congratulate her and

them reek with rottenness. Let all

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE has made
contract for an immense number of Watches,
and proposes to sell them for a short time
to subscribers only at prices that will seem
incredible to those people who have knowl-
edge of Watches. The most wonderful part
of this offer is that although we can get
hundreds of different makes, we contine this
proposition TO those made at Waltham and
Elgin, which, as our readers well know, are
absolutely without rivals. 9 They are I'M
guestionably the best Watches in the world.
While we hope and expect to be able to con-
tinue this offer indefinitely, yet it is possible
that since our profits are so small we may
feel obliged to discontinue it without notice,
and we therefore advise our subscribers to
order at once. Remember that we guarantee
each and every Watch to be the latest and
best prodpct of the Waltham OF Elgin fac
tories, whichever you may select. Our pre-
vious offers still hold good, but it IS foI
your advantage to order from this offer such
Watches as it contains We want it dis
tnctly understood that as this offer is pri-
marily for the benefit of veterans we want
them to make as much as possible by selling
to their friends, and as soon as it appears
that they have been supplied we expect to
withdraw the offer without notice.
