That the staid and steady village of

as yet no clue as TO whom the child
belongs can be obtained. The remains

STONE ROADS.
The People af Middleton Township Pro.
test Against being Forced to Build
Them.

ED. JoURNAL:-In our opinion the
people OF Middleton do not wish to be
understood as being opposed to all road
Improvements, but on the contrary we
iavor what we consider to be Il judicious
and practical system of road improve
ment.
We have now very good system
OF outlet drains, that are generally
sufficient, in connection with under
drains, to drain the adjoining lands.
But they are usually not deep enough
to drain the intersecting road bitches,
so that they can be nude of sufficient
capacity and depth to construct u good
road.
Our plan would be something like
This: Deepen and enlarge, if necessary
the main drains sufficient TO drain the
cross road bitches properly. BY so
doing we gain
1st. An improved outlet.
I'd. The improved road.
3rd. The improved cross roads.
From four to slX feet below the sur
face of our land we have very yoo1
road material. This clay can be placed
on our roads by ditching at a reason
able expenses, and if it be well done
and scraped when necessary, it would
be better than stone, eleven months in
the year. II this plan be tested and
fails to make as good road, as is re-
quired, there will be nothing lost.
The improved drainage and the
improved road bed for the reception of
stone will pay all costs.

10 me Hon Commissioners Of lPood County Ohio:
GENTLEMEN
WHEREAs:-Efforts are being made
by misrepresentation and otherwi. @
to induce the people of Middleton
Township to join in the building of
stone roads.
Therefore, we the undersigned, land
owners of Middleton Twp, Wood
County, Ohio, earnestly protest against
any stone roads being built or any tax
being levied for stone road purposes
on any of the lands in said township at
this time for the following reasons:
1st.- We believe in doing the most
necessary thing first, and it is abso-
lutely necessary that our lands be
underdrained.
2nd.-We believe we ought to be
allowed to manage our own local affairs.
In our own manner. The farmers of
Middleton hayc made the township
what 1T now is and believe that they
are fully competent to Judge what is
best for their own interests and the
interest OF the public.
3rd.-When the time comes that we
want stone roads we will ask for them
but do not want them forced on us to
our loss.

We hereby certify that our township
has been fairly canvased with the fol-
lowing result:

owners in Middleton township signed

KANSAS SCOTT.
The Great Annihilator of all Old
Principles
Makes Speech at the Court House
and Fails to Get Up Much
Enthusiasm.

So much had been heard OF Calam.
ity Scott, OF Kansas, that many
Clarksvile people turned out this
morning to hear him. There were
not over two hundred people in the
courthouse when he began his speech
and half of that number were straight
Democrats who had gone out just to
hear what he would say. III there
was any man who had an idea that
Scott was an orator he was badly
fooled when he heard him to-day.
There is nothing about the man that
would pronounce him a drawing
card. He has few of the elements
OF the stump speaker, or campaign
orator. He is q man about thirty
five years of age. He has a heavy
coat of thick black hair, that is not
exactly black, yet that is what one
would denominate its color. He
wears a mustache but no whiskers,
and has a rather forid complexion,
which does not harmonize to any
great extent with his hair and mus
tache. He carries about with him
that nasal twang peculiar to the Kan
san and says "revenoo." He is a
full blooded yankee, and his
general get up leads one. to
believe that he is in his present
position because he can't get
anywhere else, or has been driven to
his present condition by disappoint-
ment in political ways. His speech
contained nothing new. 1t was the
stereotyped Third party speech that
has been spoken all over the State,
and was leveled at both the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties. He is
about as hard on one of the old par
ties as he is on the other. 1t was en-
couraging, however, to note that the
only people who applauded Scott
were little bunch that had secured
chairs Immediately to his right, and
who have been recognized for some
time as the backbone of the Third
party in this county. There were only
about dozen of these, and they
to enjoy making the welkin
ring at the wrong place every time.
Mr.. Scott spOke about one hour and |
a half, confining his remarks, as
stated above, to the legislation of both |
the Democratic and Republican par
ties.

REV. SAM JONES
Consents to Hold O Meeting ir
Clarksville in November.
He Will Come Under the Auspices OF
the Young Mems Christian
Association, November 9.

The Directors of the Y. M. @. A.
held an interesting meeting at the
Association rooms last night. For
some time the secretary has been cor
responding with Rev. Sam P. Jones,
in an effort to have the renowned
evangelist come to Clarksville and
hold meeting under the auspices Of
the Association. Mr.. Jones has at
last consented to come, and will be.
gin meeting here November 6, con-
tinuing ten days.
1t has not yet been decided where
Mr.. Jones will hold the meeting, but
an effort will be made to secure the
Gracey warehouse, on Third street
for the purpose. This would be an
excellent place, and it is more than
likely that it will be secured, as by
that time it will have but very little
tobacco in 1t.
There has been desire among the
people for some time to have Mr..
Jones hold meeting here, and the
announcement of his coming will be
hailed with delight.

and decided that the district was en-
titled to only one set Of books and

only one set open to-day and they
are at the courthouse. The regis

AT the elegant home of Mr.. VIM.
Jesup, near Fairview, delightful
dance was participated in by large
number 6 guests last evening. Sew

day. Mr.. Embry's entire crop of to-

along with many valuable farm inn
plements. The total loss was about
500. u Justas we go to press,
the distressing news reaches us of the
sad death OF Miss Lucy Mcdaniel. after
lingering illness OF several months.
Miss Mcdaniel was one OF the purest,
noblest OF girls, a favorite with all who
knew her. She was a consistent and
conscientious christian, and died in
the happy assurance Of a heavenly
home. A large circle of friends min

THE BUILDING OUTLOOK.
oiarksville Contractors Hard Pushed to
Keep Up With Orders.

The fact that Clarksville builders
are just now hard pushed to keep up
with their orders is very encourag-
ing sign of the times. A LEAF
CHRONICLE reporter had short talk
last night with III. w. Ritter, of the
Sewanee Planning Mills. Although il
was then getting late in the night, he
was rushing along the street with a
bundle of plans in his hand on the
way to keep an appointment with a
customer. He said that at no pre-
vious time since his connec.
ton with the business had his
firm had more contracts on hand
than at present. These en-
brace a number of very handsome
residences for Clarksville people, also
several at points near here. This
doesn't look like hard times. The
fact of the business is, there is every
prospect of revival all along the
line this fall. It is true money Is a
little tight at present, but there have
been immense corps raised, and that
means increased prosperity, Verify
we abide in land of plenty,

UNSOUND TEACHING.
Charges Preferred Against {
Teacher in Lane Seminary.
1t is Said That His Teaching on Biblical
Scholarships and Inspiration is
Not Right.

Special to the Leaf Chronicle.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 23.--The Pres
bytery of Cincinnati has decided to
issue judicial proceedings against
Prof. III. P. Smith, of Lane Semi
nary, for unsound teaching on Bibli-
cal scholarship and inspiration.
The vote stood AZ to 16 in favor of
the action.
Some of the members of the Pres
bytery who took part in the debate
expressed great regret for the neces-
sity of trial. The case will be
opened in the FIRST Presbyterian
church in this city Oct. II. The
committee of prosecution are: Rev.
VIM. McKibbin, D. D., Rev. r, O.
Lowe and Elder ID. II. Shields.
The case will eau ie considerable in
terest throughout the church.
There was strenuous offort made
by DR.. Riggs to save Prof. Smith
from the embarrassment of a trial.
He introduced resolution allowing
Mfr. Smith his former standing on
condition that he would relinguish
his obnoxious ideas and withdraw
his pamphlet from circulation.
This proposition received little fa-
vor, for the stated reason that Mr..
Smith showed no inclination to favor
such measure. The resolution was
voted down.
Those who voted against the ap-
pointment OF a committee to formu-
late charges are not necessarily in
favor of Mr.. Smiths views-they for
the most part supposed that the mat
ter could be settled by some other
means.

OPERA HOUSE Y FRIDAY NIGHT
Senator sherman Renews His Attack


Senator Sherman renewed his at
tack and refused 10 be convinced
even by the oratory of the Iowa Sem
ator. He wanted the Senate to do
the straightforward thing, and not
fizzle about it.
"Give the Fair $4,000, 600, and do
not make believe that you are de.
ceiving yourselves 10 giving II 10
cent silver dollar, or two S5-cent half
dollars.v If the children cry Tor it,
as the Senator has said they did,
"Why not give them Castoria ?" said
Sherman. He knew that 1t was a
popular thing with the little ones,
more popular he thought than even
the souvenir half dollars would be.
The galleries looked down in surprise
as these remarks came from Sherman,
and congressman who entered the
chamber just as Mr.. Sherman uttered
them, dropped into the vacant chairs
nearest the door.

Christian County Tobacco.

The South Kentuckian sizes the
Christian county tobacco crop up as
follows:
Some farmers estimate that one
half of the tobacco crop in the county
is cut, while others place the figures
at less. There has been a wonderful
development m the crop in the past
few weeks and it now looks as if it
will equal that of the last year. There
are very few worm eaten leaves and
that cut was allowed to ripen thor
oughly before being taken from the
hill. A great deal OF the crop was
put out very late and that portion i:
just now beginning to develop and
thicken. Ifan early frost does not
catch the later growth the farmers will
round up with an average crop.
