1t is said Secretary Gresham has de-
cided not to send the original copies of
the Declaration or Independence and
abe United States Constitution to the

The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1893-04-04

Complaints are being made about
the filth that is allowed to run from
the dis stillery into Hinkston creek.
The people in that section have stood
the stencil and run the risk of an .epi-
demic of some one of the many filth
breeding diseases every summer
till their patience is well nigh exhaust
ed. They have appealed in vain, to
the authorities for relief. Indictments
gainst the offending parties has
amounted to nothing. The parties
in charge of the distillery have utterly
disregarded the rights of others. The
people, good people too, of that
neighborhood have become so exas-
perated at what they think the utter
disregard of their rights that it may
be the distillery people would con-
suit their own best interests by more
careful disposal OF their STOP. Ii
seems strange that the Court cannot
give some adequate relief. The at
tention of the Grand Jury that will
soon be in session is called to this
matter. If the distilling company is
wilfully befouling the water of the
creek, and thereby spreading the seeds
OF disease, they should be indicted.
The Grand Jury should look into the
matter so closely that the proper
parties will be made to suffer for the
Dffense. Surely there is enough law
in this county to give these people the
protection they are entitled to.

In the Pastors conference yesterday a
difference Of opinion was developed on
the question Of Reformation. The Rev.
Mr.. Smith is % the opinion that real
purity springs from heart purity; that a
perfect moral foundation can be laid
only in the weIlspring OF the passions
He would not frammel children 10y ar
bitrary rules and regulations. but give
them the widest liberty consistent with
circumspcct conduct Several 81 his
brethren agreed with him in his
premises and conclusions.
The Rev. DIR. Fair went step beyond
this and affirmed his belief in the heroic
moral teaching 81 the young. lie would
. not only teach the precepts 81 religion,
but he would - far as he is able 10 do
- remove the visibility az evil. He
would banish the saloon. tho gaming
table. the vile resorts If dissolute women;
be would check profanity. restrain dis
honesty and harness vice in every form.
He would purify and ennoble tho minds
~ children and also remove from giving
ofYenre to eye and ear the coaFser forms
% vice.
There IL really little difference In the
respective positions q DR. Smith aud
Or Fair. The former would lean entire.
~ on the strength 81 precept AMI prayer.
while tho latter leaning equally az
heavily 90 them would add the force Of
example. by removing the vicious and
SINFUL. THE HkRsLD heartily approves
both extremes and the happy mean.
Anything % make men and women bot.
ter i wise and sanitary.
