FOR CHRISTIANS.

The man who is trying to walk in the
foot steps of Jesus will never walk into a
bar room by mistake. Remember that.
II the Ohio River was bank full of the
soap suds Of salvation with June rise
Of Piety," ahead it would not wash the
feet of the dirty, low down, mean con-
temptable hypocrits and good for nothing
men that the churches of to-day are
cursed with. Do you understand, get
right or get out.
Why not act like sensible men and
not like children in regard to these great
questions. Just watch dog and when
you see him scratching himself he has
either got the mango or something is
eating on him, he don't scratch just for
the fun OF it. Now who is willing to let
a dog get ahead of him. You see we
have two kinds Of dogs, one kind with
four feet and long tail another with
two feet and with the caudel extremity
rather shorter than the other dog. Do
you understand? Either kind can kill
sheep.
We want to see that sentiment cult
waited that will make it as unpopular for
a man to take drink OF whisky as il
does for man to steal a sheep. If
christians will go to work right they can
do this. First, prove by their walk and
conversation that there is reality in
religion of Jesus Christ and then their
influence will be felt to that extent that
this sentiment will prevail.
We are in favor of taxing man that
drinks whisky, beer or any thing con-
tanning alcohol fifty dollars year for
the privilege of SO doing and compel
him to wear badge where it can at all
times be seen with his name inscribed
thereon and number; the same to be re-
corded in the county clerks office in
which he obtains the license. This
would be nothing but honest and fair
and the man who is not willing to be
honest ought to be on the rock pile with
ball and chain to his leg. Now if any
body can make anything else out of this
with all the help the Devil can give them
they are welcome to the job. The road
is open for any one to twist this mules
tail that will undertake the job but we
advise you to say your prayers first.
What would you think of man that
would let any one keep him from going
to church and enjoying his religion? if
you was to see him holding his nose
when he met pole cat, we think it
would be an insult to the pole cat, what
do you think about it? or are you one OF
that kind.

Mr.. w. J. Sherman, who is here on a
visit with his wife, is spending his leis-
ure hours estimating the cost of water
works ior this city. He says first-class
plant with good service, covering the
whole city, can be put in for $4,000.
What the people ought to do is to form a
stock company and put in this plant. Mr..
Sherm IN is practical engineer, has built
severa plants and knows his business.
If the neople want. water works, and they
certainly do, there is no better time than
right row to build them. Labor is cheap,
material is low and everything is favor
able to their cheap construction. This
town is absolutely at the mercy Of the
flames A fire in the business portion OF
the town would ruin all of us. Why not
do something now, before it is everlast-
ingly too late. The same fate will over
take us that overlook Derby not long ago.
We say build them and do it at once.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way TO cure Deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infiamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inAamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when il is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition OF the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Deafness Caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

and here our informant's knowledge OF
the affair ended AS Glasscock was
about thirty years old and the girl only
seventeen, he is severely condemned by
all the neighborhood. -Grayson Ga

Mr.. Cleveland has returned TO Wash
ington. He has had long summer va
cation. Conflicting reports have gone
abroad as TO the state Of the Presidents
health. A great many have commended
that he has been quite sick man, while
some have denied the statement. Be
that as it may, however, he is now at his
post OF duty and the wheels Of the adj
ministration will begin to move with in
creased celebrity. Nothing has been done
at Washington for six weeks in the way
OF removals, the financial question having
absorbed the principal part of public at
tention The Democrats, however, are
largely interested in the Offices, and re-
movals have not been half 80 rapid as
they should have been. At number OF
places in the South some Of the best Of
fees are still held by Republicans and il
President Cleveland don't proceed at once
TO fill their places with Democrats he will
be criticised severely. During Mr..
Cleveland's former administration one OF
the main objections to his course in Of
flee was that he did not recognize the
claims OF Democrats. Truly this is a ser
ious matter among those interested. II
Mr.. Cleveland can find men in his own
party, and he doubtless can, who are
for the offices at his disposal, he
shouldn't hesitate TO unseat Republicans
and begin the work early.

THE Senatorial primary just closed in
this District has been the hardest fought
and one OF the most heated contests in
the State. The prominence of General
Gross, and his relation TO State affairs,
had something to do with it, and the po-
sition he took in the canvass served to
excite an interest in its results far beyond
the borders of his own district. He did
not know when he entered the race the
effect his annunciations as to choosing a
United States Senator would have among
the people. He felt, however, as he al
ways talked about it, that something was
due the people in Western Kentucky.
This was not actuated by any selfish mo-
tive, but it is rather in keeping with Mr..
Gross feelings and sentiments in public
matters. He has always been home
man, and done much for his home peo-
pie. In this instance he appeared to re-
cognize an opportunity where he could
possibly serve them still more and his
services were rendered. The verdict last
Saturday was that the people accept him
and will rely upon him TO fulfill, as best
he can, every pledge he has made to
them.

The explanation given will be found
satisfactory to reasonable people. A
critical examination is required Of all
applicants for the position Of teachers
That is made imperative by law. To
avoid, Partially, the examiners do not
know the personality of the applicants
as their test papers are designated by
numbers and not by their names.
Professor Millspaugh has, filed away,
the papers rejected as well as those
accepted. and is willing to have them
compared TO see if perfect justice has
not been done to the competitors.
This disposes also of the idea which
our correspondent entertains in com
mon with many of our citizens that
"a big, big p" is one of the prominent
qualifications for the position of teacher
in this city. That Up" we suppose

mistake 1t will be found on investi-
cation that religious proclivities have

We do not make thes explanations
to defend the school board so much
as to dispeI erroneous impressions
among the people. For dissatisfaction
makes unrest, and in these particulars
it has been without sufficient cause.

principles, the Board of Education has
done splendid work in the main and

THE GRAVITY SEWER AFFAIR.

We hope the Mayor win read care
fully the statement made by the con-
tractors in.relation to the work on the
gravity sewer, and that if he sees they
are right he will modify his views and
do them justice. The Mayor has re-
ceived the approval Of the citizens be-
cause of his sturdy defense of their
rights and his strict construction and
maintenance of the law But they do
not want to see wrong done to any one
nor viii the city be benefited by such
a proceeding.
1t is possible that the Mayor in his
zeal on behalf of the city has over
looked some Of the facts set forth by
the contractors, and if so that he will
correct the error. AT any rate. he will
no doubt give their side of the subject
a careful and impartial hearing.
The contractors, there is no denying,
entered upon their task with the full
expectation that the bonds issued would
be used for this special work. There is
a certain amount CT obligation on the
part of the city on that account. The
payment Of so much in warrants in
stead Of cash has also been a serious
loss to the contractors, and that should
figure materially in the case.
1t is but right that both sides of the
matter should be placed before the
public, and we cheerfully give place to
the temperate, concise and apparently
accurate statement made by the gray
ifr csra1.-nl con fracf nrs
