THE RIVER IMPROVEMENTS
What an Indiana Paper Has to Say
on the Subject of Kentucky
and Her Wealth.

The representatives of Kentucky in
Congress, in the past years have not
been as thoroughly interested in the
matter of internal improvements as
the circumstances of the case would
Justify. Though Kentucky has been
next to the largest revenue pay
ing State in the country, they
have been voting indifferently
upon appropriations for Kentucky
river improvements, which even
West Virginia, by the earnest work
of her representatives, could largely
exceed. The people of other States
look on in amazement at the time
the Kentucky representatives devote
to national affairs as compared to the
small attention paid by them to the
States development State, which
the Madison, Indiana, Courier, of last
week says: us the richest State
naturally in the Union"
That paper in long editorial urg-
ing the speedy completion of the
river improvement in the State, has
this to say of the subject:
"Kentucky has the best camel
coal in the world and miles of 1t.
Her coking coal is really better than
the famous coking coal of the Connels-
Vile region of Pennsylvania. She
has iron ore, fire and potting clays,
lithOgraphing stones, marble and
limestone in abundance. The Ken
lucky and Licking Rivers, with their
tributaries, penetrate the heart OF
Kentucky's buried riches.
"The channel cut out by the Ken
lucky river through the march of
time is now presented to civilized
man as one of the most perfect chan,
nels. Here nature has chisled and
hewn the rough. undressed way to a
field Of immeasurable wealth; and
shall we not point with a prophetic
finger to the time in the near future
when art shallIhave accomplished the
rest; providing the way to facilitate
transportation, by immediate con-
.struction of the necessary number OF
locks and dams, thereby securing re-
ciprocal trade and establishment OF

There is only one way to cure deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
the tube gets infiamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;

Debt Lifted.

In the North Carolina Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church to-day
memorial 10 the General Conference ask
ing that a law be enacted to permit
preachers when without work to attend
college was referred TO the appropriate
committee.
Rev. +. ID. Swindell offered a memorial
to the General Conference relating to the
transfer OF the licensing of preachers
from the Quarterly Conference to the Dis
trict Conference and for a more extended
course Of study.
Dr. r. i. Reid submitted a report on
Payne's Institution. OF Augusta, Ga. for
the education of colored teachers and
preachers. The report recommends an
assessment of $500 for the institute. ap-
portioned as follows: Raleigh District
&c., Durham 500; Fayetteville, S63; Rock
lngham, $780, Wilmington, ST.; Newberne.
s7S Washington. n. c., S62; Warrenton
s6S, and Wilson s6i. The report was
adopted.
one OF the most interesting subjects
before the conference was the debt OF
the Fifth-Street church, Of this city.
When Rev. Or. Nash, the present pastor
took charge two years ago the debt was
over $4,000. OF this $4,000 has been
funded in ten-year bonds, and the bal
ance has been paid, with the exception OF
$1,000, which is expected to be arranged
for this week. This result IS largely due
TO the personal efforts Of DR.. Nash.
