Goodbye. Brother Johnnie.

For four years past, lacking few
days, Mr.. John G. Wood has been
postmaster of Mt. Sterling. On Thurs
day evening he turned over his office
to his successor, Mr.. Geo. G. Everette.
Mr.. Woods conduct of the Office has
been exceptionally clean and efficient.
We do not believe that any town in
Kentucky, or for that matter in the
United States, has enjoyed a more
efficient or more accommodating serv-
ice than has Mt. Sterling during Mr..
Woods term of Office. He certainly
has every reason to point with pride
to the service he has rendered our
people during the past four years.
We have fought Mr.. Wood as q par
tisan, fought him bitterly, have been
loud in our calls for his removal, but
only because he is Republican, not
because of any lack of courtesy or eff
cheney in the discharge of the duties of
the office he held. IT gives us great
pleasure in bidding him Gas postmas-
teri a goodbye, thus to testify to his
uniform courtesy and efficiency.
Should we be called upon to say the
best thing of his successor that is pos
sible, it would be: he will give. US as
efficient service as Mr.. Wood has done.

begun in few days and will be COM

keeping the blood pure and free from

NO PRIZE RING PRIVILEGES.

Governor Renfrow has taken posi-
tive position in the Mitchell -Corbett
matter Neither that nor any other
prize fight will occur within the
boundaries of oklahoma so long as he
has the power TO prevent His posi-
ton is founded in good sense, upheld
by morality and every social ob'iga-
tion. besides being a direct fulltilment
OF the oath of the chief executive Of
the territory.
Whatever the advantages alleged in
business way, which we deny, such
an exhibition is brutal and demoraliz'
ing and cannot result for the pei ma
nent good of the territory. That sort
of advertisement does not pay IN the
long run. The premiums on agricnl-
tural products captured by Oklahoma
at the worlds fair will go farther to-
ward inviting capitalists and desirable
homeseekers within her borders than
to have entertained all the pugilistic
contests ever waged.
The governor is right lie shouiu
not for moment eountenance any
such movement. True, he begau
sparring before time was called, anu
IL must be admitted has struck under
the belt, but he has delivered knock
out blow and. he deserves the thanks
Of every lover of good government.
The spectacle of professional bruis-
ers mashing each others faces is not
inclined to make better citizens. To
afford temporary domicile for the
class that congregate at the ringside
would result in no permanent advan'
tage. We want sturdy, steady-going,
temperate, God fearing citizens, but
plug uglies and prize fighters never.

AN IMPOSSIBLE FEAT.

THE Charleston News and Courier
says that J. V. McLesh, a telegraph
operator at Augusta, Ga. claims that
recently he sent n message OF 955O
words to Savannah in thirty minutes.
This is speed Of eighty-five words
a minute. which is over one-half more
than the greatest speed on record
heretofore. Fifty-fve words has been
claimed. but fifty-two is the tourna-
ment record held by Operator Pollock,
of New York. II takes the most eN-
pert penman to write thirty words a
minute, and it is no inexperienced
typewriter who can write eighty words
minute, where only single motion
is required for each letter. Consider
ing that in telegraphy several motions
of the key are required for most let.
ters, the claim that Nh. McLesh makes
seems scarcely credible. Before tn,
telegraphing fraternity will conced,
his claim, somebody must hold d
