WHEN youngsters come to this town
from Hawesville or any other town and
violate an ordinance they may expect to
suffer the consequences. We have a
Marshal whose business it is to see that
the city ordinances are enforced. That's
his duty and it is what the city employees
him for. Our sidewalks belong TO the
footmen not to the wheelmen. 1t is I'M
fortunate that the two young men did
not know this. 1t would have saved
them a deal of trouble and some hard
cash. If they had been trained at home
in the way they should 20, they would
have known how to have conducted
themselves when they went to Rome or
Stephensport When you send your
boys out again, good neighbor, tell them
to keep in the middle of the road.

In the Race for Treasurer

We hear the name of Mr.. w. II. Gard
ner, of Hardin county, spoken quite
frequently by Todd county people in
connection with the race for State Treas
urer, and if there is anything in signs,
Mr.. Gardner already has big following
in Todd. He has served one term as
State Examiner and his practical way of
doing business has made him friends
with both press and public throughout
the state. He is eminently qualified in
every way for the Office he seeks, and
the man who gets the support of Todd
county in the nominating convention
over him has got to get move on him
self that will break all former records

Tom Seaton.

Last Friday poor old Tom Seaton was
carried from Jollys Station TO Hardins-
burg and confined in the poor house
Tom is getting to be quite an old man
now, and his wanderings are about over,
This is the second time he has been tax
en- up and carried to the poor house and
il he is not properly cared for he may
be found dead some time on the public
highway. Tom is not a pauper in the
legitimate sense OF the term, but he is a
helpless old man who needs attention.
His estate Is sufficient 10 maintain him
II properly handled. He has good
farm, house and lot at Jolly's Station,
and perhaps little money. The County
Judge therefore will not suffer him 10
become charge upon the county.
What he needs is some one 10 give him
ahome and look after his estate. Tom has
always been an odd character, and is
known by most everybody. His immed-
late connections are some OF the best
people In the county.

In loving remembrance Of Harold
Sherley Graham, died August 20, 1893,
aged p months.
Just one year since we laid him to rect.
And folded his hands on his dear little breast.
In silence he suffered, In patience he bore,
Until God called him home 10 suffer no more,
Our dear one has left us for a bright home
above,
But wen never forget him, e'er cease to love.
oh, God, how mysterious and how strange are
thy ways;
To take from Us our baby In the brightest Of
his days.
We miss his toddling footsteps, We see mis-

our home Is now 50 lonely, since Harold l. not

Yesterday in nominating Hon. ]. II.
Iluliug for Congress. Mr.. Huling is

lican, Is popular through tho district,

shows that the Republicans Of the Third
district arc in earnest, and that it was
their desire to exercise due care in tho
selection OF a standard bearer.
Mr.. Huling is one OF tho best cam.
paigucrs In the state, and Mr.. Anderson
