calls upon us for report of Rev. J. II. Barb's

QUEER AILMENT.-An epidemic of sore
mouth prevails here. liberation of the
mouth, swollen gums and loosened teeth are
the features of the disease and one of our
physicians says he has treated at least
thirty cases in this locality 1t is also believed
to be contagious, so be careful, young man;
should the one of chiefest sweetness and al
together lovely fall victim to the disease
YOU had better eliminate the osculatory fea
ture of the regulation goodnight.
RAIN.-The drought has been completely
broken by rainfall that began with series
of thunder showers on Saturday last followed
on Sunday and Monday by light but con
tinuous fall Of rain. The ground has not
received thorough soaking, but sufficient
rain fell to break the effects of the drought
and start the corn and grass. An occasional
rainfall now at intervals OF not more than a
week will insure good corn crop, except
in come few fields where it had been seriously
injured by the drought; these fortunately are
scarce, despite the claim ofrun that has gone
forth. A good season henceforward will
insure good corn crop in the northern sec.
ton OF the county.
A COOP INvEsTMENT.-NO one these days
pretend to permit house, barn or goods TO
run the chances of destruction by fire with
out insurance; everybody carries fire insur-
ance and this is paid for protection aloneand
the money invested is never returned except
in case of fire and this must not necessarily
come. Every one must die and YET few carry
life insurance. in this you not only secure
protection as in the case of fire insurance, but
you make an investment as well, for while
you may pay fire insurance rates forever,you
may get no return, while the life Insurance
rates paid are surely invested awaiting the
coming Of an assured event, death, for pay.

APPEAL TO EDITORS AND JoURNALIsTs.-
The undersigned, deeply interested IN the
education OF the young, and in the mainten-
ance of public morals, and profoundly sensi.
ble of the vast influence exerted by the press,
respectfully and earnestly appeal to the
Editors and Journalists of our State for their
cooperation. In particular, we ask that the
detailed and sensational reports of vice and
crime, and the immoral, or questionable
advertisements, which appear in SO many
Of our newspapers, may be excluded. Cor
daily recognizing the sympathy manifested
by the conductors of the public press, as a
body, with the objects which we have at
heart, we beg that greater care may be exer
cised in respect to this important matter.
[Abont one year ago we called attention
TO the policy Of our large city dsilres, who
aim to keep serial running, that reeounts
with disgusting cxactaess the happenings in
some courttrial for divorce or damages, or of
some murder case IN which is involved a
scandal that furnishes the chief interest.
1t IS catering to dcwOved tastes and "sells
papers" but while doing that it moculates
the more refined with the vile virus of SEN
sationalism. That newspapers, otherwise
respectable, should lend themselves to the
purveyancc of this vicious literature, is sur
prising there are publications openly and
professedly given To The retailing of sensa-
ton, scandal and filth; one knows them by
name and shuns them, but TIE great dailies

indignation that rises up against the mod
ern policy that admits Paul Pry and Police
