the child. So. Mr.. Deakin and his two
boys ate cold lunch with Mr.. Burnett
and his boy
Mr.. Burnett sent Morton out to get two
cigars, and while the women sat by the
bed in the front room the men sat in the
back room and smoked while the three
boys, awed by the revolution, kept very
quiet.
'If Morton ever bothers you, Mr.. Deakin,
said Mr.. Burnett, ''you just let me know,
and I'll tend to him"
II was just going to say to you that
Larry's apt to be too gay now and then,
and if | ever hear OF him picking on your
children I'll make him remember it.
In the front room Mrs. Burnett was
thanking Mrs. Deakin, who was hoping
that her children had never bothered Mrs.
Burnett very much. The little girl went
to sleep, and the Deakn family went
home
That was the end of the feud. In each
household there was a general order that
in case of neighborhood riot punishment
should be visited upon those nearest at
hand
Those two houses, side by side, became
the peace centre of the west division.
The Deakin children were at liberty to
go over and thump on the Burnett cottage
organ.
But who endeded the feud-the men,
the women or the year-od?
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1895-06-01

Boys are a good deal alike responded
her husband "I'll bet when he gets out
he's the same as the rest of them
Morton grnned and said nothing.
The only member of the Burnett family
who had not joined in the arragnment of
the neighbors was Alice Is years of aye.
She knew all about the feud and shared in
the suspicious OF her mother, but at present
she was too busy with her supper.
The Deakins lived next door, and al
though there was "A dividing fence it had
not kept the two families apart.
In the year during which the two house
holds had dwelt side by side there had
been a growing enmity. Yet Mrs. Burnett
had never spoken word to Mrs. Deakin,
and her husband knew nothing of Mr..
Deakin, except that he worked with his
hands for living and spent a great many
evenings at home.
1t would have been rather difficult for
either tie Burnetts or the Deakins to eX-
plain how the feud started, but it was
operated from the first through the chill
dren.
There were two Deakin children-I.aw-
renee, or Larry, aged 10, and little Willie
who at the tender age of 3, had learned to
regard the Burnett tribe with scorn and
hatred and suffer to some degree under the
indignities heaped upon his family by.
that arch iiend of juyenility, Morton
Burnett.
For when the Deakens sat around the
supper table and cast up the accounts of
the day it was Larry who posed as the
prosecuted and abused child while Morton
Burnett was pictured as an infant of dark
intents, headed straight for the bride
well.
"If | was man, Tom Deakin, y said the
wife. "I'll warrant you I'd 90 over to
that house and give notice that things are
simply going too far To day that boy got
up on the fence and called Lawrence all
kinds of names"
Gle said that his mother had said ma
didn't have clothes fit to year, suggested
Lawrence, who had begun to breath hard
during the recital of his grievances.
anyway, l don't try to make myself
look like a peacock every time | start to
church, said Mrs. Deakin.
This comparison of Mrs. Burnett's to "A
peacock tickled the children, and they
laughed immoderately. Tom Deakin
restrained them with a quiet tut, tutn
and said that the proper way to get along
was to pay no attention to the neigh
bors.
'I'd like to know how you can help il"
said his wife. "That boy is up to some
mischief every hour of the day, and his
mother seems to encourage him in every
thing he does He throws things over into
our yard, leases While and makes faces
at him"
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1895-06-01

one day when Mrs. Deakin came home
from funeral in covered carriage, there
was CONSERVATION in the Burnett family.
and accounts were not fairly balanced until
new coat of paint was put on the Burnett
house.
The Deakin children told the Burnett
children all that their mother had said
about the probable character of Mrs. Bur
nett Likewise the Burnett children re.
peated to the Deakins all that they heard
at the supper table. Mrs. Burnett knew
that she was being reported to Mrs. Deakin
and Mrs. Deakin felt it her duty to learn
what the viperish thing had been saving.
Frank Burnett and Tom Deakin became
convinced each that the others family was
probably more to blame over the fence,
clothesline and garbage box issues.
Allie Burnett started to run across the
street one day in front of delivery wagon.
She fell, scrambled to her feet again, and
the horse knee struck her in the back,
She fell on the block payment and lay
quiet.
Mrs. Deakin saw it all from her front
window. She run into the street and
gathered the muddy child in her arms.
The frightened driver had left his wagon
and he followed he. timidly to the front
door of the Burnett house
Mrs. Burnett screamed and then began
to cry.
'Run for doctor, you loonyr' said Mrs
Deacon to the driver as she placed the limp
little body on a bed and then ran for cold
water and cloths
When the girl opened her eyes she found
her mother on one side, Mrs. Deacon on
the other, while reassuring physician
smiled at her over the footboard.
"She's little jolted up and bumped her
head when she fell, but it was mostly
shock, :" he said.
Claw me-" gasped Mrs. Deakin; "when
| saw that child fall, my heart just went
into my throat! Don't cry, Allie you
amt bit hurt. The Doctor says | can
put some more poultice on your bad old
bump"
I'll get it, said Mrs. Burnett.
"No; you sit still You are as pale as a
ghost"
That is how it happened that Frank
Burnett, coming home from the works by
the back way, found in his kitchen the
hated vixen the trainer of criminals the
woman without charcter-Mrs. Deakin.
She told him what had happened and
begged him not to brighten his wife, as
there wasn't any real danger.
Mr.. Deakin was likewise surprised upon
arriving home. Supper was not ready,
and his wife had gone over to the enemy.
He went after her and was taken in
Mrs. Deakin told him she couldn't come
home because Mrs. Burnett was all upset,
and some one would have to take care of

Stolen Horse.

Daniel Chestnut, of London, Lau-
rel County was here last week trying
to find mare that was sold here at
theApril court by Lewis Rector, a
member of a notorious band of horse
thieves that have been operating in
Eastern Kentucky, with headquarters
in the Big Hill country.
Rector and John Walden were ia
ken from the London Jail by mob
and made to confess. They said that
they had stolen a number of horses in
Madison and adjoining counties.
They gave the names of their associ-
stes as Henry Raden, James Owen,
Sill Jackson and Yves Jackson. Chest
nut did not succeed in finding any
trace of his Observation-Disclosures Sun.

Oae Advertisers Experience.


Editor Box, of the Ladies Home
Journal, is wiser, sadder and more
profane man than he was several
weeks since. Editor Box ought to
have known better, and he does now,
but at that time he advertised for a
bright young woman to assist him in
reading manuscript. 1t is said that
the first answer of the four thousand
came by special delivery at midnight,
and Mr.. Rok was compelled to get out
of bed, step on sly tack lying in
wait on the floor and receive the prec-
ious missive. One applicant candid
ly averred that she would undertah g
the job, but expected to receive sala-
airy of $4,000 to reconcile her to living
in Philadelphia. Some of the women
wrote letters giving him their CON-
plete family history from the deluge
down to date many called in person,
and the luckless editor, finally driven
to despair, put an end to the persecu-
ton by engaging woman he had
negotiated with before Advertising

to drive the powerful engine. And
speaking of the engine, one must see
it to appreciate its massiveness. 1t

horse power. The fly wheel alone
weighs 1890 pounds. All the parts
are highly polished, and the whole

The dynamo room is large and COM
modious, and well-lighted and venti-
lated. 1t contains two dynamos-one
for the incandescent lights and one
for the arc lights. The first has ca
pacity of 1000 lights and the latter 70.
Both are of the latest design and the
best workmanship. The switch board

SUIT BROUGHT IN OHIO.

On the Sth day of September. 1894,
negro woman was coming from Gin
cinnati to this city, and in changing
cars at Winchester, instead of going
into the coach prepared in accordance
with an act of the Legislature COM
monty known as the slim Crow" took
seat in the coach in which the white
passengers travel. The conductor
Mr.. Carmichael, when he took up her
ticket requested her to take a seat in
the car for the colored people. She
emphatically refused to go and Mr.,
>1srmichael took her by the arm and
without resistance she was led her into
the ear. This was all there was in it
but the woman, being persuaded that
she could recover damages off the
G.. & o. Railroad Company, has
brought suit in an Ohio Court for
$25, 900 damages.
1t is no more than the duty of our
people to see that Mr.. Carmichael gets
ljustice in this matter, and with this in
view we request the persons who wit

done, when backed by brains, energy
and progressiveness. The plant he
has put in here is of greater capacity
than is really needed, but he has con-
fidence in the future of Mt. Sterling
and is preparing now for the time
when our city will have a population
of from $4,000 to $4,000.
Next Thursday the fires will be
lighted under the boilers and trial
run will be made, and by July LIST,
Mt. Sterling will be one of the best
lighted towns of its size in the South.
A large force of men are employed
at the station and the work Is being
pushed rapidly forward. just as
soon as the Light Plant is in operation
work will be begun on the Water
Works, and that they will be finished
as soon as possible is assured by the
fact that John p. Martin is at the
head of it. He has done much for our
town and he will do more. He came
here a stranger and he now numbers
his friends by his acquaintances-for
while he is a business man in every
sense of the word, he is also one of the
most genial Of men.
Mr.. Martin can say with Caesar,
"Veni Vidi Vici."

dollar, and another thing about il is
that it is all of the very latest pattern
and of the very best make, nothing
cheap or shoddy can be found in the
entire building. We have been
through the electric light plantt in
many of the larger cities and Mt
Sterling's station, whileiperhaps moi
as large as some, compares favorably
with any when it comes to excellence.
Mr.. Martin has put in new poles and
strung new wires, three car loads OF
poles beingl used, all being of the
finest Michigan white cedar, and all
are nicely painted which, by the way,
the contract didn't call for. Twenty
miles of wire will be used to carry
the electric fluid over the city, three
miles of which is the No variety,
the largest wire made.
Mr.. j. M.Bevill,oi the Lane & Bodley

Mr.. Martin took charge many thought
that ii would only be a repeti-
ton of what had ever been the case

man of that character. By his in
