Tn our last issue we found it nee

essary TO call attention to some tacts
srelating to our Circuit Judges
public record. Upon mature re-
Election we do not find 1T necessary
to retract or modify a single state
ment made. What we have writ
ten we have written. But we are
glad we did not say more and SIN
celely hope it may not become
nee sary to go further into TINS
miserable business, The county
s'sore toe'' has been exposed to the
gaze of the curious quite enough
we hope. The unanimity with
which the good people Of the coun-
ty endorsed and ratified our utter
ances was something almost I'M
heard of, and though we have no
kind of doubt, if it shall seem nee
essary to 90 further in this miser-
able expose of matters among us,
the same cordial backing will be
given us, yet we are disposed Tor
the present to let matters rest,
hopeful that the elements Of dis
cord may be largely eliminated
from our courts in future. What
we desire and what every good
citizen in the county desires is a
fair and impartial administration
of the law. Law must reign SUI
preme if we are to have peace.
But one prerequisite to arespect
for the law is a certain degree OF
purity in the judiciary. The gos--
pei of the Christ cannot be sue
cessfully, however eloquently,
preached by man who has the
faint of the libertine or the smell
of the drunkard about him. So
must the man who sits to admins
ter the law from the bench, build
for himself character absolutely
above suspicion. 1t is in the pow
Fer of our Circuit Judge to have
iuries, both Grand and Petit, of
such unexceptional character as
will put at rest all questions of
crookedness. Let us see just such
class of jurymen at our next and
succeeding terms of the court.
Even our Circuit Judge will scarce
ly now deny there is plenty of ma
terial from which to select such
iuries in Montgomery county.

Death of George Hamilton.

Mr.. George Hamilton, one of the
best known men of this section, died
at the home of his son-in-law, John
NJ. Elliott, at this place yesterday, at
10 go a. m. Mr.. Hamilton, who was
~ years of age, has for some time
been sufferer from chronic diarrhoea
and has been failing for months past.
For several weeks he has been very
i'll and his death was not unexpected.
Mr.. Hamilton has for many years
been prominent figure in business
circles in this section. In the palmy
days of sLort-horn breeding, he to-
gether with his brother James G..
Hamilton, owned the famous Flat
Creek herd, and they were known far
and wide as among the most snccess-
fnl breeders in the whole country :.
His landed interests were extensive
and he was known as one OF the
shrewdest business men in this sec
ton. His home at Flat Greek, a
beautiful one, was one of the recog-
nized centers of hospitality, in that
broad sense, that has made the blue
grass so famous the world over. Mr..
Hamilton was born and raised in
Bath county, which has" all his lite
long been his home. He probably
enjoyed the widest business acquaint-
ance of any man in Eastern Kentucky
and numbers among his friends men
in every State in the union. lie was
man of most untiring energy and one
whose insight into human nature,
gave him conspicuous in success deal
ing with men. Though a man OF
marked ability he only once allowed
himself to be induced to accept public
office, serving his county one term in
the legislature, conceiving that the
life of the private citizen is quite as
muCn StdtlOil Vi uouot' 40 'h"U va 'hN
official, yet when he chose to interest
himself in politics for his friends, he
made himself felt to degree that
bespoke him a born controll-
er of men. The Hamilton
name is one of the Oldest
and most honorable in this section,
the family having played a conspicu-
Gus part in the business history OF the
State.
He was for many years member
of the old Springfield (Presbyterian)
church, of which his progenitors
were among the unders and in the
yard of which many of them rest in
that dreamless sleep in which he has
Joined them. A man who despised
show and parade, he moved modestly
aud quietly among his fellows, doing
the work in hand with so little pa
rade that his largest enterprises
were an accomplished fact, often, be-
fore those near at hand knew of their
coming. He was married to Miss
Ellen Ashby, and she survives him,
together with two sons, w. w. of
Fayette county, and AshbY, of Kan
sas City, and four daughters, Mrs.
John M. Elliott, of this city; Mrs. G .
B. Simmons, of Fayette county; Mrs.
Winston Woodson and Miss Nellie, OF
Flat Greek.
The funeral will be held at the
Southern PRESBYTERIAN church to-day
at 3 p. M, Rev. w. e Kellar, his pas
tor, officiating, and the burial will
take place tomorrow at ii 80 a. m. at
Lexington.

The Mt. Sterling Water Works
Company in connection with the
Committee from tie City Council,
Mayor Adam Baum, Attorney H.Clay
Mckee, and Couucimcn .. Ii. Bryan,
}. Nj. Isola and j. ID. Wilson have
contracted with M. John Z. Martin,
Of Xenia, Ohio, for the construction OF
a Water Works plant. 1t will be
built under the franchise of the Nj.
Sterling Water Works Co. The only
change made by the City Council in
the contract was the extending of
mains from a. to 6 miles, increasing
the hydrants from 70 to 80 and plac.
ing them as directed by the City En-
gineer. The water is to be pure, and
of sufficient quantity. The site for
the reservoir and pumping station
purchased by the former company goes
with the deal.
With this deal contract with Mr..
Martin for putting in an electric light
plant is also closed, and the time given
for the completion of both plants is 6
months, though Mr.. MAJ tin hopes to
have them in successful operation by
August LIST, and will begin work as
soon as the weather will permit. The
machinery for the electric plant has
already been purchased and contracts
under Mr.. Martin will soon be let. In
regard to the proposed electric rail-
road from here to Sharpsburg, Mr.
Martin thinks that all necessary ar
rangements will be made at an early
date, and work on it will be begun and
pushed to rapid completion. In the
meantime the feasibility of a road
from here to Clay City will be conSid-
cred by the capitalists associated
with him in these enterprises.

In speaking of the proposed roaC
connecting Tillamook and Clatsop coun
ties, Mr.. Wist, a prominent citizen oi
Ndhalem had the following to say to al
Astorian reporter yesterday: Il know
the country along this coast as well as
any man in thes@ parts, and l know
that the proposed road would not only
be the easiest built in the county, but
would be of the greatest value to AS
toria. In our county we have the road
completed nearly up to the Clatsop
county line, and there remains but
three miles of timber country to go
through in order to extend 1t down to
Cannon Beach. The old road as slash
ed out would strike the beach just
north of Arch Cape, but l think far
better would he found If the road was
kept on the ridge bringing it onto the
beach a mile and half north, at the
Cannon Beach postofiice. 1t would not
be a difficult road to build, either as 1t
Is principally wmdfalls and could be
easily burned out. From the post
ofIlce to Elk Creek is plain sailing, and
all the road work necessary is on three
points where good roadway could
easily be constructed over these
places"

fore another high tide, and at one time
had as many as thirty men working
The dikes are too small at the base
and not high enough. One thing clear
ly demonstrated by the recent waShout
is that a better way can be devised for
constructing flood gates than by plac,
ing them in sloughs. Heretofore they
have been constructed in the center of
the slough, and an embankment thrown
up on each side, Every time a flood or
high tide came, the embankment was
sure to break. Now 1t Is intended In
future dixie building, to close up the
slough completely, and run a canal
with flood gates on each side. 1t is be-
lieved that this will effectually put o
stop to the constant breaking Of flood
gate embankments.
