near wherethe NJ. p. Church stands.
This was meeting place for the
whole neighborhood AS no one work

would meet as the store for pastime.
You could see from fifty to hun

ternoon. They would amuse them
selves by shooting mark, jerking
long bullets, pitching quarters, play
ing cards and playing tricks Oh each
other and drinking liquor called
''tanglefoot, sold at the store for 6
cents a pint. Toward evening all
would get full OF fun. In the crowd
was a man b. the name Of John
Burk, who worked in Eversole's
stillhouse. He had been drinking
freely and mischievous fellow took
his hat, filed it half full of tar and
put it on his head again. This start
cd fight, and soon all was engaged
in it, as both parties had their friend.
Many q poor fellow went home that
evening with a black eye and bloody
nose. We had living among us an
old man by the pame of Jimmy
johnson. He lived about half mile
below our village. He WAS one of
The best Swimmers on the river and
was also fond of his tea. Samuel
Dockerty kept a store on the bank
of the river and sold whiskey. Old
Jimmy would come to this store, and
when be would get so drunk that he
could not walk he would roll into

A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY

The State Legislature will meet
on Wednesday, and it will be an
eventful or an uueventful session, as
the Republican members will for the
first time in many ears, control both
branches Of it and it behooves them
to take advantage of the confidence
and power replaced in them, and to
give the people who elected them,
such legislation as is needed for the
subserviency of their best interests.
The sessions OF this body are neither
frequent nor long, indeed hardly
long enough to do justice TO the in
ereasing demands Of the States in
situations and resources for good
wholesome, non-partisan legislation
and if the party in power would mer-
it the plaudits- of lis commitments
and perpetuate its reign it, must i'm
prove every moment of the brief ses-
zion. There is much to do and
much to undo. There is scarcely one
of our institutions which does not
need attention, and many Of them
have been in times Of Democratic
power invested with spirltIof par
tisanship that ought be weeded out
sfthem. The highest end Of legis-
lation is that it will do good to the
whole people. We trust this may be
the purpose of the Republican mem
bers at the coming session, so that
every voter may say of them "well
done"

TOO HORRIBLE
70 Be Printed Are the Details OF Ar

BosToN, MASS, Jan. IA letter
just received in this city from point
near the seat of the recent oatrages
in Eastern Turkey places the NUM-
Der of slaughtered Armenians at fsll-
ly $4,000. It is written by man in
whom the highest confidence is
placed, and portions are too horri-
BILE to repeat. The writer, 10 part
says:
@The Armenians, oppressed BY
Kurds and Turks, said: We cannot
ray taxes to both Kurds and gov
ernment.' Plundered and oppressed
by the Kurds, they resisted them;
thoee were some killed. The false
reports we're sent to Constantinople
that the Armenians were in arms in
rebellion. Orders were sent to the
mushir at Fazengan to exterminate
them. The order read before the
army collected in haste from sill the
chief tribes of Eastern Turkey
sWhoever spares men, women or
children is disloyal.' The region was
surrounded by soldiers, and 10000
Kurds also are said to have been
massed there. Then they advanced
upon the centre. driving in the people
like flock of sheep, and continued
thus TO advance for days.
mo quarter was given; no mercy
shown. Men, women and children
we're shot down or butchered like
sheep. Probably when they were
set upon in this way, some tried to
save their lives and resisted in seif-
defence. Many who could fed in
all directions, but the majority were
slain. The most probable estimate
is Is 5000 killed, IS villages plumber
ed, RACED and burned. Women were
outraged and men butchered. A
priest was taken TO the root of his
church and hacked to pieces, and the
edifce set ON fire. A large number
of women and girls collected in a
church, were kept for several days,
the sports for soldiers, and then
murdered. 1t is said the number
was so large that the blood flowed
out of the church door.
THE soldiers contended over a
beautiful girl. They wanted to pre-
serve her, but she, too, was killed.
As confirmation of the report, the
other day several hundred soldiers
we're returning from the seat of war,
and one was heard to say that he
alone, with his own hadd, had killed

A WOMAN SPEAKS FOR AN INDUS
TRIAL ScHooL.-In short time bill
will be introduced in our next Leg
islature, which we feel sure will meet
with the approval of the best citi-
zens in our State, who have real
desire for its prosperity, and it is the
hope of large number of people
that it will be passed.
1t is for the formation Of an In
dustrial School for girls. No bill could
be Passed that would confer greater
benefit on our State. In other States
such schools have been crowned with
abundant success, and each year
proves the wisdom of such step.
There are young girls in every
community who are a constant men,
ace to all the boys and girls with
whom they come in contact. Little
girls from 7 to II, standing on cor
ners listening to course jokes, inde'
cent language, irreverent and pro-
fame speeches and submitting TO I'm.
due familiarity of vile men. Little
ones who !! :, no parents or such
are wholly incompetent to care for
them, some, where parents have died,
and the girls in the care of people
who feel no responsibility, or wholly
unfit to care for them.
Young girls of II years of age
picked up at midnight and put in our
lockups. There is not a town in our
State where there may not be one or
more such cases,who would be great
ly benefited by such q school and
the training it would give. They
could become useful citizens, wives
and mothers, instead of growing up
moral lepers, and this becoming
mothers of race of criminals.
Year by year these girls enter
the labyrinth and are destroyed by
the monster of impurity. They are
in the midst of manifold perverting
influences. Every hour the sacri-
fees is going on. How shall we HIM
der it? Something must be done to
save these little ones from becoming
abandoned women. Shall we not
give them higher aim in life?
We can in this way advance per-
sonal and public purity in our State.
The State that takes care of its chill
dren is laying the foundation for
citizenship. This good work will
gladden. homes now sorrowful and
dark. Pure habits drilled into the
forming brain of childhood means
christian womanhood and christian
citizenship.
Line upon line, precept upon pre-
cept, craven in the brain and worked
into the warp and wool Of character
in its formative period will build
strong foundations for the future
womanhood. Many mothers en-
shrined in the safe seclusion of pure
homes are blind to the dangers men.
acing their loved ones. Blindness
to moral danger often invites calami-
ty. Every parent of one child or
more, needs to recognize. the fact
that certain moral evils infest the
moral atmosphere OF childhood.
The object of this school is for the
purpose of protecting and training
just such girls as are mentioned and
to teach them pure habits, to instruct
them in some useful occupation chief
ly house work, ana make them pure,
useful and honorable citizens, who
will be an honor to any community.
We hope our Legislature will see
the wisdom of this step and go pre-
pared to do all in their power to
make this success.
