Miss Lizzie Peed and brother, of
Grassy Lick, were the guests of
friends here the last of the week.
Cy Corbin spent Friday night
and Saturday with friends here
and attended the celebration Sat-
urday.
Mrs. Martha Kerns, of Nicholas
Co., came up Saturday to spend a
few weeks with her sister, Mrs.
Sallie Darnell, and other relatives
here. Her son VIM. accompanied
her, returning home Sunday.
John MARYLAND traded his horse
to Emmett Parks for bicycle last
week. John has the honor, if honor
it be, of owning the first bicycle
that ever made track within a
mile of where it was traded for, on
the head waters of johnson Hol-
low, tributary of White Oak.
Last Sunday was one day of rest
for most all of the ladies in this
vicinity, as they had an abundance
of provisions prepared for the eel
ebration left on hands, as it rained
all forenoon in this part of the
county, consequently none of them
got to go until after dinner, and
some of them not at all.
The SICK.-Mrs. Hornback is
about the same. T. j. Jones is bet
ter. Mrs. W. W. Bailey was bet
ter for few days, but not SO we'll
today (Monday). Mrs. j. T. Gud-
CELL is quite poorly and has been
since Saturday, when she got bad
scare, was unnerved while with her
husband and little daughter in a
buggy on their return from the eel
ebration. Two young men, who
seemed to have no respect for Ia
dies, little children, themselves nor
any one else, went to firing off their
pistols right on the pike above Wy
oming and running their horses.
The horse that Mr.. Gudgell's fam
lily was driving got badly fright
ened and tried to run, but Mr.. G..
being strong held him on the pike
and got him checked without any
serious damage except the scare of
Mrs. G. and the little girl. The
young men will likely learn a les
son that they will remember in the
near future. They should learn
the letter anyway and particulars.

GEN. LEW WALLACE, whose attack
of literary "big head" has made
him iguratively bow-legged for
some years past, is in a violent stew
because the ex-Confederate people
erected a monument to JEFF Davis
at Richmond. Not all the prestige
of the authorship of "Ben Hur" can
license him to make hide bound
Political ass of himself.
Isn't he the Gen. Lew Wallace
who, Gen. Grant said. got lost with
in ten miles of the battle of Shiloh
and couldn't find the way there
when he was so badly needed.

MCKINLEY cares not who makes
the silver dollars so he be allowed
to make and collect the tariff taxes.
Bland cares not who makes the
tariff SO he be allowed TO make and
distribute the silver dollar. Thus
the people will probably be forced
to accept 80 cents for a dollars
worth of labor or its product and
10 at once hand this half loaf over
to the tax-gatherer, finally being
without bread or money.-Louis-

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-12-06
26: Baltimore. 81

Hamilton, &c; Baltimore, 81
Hamilton defeated Baltimore last
Saturday in a match for the A. w. L..
challenge trophy, by a margin of five
tricks. Baltimore had a lead Of eight
tricks at the end of the first sixteen
deals but stubborn uphill play on the
part of the Philadelphians, coupled, we
we assume, with some carelessness and
bad play on the part Of Baltimore,
changed apparent defeat into a vic
tory Mr.. Work says that the standard
of play was far from being up to high
water mark, and that neither team
played anywhere near the game it was
capable Of. We are as much surprised
and disappointed at the tactics of the
Baltimore team in abandoning the
modern informatory game as is Mr..
Work, who says in the Telegraph:
One Of the surprises and disappointments
of the game was that the Baltimore team re-
sorted TO the non-informatory game of the
days gone by, when modern information CIV
ing devices were unknown The leading of
third, sixth and fifth bests, etc.. at first was
most confusing to the local players, who never
for moment expected that team of the
caliber of Baltimore tan aggregation of whist
ers whose deserved reputation and record of
achievements are practically second to none
in the country would resort to plan which
apparently comedies to the opponents superior
ability in placing the cards.
At the start stated above, this deyia-
ton by Baltimore undoubtedly gained them
a few tricks. After it was understood by
Hamilton, however, all gains from that source
ceased, and the inability to accurately read
their partners hands probably had something
to do with the record made by Baltimore after
deal %.
Baltimore used the nine and eight as I'M
equivocal calling cards with an honor
turned, and led ace from a five-card suit but
in other respects played the same game as
in the past. The score by deals was
Dcoi

quilted himself with credit and re-
noWn, was silent when Burchard ut
tered the fatal words: Rum Roman
ism and Rebellion" On the following
day he spoke in defense of the religion
OF his mother; but it was too late. He
was defeated.
That celebrated historical incident
constitutes a formidable precedent In
one sense only 1t demonstrates that
the people do not want and will not
tolerate an admixture of religion with
politics in this republic The people
did not care whether Blaine was a
Presbyterian or Catholic Thousands
of them resented the coupling Of re-
ligious denomination with intemper-
ance, prohibition or rebellion. Our ma
tional politics must be abstract, and
not concrete.
In the recent campaign the people
did not care and few Of them knew
that Bryan was Presbyterian and
Mckinley a Methodist If, however.
any political speaker had elaborated
his oratory with a sheer at either
one Of those religious denominations,
the people would undoubtedly have
shown most emphatic resentment at
the polls. Fortunately we had clean,
honorable campaign. Both of the can
t9tiOn and purity of character.
If Bryan had been elected, the next
president would have worshiped in the
church which was attended by Abra-
ham Lincolon. Since Mckinley was
chosen, we are to have a Methodist in
the White house, and he will be a COM
munieant of Foundry church.
There are tens Of thousands Of ag-
nostics and free thinkers in the land;
and yet none Of us will regret that our
president is to be man who devoutly
believes in the Christian religion.
