A report was in circulation in this
town last week that the Farmers &
Merchants Bank at Piedmont had
failed or was about 20 fail. The reas-
on give therefor was that the Null
lanphy Bank in St. Louis, which
was closed by the State authorities on
February 9th, was depository of the
Piedmont Bank, and that it would be
seriously crippled, if not bankrupted,
by the failure of the st. Louis institu-
ton. The Piedmont Banner of last
Thursday, stated, however, that there
was no truth in the report; that while
it was true that the bank had some
money in the Mullanphy Bank, still
the loss would not be over $500. The
Banner says the Piedmont Bank is
ready apd abundantly able to meet all
obligations and is ''solid as a rock"

but sympathy is decidedly with Mich
oils. While the killing is universal
ly deplored and regretted, still the
general opinion is that Nichols had no
intention of homicide. All winter the
farmers of the community have been
suffering from the depredations of cora
thieves and while the tragedy is de-
plored the result, in the end, may be
wholesome. Henry hadn't lived in
the county but few months. and
while his reputation was not particu-
larly bad, yet he was regarded as
rather worthless character. He leaves
a wife and one child.

Your Representative in Congress

VIII be as much Interested in
this question as yourself, as it bears
upon subject in which the entire
people are Interested and that is
which is the best route to Washing
ton, the Capital of the United
States? We claim the distinction
for the Buckeye Route, as being
the lest, because in connection
with the b. & O. r.. II. via Athens,
ii forms the shortest and most di-
rect line from Northern and Cen
trail Ohio points. In connection
with the Il. ~ O. II. r., through yes.
tibuled Pullman Sleeping and
Drawing room cars of the most ap.
proved pattern are run every day
in the year, leaving Toledo at 4:55
p, NJ, reaching Washington next
day noon and Baltimore :35 p. NJ.
This route takes you via the His
toric Potomac, Harpers Ferry and
the Blue Ridge Mountains. Solid
trains are run from Toledo to Ath-
ems, connecting with the Royal
Blue Line through to New York
via Washington, Baltimore and
Philadelphia, carrying elegant day
coaches and superb vestibuled
sleeping cars through without
change. Please keep this fact in
mind when you have occasion to
go east and see that your tickets
read via the Buckeye Route and
the Royal Blue Line. Agents of
the @. II. V. d II. Ry. will secure
you sleeping car berths, your bag
gage, and see you started right.

1900, decide what questions are
then fit for arbitration, instead oi
having them decided beforehand
and in the dark by the Senate as
constituted in 1897? Which is the
bettemfitted f5rjudging the matter
the body that cannot forecast what
the subjects are that may presen
themselves for arbitration, or tho
body for gh6ia,nthGy exist as sub
jects OF the hour?
This amendment, in fact, puts
pithily objections that have inspir-
ed earnest appeals in the Senate
against the whole principle OF
agreeing to arbitrate unknown
matters. 1t can Of course easily be
modified so as to gfvevto the British
Government of any future day the
same liberty of decision which is
reserved to our Senate of the same
period. It!converts the treaty, in
fact, to one for arranging before
hand the machinery of arbitration,
and leaves to the future the liberty
of supplying or refusing to supply
the motive power which can alone
set that machinery in operation.
Before long, apparently, we shall
know, by the decisive vote, wheth-
er the changes have, in the Sen
ate's opinion, cured the treaty's
defects, so that it need not
be dropped altogether.
