aDIXIE.''

The following beautiful extracts
are from the lecture Oh ''Dlxie,"
by Gov. Bob Taylor, of Tennessee:
"Whcn the angels Of the Lord
had laid out and completed the
second Paradise OH earth, which l
think the cherubim and seraphim
named the beautiful land of
"Dixie" when they had rested un-
der the shade Of its trees, and
ba.hed in its crystal waters, and
breathed the perfume Of its flowers,
they spread their wings on its mel.
low air and mounted upward to-
ward the skies. They hung win
dow on the clouds, and pursuing
its gorgeous archway northward
GER bill and vale and mountain and
across the Potomac and the Ohio,
they alighted to tie Its neither end
to earth, and behold! there lay
stretched out before them another
Empire of transcendcnt beauty,
and 10! they made third Paradise,
and called it the land of yankee
Doodle" Ever since that day the
rainbow has rested with one end on
"Dixie," and the other on Yankee
Doodle" and its radiant arch
bends above q race Of the bravest
men and the most beautiful women
that the sun in heaven ever shone
upon.''
.As unto the crown the jewels
are, so anto the nation is Dixie.
She is tie red and white of the
American flag, aud some Of the
blue; she is the dimple in The
cheek OF the goddess Of Liberty;
she is the diamond pin in the shirt
bosom of Yankee Doodle.

President Mckinley spent his first
Sunday in Washington by going
to the Methodist Church, of which
he is a member. Mrs. Mckinley
was too fatigued to 60, SO he went
with his ma. This is significant.
The country is full of young
Americans who attend church every
time their ma goes with them.
When the conditions are different,
it is sometimes otherwise.

There is a fool fellow named
Charles Burton, of Monticello,
KY, who has contracted with the
government to carry the mail for
four years between that town and
Burnside, q distance of twenty
miles, for the munifcent compen-

contract necessitates his travelling
forty miles . day, or l9, $40 miles

defeat an enemy of his, though it
would appear to any rational mind
that the enemy has long way the
best of it.

The adjutant general of the
United States army is authority
for the statement that in the event
of war this country could put, if
their services were required, not
less than 100000 men in the
field. In view of this fact no
European power will ever attempt
to invade the Unired States, and
in the event of the government
becoming involved in a foreign
war it will have to be fought out
ON the sea.

II Has Been 4 Sober Year.

A gentleman of refinement ana wen
known in this city. one who observes
more perhaps than most men OF the So
cal makeup of the municipality, cailed
on the Journal. Sunday: anu sala ne wan,-
ed to talk. He was informed that speech
was as free as air in this Office. outside
of political chatter; that we would not
stand from our father.
IL don't want to talk politics in the
general way | want to call your atten-
tiOn to an item meant for joke, prob
ably. that appeared in the Journal. the
other morning. You seemed to think that
the mayor was joking with you when he
made the remark he did about the I'M
provement in the social condition or the
city over what it was. last spring. l did
not vote for Mayor Redington and will
not if he is canuidate at the election,
next spring but | want to say that he
has done much good in his capacity as
mayor. True he did not continue to push
the rumsellers after his first effort. last
spring. but he gave them to understand
one thing. and that was that rum should
not be sold so freely and openly in this
city as before. And | say to you that
there never has been year during my
residence in this city. and will have been
here 10 years. next June. when there was
so little indication of intOxication on the
street as since the day that Mayor Red
ingtOn issued his ultimatum to the rum
sellers. l do not expect to see the day
when there will be no rum sold in Water
VILE and | don't think you do. but If the
good work of the present mayor and city
marshal is carried on by the next admin
istration. I shall be satisfied that rum
sellers know there is a God in Israel and
that they have the good sense to curb to
a slight degree their impatience to make
and listen to the command of the law.
think the records of the police court will
show that the arrests have been fewer
for the offence of intoxication than for
years. l believe our handsome city has
been renovated at least little. and
hope to see more of the same good work.
The journal could not see where it had
any remonstrance coming, and as the
gentleman seemed to be as well posted
as the scribe upon all subjects on which
he was tackled. the reporter concluded
that young men should be seen and not
heard

calls himself, Isaac Estes. The COM
mercial man told the healer that he
had a bad corn and if he was what he

do it at all, withoutthe man removing

Isaac began rubbing the shoe of the
pretender. who had no corn, and while
doing so the open pocket of his coat
displayed a lot Of cards and small bills
that Isaac had got out advertising the
fact that he had been sent by the Al
mighty to heal the sick. These cards
and bills caught the eye of the COM
from the pocket and scattered them all
over the platform while the old man
was still rubbing his shoe.
The commercial man had great fun.
He was in town. yesterday. and it was
noticed that he was limping from some
cause. A friend asked him the cause,
ard he replied that he had one of the

just the same and bothered him awful
ly. He said he had never had corn

The new water main from the City
Farm to the Winthrop street reservoir.
is completed, and the undertaking has
been in every way satisfactory to the
commissioners. Owing to the fact that
the hill near the Winthrop street reser-
voir was some 8 feet higher than the
City Farm dam. a siphon was effected.
The pumping station has shut down
and the men who have been employed
there have been discharged. This will
mean saving of monthly expendi-
ture of about $125. The cost of laying
the new main was near $4,000.
