in a nominally Christian land such
diabolical sentiment and purpose can
be allowed to exist. 1 wish to ask
through the pages of your widely read
paper if it be the case. I would also
like to ask, if this is true, what do
the heads of our Christian homes ex-
pect to do about it? How do they
intend to protect the children Of the
land? A MOTHER OF SONS.

G. Goff, postmaster of De Soto, has
rendered his resignation, to take effect
January /, 1897. Mr.. Goff's term does
not expire untilnext April. Hehas had
eleven years of continuous service in
the De Soto Office, having been assist

Cleveland's second administration,

The Vicious Iconoclast.

1t is said that the state headquarters
of the Baptist Church are to be re-
moved from Waco, Texas, on account
of certain scurrilous articles in the
Iconoclast, a paper published in that
town. The Kansas City World thus
comments on the case:
II this result should be brought
it will be a deserved punishment to the
city that permits the publication of a
sheet that seeks to tear down, to black
en- and disgrace, and never has one
kindly word to offer for all the pood
that exists in the world to-day. The
Iconoclsst is what its name implies, q
shatterer. 1t not vuly sorAs " uos::.Uy
the false idols of the present day, but
the true ones. 1t took up the case of
an unfortunate girl at Baylor Univer-
sity and treated it as If such affairs
were the fixed rule, and not the ex-
ception, at that institution of learn
ing. 1t cast asperations on the charac-
ters of innocent young women in Ian
guage that cannot be repeated. Untold
harm has been done, and two men are
in aheir graves to-day because the
right of this editor to publicly attack
Southern womanhood was disputed.
Mr.. Brann is cultured and educat-
ed man, and does himself a constant
injustice by binding his talents to an
ignoble use. The Iconoclast is prob
ably paying property, financially
considered, but the effect of such pub
licati ons on society at large is bane-
full. Kansas City had taste of such
a paper, and it to be hoped that re
currence of it will never be permitted.
While assuming highmoral ground.
the Iconoclast really panders to .
jaded and depraved mental appetite.
Such publications subserve no good
end, and there is no intelligent reason
for their existence.

The Surprise of All.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm
OF Joues & Son, Cowden. Ill, in speak
ing of DR.. Kings New Discovery, says
that last winter his wife was attacked
with La Grippe, and her case grew so
serious that physicians at Cowden
and Pana could do nothing for her
1t seemed to develop into Hasty Con-
sumption. Having DR.. Kings New
Discovery in store, and selling lots of
it, he took bottle home, and to the
surprise all she began to get better
from first dose, and half dozen dollar
bottles cured her sound and we'll. DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs, and Colds is guaranteed to do
this good work. Free trial bottle at

A kissing Edc ctor.

The Palmetto fla News has an
editor with a fancy for .ssculatory ex-
ercise. His passion for kissing has
tempted him to insert in his columns
an inyitation to women anxious to
touch their ruby lips to his, and he
heads it "The Editor Ks Besieged. ~
The invitation is as follows:
"Some bright fellow has discovered
that the kiss of newspaper man is a
passport to good luck. If any of our
fair sex. old maids and grass widows
not excepted, wish to try their luck on
this wheel of fortune, they are cordial
ly invited to visit the News Office in
single file."
Perhaps all the women of Florida,
including old maids and widows, are
attractive. We should hesitate to be
so free in offering our kisses to the
public, for it is certain that the invi-
tation wenld not be acceptable, or that
the aeoeItors might prove specimens
making kissing personal effort.

Keep Your Dollars at Home.

The Mammoth Springs Monitor has
the following truthful remarks that hit
US:
Never send adollar away from home
when the article that dollar will pur-
chase can be obtained at home. Money
is our commercial blood. Its circula-
ton keeps the body alive. Bleed that
body by sending the money away and
business will put on look of lethar-
gic inactivity. Always trade at home.

terprising advertisers in this paper
and you will learn the best place to
spend those home dollars.

HELD UP
And Robbed of sixteen DoIlas.

And Robbed of sixteen DoIlas.
Last Saturday night between seven
and eight O'Clock Dave Masters was
held up and robbed of sixteen dollars,
all the money he had on his person.
Mr.. Masters and another gentleman,
whose name we could not learn, were
coming east on Independence street
nearthe public school grounds and two
men sprang out of a dark place from
the side of the street, grabbed Mr..
Masters, threw him to the ground and
relieved him of his money. The gen.
tleman who was with Mr.. Masters was
told by the robbers to move on in
double quick time and he moved.
After the robbers secured .he money
they ran away. The night was dark
one and Mr.. Masters conld not recog-
nize the robbers.

Political Slavery.

The election in Augusta. Ga, Wed
nesdap was, according to dispatch
from that city, .'unparalled for cor
ruption of the franchise" In the First,
Second, Third and Fifth ways the dis
patch, the workers on one side "paek-
ed the polling places at 2 O'Clock in
the morning with lines of negroes, :"
and it was hours before the negroes on
the other side could be brought to the
polls. In the meantime the negroes
who were already in line waving their
new S. bills in the face of the black
cohorts of the adversary, demoralized
and finally captured them. There are
5000 negro voters in Augusta, and the
quotations at p. m, according to the
dispatch, were as follows: Influential
negroes-preachers, BARRIERS, captains
of military companies, leaders in secret
societies-from sl2 tos17 apiece; dray-
men, hack drivers and porters, from
IS to s12, stubborn negroes, from Sc
to $40; common, ordinary 'coons, ,
from So to S."
AS each bribed negro deposited his
ballot, continues the account from
which we havealready quoted, the bal
lots being easily identified because
printed in red, white and blue paper,
he was given a slim by a worker. The
negro walked across the court house
yard and one of the political treasur-
ers handed him an envelope, in which
was found a brand-new So bill. The
yells of delight of these negroes, the
brandishing in the air of their new,
crisp bills, set the eothernegroes crazy.
and soon they were tearing off their
badges and replacing them with rib.

They came to feed upon the charitable
bounty of St Louis. and will be inn

was deserted by her husband some

Moody on the Press.

Moody. the evangelist, who is not
always cheerful about the functions OF
the press, said recently of journalism:
. 1T is one of the most enobling and
educating of professions. In my
opinion, every theological student in
the land ought to work ona newspaper
for at least year, in order to study
human nature and gain the knowledge
that it is impossible to receive in the
academy, at the college, and in the
seminary.
That's the trouble with preachers
They dom t know themen to whom they
are preaching: they haven't knowl
edge of humane nature: the best way
to acquire all of which is work on the

the Water Works.
FORT SCOTT, KAN, Dec. 13.-Not a
drop of water has been served to the
consumers since Mayor Hesser took
charge of the Water-works Saturday
evening. Employees of the water COM
pany refuse to work for the city and
no engineer can be found who can
operate the pumps. The city authori-
ties accuse the company's engineer of
having ''spiked' the pumps. The
Superintendent the works has served
notice on the city that the safety of the
pumping station is in danger because
of the ineompetency OF the men who
are attempting to run it. Hotels,
factories and consumers generally are
compelled to obtain waterfront private
sources, which are insufficient to sup
ply the needs. The trouble grows out
of the city forcing the water company
to sell its plant.

Winter Habits OF The Quail.

Spor:smen, epicures, and the bird s
cherry whistle have made bobwhite one
of our best known birds. AS the most
Northern representative of a family
which has its center of abundance in
subtropical regions, bobwhite is more
susceptible to the rigors of Northern
winter than more truly boreal birds.
Being eminently terrestrial, heavy
SHOWS sometimes completely bury
bevies Of birds, roosting, as is their
wont, ou the ground. They seem, how
ever. none the worse for a living in
terment, and have even been known to
seek shelter in a snow bank, diving
into it while in full flight. 1t is when
fall OF snow is heavily crusted that
bobwhite is in danger. Escape from
beneath his snowy coverlid is then i'm
possible, and whole iocke have been
found frozen; where they had roasted.
