Splendid Lectures

Hon. ]. Beauchamp, the celebrated
lecturer, traveller and writer, has been
speaking to large audiences in the
Court House this week. The series
of lectures will be brought to close
this evening. Mr.. Beauchamp differs
greatly from the average temperance
lecturer who gets off the same old
sterreotyped speech. He is we'll edu-
Gated, has travelled extensively and is
thoroughly posted on his subject. He
does not get up and abuse poor fe,-
low who drinks, nor does he jump on
the saloon keepers and manufacturers.
He claims the peoele are to blame for
permitting the evil and they alone are
responsible. Our people have enjoyed
his talks greatly and hope Mr. Beauct-
amp will find it convenient to come
our way again.

A Mistake.

The Richmond Paragraph, in its
last issue, says Rev. I. j. Crawford,
pastor of the Paint Lick Presby terra n
church, died of diphtheria, and that a
number of cases exist in Lancaster.
The Paragraph was grossly misir-
formed, as Rev. Crawford has not been
ill. One o: his children died of dyph-
liberia last week at Old Paint L'c,s, and
a local physician tells us there are a
few cases there, but so far as the dis
ease being in Lancaster we say pos
lively that there has been none in
town for many months. OF course the
Paragraph believed it had straight
item, but its informant should be
more careful in circulating reports
which work so seriously against a
town.

The marriage of Prof. Kenneth Pos
tie and Miss Annie Robinson will be
solemnized at the residence OF the
brides mother, on Lexington avenue,
this Thursday evening at 8 o'clock1
The ceremony will be said by Elder
George Gowen, pastor of the Christian
church. The bride is the only daugh-
ter of the late William R. Robinson,
who for many years was president of
the National Bank, and one of Lancas
ter's most prominent and substantial
business men. She is possessed of a
lovely disposition, is highly educated
and has charming manners. She is a
great favorite among the young folks,
and her company is always enjoyable
to those about her. She will make a
loving helpmeet to the man of her
choice. Prof. Postie is native OF
Olio, having been raised at Columbus.
He is young man of exemplary hab.
! s and fine business qualifications.
This is his second year as a professor
in the local Graded Schools, and his
work has given great satisfaction to
those concerned. The wed ling was a
very quiet one, only the immediate
relatives being present sThe happy
couple will not take a bridal tour, ow.
ing to Prof. Postle's pressing duties
in the Graded School Rev. and Mrs,
j. s. Postle, of Ohio, parents of the
groom, attended the marriage.

The DUTY CT the Hour.

In addressing the citizens and tax
payers of the county on tive question
of voting for the issue of $50, 900 of the
county's bonds for the purchase and
maintenance OF the various turn pike
roads within the county, | shall try
to approach the subject and discuss it
from the standpoint of business, not
sentiment, assuming that all hOnora-
BILE men are UNIV Hing to take the pri-
vate property of individuals for the
public benefit without a just compen-
sation. As the matter now stands, we
see part of the county travelling free
of toll, and the residue, nearly one
half, paying toll, while all are taxed
to the full extent o. the Law alike. No
one will say that this is equitable. A
part of the roads are owned and opera
ted by the Fiscal Court, a part opera
ted by their boards of directors as
heretofore. The amount of tax col
lected by the present assessment will
not be sufficient to pay for the roads
already bought for several years after
the repairs of the roads and the cost of
supervision is taken from the fund,
which will neeessitate the continuance
of the present unjust conditions for al
indefinite time. SIeh being the facts,
what is the duty of every v,tcr? Ger
tainly to try to remedy the wrong that
is being done to large boiy Of tax
payers. How can thai inequality be
r-medied? Ey providing the f seal
Court with fund sufficient to buy and
pay for all the roads at once. by the
sale of a sufficient number of the coun-
| tvs bonds, running twenty years at
least The bonds could be fioated at a
low rate of interest, and by levying a
small tax sufficient TO pay the interest
and create a sinking fund with which
to pay off the bonds. or any part of
them after the expiration of five years,
thus extending the time in which II e
debt can be paid. and, by the natural
increase of the taxable property of the
county, the debt could be more easily
paid from the increased revenues of
tie county. This is my view Of the
uty of the hour. A TAX PAYER
