The Gross Misuse of the hOmina'

"There is one extremely common mis-

on the use of bad language, because do
not feel safe, and ones sermon in such
case is so likely TO be ridiculous eX-
ample of the thing complained OF. But
this mistake is so gross and palpable
that anyone with an elementary
knowledge of grammar should recog-
nize it. The thing which makes it pc
culiarly sad or veXatious is the fact that
the error is often made by persons who
make some prctense of using good
English. Half or IS per cent. of the

such expressions as Between you and

still, They saw he and I uptown In

they are caught using such combina-

to feel that the conjunction and has

only one of many such evidences of his
high standing in the councils of his
party. The nomination for any office
in its gift could be had by him with
little effort on his part, for he is in
truth "a man among men," Possessed
of great wealth, he is yet close to the
hearts of the poor; with a big brain,
yet patient with those not endowed
like himself, he has a peculiar and
powerful hold upon all classes and
conditions. lie has not an enemy on

JUDGE JOHN C. CHENAULT.

The proprietor of the Gil
MAX is one of the best known
citizens of Madison County,
having served over ten
years as Judge of the County
Court, and as an attorney fig
uring prominently in many
large suits. He is a gentle
man of pleasing address, of
christian character, and with
a tact for making friends that
is so essential in every sue
cessful politician. His pub
lie career is known to all.
But in the capacity of an en-
ployer, it is our purpose brief
ly to speak. The confidence
he reposes in us, the kind
treatment and the generous
concessions we receive at his
hands, have endeared Judge
Chenault to each of us, so
that his interests are ours,
and we ask an our friends to
remember, that our zeal in be-
half of the material welfare
of this paper springs largely
from our grateful apprecia-
ton of his unremitting kind
ness to US. We, therefore,
are pleased with the condition
of the affairs of the paper,
which has acquired the largest
circulation of any in the coun-
ty, and enjoys a fine patron
age in its advertising and job
departments. To be sure we
are in full accord with the
well-known political views of
our employer, and hope to see
those principles triumph at
an early date.
To Judge Chenault's early
espousal and courageous ad-
vocacy of those principles,
we acknowledge much of the
present prestige and prosper
ity of the CLIMAX, and we
know that he has relinquished
none of his views, whilst en-
PERTAINING a charitable consid-
Grafton for those who honestly
differ from him. On behalf
of Judge Chenault and our
selves, we thank our friends
for their large patronage of
our present effort, whilst
mlngllng our gratitude to
them with our feeble and
wholly voluntary tribute of
regard for our employer.

brushes, artist and painters supplies

mond i'll the fall of 1869, a 16-year-old
boy, and 1870 established his present
business. In 1874 his entire stock of
goods, tools etc. were destroyed by fire
without one dollar of insurance to
recompence him for his loss. Nothing
daunted he again established the same
line of business. Beng practical
house and sign painter, paper hanger,
grainer and interior decorator, he con-
tinued with all his knowledge and EN-
ergy to push his business in conser-
vative way until to-day he carries as
large a stock as amy house in the state

that his business so far this year has

and cultivates the liberal arts
or the art of being liberal,
which is much the same. Like
the busy bee that bears the
pollen from flower to flower,
so he bears seed though from
man to man, and the world
fructities and is more glad
and bOuntiful for his being in
it.
He is ever a pilgrim but
never a stranger. He sings
IN the church, talks politics
on the street and plays cards
on the train. He cheers the
country merchant, educates
the cross road politician, and

less wanderer, his grip is no
less embarrassed in the check
room than heis among the chill
dren of men. He is easy and
informal in his manner, and
often engages the attention of
the waiter girls without the
eccentricity of an introduce
ton. Probably he has met
them elsewhere on his route,
and it makes him feel at his
own tireside to hear their gen
tie voices calling roast beef,
roast mutton, veal and Irish
stew. And if he is a true
knight of the grip he will apt
ly answer, Give me Irish, too.
So there is new music on the

But beneath the gay and

Oftimes a serious vein. Some
little locket holds thecounter-

or in his watch case is the
face that is much to him.
More than one dependent re-
lative may be a pensiOner on
his purse, and now and then
he takes flyer in the market
just to chance a little Christ
mas present for the fireside
folks at home. He troubles
not the world with his own af-
fairs, whether of grief or glad
ness, but bears to all about
him the spirit of romance and
knight errantry of which he
is the only representative ex-
tant. He sits at the same
board with the farmer and
paws twice as much for his
meals without a murmur, and
has no intention of starting a
new political party to right
his wrongs. Now and then
he drives across the country,
and after buying the team
presents it to his host.
He travels nights and Sun
days, spoils a dream of home
to catch a train, and worse
than a soldier campaigns in
wet and dry, hot and cold.
He eats oleO for butter, drinks
abomniable lukewarm coffee
without cream, devours eggs
that any hen ought to be
ashamed to cackle over, and
is RECALLED with spring chicken
that was beheaded in the pres
ence of her mourning grand
children.
Such in brief is his lot, and
such Is the hero of the grip.
His wives are known, but his
virtues are untold. Like the
turtle his voice is heard in the
land and he is soup for many.
