Hazel GREEN.

The sick Of our town are all convs-
lescing.
Most Of our fruit, except apples,
was destroyed during the last cold
snap, and there are but few tobacco
plants living.
The extension os the railroad from
Jackson e. the Caney coal fields OF
Morgan county, where an eastern
company owns 5000 acres of the finest
camel coal in the world, is now re-
garded as certainty. The road has
been permanently located and the
right of way secured except about two
miles. 1t runs within five miles OF
onr town and passes through a tim
bered region on Frozen and Red
river that is unequaled by any in
Kentucky.
The Hazel Green Academy, one OF
the best institution of learning in the
State, is in more prosperous condi-
ton than at any time during its his
tory. Mr.. w. III. Cord, the princi
pal, is one of the best educators in the
State, aud is the right man in the
right place. He keeps the dOrmitory,
where stu1ents can be accommodated
with board at $500 per week, and the
fare and accommodations are first
class in every particular. He is also
pastor of our Christian church, where
only few weeks since he closed one
of the most successful revivals in the
history of the church.
We are glad to learn that W. o.
Mize, the we'll known capitalist OF our
town, will not occupy his residence
on the corner of Main and Queen
streets of your city, and the house is
:, rented. But this should be a
matter OF regret upon the part of the
citizens of your town, as he as well
as his estimable wife are great work.

msm beFs, and they would have been
quite an acquisition to your PoPulas
lion. n
The people here wIuld like to know
what kind of laws and ordinances
you have in operation in your town.
1t is reported here that Mr.. Mize, pre-
paratory to making valuable improve
ments to his dwelling house in your
town, and upon which he has ex-
pended several hundred dollars, found
it necessary to remove little old di-
lapidated wood house from near the
street in front of the house to the rear

house upon my own land, especially
when by 80 doing it adds 30 much to
the attractiveness and general APP
pearance Of that part of the town, be-
sides adding much TO the value of all
the adjacent property, what could
expect, should 1 become citizen OF
the town? 1 shall therefore remain
at Hazel Green" Will you please
inform your readers if this report is
true? Many of our citizens do not
believe it. IF true, it seems that the
law ought to be changed so that your
city officials, in the discharge of their
duties, could execute the laws in such
manner consistent with their Oaths
as to invite capitalists to your town,
instead OF driving them away, as has
been done in many instances hereto
fore.

GORDON AND poLYGAMY.
No Conversion of Africa Possible II Mo
nogamy Is Required.

h'hhhhg 10 A'IhhhN's
A particularly interesting rominisccnce
Of General Gordon was given recently at
the Shoreditch town hall by the archbishop
of Canterbury, who presided over II meet
ing convened in the interest Of the uni
versitics mission to central Africa. Very
shortly before starting for Khartum, in
1884, Gordon came to DIR. Temple TO con
suit him on three problcms, the first Of
which was whether as "A mere laymun he
would be justified in e~ndeavoring to con
vert the natives and even to baptize them.
To that the archbishop answered certainly
every Christian was at liberty alike TO
preach and to baptizo.
Gordon then ~propounded a plan he had
for buying slaves a thousand at u time,
drilling them thoroughly, and perhaps
making 10 per cent good soldiers, giving
freedom ultimately to all, and asked
whether slave buying could ever be justi-
fable. Again the archbishop could reas-
sure his scruplos and point out that if
purchased with n Wow TO giving them lib
erty the act would he compatible with the
highest Christianity. The ultimate diff
Guilty, however, was polygamy, Gordon
explaining that a man had rarely less thar
four wives, as this number sufliced to
maintain him, and asking whether Chris
tian tcnets could possibly sanction IA limit
cd plurality of wives. But on this DR..
Tomplc admitted he could give no justify
ing permission whatever, and to establish
Il pseudo religion without SO elementary u
principle Of morality would be highly rep
rehcnsihlc. "Thcn, - said Gordon, africa
is "a long way from conversion If one wife
is made an essential O! it. "-LNldon Tele-
