Call a Halt.

1t is reported that there will be
steps taken again to set aside the
sale of the uncollected Claims Of
the New Farmers Bank Some
months ago they were soiu 10 the
highest bidder, Mrs A. Mitchell
being the purchase Al X, rs OF
$1,000. This sale was not confirm
ed and the special commissioned
was again required to make sale,
which he did a few weeks ago,
Mrs. Mitchell again becoming the
purchaser at So, o4o, a loss to the
depositors of S., 900 and addition
al cost. To the interest Of the
depositors who are the only ones
materially benefited, there re-
mains but one thing to do, the
confirming of this sale. The cut
ting off Of further costs and the
distributing Of whatever balance
there is with the depositors, there
by settling finally this disastrous
financial investment should be re-
quired.
If we are to judge the future by
the past, the longer financial set
Element is delayed the less will be
the per cent, going to the deposit
tors. 1t is and should be our de-
sire that those with deposits get
the most out of it, and to this end
further litigation should cease. |
The assets were properly adver-
tised and the sale was public. |
Everybody had a chance. They |
were sold in parsels and as
whole, and the highest and best
bidder got them. Let the sale be
confirmed, should be the wish of
every person interested.

Not a Beneficiary.

If the ADVOCATE is strictly
Democratic. if it is for the Demo
cratic nominees to that extent that
it will both work for and vote for
them publicly, privately, any
where, under all conditions and
circumstances, we would modestIy,
yea humbly ask for the city print
ing not part of it but all of it.
1t would not be a miss for the
Democratic administration to con,
slider our politics-whether Demo-
cratic in part are wholly-and if
found straight, loyal, without any
qualifications, to further consider
our claims. We are not a beneh-
ciary and are free from the legal
restraints as provided in the basal
municipal law, which in the latter
clause Of section 4 Of the city,
charter is as follows:
"Should any officer of said city
be directly or indirectly interested
as agent or principal in any con-
tract with said city OF as surety on
any such contract he shall thereby
vacate his office, and the contract,
if entered into before said officers
vacates his office, shall be null and
void. "
We only ask for what is due us
and will be satisfied with nothing
less.

to sell his country and his race for
his daily bread. We are the tools

A Hint.

Some time ago we remember
the city Of Mt. Sterling paid sew
eral hundred dollars for damages
caused by injurious results from a
dead-fall - a billboard without
sufficient stays to hold it. 1t was
wind that blew it down upon a
woman, doing her serious damage.
About that time all boards
were examined and securely
braced. We were reminded
of this incident by observ-
ing board that was blown down
on Saturday night on Sycamore
street by the strong Western
wind. Fortunately no one was
hurt this time. Part of the board
is on the street and the remaining
part is insecure. We call atten-
ton to this board and suggest that
all the boards in the city be ex-
amined and made safe. We don't
care to see the peoples money go
for damages when it can be
avoided.

Judge Denny, of Lexington, is
in Washington asking that the
Federal Court be held at Lexing-
ton in the event Of the passage of
the Deboe or Evans bill. Why not
Mt. Sterling? If the intent of the
bill be carried into effect it will be
Mt. Sterling. Convenience to
litigants would favor us. 1t is true
our city has no Government build
ing, but suitable place for hold
ing court could be secured until we
could build. A bill appropriate
ing $50, 900 for a public building
has been reported favorably by
the committee, its passage is the
only thing needed to begin work.
Should a court be located here, a
large amount Of money would be
saved to the Government. This
matter should be brought before
our Congressman now and if nee
essary the people of Mt. Sterling
should appoint a committee to aid
him in landing the court here and
securing the appropriation for the
building. Our enterprising Mayor
should call the citizens of Mt. !
Sterling together to consider this
natter SO vital to our business in
erests.

some deserving compliments on
our ex-County Judge and we join

O'Rear be appointed, if the meas
ure passes under the present ad-

man OF the Republican party

President P. P. Johnston is de.
cidedly the most striking person
atty in the Board of Review now
in session at the Murray Hill
Hotel. He has the polish of the
judge, the urbanity of the gentle
man, and the keen acumen Of the
cross-eXamining lawyer. His
questions cut clean through side
issues to the heart of the question,
and are always manifestly directed
to bring out the actual equity of
the case. Maj. Johnston is one of
Kentucky's prominent sons. He
is leading lawyer, an exjudge,
and so prominent member of
the Democratic party that his name
has been mentioned as a probable
candidate for the governorship.
He is breeder of both trotters
and thoroughbreds, and is presi-
dent Of the Kentucky Trotting
Horse Breeders Association.-Ex.
Mr.. Johnston will certainly be
in the swim with lhe boys for the
Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor. His work for the party,
his ability, his magnetism will
gain him formable place in the
race.
