The newspaper lie a wide field
and full of roses and thorns. When
you roast the preacher the ungodly
smile. When you roast the ungod-
" the preacher smiles. If you roast
the saloon man the teetotaler smiles.
When you roast the teetotaler the
saloon man "sets 'em up" II you
swear you are q wicked man, and
if you pray you are hypocrite. If
you have an opinion you get cussed,
and IL you don't have you are a
nonentity. The preacher knows
one thing, the saloon man or gam
bier another, but the journalist is
expected to know everything. Be
damned il you do and be damned If
you don't.
Your scribe was in Owingsville
Monday IN business. it being
County Court day. Although not
SO largely attended as upon num-
Der of prior occasions Of similar
character, there were q great many
people in town. There seemed to
be a number of good horses on the
market as we'll as several "plugs."
1t was a good day for Owingsville
merchants, those who advertised
say they enjoyed a good trade, and
many wagons and buggies laden
with goods from the merchants
were seen going out Of the
city. The day was pleasant, and
the crowd was orderly, and no row.
dyism disturbed the quietude OF
the day. A number Of horses
owners, some for better and
some for worse. Some of the noble
animals fell into the hands OF men
who will be kind and merciful unto
hem, while others became the prop
srty of men who will beat and
curse and abuse them. Poor beasts,
hey spend their lives in the ser
vice of others, toiling day after
lay in heat and in cold, and all In
he world they get for their work
8 a few ears of corn, few blades
# grass. and occasionally bucket
If water. A horses ear should
lever be greeted by an unkind
Vord. Be good to him and he will
'e good to you. Love your horse
md he will love you. Show that
'ou are a man by treating your
lorse kindly. If you want people
o think you are brute you can
10 so by beating and cursing and
nistreating your horse.

TIE departure of Queen Victoria
for the south of France gives Q
temporary relief to the people OF
Europe in regard to the threatened
clash over China. Great Britain,
however, lie making enormous in
creases in her navy and is pre-
pairing more rapidly for war than
even the United States. The clash
seems inevitable, though how Ger
many and France can unite with
Russia against Great Britain and
japan is not apparent. More prob
ably they will ny at each Others
throats when the other powers are

THERE is an evident disposition
Oh the part of Great Britain to
form some sort of an alliance with
the United States. While the SYM
pathy of this nation ought to be
with Great Britain in the question
of partitioning China, it doesn't
need any active foreign help in
dealing with Spain, and any such
assistance might cost dearly. But
the two nations could easily domi-
nate the world if they acted to-
gether in harmony.

how little of frolic it proves after

happen would be the verdict of the

F. road. The bridge was partially
destroyed. Good men are supposed
to have done it, or, at least, good
men supposed to have suggested it,
men who wear good clothes, con-
siderably better than the men Who
did it.
While there seems to be a great
desire for free roads, and to enable
me to see how bad they wanted
free roads l spent two days in in
terviewing the stockholders to see
how bad they wanted free roads, or
il they wanted them bad enough to
give their stock, as we directors
did, not feeling ourselves at liberty
to sign their stock away. Their
answers were it was theirs and
they did not intend to part with it
without compensation. In fact they
we're none the less for free roads,
but more for their stock, which is
their right and one the directors of
this road do not intend to sign
away for them. The directors feel
they have done all that could be
asked of them. They were willing
to turn the road over to the county
with quit claim deed, binding the
county to keep the roads in repair
free of tolls, all that the people,
were asking for; but to make a
general warrantee deed, throwing us
in the position to be sued for the
individual stock, which the parties
owning said stock had already
fixed to do, was just piling on a
little too heavy for the man that
would court a lawsuit, for If the
stock was worthless as some claim
we lost any way. l cannot see what
more the county could ask Of the
directors. We turn the road over
to the county, just what they were
asking for. So the contracting
parties refused to accept. The di-
rectors do not feel that such a
proposition shall continue to hold
good and propose to stand on our
rights looking to a Just public and
the strong arm Of the law for a vim.
