Returned.

Rev. A. j. Arrick of the First
Presby terian Church has been return
ed to his people, who have not ceased
to rel lice. The people of the church
es are glad and those who are without
church connections are equally as well
pleased. Mr.. Arrick is man of
work with the people. 1t is his de-
hight to have the opportunity to
preach the gospel to lost men and
this he does lovingly. He has been
with us in our rejoicings and disap-
pointments, and the same tender
message from Him who called him,
he gives to US, and no wonder the JOY
when it was known the Presbytery
had refused to send him to Ludlow.
Mr.. Arrick is identified with our peo-
Pile, and his wife, who is truly a pas
tors assistant, is no less appreciated.
We are indeed glad they are here to
stay.

YE PRINTER.
Every Day Occurrence Some
where.

CHAPTER I.--REvIsED VERSION.
And it came to pass in these days
as follows:
And there cometb unto the printer
a man from Providence Or. ID who
yearned for 500 postal cards printed,
the printer to furnish the cards and
stamp the same.
And 10, and behold, W hen the print
er saith that the expense thereof
would be 81 shekels $50 SOY he mar
veled.
And he said unto the printer, be-
hold 1 can get them for &c shekels
($4.75), and he went his way.
Then it came to pass, that the way
farlng quack doctor and soothsayer
cometh unto the printer with divers
jobs wrought in many colors, even
like unto the rainbow.
Aud peradventure, he did beguile
the printer to print by givingscssh
offerings in gold, and in silver, and in
paper, and likewise nickel and copper,
for the first job.
And as he brought forth his purse
to settle, behold, it was stuffed like
unto the whale that did Jonah swal-
low.
And ye printer smiled with exceed
ing great joy.
Now the soothsaYer beheld the
gladness of heart of We printer, and he
waxed glad, and he communed with
himself and said, l will strike him
again.
And moreover, he struck.
But when he got the second, third,
yea, and even the fourth job, he pay
eth not, but skippeth like unto ye flea
or hopper-grass.
And no man knoweth unto this daV
whereof he aligbteth.
Now there was a certain wise man
by the name of William, whose sur
name was McCullagh.
And the printer sought him out and
they communed, one with the other.
And McCullagh spake unto the
printer, saying, albeit that he has fed
into the land of the boodlers, which
is many leagues north of Harlem, or
maybe he be lost in Brooklyn.
And the printer waxed wroth and
murmured evil sayings. Muttering
the while "Lost in Brooklyn ; lost to
the world" and dire confusion pre-
vailed in all the land.-Selah.

Black Diamond-It is Coming.

SA"SN ~A0AAVAN ~ AS NVAAAoH'
On last Thursday evening the bust
ness men of Carlisle were called to-
gether to consider the Black Diamond
Railroad proposition submitted to
the people of Nicholas. The meeting
was an enthusiastic one. The SUBJ
scription started of with spirit and
no doubt is entertained regarding the
raising of the amount necessary. AT
Sharpsburg another meeting was held
equally as enthusiastic and the good
people of Bath will raise the amount
asked of them with little trouble.
What Montgomery county will do
is the next question. Sure we can
not afford to miss it and we certainly
will unless the people subscribe the
small amount asked for. Every indi-
cation is that theFoad will be speedily
and there is not an intelli-
gent man in the county who swoGld
say that we could afford to allow it to
go around us. Our people will be
given an opportunity this week, and
unless all indications fail, the road
will be built and come this way if our
people will do their part.

a Letter to One Of Our Business
Men.


DEAR SIR: Through Mr.. j. 4. ST.
mon, OF Cynthiana learned that you
we're located in Mt. Sterling and con-
cluded to write you in regard to
the proposed Black Diamond railroad
which lie surveyed through our place
to Savoy, Ind, thence to Indianapolis.
The survey is completed on the
branch road to Dover, Ky, and is
being made to Columbus, Ohio. The
engineering corps starts from Cynthi-
ana to-day via your town and
through your county to Jellico, Tenn,
and urge your people to do all they
can to obtain it for rest assured it will
he built Whether through Mt. Ster-
ling or not il will go and if you wan,
IL through the town try to do what
Col. Boone asks. AT all events do
nothing to offend him or he will 60
around you If there Is good way.
There is nothing to prevent the road
being built when the franchise is COM
pleted and the gap from here is about
all there is to do now. The plan
when underttoo is simple aud bust
ness like, as you will discover when
you investigate it. One of our promi-
nent citizens opposed the road with all
his might and had his wife write to
friend and relative in GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, to learn of Col. Boone. He told
me she had written and he would tell
me when he heard from him.
The reply was: "He is all right.
He builds railroads and does just
what he promises" This is his char
actsr, learn of it from what source you
may. Now take your map of the
United States and trace the proposed
rout and then see If you can in the
world find another place for road
equal to it in quantity, quality or vari-
ETY. of freight, grain, stock, Goa, mar
BILE, cotton, etc. The possibilities of
the road will stagger the strongest
man almost when he realizes that 1t
runs from the heart of the best agrl-
cultural and stock country in the
world, through Jellico mines, through
Knoxville marble quarries, etc, on to
the sea, supplying coal and making
the greatest Coaling station in the
world of Port Royal. But enough OF
this. l am on the inside and know
what / am talking about and hope
you people may act quickly and wise
ly secure the greatest road almost
in this or any other country. l don't
want you to miss it. Investigate
thoroughly, and let me hear from
you. Yours Truly,
A. CONNER M. d.
