MORRIS Hero.

Sheriff Porter brought Lem Nor
ris from the Gallipolis Jail to this
place Saturday evening, on re-
QUESTION. He is the fellow who
robbed Mr.. VIM. Somerville of $18
in money, $40 gold watch, ring

clear case against him, and the

few years.

Street Talk,

That the most severe critics a
man or a woman has, are those who
try to use them and fail. Beware
of suoh.
That the Christian people did
not forget the porr, Christmas day,
and many poor little urohin was
made glad.
That there is but little humanity
in the man who will abuse children
to further his own personal ends,
Humanity stimulates care for child
ren's health and happiness.
That the people missed the Daily
Register Monday, and some com
planned because it was not issued
on Christmas day. They say they
don't like to miss copy, and would
like to have it printed on Sunday,
also.
That it is disg listing to see some
persons hanging around to claim
relationship to certain prominent
people, and then disowning their
own real relatives who may not
have so much money or be quite
80 prominent. Sensible prominent
people are not counting suoh
suckers.
That one of the worst reasons for
running a man for office is that he
needs it for a livelihood. For if
the candidate failshe is ruined, and
if elected he is ruined, unless the
office sfor life. Few Office hold
ers are ever any account either to
themselves or to the public after
their term expires.
That if our young women keep
on allowing themselves to be Gap
tured and carried away, there will
soon not be manageable girl in
Point Pleasant. But Point Pleas.
ant girls are such good girls and
make such good wives, that the
young men will capture them.
That so long as young ladies
make themselves disgusting to

headgear SO long will they be run.

The Fool 81 nIarIrletown /.

mere lies the body OF Austin Brown,
VINO lived and died in Marlkletown.
Beloved by all, It grieved us sore
To part from him forever more.
Thus reads the epitaph OF Brown,
Who lived his days ia Markletown.
The seulptured SCROLL contained no more,
Except 10 add his age-two score
And yet 'twould take ten sklIIfuI men
An age to mine the marble, then
A score of years to scribe it down,
The life and deeds of Austin Brown.
He lived among loutIsh clan,
Which looked on Brown as half man;
Who jibed his wisdom and his way
With scornful taunts from day to day.
The Ioungers in the village store,
II Brown came In, were sure to roar
with laughter coarse; and hooking Jest
They flung at him, as tito test
His patience, butcWlth a gentle smile
He bore with them, although the while
His tender heart with sorrow swelled,
And bitter tears unbidden welled,
as hooking voices called for Brown,
The fool, the Joke of Markletown.
Now on the LOFTY heights which tower
Above this town a mighty power
Reposed; a reservoir which skill
Had improvised to run the mill.
Placid and calm the water lay,
Until a deluge came one day,
And burst the walls; they crumbled down,
And threatened ruin TO the town.
Quick to the flood gate! then was heard,
But not n man among them stirred.
Each craven wretch, with chilling blood,
stood back, and feared to face the flood.
But see on yonder Jutting height,
a man appearsl A glorious slghti
He scales the walls with wonderous skill
Pulls back the bolt with mighty Will.
The flood leaps forth, the town is saved
But tile hero who 4ts anger braved
Is swept away with sullen roari
His bleeding corpse is cast ashore.
Dead, at peace, our Austin Brown,
The fool, the Joke of Markletown.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty-Five Years Constant Use With
ont n Failure.


The first indication of Group is
hoarseness, and in a child subject
to that disease it may be taken as
sure sign of the approach of an
attack. Following this hoarseness
is peculiar rough cough. If
Chamberlain Cough Remedy is
given as soon as the child becomes
hoarse, or even after the croupy
cough appears, it will prevent the
attack. 1t is used in many thous-
ands of homes in this broad land
and never disappoints the anxiouf
mothers. We have yet to learn o
single instance in whi2h 1t hEi
not proved effectual. 93 otha

Calhoun Chronicle.
"By force of habit, ministers
and editors learn to advocate that
which they bolieve is right. The
minister's soul continually bleeds
for the woes of others, and is wont
to be ever on the alert for appear
nnces of evil, that he may warn his
flock against it. The editor, like
him, is always looking for news,
and of all other men, has the great
est anxiety for the general welfare
of the community, from which he
expects his support. If the peo-
Pile in any community would have
the best service from man as q
minister or an editor, they must
give him such liberal support as
will lift him above want"
