Fine Mint Crop.

In the rear yard of the Court House
in this city is one of the finest crops
of mint that ere the sun shOne on.
About twenty-five years ago each of
the various officers at the building
kept a jug Of fine liquor at hand. 1t
was "the thing" in those days, even
in the private home, to bring out the
demijohn, and nothing was thought
of it. AS stated above, the Court
House officials were no exceptions t.
the rule, and, in order to make things
complete, this bed of mint was plant
ed. Not only the officials, but many
citizens took great pains in seeing the
mir well looked after. Their careful
attention was rewarded, as the roots
are thickly set now, and the fragrance
of the weed causes the mouth of ma
ny a sanctimOniOus old cuss to "wa

Sunday Only.

The bible says Sunday was set apart
as day of rest. That's very true,
but the 1899 Sabbath is used by some
people principally as a day to be re-
hgiOus. The lOng-tail coat, the jack
ass-in-a-grave-yard look are only ex-
hibitedOn Sunday, and the hypOcrite
lays them aside at 10 O'Clock Sunday
night to be used no more until the
following Sunday. One Of Sam Jones
subjects is Sunday Only Religion
and in it Samuel has food for much
talk. 1t is disgusting to see SO many
men pretend to be religious on Sunday
and then be as mean as the very devil
the next six days.

Capt. Mcfarland Retired,

Capt. Mcfarland, of the 10th U. S.
Infantry, has, upon his own request
been placed upon the retired list. He
has been in the service thirty years.
The wounds received at the famous
charge up SanJaun Hill have caused
him much trouble and his physician
advised him to retire and enjoy we'll
earned rest. The part he took in the
San Juan fight has been highly COM
plimented by the War Department
and the daily press that published ac-
counts of the fight.

Notice to Trustees.

Under instructions from the State
Superintendent two Trustees were
elected in each School District in
Garrard County last October; the one
receiving the greatest number of votes
to qualify as the regular trustees on
July 1 1899, and the one receiving
next to the greatest number. to quail
ify at once to fill vacancy supposed
to be then existing. Since that cleo
ton the Court Of Appeals has decided
that there was no vacancy at that
time, but that the old Trustees hold
over one year longer. Hence, the man
receiving next to the greatest vote
qualified through mistake and was, in
reality. never a Trustee. Therefore,
the one who received the GREATEST
NUMBER OF VOTES at the October
election will be recognized by me as
the legal Trustee for the ensuing term
and he will accordingly qualify some
!, time during the month of June.
