ALWAYS DO YOUR WORST

Do your best TO keep capital out Of
the country; if you can't make any
money yourself. you can at least try to
keep others from doing so, and it will
make you feel good.
II you can ever say word to hurt
your neighbor, do it by all means. II
might keep him from earning a few
dollars to support his family on.
II you know of a man who has ever
done anything wrong in his life, do not
forget to mention it frequently. People
might forget it.
You should join some church it will
be cloak for your hypocrisy, and give
you better opportunity to scandalize
your neighbors.
You should always be the first to
report any scandal that occurs in your
town or neighborhood, and don't for
get to tell it as something you heard,
SO that in case there should be any
trouble about the report you could
easily put it on some one else. and the
injured parties would never know that
you were the father of the lie.
Don't subscribe for your local paper,
but be sure to be the first to find
fault with it.
You should call your wife pet names
while in company, and beat the devil
out OF her in private.
Always pretend to be something you
are not, and you will fool the whole
world and make the people despise you
as the dirtiest. filthiest, gangrenescent
piece Of deception in the shape OF a
human being on the face of the earth.

CHEAP POWER PROJECT.

The project TO secure cheap electri-
cal power for operating the Comstock
mines is assuming definite shape, and
a company will soon be organized for
that purpose that will have the back
ing OF very wealthy people. The Vir-
ginia Report says in this connection /:
In these days of cheap power discus
sion IL is in order to enumerate the
different sources of supply. Accord
ingly q Report man interviewed several
parties. Two points were named in
addition to those already indicated,
the east and west forks OF the Carson
river. In the west fork, in Hope
valley, fall Of about 400 feet could
be secured in q distance of about four
miles. AS the installation Of a plant
at either of these points would entail
no enormous expenditure, the field
offered for investigation is extensive.
The east fork presents some advsn-
tages over the west fork in that there
are no existing rights to be disturbed.
Were plant to be installed on the
east fork the discharge water would be
returned to the river above any irriga-
ting bitches. The two streams are
about forty-five miles from this city.
Should power line be extended from
these points to the Comstock, power
could be left off at Carson and at other
points that we're contemplated in the
Lake Tahoe tunnel proposition.

A sale Of $50, 900 pounds OF wool was
made at Reno on Tuesday OF last week
at eleven cents.
According to the Drovers' Journal,
some of the big cattle companies that
went out OF business are stocking up
again. The range cattle business is
too good thing to quit where people
understand it and are fixed for it.
A good many new men are going
into the sheep business, says the Dem
yer Field and Farm, and are buying
ranches all over the country. They
figure that sheep will pay 20 per cent
annually. while cattle can not assure
more than 10 percent at best for
period of years. Besides the sheep
industry returns quicker money and
there is not so much loss by rustling.
Ii is the common kinds OF cattle that
are going to sell lower. The we'll bred
cattle are holding their own and are
inclined to go higher. Stockmen are
noticing this, and this is the reason
that SO many thoroughbred bulls and
heifers are going to the ranges this
Spring, and it is also why the new
bull law is so generally approved. The
man who insists on struggling along
with common cattle when il is just as
cheap to raise thoroughbreds, and they
are worth so much more in the market,
deserves TO get left.

A Twenty Dollar Gold Piece.

The Mining and Scientific Press
gives further answer to a question
which should require no answer, but
is often raised. 1t says:
A twenty-dollar gold piece weighs
SIC grains and contains 464.4 grains
fine gold. There is twenty dollars worth
OF "pure gold" in twenty-dollar gold
piece; the 5l.6 grains of alloy therein
is to give the coin hardness and dura-
bilisy. Whether in the shape of a
coin or a melted nugget. the twenty
dollar gold piece, as it comes from the
United States mint, is worth exactly
twenty dollars in gold.

Der OF letters carried in the U. S. mails
makes it certain that the rate OF post
age must eventually be reduced to one

no higher than the esteem in which

The Democratic preachers are
coming to the front. Baptists are
giving the people to understand
that as Democrats they cannot
support a Republican or Mr..
Brown, for to vote for Mr.. Brown
is to aid Mr., Taylor.
Then comes Mr.. Arnold, aged
u years, for more than forty years
a minister. His statement in this
issue should be read by every vo-
ter.
Again, Rev. Mann an eminent
preacher of the Methodist church
is reported as saying two-thirds of
the ministers of the Kentucky Con-
ference will support the Demo
cratic ticket. The Southern Pres
byterians will likewise vote their
political sentiments. The preach
ers are coming our way and it will
be found that those Of the pew will

daughter of Hon. Kenaz Farrow, who
died June 1894. Was elected to Lower
House of the Legislature in 1915 by the
Democrats. In 1916 both political parties
demanded hisl return to the Legislature
but for private reasons he declined and
resumed the practice of law. In IS4S he
was appointed Circuit Clerk of this
county which he held until 1851. III
1855 he was nominated Clerk of the Low
er House of the Legislature. In 1860 was
elected Judge of the Court of Appeals and
served sixteen years. Often he had been
solicited to make the race for Governor
but always declined. After 1873 he re-
sumed the practice of law, which he fol-
lowed uninterruptedly until 1895, at the
age of 90 years he gave up his parctice.
One of the most remarkable instances
i'll his entire practice was his first case at
the bar, was for the Mcgowan family
and his last was for the same family,
generations removed. In 1896, as Dem
ocrat, firm III the doctrins of the two
metals as our money basis, and an adj
mirer of w. Jennings Bryan, he made a
public speech in interest of the Democ-
racy. He has always been a lover of
fine horses, and best shorthorne and
Jersey cattle, and at one time was author
ity on pedigrees. He has lived where he
died siXty-one years. Was member of
the Christian Church sixiy-nine years,
having united with the Church at Sharps-
burg.

TOO BAD.

Theodore F. Hallam and Hon.
! M. S. Tyler went to Louisa, and,
according to report, things were
rather frosty. 1t was no fault OF
the Brown speakers however;
neither was it the fault Of the citi-
zens. The Brown men did their
best, there were only few Of
them and they were all there ex-
cept those who were "boditorially
unwell. y The gentleman who in
PRODUCED Mr.. Hallam, as the story
goes, did it in a very understand
ing manner, He told who Mr..
Hal!am was, gave his business. and
further said he had nothing to do
with (which indicated that the
introducer was ashamed Of Hal
lam's business.
Well, it is said there was about
fifty-two present, counting all
kinds, and Mr.. Hallam thought the
"crowd too small for speech and
too large for an anecdote."
Mr.. Hallam attended to the au-
dience and since it appeared UNI
necessary for another speech Mr..
Tyler kept his bottled, that it
might save its efevessing proper
ties, retain its gases thereby pre-
venting staleness. AS it was in Lou
lisa SO it is in the entire mountain
section; there are hardly Brownies
enough for quorum.
The opposition to Democracy
will not find this out until after
November election when it has

the entire ticket has been elected

Il believe that if Kentucky goes
Republican this year, none of US
will live long enough to see it re-

have in the State lies in the divis-
ion Of the Democratic vote.
