The Railroad.

EDITOR RECORD-HOw many citi-
zenS of the county OF Garrard have
considered the Importance Of another
railroad and the benefits they would
derive from it? For example, let's
look at the wheat we raise. With an
other railroad, like the proposed one,
it would open the market South, and
the rates would enable you to get from
three to five cents per bushel more for
your wheat than dealers can afford to
pay now. The value of your cattle,
hogs, sheep, all kinds of grain, hemp,
etc., as well as your farming lands,
will be enhanced i'm value very mate
rally on account of the facilities for
delivering your products. The item
of coal, in which we are all more or
less interested, We could save two or
three cents per bushcl on every bCshel
and numerous other articles could be
bought at much less price than now.
From calculations ON the above, should
we get this road would result in bene-
fits from same to the farmers and cit-
liens of the county OF over $1,000
each year. Every farmer in the coun-
ty should be especially interested in
procuring the right-Of-way for this
road and render all the assistance he
possibly can. Talk for it and work
for it; it will be money in your pOck-
cts. Let us not miss such a favorable
opportunity as the present one to liz
crease the value OF our land and the
price of our products. PROGRESS.

LAKE CRAUTAUQUA, N. ".
DEAR EDITOR AND FRIENDS:

DEAR EDITOR AND FRIENDS:
We had dreamed of Chau-
tauoua many times, but the real
ChautauQua. as it burst upon us some
DAYS ago. was a revelation. Twenty
wears ago the region about Lake Chau-
tauoua was little known. At tilat
time a site was selected on the Lake
where camp meetings were held regu-
,arly every year in August. These
who have read "Four Girls at Ciiau-
tauaua" can realize how these HttIe
meetings grew and how thoroughly
they MET a great need. In those plo-
neer DAYS Indians were still lurking
about the vicinity. and many French
evangelist travelled through the VIII
derness with pistol in one pocket ana
Testament in the other. The Erehch
Presbyterians were the first to awaK-
en- religious interest among the ma
fiyes. A little later came the Metho-
dists. Strange to say they were look
ed upon 10y the Presbyterian workers
with holy horror, and were regarded
not as helpers but as intruders, lcono-
clasts. A story is told to illustrate
this:
Mrs. McC0rd, looking from her
kitchen one day, noticed that the
COWS were wildly racing across the
field with heads and tails tossing ang-
rily in the air. She called her nus
bands attention to it, and he, notlc-
ing that they were fleeing from the
forest. said impressiyely, Jennie, It's
them Methodists. They're holding
camp meeting i'm the woods" Since
then. the Methodists have proved
their title right royalty, and Bishop
Vincent is now, as in the beginning,
the great spirit Of Chautauqua.
The size of the assembly grounds
NAV be indicated by the fact that
there are over five hundred cottages
and public buildings, parks, tennis
courts. and an immense amphithea-
tire. seating 10000 people. The Col
lege of Liberal Arts opens its doors
this week, to large number OF STU
dents of all ages. The little tive-yeal-
old tot talks sagely of taking Mature
Study" and having time also for GYM
nasium. while the gray-haired renew
their youth by the sensation OF being
once more in college. Many a luck
less youth. who has failed in some
college study, drifts into this parlor OF
peace to "make up the failure and
meanwhile enjoys base ball, golf, ten
mis-. boating and swimming.
For those who are not studying, the
public lectures, the daily devotional
hour, the Epworth league and Chris
tian Endeayor meetings, Missionary
conference. afternoon concerts, eve
ming entertainments, and even the
rehersals of the great choir tempt
and tantalize the alert person until
he wishes he had as many heads as
the Centipede has feet, in order TO
store away all the good things. Beau
tiful ChantauQua, the Mecca of thou
sands: what wonder that Moth
er Chautauqaa," as she is Familiarity
called. has a constantly increasing
family? 1t is estimated that last year
more than fifty thousand people were
I'm attendance and the indications
point to a greater increase this year.
Picturesque i'm location, cosmopolitan
I'm spirit. Chautauqua is the ideal sum-
mer resort With best wishes,

The Country Newspaper.

The country newspaper is an i'm
portant agency in the cultivation OF
public spirit. and however humble it
NAV seem beside the metropolitan
daily i, has place in popular edu-
cation. There are many persons in
the home towns and most Of the
suburban ones-cIergymen, lawyers,
teachers and others-who have the
leisure and ability to use the paper
az vehicle Of influence over their
fellow-citizens. The country news
paper is usually local in its news, and
the very people who might make it
fresh and suggestive are those who
complain most loudly Of its meager
character. Short articles pertaining
to local interests are always vel
coined in its columns, and the men
and women who most desire I'd make
home life in the country rich and .n-
fuential can best do 50 by contribat-
ing freely to its columns OF what they
have in mind. In some places this
has been done and the result in the
uuickened life Of the community has
been gratifying.-Boston Herald.

Telephones In The Country.

The telephone is great conven-
ience. aye, necessity-in town or
country. And the more it is used the
more it's value and Importance is
realized. Commenting on the intro
duction of the telephone in rural dis
tricts in the West and elsewhere. the
Baltimore Sun says:
The telephone in the farmhouse shortly
became necessity and not a luxury.
The people could enquire whether there
were letters at the postoffice before send
ing for them. The condition Of the
markets can be ascertained and orders
received and given. The family doctor
can be summoned and the lady in one
house can discuss the trimmings for the
Easter bonnet with her neighbor mila
or two away. II the roads are bad the
young man can call up his hearts choice
and make love over the wires with the
greatest comfort and decorum. Many
OF the disadvantages and objections to
country life are thus removed, and the
wonder il that there is not q telephone
exchange in every rural community.

Creeiman and His Mule.
ashington POst.)

We learn with panied surprise
that James Creelman, the special war
correspondent to the New Your Jour-
nal in the Philippines, was wounded
last week in desperate engagement
before Manila. The news panied us
because we have become to feel that
any disaster occurring to Creelman
must necessarily threaten the United
States Army in general. 1tsurprised
us because we could not imagine that
the man who led our men up San
Juan Heights-led them by several
hundred feet-captnred the block
house single-handed, received the
surrender of the trapped and i'm
potent Spaniards, and then informed
the troops that they might approach
with safetv-it surprised us, we say
to hear that such man had been
hurt by mere horse.
As we understand the tragedy.
Creelman was not actually wounded
in battle, though, Of course, as
usual, he was plunging madly into
the awful vortex Of the battle, far in
front Of the fighting line. Just as he
did at San Juan, he was doing at
Del Monte-or wa. it Bagbag-that is
to say, charging ahead of the army
with a view to their protection and
encouragement. No bullet pierced
his heaving midriff. No she'll e1-
ploded in his raging hair. He passed
through that deadly hail unscathed
"a creature Of heroic mold, as born
| to rule the storm. 1t was by his
steed. not by the fury of the bastard
foe, that Creelman was undone. Just
how it happened we do not rightly
know. The narrowing details have
not as yet transpired. 1t may be
that Creelman's foaming barb STUN
bled over a Filipino battery and
threw his rider against a caisson.
Perhaps the irreverent beast bucked
Crselman into a thickct, and then
! fled snorting with the terror his rash
act had ins spired. 1t is even possible
that Creelman' mount was only \
mule or native pony, and that the
| latter went SO far as to kick the pride
and bulwark Of the United States
| Army in some sensitive and tender
spot, and left him there to wallow in
his pangs. But however that may
| be. James Creeiman, the only real
hero of San Juan. the most powerful
force in our military operations, the
| intimate friend Of crowned heads all

prodigious as he is shrinking-James
Creelman has been thrown down by
some Iong-eared quadruped or other,
and now lies prone upon bed OF
pain
Alas. war is not all glory, and an
army with banners knows its own
sorrow on occasion. We may thrill
to the bulletins OF victory, and hear,
in our Imagination, the noise Of the
Captains and the shouting But

1t cannot be doubted for a single
moment that y good newspaper is the
best advertising medium. As De
Tocqueville tersely wrote: "A news
paper can drop the same thought into
thousand minds at the same mo-
ment." Signs painted on rocks and
fences; fancy Wagons and balloons,
and circulars and pamphlets can
never do the work of a popular journal
Of large circulation.
Henry Ward Beecher once said: "A
newspaper is window through which
men look out on all that is going on
in the world. Without q newspaper,
n man is shut up in q small room,
and knows little or nothing Of what is
happening outside of himself. A
good newspaper will keep man in
sympathy with the worlds current
history. 1t is an ever-unfolding
encyclopedia; an unbound book for
ever issuing and never finished"
