The May Go INVENTION.

The editor of this paper finds
himself, for the first time we be-
lieve, on the opposite side of the
fence from majority of his friends.
so far as we have ascertained. on
the May convention.
We are, as we have said hereto
fore, in favor of electing Senators
by the people, as we see it now.
We are opposed, however. to the
May convention. We believe if
was gotten up in opposition to
Senator Martin. We believe if
will result in harm to the Demo-
cratic party in the State. We don't
believe in DISCUSSES. This con-
ventlon was gotten up in the
wrong way, and from the wrong
source. We are for the people
We are against the convention.

4 Word With Our Readers.

This issue of the News completes
the second year of the present
Editors connection with the paper
1t will no doubt be gratifying to
the patrons of the paper, as it is to
the Editor, to know that the paper
is in fairly prosperous condition.
Taking charge of the paper, as we
did, under not the most favorable
circumstances, we have by dint of
hard work and strict economy, man.
aged to pay our bills, and keep the
Sheriff from the door. The paper
has more than doubled its sub
scription list, and we do not hest
tate to say that we have, we believe,
as substantial and reliable a sub
scription list as any local paper,
anywhere. OF course, with more
money (and brains) we could have
made better paper, and we wish
here to acknowledge our indebted
ness to our many friends, through
whose sympathy and support we
have accomplished what we have.
One practical word: 1t is not con-
sidered good taste or good policy to
dun your subscribers through the
paper. We will only say, that
many of our subscribers have not
paid us for these two years work,
and we feel sure they will do so as
soon as their attention is called TO
It.
We hope, with your help, to send
out a better paper this next year.
We are making some changes
which we think will be for the good
of the paper. We ask Your coopera.

The Issues IN 1900.

That the currency question will
be an important issue in the next
Presidential campaign is settled
beyond peradventure. The Repub-
licans are forcing this issue upon the
country, and their next National
convention will declare unequivo
cally for gold standard, pure and
simple.
The Democrats cannot ignore the
issue, even though they might de-
sire so to do. Imperialism, Mill
tarism, and other questions growing
out of the war, will also be issues.
and undoubtedly the trusts com.
bines and monopolies will occupy
prominent place in the platform
OF the next National Democratic
convention, and rightly, too.
1t matters not what financial
policy the Nation may adopt, so
long as gigantic trusts, the parent
of all the evils, are permitted to
exist and multiply and grow. They
are prepared and preparing to con-
troll all-everything. Nearly sew
enty-five large trrsts have beer
formed since January 1. OF the
seventy D:illions inhabitants
of the United States, sixty million
OF them are virtually slaves. One
of the chief battle cries of 1900
should and will be, "dOwn W it'll the

There will not be many of our
produce men going South this year
with potatoes. Peter Bontz will
go as will also w. w. Hayman.
It's dry year that will keep these
men of push from scraping up the
products of our farmers and getting
few boat loads at least off for the
lower markets. OF the fruits of
the farm that are shipped South,
perhaps there is less of cabbage,
from this county than any other.
1t is not largely cultivated with us
but what was put out, is better this
year than ordinarily. Meigs coun.
ty, Ohio, and jackson, in this State,
raise much of it. What potatoes
our produce men lack in making

lesion. Young Mr., Watts was a
First Lieutenant in the First w.

welded one Miss Nellie Scott, OF
sixteen summers. They separated
and the young woman sues for a
divorce, charging Gen, Watts with
having exercised undue influence
over his son, and paying sum OF
money to leave her. The trial
will be interesting.

George Brown Committed to
the Asylum.
An examining trial was held
Tuesday before Arthur Edwards,
the Honorable Justice of the Peace
of this District, to inquire into the
matter of an insanity charge
lodged against George Brown, of
Apple Grove, this county.
Mr.. Brown has been in Jail for
some several days upon a charge
of misdemeanor, having struck his
wife with lamp. inAicting serious
personal injuries upon her person.
DIR. Hereford was up from down
there and there were other physi-
CLANS of our oity, who were sworn
in the case. After thorough test
by the physicians present, it was
decided and so held, that he is
suffering from temporary insanity
and he was committed to the Hos
pital for the Insane at Spencer.
He will temporarily remain in Jail
until he can be sent for by hospital
authorities He is a son-in-law of
Sheriff Porter and a son of the
late Gideon Brown. He comes OF
a good family, and his wife is one
of the most estimable women in
the world, which makes the cir.
cumstanoe all the more sad and
lamentable. We hope for his
speedy recovery.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In regard to mat
ter of selecting a sight and putting

for one citizen, wish to enter my
protest against the erecting of any
more monuments in the court
house yard. One monument there
is enough and with that great high
cemetery fence now thrown around
the yard, the putting of any more
monuments there, would give it en-
tirely too much the appearance of
grave yard. Put up your tablets,
and if the Lewis funds can be got.
