ON 4 REFORM.
Jonesboro's Gambling Houses, Etc i,
 Raided by the Police.

From a passenger who recently reached this city from Jonesboro we learn of an unusual occurrence that happened in that city last week.
 The new city officials are purely pious and they are determined to make the town likewise. They re gently gave notice for all the gambl- ing houses stationed in that town to close their doors and cease business. This was received lightly by the proprietors of some and they did not comply with the printed notice.
 The officials were backed by the preachers and the choirs and they issued another notice, which brought the same result as the first.
 The officials enlarged their police force and made raid on all the gambling houses in town and burned the contents. They then searched for the propretors of all the blind tiger joints ard arrested all who came into their path.
 After the main object had been completed, they formed a Teddy Roosevelt committee and X-raved all the police. Several defects were tound and two preachers were made to fill the vacancies.
 Jonesboro IS now a perfectly nor al city and sinceathe reverend "cops" perambulate the thoroughtares all lodge meetings have been postpon- ed indefinitely and all the mascuIines of that town arein contest as to who is the best dishwasher, while their better halfs are preparing the next city election ticket.

The speaial illustrated edition of the Greensboro (Ky Inquirer was on light, hard finished book paper. The illustrations were halftones and portrayed the buildings, leading industries, and prominent business men, in very complete and tasteful manner. The arrangement and mechanical execution as we'll as the matter for the purposes intended, were of high grade of excellence. There were sixteen pages, SIX col amns to the page, and every dweller in the city must have felt a new dignity and new pride in the city after reading the paper. Local city pride, with an accompanying desire for further improvements and worthy attainments, are of untold value in a live, local paper and will ever repay frequent cultivation.- National Printer-]ournalist.
