Rather than have our government

This account of a budding genius is
taken from the Mount Sterling (Ky)
el-Democrat: Near the poor
house farm for some time the people
have been on the lookout for 4 large
snake which had been crossing the road
and making n bed the size of child's
body. One day lately it was seen max
ing its way across the road. and it
proved to be a small boy crawling on his
all fours. He did not want to work, and
would make the track toward the corn
fed in which he and his father were
working, and would go and hunt the
snake for ha.f day at n time. This is
a bright young man, and ought to be
given chrome"

Miss Cora Legore, a domestic en-

weTl-known farmer residing near that

milk the COWS as was her customary
duty. She did not return as promptly
as usual and. becoming uneasy after
time. Mrs. Yingling sent some one to
lying in dead faint in COW stall, and
upon being revived appeared dazed and
frightened. Finally she became sutli

her unconsciousness. She said that
while milking she felt something mov-

was cat, unit. she felt Il construction
about her waist. and found herself look

wrapped itself about her, and reared
its head in front Of her face. She was
too much frightened to notice what
sort of a serpent was thus confronting
her, but, striking at it with her hand,
tainted away. When she was found the
snake had disappeared.

The Price, of Cattle.

The average price of cattle on the
farm was $1G.65 per head on January
l, 1897, just before President McKin-
ley was inaugurated. At the beginning
of this year cattle were worth $25 per
head on the farm. The increase in the
last three years has been 50 per cent.
THESE figures are from the reports OF
the department of agriculture. and
may be accepted as ABSOLUTELY reliable.

"r Frasine. an answer to

vengeance on a brewery. Capitalists
recently erected large brewery in
tfsev. Mr.. Dixon's parish. 1t caused
imuch comment, reports the Philadei-
phia Times, and was made the subject
of vehement prayer from the minis
ter, in which he called upon Goo TO
strike with lightning the new brewery
being erected in that place. Shortly
after, during a violent storm, lightning
struck the brewery, partially wrecking
1t, and knocking from ladder two
sons of another Methodist minister
who were at work on the building. No
one was killed and the brewery was not
burned. but the prayer created so much
comment that the capitalists, who are
prominent in social circles, decided
that they were engaged in legitimate
calling, and should not be made the
target of pulpit imprecations, as it in
jured the social standing of themselves
and families. Lawyers who have looked
up the case say the men have a first
class cause of action. and it is stated
the case will be fought to finish. Rev.
Mr.. Dixon claims he cannot be held re-
sponsible for an act of Providence,
which brought the subjects into unen-
viab.e notoriety, and the question
promises to be one of the most novel
ever tried in Pennsylvania court.

WHEN Nashville gets its e w rail
road, the next thing for the pc ople oil
that city to do Is to establish a daily
newspaper friendly to the interests
of the people. Both of Nashville's
daily papers are corporation papers
They not only belong, body, soul and
brains to the l.. & N. and n. e. c.
Railroad Companies, but they favor
corporations generally and the peo
pie never. And besides, they are
not newspapers. They don't give
the news. The recent railroad cleo
tion-the most interesting and i'm
portant event Nashville has had
since the Centennial-they did their
best to ignore. They wouldn't tell
the people what was being done
they wouldn't discuss it themselves
and wouldn't allow it to be dis
cussed through their columns in

interests of the people actually de-

run in the interest of Nashville any
more than the l.. & N. Railroad is
run in the interest of Nashville. No
city in the Union has been or is be-
ing worse bled by railroad, tele-
phone, telegraph and other corpora
tions, than Nashville; and these
papers are run by and for and in the
interest of these and other cor
porations. 1t does not require
tnY argument to prove that every
city, large or small, needs at least
one daily paper, honestly and sin
cerely devoted to the best interest
of the people of that city. Neither
does 1t require any argument tC
prove to the readers of the American
and Banner that they are run in the
interest Of the classes and not the
masses. 1t follows, therefore. thai
Nashville needs, almost as badly al
it does another railroad, free, un.

of that city to raise purse
