Returning from a pleasant trip
to Bourbon county the writer
reached home at o'clock on Sat-
urday afternoon. Monday is press
day. BY 1880 at night our press
stopped, and the weekly issue of
nearly 1900 copies of the Mt.
STERLING ADVOCATE was practical
ly finished and much of it deliver
ed at the Post Office, ready for the
early tarins on the G. q o. and X.

On Tuesday afternoon at
4:47 the train stopped at Torrent,
and as the writer stepped off he
received a greeting from sister,
niece and father-Misses Ella
Trimble, Mary Tibbs and j. G.
Trimble.
The man who has no music in
his soul-whose heart is not touch
ed by the concord of sweetest
sounds is fit for treason, strategy
and spoils and deserves not to be
classed among men. This may be
strongly put. but, the thought is
suggested as the sweet strains of
skillful musicians impress visitors
as they enter spacious and CHEEKY
verandahs and halls at L Park
Hotel.
Whether in quest of business or
pleasure, there comes a sense of
relief, pleasing and joyous emo
tion : a disposition to "trip the
light fantastic toe' or something
of that kind, or perhaps, a serious,
thoughtful frame of mind which
lifts one heavenward as the visitor
realizes that he is once more favor
ed by being at Torrent.
After supper we three went to
the Chalybeate Spring about one
mile away.
On Wednesday morning the
writer and w. L. Colvin, salesman
for Trimble Bros, were called for
five o'clock breakfast. At 6 o'clock
we were at Rosewood Junction

OBSERVATIONS
ON A TRIP TO BOURBON COUNTY.

West of Little Rock, mile, we saw
an attractive farm aud home, and
wished to know who lived there.
When we reached the gate we knew,
for there was his name, "B. F. Hop
kinsv Seldom we see on the gates
the names of the owner. We suggest
to all farmers that they put their
names on the road gates unless you
are farmer who lets things go loose,
gates broken, fence down, moving
machines exposed to snow and rain,
farming utensils hanging on trees
and subscription for your paper not
paid.
We had not seen cur friend Lewis
Rogers for a long time, so we drove
into his spacious yard where work
men were cutting down an oak tree.
He insisted that we have lunch
ldinner was overland we yielded.
The lunch was tempting and sppre-
cisted n
His wife was Miss Iva, daughter OF
Mr.. Julian Allen, banker, Of Millers-
burg, Their two sons, Harry Allen
and Julian 6, are Eve and three years
old. Harry thinks he will be farmer
but Julian is still undecided. They
are fine little fellows. and we wish
them success.

a JAMEsis. MOORE.

We stopped for a few minutes to
see our aged and venerable friend
James s. Moore. AS we go through
the country we take time, now and
then. TO drop in for few minutes,
exchange greetings, endeavor to give
or receive little sunshine and cheer
fulness, and then are gone. He is
able to walk around, but the palsied
limb, the feeble step and the form
bending under the frainess of four
score and Que years indicate that his
courso is about finished and soon the
glories of the heavenly world will
burst upon his vision. With sstisfac-
ton. he contemplates the reward for
his long service and awaits the Faith
er's. will. He has never used pro-
fame word, entered saloon, been on
race course and does not know the
cards in deck. How we wish that
the young men OF the country would
hear and heed these words.
Sad sad indeed, it lie to see the
wreck aud ruin wrought By sin upon
the boys, and shall we say some OF
the girls in the social features so pop
ulsr. Again we would advise, entreat,
implore the Young people in town
and country to guard well their ways
Mr.. Moore has reared large fam
lily, of whom three sons, Sherman,
Allie and Clarsnc, are preachers.

ACHARM1NG RECEPTION.

On Wednesday, June 6, Mrs Van Ingen opened the beautiful rooms of her spa cious mansion for reception in behalf of MT and Mrs George Lyman, MT and Mrs Frederick Lyman and their families: Hart Lyman, the youngest brother, on the New York Tribune editorial sts fl was unable to be present. The father o1 these, Rev Ephraim Lyman, was a pas. tor of this people some dozen years, from the early fifties to May. 1864, when he re- moved west. The elderly people came out in goodly numbers, and there was surprise that SO many of the warm friends of the pastor in ''the times that tried mems souls" were still living in town. It was 8 gladsome time in reviv- ing past memories and exchanging social greetings for Ia future storehouse. All were heartily thankful to the loving hostess for the happy ferethought of such a gathering. The refreshments were on an extensive scale and richly enjoyed by all present.

about his place in fine order, and one might suspect it was the home of some city gentleman. On the brow of the hill overlooking the river he has erected an observation tower. To the writer's mind 1t Is the pleasantest outlook in Washing ton, even excluding Prospect hill. Sev- eral city men have looked the place over and 1t would not be surprising if 1t was snapped up some day at good price.

STILL ANOTHER SUGGESTION.

Your correspondent has heard many suggestions for @ different name for Washington Depot. But the following seems to be the most unique and novel, "Wsshington-on-the-Shepaug." The most serious drawback to this name is it's length, but it has many superior ad- vantages. It is not commonplace like West Washington. This name is in imi. tstion of many famous river towns, e. E., Frankfort-on-the-M Main, Bingen-on the- Rhine. Stratford-on-Avon,T Tarrytown-on the-Hudson. Washington-on-the. She- paug exactly describes the location of the village and easily distinguishes it from the Green. It Is an attractive name and might serve as an advertisement to induce city people to spend their sum- mers here.

 WASHINGTON.
 ANENT THE DISCUSSION AS TO CHANGE OF NAME FOR THE VILLAGE NOW CALLED WASHINGTON DEPOT.
 However convenient and appropria e the name may have been 25 years ago, it Is manifestly incougruoua and out of place now. A thriving villsge with sev- eral churches, stores, town hall, court room, fl @ company, and where the vari- ous trades and calli1gs gre well repre- sented by able artisans according to their various tastes, be they decorative, specu- lative, lugubrious or labor;ous and whose people are representative American citi- zens well up in touch with the progress of the age, certainly ought not to be call. ed Depot" We have Washington Mill, Washington Fire Company, Wash iugton Feed Company, Washington Grange and Washington Probate Court
 
 hall Is here, the elections are held here, freight and express packages are direct. cd to Washington, 1t is called Washing. ton on railroad tickets and time tables, Il is the business center of the town, and it's people are free and equal to those oi any other Washington, other opinions to the contrary notwithstanding, and they are entitled to all the rights and benefits to be derived from this time honored name, without regard to previ ous condition of servitude, political faitt or whether married or single. Drop tht obnoxious "Depo," "Daypo," "Deppo' or Depot" as 1t is variously called, ant let us have good, plain, substantial, GU phonious Washington without any frills wills or other sentimental nonsense what ever. Let the village on the hill whicl in now @ resident and not & business par of the town, be called Washington Cen ter or Washington Green. This change would involve no trouble or expens' whatever and everybody would b. happy in the thought that they still liv ed in Washington, even If the condition of the roads does not always compar' with the amount of money expended up on.them. And strangers would not b. under the impression that the Depot was the only thing of consequence in thu place.i Whatever mail might inadver tently reach this office intended for th Green or Center, would be promptly for warded to it's proper destination by ou efficient postmaster, MT SeeleY, wht knows and Is the friend of every one il town. Let us have no prefixes, suffi xe or affixes whatever to the grand olt name.-[H. K. F., Washington "(De pot)," Conn.,, June II, 1900.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES IN EAST vIL- LACE.
 The Methodist church was flied to ove, lowing on Friday evening, June l. it being an entertainment given by the
 scholars of East Village school. Through the efforts of Miss Edith A. Turner, the teacher, assisted by 8 few young ladies of the school, fine program had been prepared. Promptly at 8 o'clock as the
 children were quickly taking their places
 grand march was played by Miss Fur ner, and when the curtain rolled aside
 the music changed to song of greeting by the entire school. Then followed re. citations, dialogues, etc., one young lady
 taking the part of the census enumera- tor, while another was the good old Irish Dame, who was born a few Irish miles from Killarney. The acting was perfect and would certainly do credit to profes- sionals. Miss Gall Staples, daughter of
 Judge Staples of Shelton, is charming young elocutionist and delighted all with bright unaffected manner in the Broom. SUCK 4Ihlu 6uu A0 u4QSkCh1 E 0ullys
 In response to an encore she recited ssChildren's Heads are Hollow" Miss Vera Beardsiey, also of Shelton, recited in her usual pleasing style. Miss Beasie Howells of Ansonia gave an instrument al selection and Miss Edith Bliss sang sweetl7 in solo "Just when need you
 most.'' Little Miss Tillie Smith, young
 est daughter of Rev Arthur Smith of New Haven, delighted everyone present. Her imitation of negro dialect was per- feet, and is not often found in one so young. Miss Hattie Smith gave two re- citations which showed excellent train. ing. A ripple of excitement went through the audience when Edwin Shell ton stepping forward presented Miss Turner with beautiful plush album, . present from the scholars. At almost the same moment large bouquet of roses and pinks mysteriously fell at her feet. Though completely taken by surpriee,
 Miss Turner expressed her gratitude at
 thus being remembered by her young friends. Then followed. the presentation of the Roll of Honor for regular attend- ance recitation and department. Miss
