Once again Paris is kicking
about its dilapidated Court
House. Monroe City has five
parks, three small and two
large ones. One of the small
ones is one and one half blocks
from the post.otfice. If the
court house like it's village is
tumbling down, Monroe City
has a lovely site to place a
handsome building upon and
will do so, at no expense to the
county if it thinks it needs a
new house. When the new
house is built the Gents Of

most of these small and uncom-

Indeed Washington long re-
NAMED a sparsely built, IN.
slightly city and comfortless
place of residence. For more
than generation it's growth in
population was less than six
hundred a year, a rate of in
crease that would now put to
shame almost any village in the
land; and so late as 1910 De

could write that Washingt on

Look Here, Girls.

1t seems to us that if some
girls we're aware of the uncom-
plimentary remarks and the
suspicion their conduct causes,
they would surely be a little
more discreet. They seem to be
utterly oblivious to the fact
that they have a reputa ton, or
else imagine it to be invulner-
able. If one judge by the man
ner in which their names are
banded about on the streets
and gatherings of the mascu-
line sex one must conclude that
many girls some of them memb.
ers of the best families, are al
ready without the pales of re-
spectability, though save Il
whisper now and then, society
takes no notice of the fact but
by and by, II these girls persist
in their course, the whisper
will grow TO a mighty roar.
When too late they will realize
that they have no associates
than those with whom the
world places them. And yet
their soul may not be stained
with the actual sin. Only
reckless and indiscreet. They
who travel this path will be
sorely tempted. Can them af
ford it? Will a few transitory
enjoyments outweigh an unim
peachable reputation? Pause
O maiden fair. Consider wei
these things; else before you
realize the dangers of the in
iting road you travel! the
Rubicon will be crossed anC
there can be no retreat.-EX,

The defendants in the injuDctiSu

Company vs. the Wilmington and
Brandywin Springs Company, be-
gan to break down the contentious
o. the compliments IN Chancery
Court this morning.
William 5. Hllles, junior counsel
for the Wilmington and Brandy

argument for the defendants. He
tirst dealt with the charter oil the
complainant company which Mr..
Salisbury had held gave them the
sole right to construct and operate
a railway line over the streets oil
this city. Mr.. Hilles held that the
charter could not be so construed.
It was the intention OF the Legisla-
ture of 1864. which granted the
charter to the complainant COM
pany, to give them control over the
streets named inthat bill and those
only. Concerning the manner Of
operation Of that railway system,
MIR. Hilles commended that the COM
plainants had violated their char
ter in using electricity az motive
power after 1883, for the reason
that when the charter was granted
the use of electricity as a motive
power was unknown and it could
therefore not have been inthe minds.
