The job OF a Councilman.


Here is something the Counoilmen Of
Hickman will appreciate. We copy it
from the Tullahoma Guardian:
The Job of Councilman in a town Of
TINS SIZE Is not a slnecure. In the first
place a Councilman Is a sort of grind
stone ON which every fellow grinds his
axe Ii is impossible to sharpen every
Old axe that comes along and when one
Is not attended to then cometh the
KICK, and kicks multiply in proportion

draw his plncely salary OF S24 per cal
enqar year If an improvement is or
dered ON Quality avenue, the pessimis-
TIC citizen on Plain street Intimates
that some day, maybe, the autocrat OF
the street committee will condescend to
come his way, while the denizens of
zig alley feel that they are being fear.
fully sighted. There are a hundred
anp one other things which have to be
coptended with by a Councilman, and
yeLa councilman has his temptations

The British Victories.

The war tide has apparently
turned against the Beers and In
favor of the ENGLISH, the recent
battles being won by them, the
Boer line broken aud their forces
driven back. The English now
have 100000 men in the field as
against about 10000 Beers. and
the English can send FIVE times as
many If needed, whereas the Boer
strength cannot be very greatly
augmented. This being true, the
subjugation of the Beers, as brave
ms they .,haye proven themselves
to be, can only be a question OF
time. 1t is not thought, however
that the Beers are to quit now,
but that some Of the bloodiest bat.
Ties of the war are yet 10 be
fought, and il is possible the war
may be DrOtrscted year or two.

1t is TO be feared that many q
the persons who lave discussed
the newspaper plan Of the Rev.
Mr.. Sheldon are taking the pro
ject in sense entirely too literal.
Some defend the plan on the
ground that Christ in his ser.

earth at the present, he would
probably use the daily newspaper
IN furthering his doctrines. From
the context of his savings as they
haye come down to the present
time these persons draw infer.
ences as TO what the contents OF
a paper edited as Christ would
have edited II should be.
Others denounce the plan of
the Rev sir. Sheldon as blasDhe.
nous. They contend that it is
blasphemy for a finite being to
set before himself the task of an
infinite being.
Neither of these classes appear
to take the proper view of the
project. They are too literal.
What Mr.. Sheldon seems to
propose IS to approximate as near.
~ as he can the perfect newspa
per Of the present sine. The
statement he has made of the
proposition is merely bright
way or epitOmizing aud calling at.
tention TO his effort.
This project is of some impor
lance both TO the newspaper aud
TO the reader. Thousands of men
are engaged in the precise work
which Mr.. Sheldon has set him

add a might TO journalistic NOR.

be charged with blasphemy.

twice, once in the head and once in the
left side just below the heart. Neither

The pistol used was a 30 Smith &

GOV. BECKHAM's AUTHORITY.

The fist act of Gov. Beckham
which involved seriously his au.
thorlty as governor was the grant,
ing Of u pardon to q penitentiary
convict last Friday. The prison
warden recognized the authority
Of Beckham, and released the
prisoner; but the common wealth's
attorney, without calling in ques.
ton Gov. Beokhsm's authority.
said the pardon was illegal be.
cause the document did not bear

THE STATE CONTESTS.

The Kentucky contest ss to the
State Offices is yet unsettled, with
the more pleasing aspect, how.
ever, that the courts and not guns
are to settle 1t. The Republican
branch of the Legislature which
had been assembling at London,
returned to Frankfort, and the
Democratic branch, which had
been holding it's session IN Louis

The Democrats haye q working
quorum in both houses. In sep.
arate, and also in joint session.
they have re.affirmed their pre-
vious action affirming the decision
of the Contest Board declaring
Goebel elected Governor and
Beckham the 1t. Governor. They
claim that this was not necessary,
but that they did so to satisfy the
opinions of some.
Both the Democrats and Re-
publicans have fled injunction
suits in the Circuit Courts, which
suits will be consolidated. and no

Immediately 10 the State Court of
