DIR. j. j. Haptonstall, of New
River, was in the city to-day and
reports the smallpox situation in
Fayette county as still very serious.
He says that an expert visited the
infected district on yesterday, and
promptly set at rest all question
and doubt as to the commences of
the malady by declaring that all
suspected cases we're the genuine
plague. The authorities, he re-
ports, are doing all possible to pre-
vent further spread of the disease.

Death.

AS it has so often been said that
death is no respeoter of persons, but
with equal hand he visits the home
of the rich and poor and chooses for
his own the fairest bud and the
full-blown flower. In any form
death is terrifying to contemplate
and we naturally shrink from all
thought of it. But at the same
timeit should be borne in mind
that only by thinking of it and re-
heoting on it seriously can we be
prepared to meet death when it's
approach becomes a personal mat
ter to us.
We are so constituted that we
always rather seek to evade the un-
pleasant realities of our existence
and turn to pleasurable features of
life for food for thought. We
view death rather in accordance
with the maxium of crossing
bridges when we come to them,
but we will find that If this policy
is carried out strictly, that when
the hour for our dissolution is
come, we will find that we have
not fortified ourselves with the
necessary forethought and we will
draw back in terror as we peer
into that realm, unknown to us and
SO full of mystery.
The country we will then be
about to explore will be filed with
mystery, and we will see travellers
over it's we'll beaten paths without
a guide and without hope. If we
would reflect moro on this "undis-
covered country" we would soon
learn to know the right path, which
would bring us safely through and
at the same time know the pit
falls to avoid.
Facing the emergency when it
arrives is therefore not the part of
wisdom to pursue. Those, how
ever, who have acted wisely, and
have solved the mystery of the
grave, may have hung back when
death approached, but this is
merely one of the natural tenden-
cies of our nature; life, Particularly
to the young, is pleasant and full
of promise, while tho grave is dark
and foreboding Naturally, there
fore, we shrink from it's embrace,
but with hope and faith to lead,
the night of the grave is certainly
brighter than to those who die
without this hope. w. w.

Sweeplngs.

The plea of ignorance will never
take away our responsibilities.
A good conscience is to the soul
what health is to the body.
When the best things are not
possible, the best may be made of
those that are.
There is nothing that makes the
soul so courageous and venture
some as a good hope.
Failure, after long perseverance,
is much grander than never to have
striving good enough to be called
failure.
1t is foolish thing to be miser-
able before hand, for fear of misery
to come; for man loses the pres
ent, which he might enjoy, in the
expectation of the future.
Gods promises were never meant
to ferry our laziness. Like boat,
they are to be rowed by our oars;
but many men, entering, forget the
oar, and drift down more helpless
in the boat than if they had stayed
on shore.

Progperity and the Poor.


The cold spell which marked
February's advent proved one thing
beyond dispute. In spite of the
great tidal wave of Mckinley pros
perity which has, SO to speak, sub
merged the country, there are still
few people who have not beenaf-
fected by it. Word comes from
Chicago that not since the winter
of 1896 has there been such heavy
demand upon the charity organiza-
tions and the city institutions as
there is at present. Oh course
there is in every community class
of ne'er-do-wells who would be in
digent in any event. but this GLASS
is always comparatively small.
The truth is that there is good
deal of moonshine, and has been
from the start, about sob hunt
ing every man"
If every merchant in this town
aud in fact all other towns in tile
land, would put up the sign No
Trust" and live up to it, every per-
son would be much better off
Credit accounts should tie kept at
the bAnk. If "A man has any basis
of credit he can borrow of them
The merchant who trusts any other
kind of man takes his chances
People to keep out of trouble must
learn to live within their income,
and the only way to do this and to
avoid trouble is to pay as you go.
The credit system is demoralizer
and often makes rascals out of hon
est men. The cash system is the
only true and honest way to do
business. Business men consider
accounts paid every month as cas' ,
and that time is really long enough.
----
A movement whereby we can get
a little amount of good roads built
every year is probably the only way
that we will ever reach the requis-
lite result. 1t should be followed
up and after few years every
one would be surprised at
the amount of good roads
that will have taken the place of
the mud holes that at present dis
grace us. BY proper and Judi
oious use of the road tax collected
this oan be done in every district,
without entailing additional bur-
dens upon the tax payers.
The whistle of the steamboat is
welcome and so musical in these
days that it is hard for US to be-
lieve that it was ever unknown, but
Mrs. S. e. Curtis relates that GER
tain resident of Hockingport, Ohio,
when the first steamer with whis-
tie piled her way up the Ohio,
heard the unknown sound and
thought it was woman's voice as
a signal of distress. With the true
spirit of kindness characteristic to
frontiersmen he struck out boldly
to her relief and it is easier to imag-
inc than to describe his surprise
when he learned the source of the
unusual noise.
