Held Over.

A man named Robinson, claiming
Charleston, w. Va, as his home
has been here several days selling
rugs, laces, etc. He was arrested
Wednesday and tried before Judge
Hazelrigg for peddling without Ii
cense, the jury fixing the fine at
$50. This verdict was set aside by
Judge Hazelrigg, who held him
over to Circuit Court in the sum of
$50, which was given and the young
man liberated. The following from
an exchange in regard to peddling
fits the case and we reproduce it:
Before patronizing a peddler or
faker ask yourself the following
questions: Did the peddler give
anything to your school debt Did
he set up with you when you were
sick; When your house burned
was his name on the list of those
who helped you in your misfortune:
Was he one Of your sympathizers
when death came to your door;
Did he carry you on his books
when you were out of work. If he
won't respond to these require
ments he certainly is not entitled
to as much consideration as your
local bushes men, for they help you
in these particulars and many
more"
In this connection we would re-
mind our merchants that if they
advertise their goods and let the
people know what they have that
the people will patronize them in
stead of the peddler. Talk to then
through your ad in the home papers
If you think you can't get up your
ad let us know. We will write il
for you. That's cur business.

out its legalized sale in the county

A Fine Dinner

We spent Thursday, July IS, in
Menefee county. Leaving the
train at w. s. Hamilton's we Sc
cured his horse for the journey,
down Slate, Hawkins Branch, etc,
Crops appeared backward and the
roads We're dusty.
We spent several minutes with
w. NJ Ingram, who has been sick
for about Is months. He is una
bic to work, but is not confined to
his room. How thankful should
be the men who are free from
sickness. Yet sickness is often a
blessing. If men are endeavoring
to live as God would have them
live, sickness, broken leg, loss Of
property, false accusations, ETC.,
are for their good, for we are told
that all things work together for
good to those who love God.
Speaking words Of encouragement,
we rode on and Unexpectedly fell
in with some men, another sort,
boisterous fellows, who We're
drunk or pretended TO be drunk,
and who were not choice in their
language. An object lesson was
presented, throwing the effect Of
unrestrained appetite and passion; ;
perhaps too their youthful sur
roundings had been unfavorable,
perhaps reared by ungodly par
ents; or perhaps reared by Chris
tian parents, whose hearts had
been crushed by wayward sons.
We did not ask whether they had
been drinking ''red eye" beer,
claret punch or champagne. A
drunk is a drunk, and drunken
ness is sin. They were clothed
(they had on their shirts) but evil

A Miniature Railway.

One of the greatest novelties Of
the age is the Miniature Railway,
the smallest steam railroad in the
world. The gauge is IS inches the
height, 3G inches from top OF rails
to top Of smokestack on locomo-
tive. Each passenger coach ac-
commodities two persons, either
adult or children, and is six feet
long and - inches wide. A man
standing beside the engine il from
two to three feet above its top, and
yet this midget runs y miles an
hour. 1t works just like the big
railroad trains, and will be one of
the features at the Street Fair and
Carnival August 2l-24 Every
child in the State should see and
ride it.

Dimes Found in a Log.

A dispatch from Owingsville
says: In saving up an oak log,
three feet in diameter, at Taylor
d Wells saw mill, the saw struck
an obstruction in the shape of four
ten cent pieces near the center of
the log. When picked up from
the sawdust, they were found to
be sealed together in such a man
ner as to render their separation
impossible. How they came there
is mystery, as the log was per-
fectly solid.
