While the death rate of Psducah is
undoubtedly decreasing, and there
is not vast amount of sickness
comparatively speaking, this fact
is due to other causes than to the
sanitary condition OF the city, because
the sanitary condition OF the city is
bad, and anyone can see it for him
self. With the dust, reeking cutters,
filthy alleys and sewerage turned into
the cutters instead of the sewers the
sanitary condition cannot be good, and
as long as il is not, it is = menace to
the city, and subjects the people to
the constant danger Of epidemics and
an increase of the death rate.

The best way to get some adequate
conception Of how many imbeciles
there are in the country is TO look
over few Of the country exchanges.
The country exchange, to large de-
gree, has degenersted into . repository
for plate. antiquated stories that have
been going the rounds for weeks or
months, and letters steen columns in
length from some subscriber who is
visiting or has located, in some far off
state and wants to inform the anxious
people at home what he is doing,
whether they care to know OF not.
The profoundly imposing 1--WE" bris-
ties throughout the paper, and the col
umns are studded with alleged comic
illusions to the good people of that
section. Among the most remarkable
thing seen in any Of the country pa
pers, however, was column and a
half communication on temperance
from some fellow who had the audaoi-
ty to sign his name TO it, and which
had the following ridiculous ending:
"Now, Mr.. Editor, as my article is so
lengthy don't know whether you
will think it worth publishing, but IL
you do J wish TO say little more.
To all Christians who should read
these lines, please tell your wives l
have drank my last drink. II you have
no wife tell your sweetheart. II you
have no sweetheart 60 and find one
and tell her have drank my last
drink" The gentleman is TO be con-
graduated on having drank" his
last drink, but the average mortal will
not care enough about such drivel to
go TO all the trouble he asks. The
country paper was once a powerful
medium but its editors need TO be
more discriminating Their lack Of
space makes il all the more impera-
tive that rubbish, inano letters from
correspondents and such things be
done away with, and ths standard Of
material be elevated. Some OF the So
called news in the papers is often
month old. Only last week some Of
the papers were printing the result of
the appellate convention here, and
some of them probably haven't got
the Mt Pelee disaster vet. There are
many exceptions. however, aud Of
course every fellows paper is one of
them.

When street extension and improve
ments are deemed necessary in other
parts of the city, it has been customs-
ry for the city council to order them,
irrespective of the wishes of the prop
erty owners. II the proposed exten-
sion of Jefferson street is advisable
the city should order it, notwith-
standing the objection of some Of the
property owners. II the council stood
back on account of those sort Of objec-
tions there would never be any new

bill of about $4,000 for extra guards

ers are in the majority in county,
or are strong enough TO endanger prop

not do it, then the county ought to

thousand dollars instead Of three.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Supply plenty of gravel to fowls that
are being fattened in confinement.
Chickens should never be allowed to
go on the roosts until ten or twelve
weeks old.
Lime is a purifier and should be used
as a wash on the coops, perches and
nest boxes.
If hen lays soft shelled eggs, give
her plenty of gravel, oyster shells and
crushed bone.
Ducks should be allowed as much
liberty as possible. They are not par
tial to confinement.
Flat eggs, eggs within eggs, double
yolked eggs and other unnatural for
nations are due to the hens being over
fat.
Geese may be fattened on any kind
of grain if fed all that they will eat for
about ten days before sending them to
market. Corn, peas and barley are
best.
Young chicks of fancy breeding
should not be permitted to roost on
perches until after they are eight
months old, as it often causes crooked
breast bones.
Accommodating filth is a prolific source
of disease, especially gapes. After the
poultry yard is cleaned up sprinkle it
well with diluted carbolic acid and a
little copperas.

FLAeLER LINE FOR SOUTHERN.
Rumors Regarding Purchase of East
Coast Line Revived.

Jacksonville, Fla, Oct. 22.-Thd
many rumors over the purchase of the
East Coast railway, Flagler system, by
the Southern railway, were renewed
yesterday by the filing of a trust deed
by the East Coast Railway company
to a trust company of New York, pro.
viding for an issue Of bonds to the
amount Of S8,741O0O, to run 80 years.
at 5 per cent interest, and to be dated
January !, 1903. Copies of this deed
were also filed in all the counties ii
which any Of the property of the sys.
tenn is located.
A memorandum accompanied each
deed requesting the clerk of the court
to allow no one to see the paper
The deed says the money is to be
used for purposes of extension, build,
ing branch lines, consolidating merg
ing or purchasing other roads, or other
railroad properties"
This, on account of the situation, has
been deemed rather significant as
showing that purchase by the South
ern may be expected.
