n A GRIPPE is epidemic catarrh. 1t
- spares no class or nationally. The
cultured and the ignorant, the aristo&at
and the pauper, the masses and the
classes are alike subject to la grippe.
None are exempt-all are liable.
Have you the grip? Or, rather, has
the grip got you? Grip is well named
The original French term, la grippe,
has been shortened by the busy Ameri-
can to read "grip." Without intending
to Go so a new word has been coined
that exactly describes the case. AS il
some hideous giant with awful GRIP had

The Editor On the Rounds.

H6e G6iGoS On G6e hop10S.
For various reasons which are OBJ
vious to The reader, the Auditor and
Editor left Lexington in the after
noon of February 1st for the clay
lends of the Fork end as the shades
of uight we're gathering dark and
sombre we arrived at the home of
our old friend. John B. Hitler, where
we found hearty welcome and q
night of refreshing repose. We are
glad to be able to chronicle the fact
that the world wsgs we'll with John
and that all his worldly interests are
in fourisbing and prosperous con-
ditiop. He is hale. hearty and saucy
and genial and hospitable host.
On Monday morning we met the
taxpayers at Mr.. Jesse Wessinger's
and after the cares and vexations of
business transactions were laid aside
for the time being, We engaged in a
pleasant, social chat With uncle Jesse.
He is as sprightly as young colt
under it's first saddle and is an in
teresting tslker. After completing
our work at this point the Auditor
was compelled to abondon the trip
and return to the Court House, 80 as
to assist in drawing the jury for
Fsbrusry term of court as required
by law. He appointed our young
friend Johnnie Green Hitler, the
popular Iutendant of the ambitious
town of Hilton, bis deputy to receive
returns at Uncle Josh Shealy's, at
which place we arrived to complete
our work BY 4 o'clock in the after
noon On sccount of the bad con-
dition of the roads we concluded to
ssplay roundance" and returned to
the home of Mr.. Hitler by devious
settlement roads. where We spent
the night and for the second night
ne woed "nature's sweet restore
balmy Sleep beneath that hospitable
roof
Next morning accompanied by Mr..
B. B. Hitler we pulled out for Chaplin
and on arriving there we found every
body cheerful, happy and conterted
with the gifts the gods gave them.
The town is prosperous. The large
lumber business and planning plant
o. Mr.. Robertson gives employment
to many persons snd contributes
largely to the business interest of
the place. Capt. Frick's giDnery
and grist mill are doing good busi-
ness. The merchants are enjoying a
liberal share of the trade of the sur
rounding country which is one of TIE
most thriving and prosperous Sec
tions OF our county. We were placed
under obligations to Mr.. J. S. Wes-
singer for kindness and attentions
shown US and we hereby acknowl-
edge our grateful appreciation Ct
them.
Mr.. Banks Hitler. who received
returns for the Auditor, and con-
tiaued to do 50 for the balance of the
trip completing his work. we "lit out"
for Mr.. Perry Folmers and were
kindly taken care of by himself and
estimable family and their kindness
to US will ever lhger in our memory
as pleasant memento in life's dreary
waste
Our next point was the Cross
Roads where we served the good
people of that section in due time.

The Pope is wonderful old man and
may live to round out his century.
When he was chosen the cardinals be-
Iieved that his life would be short and
that another chance would come TO
them to ballot for the throne OF the
Pontifcate. But Leo XIII has outlived
the entire College with the possible ex-
ception OF one or two members and is
stiII in the full possession of his facul-
ties. No man ever showed to better
advantage the physical value of regular
habits and the simple life. The Pope
lives by rule and takes no chances with
his digestion: nor does he permit him
self to worry over his lot as dethroned
secular prince as Plus TX did. Speak
ing OF his daily regimen the Pope wrote
some Latin verses several years ago on
the proper food OF physical man; and
in stately rhythm ne reset his own
severely plain but ample table. Read
ing the items OF his daily choice Of food
gave the public a glimpse of one of the
causes of his exceptional hold on life.

The coming race for the America cup
is exciting much interest on the main
land and not uncommon hope exists
that Sir Thomas Upton may succeed
in his third effort tc lift the trophy.
This is not merely because Sir Thomas
is chivalrous and plucky antagonist
who deserves well of Americans but be-
cause the honor of holding the cup
against all Corners for forty or fifty
years is honor enough. Then again
Americans have grown tired OF winning
in their own waters and would not
mind competing for the cup in British
seas 1t would give the races an I'M
wonted zest to have them take place
abroad and our people would not mind
the chance to show their fine yachts TO
British millions. So If Upton wins
there win be few mourners on this side
of the sea.

LEGISLATURE AND LAND LAWS.

In a recent article this paper pointed
out the openings for evasion in the
Settlement Association law. Since then
some instances have been related 10
us which support, with concrete facts,
the general propositions advanced
II can be proved that a professional
man, doing business in one of the towns
of Hawaii. took up large tract of land
under the Settlement Association law
distant about twenty miles from his
place of business. He visited it weekly
staying over Sunday and by making
the place his voting precinct was able
to give IL the legal semblance Of home
He planted forage crops which could
take care OF themselves in the very lir1-
tied area specified by Iaw;raised nothing
Of any particular account; proved up as
soon as the time limit of nominal occu-
pancy had arrived and then sold the
tract to a large holder at a price which
enabled him TO buy a handsome place
In town. Small farming did not get
so much as a cabbage to it's credit by
this experiment.
Not long ago the right Of a man TO
take up large tract was challenged in
court on the ground that he was for
eEgner; and in the course OF his testi-
mony the man admitted that he was
merely acting as a dummy for a large
grazing concern which wanted the land
There are fine lands in the Kau dis
trict which 1t is proposed to allot to

citation. composed of six men, one OF
them Mr.. Hayselden himself. They
are lands which would oe useful to a
railroad company. 1t is not supposable
that Mr.. Hayselden intends to bury
himself there in the guise Of a small
farmer. No one believes that he wants
TO live on the place. What then? Has
he/figured out that three years of nom
inaI occupancy would give him highly
profitable bit of speculative realty? II
he hasn't, many another man would do
SO IN his place.
1t is time if farming land is going to
