The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1903-01-22

Our Broadway contemporary in
column article enlightens us this
morning with a homily on "grafters"
in street improvements. This seems
q little peculiar in view Of the fact
that the only important work ever
done in Psducah was by a close friend
of our contemporary, who did such a
bad job that the city refused to pay
for IL, and who, although an office
holder, now refuses to keep faith
with the city and the taxpayers by
placing the pavements in the repair
required by his contract. This same
gentleman, although holding public
office, has been allowed to run over
the city and taxpayers repeatedly
without q protest from our esteemed
contemporary, the friend Of the peo-
pie, while other officials are raked
over the Goals numerically for much
less. Further, the only person now
having a street contract with the city,
so far as we know, is the gentleman
who furnishes the gravel, and who Is
alleged to be a stakeholder in our
morning contemporary. Il ought
therefore to be in good position to
intelligently discuss street gratis. "
We fear our contemporary is opposed
to anything that savors of progress,
and does not hesitate to bat its own
friends over the head in order to hold
Paducah back. Or perhaps il hopes to
brighten of asphalt, brick or other
permanent street improvements so its
enterprising stakeholder can continue
to sell the city gravel.

Judge Wright Well Received.
Portsmouth Daily Blade. !


Judge Wright, who has been
holding court in Scioto county
this week, completed his labors
this afternoon. This was the
Judges first visit to Portsmouth.
1t may be said, and the truth of
the statement easily verified, that
he has captured the town. His
clever, sociable manner in meeting
those outside his official capacity
has made him many friends out
side of legal circles. In the court
room, his pleasant yet firm and
able manner of handling jury,
attorneys and officials has won the
admiration and liking of all. In
short, it can be TRULY said that
Judge Wright has established
friends among the people of this
city that will endure and the latch
string will always be out soliciting
his return.

A Complete Map.

Postmaster Mckay has gotten
out, at big expense, one of the
most complete maps of Hooking
county that we have ever seen. IThe
map gives every road; every piece
of land and name of the owner and
number of acres; every creek; To-
cation Of all gas wells; every post
office and rural routes; in fact
every thing that a person wants to
locate in tie county. The map is
a wonder, is beautiful and well
mounted in cloth. He is placing
the map ut $500 each, just about
what they cost him.
Mr.. Mckay is certainly to be
commended for his enterprise in
this matter. Every school house
should have one upon it's walls.
Every business man and county
official will find it an invaluable
help in their business for reference.

The ApeistS In Society.

To ape anything is a sign of vacuity
of mind; to ape the follies of those
above you is one of the most offensive
forms of vulgarity. Yet we see the fol-
lies of the uppermost classes steadily
initiated all down the different sets of
society, and the popularity of every
book dealing with the peerage is a
proof, if one were needed, of what alb
sorbing interest our failings are to the
public. There is nothing we will not
write upon to crafty this vulgar curl
osity; nothing is in too bad taste if by
its publication we can raise a little of
the ''needful." Our scandals, our in
trigues, our inane conversation, our
bills and even our menus are recorded
for the benefit of public which, while
processing to be Mortified, greedily
cries for more.-A Countess in London
Outlook.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1903-08-28
Tins to the Wrong Persons.

Some one in canvassing the tip sub
ject has discovered that we tip the
wrong people all the time. Particu-
larizing, the discoverer declares that
it is the cook, not the waiter, who
should receive this material expression
Of our favor and that it is the en-
gineer not the conductor, who should
have the extras for getting US about on
time when we travel in haste. OF
course this discovery will not result in
the searching out of the man behind
the man who reaches out his hand for
the tip. We shall continue to send our
gratuities along on the same old lines,
getting a SNUG contentment over feel
ing that we have done our duty-or is
it the satisfac tion Of making the petty
display Of cur cash resources ?-and
that we can't be expected to chase up
the real benefactor, but it adds an
other complication to the tip question
for those who already find it too per-
plexing.-Boston Transcript.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1903-08-28
Tobacco For. WiZaS

In the early history of Virginia and
Maryland tobacco was by all odds the
most important crop, and it was even
possible at times to secure a wife in ex-
change for moderate amount of to-
bacco, as in later days in the west a
squaw could be obtained in exchange
for q small amount Of whisky In 1882
at Jamestown tobacco was made a le-
gal tender for all debts, including Gus
toms. In about dozen years after the
founding of Jamestown by Captain
John Smith an English nobleman, Sir
Edwin Sandys, brought over with a
ship load of supplies ninety young Eng
fish maids, who Immediately upon their
arrival were wooed and married by the
colonists, each being paid for at the
rate of "120 pounds of good tobacco"
