The Bells Mines coal property in
this oounty-Crittenden-re
Nv purchased from Col. w. w.
smith and Mr.. G. Fl. Wilson, will
coon become scene OF activity.
The chronic labor troubles in Un-
ion county has resulted in the
|Hillman Iron and Coal company
abandoning the Sturgis end OF the
deal, and they will concentrate all
Of their energies to the develop
ment OF the same vein which un-
derlies their extensive purchase
some 10 miles east OF Marion. The
Bells Mines coal is locally oonsid-
cred the best quality Of bitumin.
bus coal produced either in Ken

Tradewater river is within a mile
or mile and a half Of this pro-
perty, making il especially advan-
tagsous for river shipments, while
the GOAL tipple al Nunn's on the

Of a couple Of hundred coking

The Fairview mines, recently
purchased by the Ssaooast Mining
company adjoins the Rosiclaire, IL
linois, property. Some forty men
are at work repairing the old and
putting in new machinery, as we'll
as taking very considerable guam
titles Of fuor spar and zinc and
lead ores from the old shafts
which were sunk years ago. II is
very likely that the blended lead,
fuor spar, and zinc ores which
comprise the larger portion OF the
mines output, will be shipped to
the oompany's separating works at
Paducah. the property being al
most directly on the river. The
steamer Joe Fowler unloaded sew
eral hundred empty orc barrels for
this purpose at the company's
docks at Fairvisw last week.

1t is stated on fairly good au-
thority that a considerable tract
of land has been purchased just
east of the railroad, not far from
the electric light central station,
for the purpose Of establishing a
brick making plant. The clay in
this section is peculiarly adapted
for the production of frat. class
brick; indeed, it is said to make
both terra Gotta and tileing of SUI
perior character. With the de-
mand arising from the new build
ings that must be erected in and
around Marion the present season,
and the requisition from the GOAL
interests for erecting coking ov-
ems, as we'll as the wants from mp
and down the railroad, brick max
ing on a large scale ought to pay
handsomely.

A Novel Perfume Case.

Itis well known fact that light affects the quality of many things.
 Especially it is true of fine per fumes. It has always been prob lem with the dealer to know how to keep his perfumes excluded from the light and yet have them convenient for his trade. MT.

Every once in awhile we hear some one proclaim that Davis will carry Drew county and then, again, the news comes that Wood will carry Pope county. Now, to be::frank, we do not be- lieve either of these statements, because they are both unreason- able. It has always been the custom of people. every where. to give their home man their support, and 1t is only the vis- ionary man who expects the con- trary. County pride. if nothing more, will cause the voters O! Pope county to vote for Govern or Davis, and those of Drew Go, to vote for Judge Wood.

ing vigorous language:
 The administration says that
 1t is authorized by treaty with Colombia's predecessor. New
 Grenada, to keep the isthmus open for traffic and trans 1t. Suppose this is true. How does that authorize the United States to prevent the Colombian troops from landing on her soil to re- cover possession of her property and asserting her rightful juris- diction over that territory? If our government falls back on it's fears that traffic will be interrup- ted if Colombia lands her troops there is the very recent case of fighting on that isthmus betwce the soldiers of the Colombian government and a more power ful force of rebels than Panama can muster. and the fighting went on. and the rebels were de- feated without serious interfer- ence with traffic across the isth- mus.
 Butlet us get behind diplomat ic pretenses to the truth. We wanted a right of way across the isthmus for the Panama ca nal. Colombia wouldn't let us have 1t at our terms. The peo- pie on the isthmus secede from Colombia and assure our gov ernment they will sell the right ofway. Our government stands by with it's ships of war in the harbors and it's armed marines on shore. while the rebels either drive or cajole the few soldiers of the Colombian government into departing, and thereupon seize all he public property and the forts and proclaim the new gov ernment, and inside of forty-eight hours the president of the United States recognizes and treats with these rebels as the defacto government, and orders that the rightful government shall uot be permitted to land it's soldiers to drive them out.
 We do not need the Panama canal nearly as badly as England and France needed cotton during the Civil war to keep their hun dreds of thousands Of operatives from starvation. Those nations, by doing what Roosevelt has done at Panama, might have recognized the Southern Confed- eracv. raise I the blockade and got all the cotton they wanted They had the navies with which to do it.
 For this great government to seek the acquisition of certain territory from another nation with which 1t is at peace and unity and when 1t can not obtain the same on it's own terms. then to steal 1t by the means emploF- ed here. is more infamous than the Hawaiian affair. and that went far toward defea ting Presi- dent Harrison for reelection.
