1t has been my province, certainly
my desire, since becoming enc ana
part of this fair little city to see many
things to applaud and few to condemn,
and it has been my pleausre to speak
of the good behavior that the city
seemed to be or, and | had hoped that
nothing would come to change the
even tenor in th S regard, but OF late
there has been such monopoly OF
some of the public hacks by certain
colored element under the very glare
of the MONDAY sun, and upon the
most public streets of the city that L
can no longer refrain from saying that
decencydemans that a stop be put to 1T.
1t is net necessary to goi nto further de-
tail fo all know to whom reference
is made.
A certain citizen of the city, who
if not a divine is far enough up the
line of those who fear the Lord to be
one, speaking to the writer upon the
subject of lynchings, the other day
said, that he knew of certain young
lady in the city who had become so
skilled in the handling of a pistol
as a a.means of self protection Fhf she
would want no further protection than
It's use in case her home were invaded
and he remarked, THAT is just what
every lady should do, as 1T would re-
move forever all question of the wrong

wagon hitched by the roadside
With a wild snort the horses climbed
over the hitching post, and went tear
ing down the road, kicking the wagon
to pieces as they went. Cough cure and

In the address Of u. S. Treasurer

on THE Inflow of Gold" are found the
following eloquent words: 1.-The golden
flood is without peer in its magnitude
1t has brought to our people and our
government treasures richer than any
before recorded in human annals. It
has covered the continent and blessed
all the inhabitants. It's sources and its
current are not exhausted. It continues
to spread itself over every valley and
plain. fructifying as the waters of the
Nile. Bankers may do much to direct
1t into right and beneficent channels.
They can prevent it's diversion for sin
lister and harmful purposes. The strip
pings of the surface of the mines have
been brought to us. Riches from lower
levels are within sight. If the Amer
acan people are prudent, will let their
common sense and cold reason govern,
they shall see that the prosperity they
enjoy is the earnest of more to come
of material achievement beyond the
scope of prophecy, deserving to be
adorned with moral and spiritual flower
and fruit which shall glorify hui
