Be What You Claim to Be

Let your motto be dispatch and
practice what you preach, The
teaching of morality and christianity
by immoral teachers are vices of the
lowest order. He that maketh a
cloak or mockery of the teachings of
the holy scriptures is libertine and
an assassin. He creeps stealthily in
to the confidence of the pure and un-
awares. When he gets them tenn
pered to the right heat, like the vul-
ture rapacious, he swoops down upon
them and bears them away to his
filthy lair, gloats over their voluptu-
GUS forms and feasts upon them.
When the feast is over, or they tire
of him, he is ready to besmirch their
once fair name, he the first and only
one to soil, to discolor it.
This creature in the form of man

When his Satanic Majesty makes

Gated few miles above this city and
operated it in connection with their
plant in the Seven Devils.
The prospect of the mines of the
Seven Devils being opened up and

is very gratifying to the people of
Washington county, who know that
within the bosom of its lofty noun
tains are hidden the richest and most
extensive bodies of copper ore to be
found in the west, awaiting the hand
of man, backed by capital and ade-
quate machinery to convert it into
the leading mineral commercial com
modify on the market.

Badly Injured.

Thursday about noon George Bar
ton, who is driving dray for Pete
Roberts, the liverymsn, met with a
very painful accident, which very
fortunately did not result more se-
riously.
1t seems that George was engaged
in unloading material on the Nc
Cune lots on East Main, opposite
Isaac Lelghton's, when in some
manner the team started to run.
They were going at a rapid gate
when George caught hold Of the
reins in an attempt to stop them.
They ran as far as the Opera House
when they coIlided with telephone
pole. George was still hanging on
like grim death when the fleshy part
Of his left arm was caught between
the end of the tongue and the pole,
badly laceratng his arm and bruisine
him up generally He was carried
across the street to Rev. Rogers
residence and Doctor Waterhous'
summoned. Fortunately it wa'
found that no bones we're broken anC
the doctor soon had him resting
easily. 1t will be several days be
fore he can return to duty.
