X-A N ing roundly scored by the demo-
 cratic press for his flop" to the ranks of the republicans. It was not very long ago when MT. Davenport in his most brilliant and versatile style. was lampooning the trusts and republican mis- rule and turning the limelight on every fault of the party now in power with such vigor and evident sincerity that no one dreamed that his talents would be exert ed with equal determination on the op- posite side. Yet. the cartoons that he is now drawing for a syndicate of re- publican newspapers are as clever as ever and reveal the rugged strength that has made them famous. MT. Davenport's private sympathies may still lean toward the democrats but nevertheless he Is ac- cepting a fancy salary for waging pie ture war against his former allies and his admirers who have heretofore been impressed by his character and good fel lowship regret that he has gone over to the enemy.
 It will be some time yet before Mrs. Florence Maybrick succeeds in escaping from the newspaper notoriety that has dogged her for so many years and is more pronounced than ever now that she has at last has been released Rumors of her movements have been rife here of late and If she but dare to show her head she is forthwith pursued by a swarm of reporters. People who have never suf- fered from the persecution of the press as a result of their conspicuous posi- tion in the world can hardly realize the tribulations of a sensitive gentlewoman like Mrs. Maybrick. She has many day she will be permitted to rest in peace and live out the remainder of her blast ed life in comparative happiness and ob- seurity.
 The report that the Hon. Bob" Taylor of Tennessee Is again contemplating launching forth on the doubtful seas of matrimony Is creating surprise in the south. The distinguished lecturer and humorist Is but lately freed of one wife and now he Is announced to take anoth- CT, prominent society girl of Virginia. MT. Taylor has rich imagination. warm heart and a mind that delights to dwell on the brighter and more roman tic aspects of life, so he probably feels that it is not good for a man to be alone, even if he has to make several mistakes before finding the right companion. If there is really some foundation of truth in this rumor concerning MT. Taylor it is to be hoped that his new ''castle" may not come tumbling down about his ears.
 Mir.

Chauncey M. Depew. Uncle" Joe Cannon. Senator Pettus and few other sprightly veterans of Father Times cohorts have led us to believe. It is Mir. Roots candid opinion that Senator Davis is too old to be elected vice president on the democratic ticket because Judge Par ker might be unexpectedly removed and Mir.

In the report to the Town Coun.

Lexington, the following table
giving the F"iInfall in Lexington
since 1870 is of great interest and

Leaving out the rainfall for
1870 and 1873, Which wes phe.
nomenal, we have an average rain
fall for 9s ysars equal to 1852
inches annually. 1t is seen that
the rainfall of 5000 inches for
1904 Is about three-fourtbs Of this
amount. 1t is the smallest rain
fall since 1869, except that of
1894, which was 1904 inches.
