Origin Of the Double Eaoles,

Both Russia and Germany display
two-headed eagles on their standards.
Yet this symbol is considered by
some heralds to be merely the result
of the heraldic practice of "dimidia.
tion."
This was simply child's way of
impaling two coats-of-arms on the
same shield by the primitive method
OF cutting each in half and taking the
dexter half of one and the sinister
half of the other and placing them
back to back, as it were. Strange
two-headed beasts naturally resulted
as, for instance, when lion and an
eagle were halved and joined togeth.

been evolved from two lions rampant

NEEDS.

The city of Mt. Sterling is
just like all other cities, it has its
needs.
Mt. Sterling needs better
streets, better pavements, and
more OF them; the business
mems club to meet not less than
once per month.
She needs men that would talk
up our interests, men that would
see to it that we have more small
manufactures located here, men
that would put to shame the fel-
lows, loafers, who are always
knocking, who say there is moth
ing doing; men who would see to
it that all chronic GROWERS are
moved into another section or
sent way back to sit down. We
need defeated candidates who
would join in with the will Of the
people, cheerfully acknowledge
their defeat and who would just
as cheerfully enter the conflict
against the Republican party.

Fires.

Wednesday the warehouse of
Ed. Refs caught on fire from a de-
fective flue and but for quick
work at the proper time it would
have burned. Damages slight.
Thursday a lamp was turned
over and exploded in the tailor
shop over Cooper's restaurant on
Main street and quick work sub
dued the flames Damages slight.
A telephone message reached us
from the Plum Lick neighborhood
saying the residence of Jesse
Morgan burned at IL o'clock Mon
day night and that his only son,
aged eight years, persisted in the
flames,
On Monday morning the resi-.
dence of H. C. Combs, of French
burg, caught on fire from a defec-
tive fue and was totally destroyed,
His household effects were largely
saved. This was the finest build
ing in Frenchburg and losses esti-
m ated at $S,OOO-insurance 81, 300.
On the night of the 22nd from a
defective fue, the residence of
Mrs. Jennie Cromwell, on East
Main street caught fire and burned
to the ground. The loss is esti-
mated at 81, with 81, 200 in
surance. 1t was a double house
and one, half was occupied by
Harry Levy who sustained heavy
loss. Insurance $500. Artie
Fitzpatrick occupied the other
side and his loss was entire. He
estimates it at $3.50.
The residence of VIM. Wright,
occupied by VIM. Amyx, caught
on fire from a defective fiue Tues
day noon and was a total loss. The
roof was falling in when Mr..
Amyx's family discovered the fire
and they barely had time to save
a few beds and some clothing. The
house was just outside the city
limits and on the Grassy Lick
pike. The building is valued at
50, 900 and was insured for $1,000,
and Mr.. Amyx's loss is estimated
at $500 to $1,000, insured for
$500.

WE WOULD BE JUST.

Because much has been said in
regard to the decision rendered. by
Special Judge Hayes, Of Winches-
ter, in the dams-Roberts contest
case, we desire to look into the
matter. In the first place, Gov
ernor Beckham. who has, under
all circumstances and conditions,
proved himself just and upright
Governor. made the appointment
of Judge Hayes, knowing that he
is a capable, fearless and just man
one who would do right. Judge
Hayes went into the district, heard
the evidence, knew the law, and
considering the two, rendered his
decision, and if the Republican or
Democratic critics have any cen
sure for any person it should be
for MIR. Adams, the Republican
contestant, who should have been
within the district where elected
the time prescribed by law.
Judge Hayes believed from the
evidence Mr.. Adams received the
majority Of the votes but was in
eligible to hold the office because
he was not resident Of the dis
trict at the time the election was
held. Mr.. Adams and the Re
publican party in this instance are
deprived Of the realization of the
preferment by the people Of the
district, not from any manifest de-
sire or ruling Of the opposing par
ty, but as a result of unfortunate
conditions, the creating of a new
district which left Mr.. Adams out
of the district in which he sought
to be elected Commonwealth At
torney. This occurrence is not
without a precedent, and the
thoughtful, knowing and just citi;
zens OF the district will be satisfied
when the final court has rendered
her decision, which will doubtless
affirm the decision rendered by
Judge Hayes.

DO RIGHT.

Several days ago Special Judge
Smith Hayes, of Winchester, de-
cided the contest case Of ]. P. Ad-
ans, Republican, of Salyersville,
against J. K. Roberts, Democrat,
of Beattyville. present incumbent
of the Commonwealth Attorney
ship in the SYST Judicial District.
He decides that Mr.. Adams was
elected. Since the election the
county of Magoffin, where Adams
lived at time of election, has been
transferred to another district, but
he has since moved to Beattyville.
The Judge also decides the office
vacant because Adams s9ormer
home is not now in the district.
Judging from whatwe have seen
and heard, Adams was elected and
should have the office Many
Democrats have plead for Justice,
right, and honest elections. Let
us see what will be done. If the
Supreme Court says Roberts is
entitled to the office we abide by
their decision; if Adams, we abide.

KEEP CLOSED.

The church organizations OF
Lexington are behind the City
Administration force in their ef-
forts to keep the saloons of that
city closed on Sundays. Every
representative is courageous and
makes a bold stand for the en-
forcement Of the Sunday law.
From this movement the Mt
Sterling Administration would do
we'll to catch the contagion. Mt.
Sterling saloons are closed, says
one. AS rule that is true, but
somehow and in some way there
are people who get drunk on Sun
days. Especiallyis this noticeble
on some of the towns colored
cooks. 1t may be the saloons
supply helps with liquor who de-
liver it to the cooks. This matter
can be looked into and if the helps
are delivering intoxicants on Sun
days, the owners Of saloons are as
responsible as if they had permit
ted it to be sold over their own
counters. Z
