No Need to Feed Tramps.

The Sussex JOuTnOl very pertinently
says: "Sussex county has been feed.

Georgetown Jail. Why should the tax.
payers feed these knights of the road
when work is so plentiful everywhere ?
And the question is being asked who

Every taxpayer in the county should
be interested. The Levy Court should
be careful in allowing these bills"

The President Speaks Out.

President Roosevelt has spoken
word for peace in the Far East. In a
conference with Count Cassini, the
Russian Ambassador, at the White
House Friday, the President frankly
expressed the. opinion that Russia's
cause was hopeless and that further
prolongation of the war would only
increase the demands of japan. What
will be the effect of Presidents action
will not be known until the Emperor
has given it consideration. Count
Cassini expressed the personal opinion
that the psychological moment" for
the discussion ofpeace had not arrived
and added that Japan's terms, as pub
lished.unoficially, were impossible. +"

Signed Obligation to Keep Closed.

The proprietors of all the saloons in
Cynthiana have signed an obligation
to keep their places of business closed
from midnight Saturdays until after
midnight Sundays. Those who had
been indicted for previous offenses
paid the fines agreed upon between
their attorneys and the Common
wealth. The Sunday closing agree
ment is to be perpetual and its viola
lation, which is not anticipated in any
instance, would mean sharp over
hauling by the court, says the Gym
thiana Democrat.
The Harrison county grand jury,
which has just adjourned made a
Vigorour fight against Sunday closing.

old-Fashioned Foot Washing.

An old-fashioned foot-washing took
place Sunday at Beech Grove church
and was witnessed by one of the larg-
est crowds ever seen there says the
Bowling Green News. The services
were conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Jones,
of the Baptist church and were solemn
and impressive. Men and women were
lined up opposite each other on the
lawn, and the elders, girded about the
waist with a towel, and coats of, went
from one brother to another, and the
women the same, washing one foot on
each member, while hymns of joy were
being sung by the congregation. After
the foot-washing big basket dinner
was served. A member mounted a
stump and invited everybody to eat,
as there was plenty for all.

Schubert's Symphony Company.

The above company made its in
itia1 appearance in Brownsville last
evening and was greeted by large
and enthusiastic audience. The
first number of the program was a
quartette of female voices, and ere
tbs last note of the beautiful rendi-
ton had died away a storm Of ap-
plause broke forth, which was re-
sponded to by an encore of equal
merit. 1t is rarely that Browns
vile is favored with such vocal and
instrumental music as was furnish
ed by this we'll known company,
and the audience seemed ito
thoroughly appreciate the splendid
and rare instrumental execution.
The voices showed surprising range
and perfect control and every num-
Der of the program secured an en-
core.
The execution with the violin by
Tom Purcell, was a most appre-
ciated feature of the evening and
thunderous applause greeted his
every appearance
The monologue by Miss Eliza
beth Welpton, entitled The Pud-
ding" brought down the house,
as also did her rendition of its en-
core, Sisters Big Beau
Every number was worthy of
special mention, but it is enough
to say the audience was we'll pleas
ed throughout, and return engage
ment would no doubt be greeted by
a much larger attendance.
The people of Brownsville feel
very kindly inclined toward Prof.
Barbour for being instrumental in
securing this really first class per-
Torrance, part of the proceeds of
which goes to the public school
library, and THE HERALD is pleas
ed to state quite a neat sum was
secured.

the results of the experiments req
ferred to, it is safe to say they
were sufficiently hattering to in
dictate the people of this section
will be greatly benefited by the
adoption of methods that are being
applied for the purpose of bringing
about the best results. Mr.. Robert
son came down for the purpose of
securing data and information to
to be used in compiling a bulletin
on the question of irrigation, but
says he thinks a plan to drain the
water off would be more practicable
just now than how to get it on the
land. Mr.. Robertson visited the San
ia Maria country and is very well
pleased with prospects. He only
spent the night in Brownsville, and
as nothing could be accomplished
with any degree of satisfaction on
the irrigation question, he will
probably return later and take up
the matter when it is a little drier.
The gentlemen are extremely well
pleased with their visit, and desig
nate this entire section as a very
fine countrv.n
