''YE OLDE TYNE CONCRETE

The old time concert, given for
the benefit of the repair fund of
Ascension Episcopal Church, on
Tuesday night, at the Capital
Theatre, was one of the most de-
lightful entertainments of the
season. There was a fine audience
present, composed of the best peo-
pie of our city.
The whole entertainment was
furnished by local musical talent,
of which this city has a remark
ably good supply, and each ole
seemed to try to make it sue
cess, in which they succeeded ad-
mirably.
We are glad to say that neat
sum was realized.

There is nothing that has q more deleter-

than the excessive use OF tobacco. Pain and

sufferer has to sit up in bed to breathe are
the most common symptoms Of a weak heart.

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.

While we know that it is very
attractive sport, still we also
know that the practice of a lot of
youths and young men starting
their sleds and running them on
down the incline from the ceme-
terry gate down Main street until
they often reach the Capital
Hotel, is a very dangerous one,
not only to those engaged in the
sport, but to others whose duty or
pleasure takes them out the Yer
sailles turnpike.
On Sunday afternoon there
were several narrow escapes from
serious accident, and only a hairs
breadth at that.
We like to see the young people
enjoy themselves, but their enjoy
ment ought not to be allowed to
interfere with the proper use of
the streets.

TIST MINISTER.

Rev. Joseph w. Warder, D. D.,
of Louisville, one of the oldest
and most useful Baptist Ministers
of the State, died at his home in
that city, on Saturday, aged rs
years. One of the saddest things
connected with DR.. Warder's
death, was the fact that his de-
voted wife was away from home
and could not reach his bedside
in time to see him alive.
Away back in 1849 Or 1850 DR..
Warder was pastor of the First
Baptist Church, of this city.
He had been a minister over
half of a century, and was an able
and godly man.
He was a member of McFerran
Memorial Baptist Church at the
time of his death.

Mr.. Withrow had served as clerk

QUITE A LOT OF WEATHER,
THANK YOU.

On Saturday the day was warm,
bright and springlike, after l
o'clock, a. m, and the ice and
snow began to disappear from our
streets and sidewalks.
That night, however, it again
clouded up and early Sunday the
snow began to fall heavily, chang
ing, later on, to sleet, then to
mist and then to rain, which fell
until late in the night, making
the footing very treacherous and
as slick az glass.
In the night, Sunday, it again
showed to the depth of about an
inch.
Altogether we had quite a lot of
weather, but we are grateful in
that it was not very cold all the
time.

A Ii TILE TOO SOON.

We dislike to complain about
our street lighting. but those fur
nishing the lights have fallen into
the habit of turning them off a
little too soon in the morn ing.
By few minutes after 5 o'clock
the streets are left as dark as Md
night. and any one having to be
out at that hour has to trust to
luck to find their way about. Es-
pecially is this unpleasant for
those who have to leave on the
early morning train for Louis
vile. Quite a number of these
persons have narrowly escaped
running into others while wend-
ing their way to the depot, and
their comments would not make
pleasant reading.
We call the attention of those
having the matter in charge, so
that it may be remedied before
serious damage can follow.
We believe the contract calls
for the lights to burn during all
the hours of darkness, and we
know, by personal experience,
that they do not.

At the Opera House.

Gorton's Minstrels will appear at Folks
opera house Monday, February 18th. The
addition this season of many high class
specialties of novel and interesting
character insures a performance satis-
factory and pleasing in all details. Among
the notable features is the stage setting
of the first part, representing tropical
scene in Florida, with the magnificent
Ponce De Leon hotel in the back ground.
Rich and elegant costumes. add still
further to the beauty of this incompara-
BILE stage picture. The entire company is
composed of capable performers, each one
selected with special reference to his
ability. The comedy, music, and various
specialties are said to be high class in
every respect. The press opinions in the
various cities where this organization has
recently appeared are of very favorable
character, and there is every indication
that the performance is all that it is rep
resented to be.

Attention, Farmers.

President E. D. Smith has issued call
to the farmers of the State to meet IN
their respective townships on Saturday,
February 18th, to elect delegates to the
county convention to be held at the court
house on Saturday, February 18th. You
are therefore, earnestly requested to meet
on Saturday and elect delegates. Let
every township in the county be rep
resented at the county convention. This
is important to the farmers as well as
everybody else. The price of cotton is
down, and the acreage has been too large.
The object is to cut down the acreage
and thereby raise the price. Give this
m after your attention, farmers, and let
Bamberg be in the front rank.

'THE MOMENT BE SAW m BE SCREAMED

1t, and on May 8 I set off alone on my
1900 mile drift. The Missouri river
was full Of drifting ice, and I went
downstream with It, seeing it melt and
melt as I got farther south and then
saw it finally disappear. There was
nothing Of incident to the trip. It was
simply a lazy dropping downstream at
the rate Of about forty miles a day,
for only drifted in the daytime and
tied up to the bank at night. All the
company I had was the lion, that snarl-
ed at me all the time, and the wolf,
that was running about the boat. I
saw no people who were inclined to
bother me at all, and wouldn't have
minded it If I had, for I've lived all
my life where the only law was a six
shooter and the right on your side.
