Smith Mines.

About 80 years ago the lands of Beas-
ly Engram was sold for distribution and
one tract of that land hundred acres
adjoining VIM Buck Smith. The land
was considered OF little value, an old
field and some hill sides, and to keep his
stock from being hemmed in he gave
one hundred dollars for it some years
ago. Afterwards Mr.. Hamilton of
Nashville come down and gave to him
ten thousand dollars for it. After in
spection Mr.. Hamilton concluded the
ore was not there and sold to Pensyl-
vania Company for Twenty five thous.
and. Aud they sent some experts and
examined and said it would never pay
to dig it. The Company after paying
ten thousand dollars let it 90 back to
Mr.. Hamilton. The l.. & n. Rail Road
Company surveyed all the hollows and
said that road could not be built
that the grade was so great that they
could not get out with loaded cars.
About that time came to this county
from Pennsylvania beardless boy full OF
Scotch Irish blood, that has done SC
much for this country went over the
section examined the ore, and said il
was alright, bought the property, and
called to his assistance Henry Gass q
surveyor and went to work, cut through
the bluffs of Coon Creek, tunneled the
Ravens Bluff, cut down Lovers Leap
hewed off the side of Buzzard Bluff
100 feet above, went through the big
hills of shawley and down Long branch

hundred years from today.
Well the mines has been running
years with what success. We cannot
say how much profit, They have closed

AS Bro. Hudson is suffering from an
attack OF "Lagrippe" he was forced to
return home on the afternoon train and
his pulpit was filled at the evening hour
by Mr., E, Il, Beard young divinity
student of Lebanon, who won all hearts
by his earnest thoughtful address, He
spoke especially to the young from the
text;"I have written unto you, young
men, because We are strong, and the
word of God abideth in you, and ye have
overcome the wicked one" We feel

that he vii! occupy this pulpit again in

Water Works.

In our humble opinion, no town
the size of Lawrenceburg can afford
Water-works owned by a private
Company, for in order to make the
profit they have to have, the rates
are too high. But no town having
the favorable facilities and condit-
ions which Lawrenceburg has can
afford to be without water-works.
The town ought to own and oper-
ate plant. The present Legisla-
ure ought to be asked to pass an
enabling act, SO that at any time
in the next two years, bonds could
be issued if the town were to vote
them, tor this purpose. The writer
has lived in towns about this size
all his life. In some of those towns
water works belonged to the town
in others to private Company
and in every instance the private
owned plant has been failure in
service, rates and profits, while on
the other hand the municipal
owned plants have been a success
in each particular, This is a mat.
ter that demands prompt action.
We are of the opinion that nearly
every citizen feels that with the
rapid strides orr city is taking, we
will want to inaugurate system of
water and lights during the next
two years. We cannot do this un-
der municipal ownership without
al enabling act from the Lcgis!a

1t was a beautiful balmy morning,
the birds were singing, the buds were
bursting, and all nature seemd singing
the praises of God as we slowly Wend-

on South Military st. last Sunday morn
ing. Every one was glad, happy and
thankful for the day, so suggestive of
Spring, after the chillinS blasts Of few
weeks past. The attendance at Sunday
School was good and we entered into the
discussion of the lesson "Jesas at the
Feast of Tabernacles" with renewed en-
ergy. At the eleven O'Clock hour Bro,
Hudson preached quite an interesting
sermon on the subject of CANCELS" 10
they visit this earth now as they did
two thousand years ago when they
brought to the shepherds on the Judean
hills the "good tidings of great joy which
should be to all people" and to protect
the Christ Child from the wrath of
Herod warned Joseph to flea into Egypt.
Bro. Hudson is firmly of the opinion
that they do that our loved ones when
they pass over the dark river of Death,
become our guardian angels, ever guard
ing, protecting and keeping us from
evil. What consolation this should
be to those of us who have loved ones
zone before. and who, we have every
reason to believe, are now singing the
songs of the redeemed within the peariy

Proper treatment of Pneumonia

Pneumonia is too dangerous disease
for anyone to attempt to doctor himself
although he may have the proper rene
dies at hand. A physician should always
be called 1t should be borne in mind,
however, thatpneumonia always results
from cold or an attact of the grip, and
that by giving Chamberain's Cough
Remedy the threatened attact of Pneu-
monia may be warded off. This remedy
is also used by physicians in the treat
ment of pneumonia with the best results

The Library.

We present elsewhere, an article,
showing the prompt and proper
action Of the Chautauqua Society,
withregard to the library. We desire
to most heartily endorse their ac-
ton and urge it upon the attention
of our people. In only one thing
have they erred in our opinion.
That is in suggesting that a sub
scription of one dollar be taken.
This is not enough. There ought
to he one hundred citizens in Law
renceburg who will freely contri-
butte five dollars each to public
Library Fund.
There is no place in this or any
other state that has finer, more
public spireted cltizenry than Law
Irenceburg. There is nothing so
desirable as a Library to foster
and give expression to this splen-
did spirit. In all things that 60
to make life worth the while, the
pittance of five dollars thus invest
ed will repay the giyer many fold
every day of his life. This estab-
lishment of a Public Library here
will elevate the moral tone, create
an atmosphere Of refinement, cul-
ture and kindliness as no other
agency, nor perhaps all other agen'
cies combined can do.
We have suggestion to make

The Japs Keep Busy In China.


That the japanese understand the
needs and nature Of their Chinese
neighbors and profit by that knowi-
edge is shown in a report to the state
department by George f. Anderson.
United States consul at Hankow. At
tempts of Europeans and Americans
to introduce labor saving machinery
into the Celestial empire have been met
successfully by the argument that the
introduction Of such machinery would
work untold harm in a nation where
SO many millions of persons would
starve to death if there were the least
disturbance in the demand for their
labor. The contention that a readjust-
ment of the industrial situation would
avert that catastrophe receives the an
swer that myriads would succumb to
famine while the readjustment was
coming. That there Is truth in this ar
gument is admitted. The japanese,
however, seem to be solving the prob
lem for China by the introduction of
machines which save some labor, but
not enough to deprive any considerable
number of persons of their occupations.
One example of this is to be seen in
the foot power cotton gin now common
in parts of the country where the peo-
pie manufacture their own cotton
goods and handle their cotton crop
generally. The old method of ginning
was infinitely tedious. One of these
foot power gins enables workman to
turn out about 100 pounds day. The
machines are roughly constructed and
very cheap and, while increasing the
capacity of the workman, will not
cause any radical disturbance in the
labor world. A similar condition is to
be found in silk Keeling. The japanese
have designed q machine of wood with
few glass eyelets and metal fittings
which is regarded as marked i'm
provement over the Chinese silk reel
ing machine similarly constructed.
1t looks, Consul Anderson concludes,
as If the japanese were studying the
market of China very closely, not only
that they may supply these cheap ma
chimes for saving some of the labor of
the natives of the present time, but
to pave the way for greater improve
ments and more radical changes which
the Japanese themselves will make
and which will advance their own COM
mercial interests.

Italians In America.

Three investigators who ought to

Italian population in this country and
published their conclusions in book
entitled 1.-THE Italian In America"
The conclusions arrived at by these
gentlemen, who represent the census
bureau, the national board Of trade
and the Prison association, will sur
prise most people. The Italians ex-
amined are of every class and condi-
ton, and popular decisions as to the
criminality of immigrants from sunny
Italy are dispersed by the statistics
presented in this study. The writers
recommend that the new arrivals be
distributed throughout the agricultural
districts away from the cities, for If
so dispersed they will make desirable
additions to the rural population.
