CIVIC RIGHTEOUSNESS.

The second sermon on "Civic Right
eousness,' by Rev. A. R. Kasey at the
Methodist church Sunday evening was
brimful as it were, of truths that should
appeal to the conscience of every true
hearted citizen of this community.
The manner in which he touched up the
indiscretions of men holding high posi-
tons in this country, was forcible ar
gument on the point of bribery and cor
ruption in politics, which goes to show
that man who attempts to bride his
fellow man, will accept bride himself
in so far as the law is concerned on the
point. His subject, "Our National
Bane,' was handled in mastery way,
and many of those who heard him pro-
nounce his position in the matter a
most admirable one, and one worthy of
the attention of all politicians.

Mr.. John B Wathen Jr., of Lebanon,
had one of his fine saddle bred stations
exhibited on the streets of Columbia
last Monday. We have just reasons
for saying that Chester Dare Jr., the
horse shown, impressed many people
who examined him as one of the best
horses ever seen in this part of the
country. He is beautiful bay, fine
form and handsome in every particular.
Combining form, breeding and action
he would be highly valuable to any coun-
try where saddle stock is produced. He
was ridden and exhibited by Mr.. Ray
Beasly, of Danville, who knows how to
show horse in the best form. Mr..
Chas. K. Wathen who had charge of
this horse received many compliment
tary statements from our citizens who
pride in fine stock. The show made at
disadvantage, due to the crowd on the
square, was good one and a splendid
advertisement for the Highland View
Stock farm of Lebanon.
