a.. At this home the children are
] ceived from different parts Of
state, clothed, fed and taught vi
a home is found. The Home has
/. school and kindergarten where
children are taught. We listened
short talks from Rev. Maybee,
Virginia, Judge Ferris, Of Nashvill
Tenn and W. Il. Streeter, of Nor
Carolina.
4 At 2 30 we were again at the Fir,
, Christian Church listening to tw
negro orators present their side o
the question. Isaac Black, an at
torney, incidentally referred to tn,
race problem. He said: "You
white folks Of the North keep your
hands of and we will settle the race
question. " He praised the white
people of the south for their efforts
in lettering the condition of the
negro.
The Rev. DIR. +. l.. Powell, pas
tor of the First Christian church. de-
liyered an excellent address on THE
Citizen of Tomorrow. Mr.. Whit |
taker Supt. of the Indiana Reforma-
tory, invited u to VISIT that institu-
ton on Friday morning. We ac-
cepted the invitation.
Our morning session was held 10
the spacious chapel Of the reforma-
tory. Music was furnished by
band of boys trained in that institu-
ion. There are eleven hundred
,oung men and boys incarcerated in
his reforma DRY.
These men are taught to do all
.inds of useful labor. They do their
.wn cooking, washing aud mending.
they learn tailoring and shoemaking.
I was interesting to see them all eat
~ at once Imagine, if you can,
leyen hundred men all eating at
nee. q
\ special car was provided free by
be Louisville and Jacksonville
raction company. The inmates of 4
hi, reformatory do not wear stripes
he ordinary criminals, but are pro-
ded with nice properly fitting uni
rms.
The institution is in fine shape :
ID we think il is a great deal better
keep these boys away from the
.rdened criminal. He is taught to al
e the right side of things. A GER
in per cent. of their earnings are Ii
/ aside to be given to them when ia
cir term expires. IN
At / 80 we returned to Louisville of
red and hungry. The afternoon
ssion was devoted to a discussion "a
the duties OF the District Superin- A
ndent. The discussion was led by W
RS. +. l.. Evans, followed by |. Ii,
Bruner, Rev. Marion johnson,
Iowa, and Mr. Williams, of New cl
srsey. Mrs. Webb read a fine IL
per on placing children.
DR.. Barlow, of Michigan, provoked 9,
criticism by declaring ca
al it is unwise, undigni6ed and D
,godly to appeal to people in the c.
,ual way for funds. We think he
quite radical. The work Of the b
ciety is g noble work and no doubt n
i'll grow until every state in the
MON will be organized.
People who are unacquainted with
lie uplifting and humanizing inau- o
ice Of the Children's Home Society I,
, not appreciate its worth as they c
,ould. The fact that the First A
rand Prize was awarded the Nation :,
Children's Home Society at the I,
t. Louis Fair is enough to convince
lie most skeptical that this is the d
reatest institution on earth for car &
y for homeless and neglected chill &
rem.

Criminal Court.

AT Pennington ON Tuesday prisoners
indicted by the late Grand Jury on
tered their pleas and received SEN
tence.
Among them were Charles Pidcock
aud Samuel Price for stealing metal
from the Lambertyile Rubber Com
pany, each fined $50. Judge Connect
in his sentence was certainly not very
severe, and the officers of the Com
pany and others are somewhat sur
prised that they were dealt with so
leniently. Both were employed in
positions where they were supposed
to be trustworthy and had received
many favors. The value Of goods
stolen by them at various times must
have amounted TO hundreds of dollars,
and the circumstances under which
they were detected aggravated their
offence.

We print the following item which
may be timely warning TO many
farmers in this county;
Lightning men have been work
ing among the farmers hereabouts
and the charge is made that they have
secured contracts under which farm
ers must pay exorbitant rates. One
clause i'll the contracts provides that
the company, which is unknown, will
be responsible for all damages up to
5000 on buildings struck by lightning
after the rods have been placed on the
buildings. IL is said that this same
gang have been operating in New
York and Pennsylvania.

There are very few men in our
town however Indifferent to the claims
Of Christianity, who would want to
rear their family hero if there were
no churches or church influence, for
they at once recognize them as the
guardians of the morals of the com
munlty. What would be the condi-
ton of this community Mt the end of
the next ten years il from this time
until then the churches were closed?
To what extent would life and prop
erty be safeP And yet, with all the
organized agencies of the churches,
the devil too frequently holds high
carnival. What might we not expect
if wholly Invested of these good in
iluencea?

We are informed That there have
been over two hundred more deeds
recorded in the County Clerks Office
from the irst Of January TO the first
Of September, this year, than there
were for the corresponding time last

proved condition Of the real estate
market in this county, and an in
creased demand for farming property
which is most gratifying.
