retraction We appreciate the many expressions of sym
pahy approval admire the plain words by the other

The Gazette says OF July 20
1.-The ADVOCATE is a hot number this week 1t dis
cusses been made against it's editor
because of alleged reflection of the officers of the
city.
1T strikes us that somebody's bluff has been called good
and strong Editor Trimbe does not mince words, and
threats and denuncaton anybody that he
is wrong fact that certain places in this
city whisky sold stencil in the nosris of the
community where crimes have been and being commit
ted The City Council has the undoubed right under the
arbitrarily without waiting for investga
tons indictments by grand ures It has not fit to
and therefore it is subject to legitimate criticism
The present City Council elected reform platform
Let it begin work it will be heartily supported by
the good people of the community The people in
mood for any fooshness sdesteppng They want the
law enforced expect the officials do it, without fear
favor If they do it, they will have answer the
people,"
The Sentinel-De says July 49,
"The editors of the ADVOCATE have had a wonderful
awakening on civic righteousness since they ceased
do the City printing There is in Mt Sterling sell
ing of whiskey on Sunday there gambling There
MI nd
engaged business who here year the
ADVOCATE had nothing say about these parties there
has been change of Administration and also change of
heart
For the information of the ADVOCATE: Allen Bros
who were arrested charged with suffering gaming waived
examining and held to the Circuit Court
awaiting the action of the September Grand Jury The
presumes innocent until proven guilty The attention
o the ADVOCATE called to Section 1867 KY Statutes
P H. Davis arrested for keeping disordery house. Mr.
Trimbe one of editors of the ADVOCATE witness
and after full hearing Davis acquitted Bob Carter
in Jail awaiting examining trial for the shooting in Davis
saloon And Geo Bowen the party who is alleged have
run the game Davis is under by virtue of
rant issued from the Mt Sterling Police Court AS the
BOYS Codirons claimed have bought whskey in Mt
Sterling they taken all by the police and
failed to identify single house We believe that
if these parties guilty of permitting gambling their
premises running dsorderly houses selling to minors
they punished the fullest extent of the law
they entitled the doubt until they faced by their
accusers and convicted We also believe that city Off
done everything possible to enforce the law and
punish the guilty We believe in fair play The city
horties right these guilty before
proven So
