The little country school that has
only 10 Or IS children naturally does
not ges many books but the few il

fine nucleus for larger library, and

Stcvenson's Treasure Island" also
appears to be a favorite. These viii
serve to illustrate the kind Of books
that are ordered for the libraries,
and one can imagine with what
avidity they will be read BY the
young folks,
A copy Of "Plutarch's Lives" an
abridged edition, was also among
them, and one noted that it was ex-
ceedingly poorly bound so poorly
that II looked as II II would not
stand the least Bit Of rough usage. On
the contrary some Of the volumes
were fairly well bound, but the *.
ceptions were painfully apparent.

NIGHT RIDERS.

From all sections that have suf-
fered from the modern ku-kIuX
desperations come the reports that
officers are doing their full duty,
bringing the vicious to answer be-
fore the courts. This was pre-
dicted. this we knew was newt
able. Some are fleeing from the
peuitentiary while others have 4
horrible dread Of the gallows.
Whoever these criminals may be
should be bounded down and made

doings, but that the laws may bC
vindicated, that a recurrence OF
such criminal acts may be dreac
to vicious perpetrators.

NEW DEPOT.

The old depot has been con-
dcmned for the reason it is'iilthy.
because negroes and whites are
forced to'occupy the same apart
ments. because there is no privacy.
because it is'unseemly and Qnkept,
because it is not adequate to the
amount Of patronage bestowed and
because the city is but little, with
the present quarters, in advance Of
those who do not have any at all.
Mt. Sterling deserves the best
treatment, has waited lone, and
the buildings should be as slightly
as any on the road, if business j,
to he taken into the count 1t is a
fine attractive depot we need, one
that willabc in keeping with pro

not be as much considered rs the

GOVERNMENT
r BUILDING.

The glad news. an appropriation
of $4,000 to be used in putting
up a Government building for Mt.
Sterling has made many glad
hearts. On our rounds we hear
the deserved credit bestowed on
the committee from the CONNER
cial Club. the Club itself and much
TO Congressman Langley. This is
building greatly needed and we
are sure it will be appreciated in
the highest degree. With the
present building impetus, the rail
roaj and Government auxiliary,
Mt. Sterling will have a building
boom which may continue for scy-
eral years to come. The lniirmary
project, the school building and M
opera house are to be valuable adj.
juncts. starters for days Of great
prosperity. Are we sufficiently
united to be prepared for it,

CAN'T BE TALKATINE NOW

venture anything Of the kind since
Saturdays. precinct contentious.
W. o. Bradley has said Of 1t:
:'Louisville's conduct beats n.
Bradley would not have thus de-
livered himselfw without knowledge.
Others have said it was even worse
than whatI.made Music Hall ia
nous. There is talk Of indigna-
ton meetings. What will come
out of itsonly the future will dis
close. Republicans are not given
to 50 much of a spirit Of resent
ment as are the Democrats and
may pout awhile and then take
their medicine. but if the conduct
at the district convention were one
half as bad as is reported, the bet
ter element will demand honest
treatment and will either get it or
