The friends of Messrs. Doub and Black

in reimbursement of their patriotic ser
vices in obtaining the removal of the

Perhaps the county should indemnify
them.

ran for the nomination for State Senator

Not ouly so-the party put up Mr.,
Dick who held that the ''ditferential"
seemed to be unmentionable.
Then the people retired Mr.. Dick
mostly for reasons alien to his retiring
"ditferential disposition.
As IA matter of fact, outside of Mr..
Doub and the JOURNAL nearly every
body and the other newspapers silently
acquicsced with Mr.. Dick in his view
that the "ditferential' was no great
shakes anyway.
As a popular blessing its removal comes
in answer to no popular prayer.
But probably the attorneys should be
paid for their unsought labor.

ORIGINAL POETRY

lis a lovely little village,
With the houses all so white
When we see the street-car going
Up and down the highway pike.
We hear the COW bells tinklng
In the early sunny morn
And we walk along the roadside
And see the waving corn.
The people are a thrifty class j.
Besides working in the mine
Each has his little garden-patch,
And has good food all the time.
| did not write this poem
To win the pair of shoes,
But if it's worthy of them,
Why, of course, I'll not refuse.
If shall grow to be a man,
And still live in this town,
| will write something of it
Worthy of its great renown.

The increasing rate of suicide has caused a country editor to do some serious thinking, and here's what he says: At the present writing we have no desire to leave this vale of tears and hurl our selves into Abraham's bosom, but if we should desire to do so, we wouldn't lean up against 8 loaded shotgun and then pull the trigger, as many do. Neither would we eat a solid meal of rough-on-rats, blow out the gas, drink eoncen- trated lye, sit down in the lap of 8 buzz-saw, smoke cigarettes or call a Kentuckian a liar or poor judge of whiskey. We would simply get out an edition of our paper in which we would strive to the best of our ability to print the plain square-toed truth about every thing and then calmly await the end
