A party of men who are in
terested in the proposed pipe line
which was recently surveyed
through this county and which ex-
tends from the gas fields of Loui-
siana, to st. Louis, a distance of
more than 500 miles, stayed over
Friday night in Centerville, de-
parting next morning for Potosi.
The promoters of this pipe line,
if that is what it is, are doing very
little talking, but enough was
learned to warrant us in stating
that some of those in the party
were contractors who were view
ing the character of the country
and otherwise familiarizing them
selves with the survey prepara-
tory to accepting contracts for
laying the line. 1t was also learned
that they have secured the names
of the record owners of all the
land through which the survey
runs, in this state, at least, except
in Carter county, so that the &C.
curing of a right of way can be
taken up at any time. The survey
passes through the following
counties in this state; Oregon,
Carter, Reynolds, Iron, Washing
ton, Jefferson and st. Louis.-Cen-
terrible Outlook.

Why is it that your professional,
itinerant Temperance lecturer is
not content with presenting his
side of the case coolly, logically
and dispassionately? Does he
hold that he can honestly earn
his pay only by INDUCING in ex-
travagance, personality and vi
tuperation? He usually treats his
listeners with a lot of shop-worn,
notification, anecdote, and APP
peals to their sense of self-right-
eousness rather than the humility
and self-accusation that uplift all
men in charity with their neigh
bors. He comes into a strange
community with no personal
knowledge of the character, life
and daily walk of the men and
women composing it, and inso-
lently denounces them for the re-
lations they hold to one another
striving to set them by the ears
all in the name of God and
morality. Processing to serve Him
of Nazareth, he is not content
with His precept and example, but
adds thereto, and sends into ever.

not bow down in obedience to his

one of those travelling gentry here
last week-a soi-disdnt Episcopal
clergyman. By local request the
REGISTER gave due notice of his
coming: gave it freely and cheer

this paper because, forsooth, it
carries an advertisement of Bud
weiser beer! Broad : minded
wasn't it? This paper might stand
for a thousand commendable
objects-give cheer to the sorrow
ing, strength to the faltering, good
counsel to the doubling, uphold
honor and honesty in men and
women-but our temperance (?)
advocate would sweep all aside to
make room for the one thing he is
paid for advocating, just as | am
