Just a few words to those desir-
ing mason work done of any kind.
The bottom has fallen out of the
prices you used to pay. You can
now have your houses plastered
for 8 cents per yard, two coats,
and your sidewalks, the old style
with cheap John bottoms and a
top one-half sand and one-half
cement for 7 cents per square foot
or the better one for 10 cents a
foot. That is, made all alike from
the top to the bottom, and no top
to scale off. Get a good one once
and you won't have to build again.
Cellars concreted very reasonable
and other kinds of mason work,
such as stone, brick or concrete
foundations, bungalows, chimneys
and %cisterns, SO any one can have
q good one and anybody wanting
a square deal call on X. s. Honey.

quests were ignored. The County
Court made this order on the
Bank of Ironton in June last, and
you as Presiding Judge of said
Court appeared to be in favor of
the order. This order was to be
obeyed at once, so that the aud
itors complete their report by the
August term. When the County
Court met in August this order
had not been obeyed and the
checks were not turned over to me
until after the adjournment of the
Court. Why did you as President
of the Bank of Ironton, the Coun-
ty Depository, thus evade and dis
obey an order made by the Court
of which you are the Presiding
Judge? Where is your chief duty?
Is it to the people or the Bank of
Ironton? know that you pose as
a friend of the common people and
if you ever aid n of the common
people your own individual in
terests follow closely on this act.
Your scent of a dollar is as keen
and as unerring as the nose of a
setter pup in the grouse field.
This action on your part, however,
is on a par with your other official
acts. You vote as Presiding Judge
of the County Court to make the
Bank of which you are President
the County Depositary. You as
Presiding Judge of the County
Court pass on the validity of a
bond given by the institution of
which you T President in abso-
lutte defiance of the law, and are
the first and foremost to sit on the
street corners and criticise me and
other Democratic off cials. Again,
when my checks are returned to
me, | find that many of them do
not show on their face the date
when paid by the Bank of Iron
ton. The date of payment should
be stamped on the face of the
check. Have you failed to mark
the date of payment as President
of the Bank of Ironton because the
County Court has ordered an au-
dit of the report of the Bank of
Ironton of their interest on daily
balances? If the checks are not
marked paid on the date when
paid, it may cut some ice as to
the interest paid on daily ball
ances.
Please explain things to me. /
appeal from Caesar, as Presiding
Judge of the County Court, to
Caesar as President of the Bank
of Ironton, the County Depository,
for information along this line. A
man so prone to insinuate charges
of dishonesty to political rivals
should be always able and ready
to read his own title clear.
You make a proposition for the
auditors appointed by the County
Court to meet the auditors en-
ployed by you, at the September
term of the County Court; you
then say sue can soon determine
who is highland "let the party
who is wrong pay the costs in
Cured"
You say, we can determine.
Who will constitute the wes You
have already confessed that by
reason of the fact of your age and
infirmity you are incompetent to
pass upon this question; and by
of your confession could
not be q component part of the we.
Therefore you would be entirely
dependent upon the report of your
own auditors, who have already
filed their report, and such a meet
ing would be useless.

by no means complete, but il
should be sufficient to call fol
some serious thought, on the part
of the upright members of his
church, even against the egg
throwing which has aroused their
righteous indignation. The REG.
ISTER, heart and soul-if a Demo-
GRAFT may have a soul-joins with
them in their denunciation of the
crime and my slender purse yet
holds a $50 bill to reward the man
who unearths the sacreligious
scoundrel who perpetrated that
crime.
And my showing of this mans
hypocrisy and ~falsehood, and my
denunciation of his calumnies,
led to the egg-throwing some two
weeks ago! 1t is to be taken, l
presume, that no matter the
atrocity of the offense given,
no notice must be taken of it, lest
some miscreant commit an out
rage! Now, I have my theory in
regard to the despicable occur
renee at the Baptist church. 1t is
this: that no enemy of DR.. SDifts
threa0 those eggs! Certainly, no one
could have done him a greater
service, or have devised a slicker
scheme whereby to invest him with
the crown of Christian martyrdom.
Again, a member of his congre-
cation was present prepared to
prefer charges of uncanonical con-
duct against the pastor, and the
breaking up of that meeting be-
fore they could be laid before it
was to his advantage, and his
alone. Understand me: l do not
say that he was known to the fact
that the eggs would be thrown;
but a man may have an over-zeal-
GUS friend, you know. | have a
shrewd suspicion herein, but it
does not lie within the province of
a wicked, unregenerate layman to
assert that which he does not
know to be true. That preroga-
tive seems to attach solely TO one
arrayed in the livery of heaven.
AS to the charges in Mrs. Thorn
toms circular hold no brief for
her and only say what the COM
munity is saying-those charges
are either true or false. If false, a
suit for criminal libel ought
have closely followed their publi-
cation; if true, they render the
pastor unfit to enter a decent
much less to minister to
men-or women-in holy office.
Yes, | plead guilty to having at
sundry times "abused" the vari.
