Why Is II?

The Blue Grass Clipper publishes the
following item which is applicable to
this as well as all other towns:
We notice the people attending pub
lie entertainments have no hesitancy in
taking front seats, in fact, there is a
general rush for them and usually a
higher price is willingly paid for the
privilege. We also notice that in
church the custom is right the reverse,
the back seats are crowded and if there
are any empty pews they are always
between the preacher and the people,
and the glad tidings of salvation lose
half their charms in having to bound
over empty pews to reach the audience
Why this should be the custom is not
exactly clear to us. unless in the latter
instance position is taken according to
scripture, the lowest place first in order
to be invited higher.

and the people throughout Adair Coun-
ty: Rev. T. L. Hulse, who has been tn
presiding elder in this district for the

A YalIer Dogs Love For a Niger.

There's a grave by the side of yor
stream
That bears not the flowers of May,
For he who was left there to dream,
Was only nigger-they say.
They dug hole and chucked him away
The poor, obedient old slave,
Not prayer for him did any one say;
But his dog laid down on his grave.
And there he was seen from day to day,
At morning, at evening, at noon;
And no inducement could call him away
From his place, on the grave of the
coon.
A very fine monument stands quite
nigh,
But to me this mound looks bigger
For there's a monument money can't
buy,
IT'S yaller dogs love for nigger.

A Successful Revival.

A friend of the News sends in the
following account of revival recently
held at West fork and requests it's pub.
LEGATION. Hesays:
1t was conducted by Revs. Wells and
Mickey and their wives, travelling evan
gelists from Lawson's Bottom. The
community has been greatly benefited
by their ten days meeting. That they
are servants of God, and mean to do
His will there is no doubt. There is
one thing certain, during their stay at
this place they aroused more interest in
religious matters than all the preach
ers have for many years. During this
meeting there were larger crowds pres
ent than were ever seen at this place be-
fore. and the best of order prevailed.
Fifty-eight confessed faith in Christ.
The donation amounted to over forty
dollars. From this place they vert to
Adair county, where they are now con-
Quoting a meeting. If there is not
some good done, it will not be any fault
of theirs. Every body in this vicinity
Is anxious to have them come again.
For many years there has not been
Such tearing down of sin
And upbuilding of religion
AS has been in West Fork region.
They that were sinners when it began
MANY of them still remain)
But half hundred and some more
Are awaiting Heavens door
To open and to let them in
From this world of crime and sin.
1t was plain that the grace of God
Was scattered every where abroad
And just little must be said
Of the dinners that were spread.
They were served on the church ground
And something finer is seldom found
Of course we wish to say
That the Christians all did pray
For every thing both great and small
But such dinners suit us all.

There was a great deal of excite
ment in the neighborhood of Ozark
last week, a report having gained
circulation that wild man was in that
vicinity. We are informed that Satur-
day of last week fifty men were out
looking for him. Some of the more
thoughtful neighbors put their heads
together and they concluded that there
has been no occasion for alarm. The
theory now is. as we learn from
resident of that community, that some
school children became alarmed az a
traveller passing.

British Boxers Names That Hit the
 Funny-BOne.

''Mitts'', innocent reader, are gloves horsehair f1appers, wehers, sleep ln- ducers or claret tappers, just as the gentlemen of the ring who wear and wield them are pleased to call them It may be grim business when a cou- pie of these gentlemen don the .mitts' square up and prepare to battle for the championshop of, say, Mudlake Wharf; but out of the ring they are humorists of the first water. They ohaff one another through the medium of newspaper sporting columns in a manner which must make the old Lon- don cabman green with envy.
 eff Chicken Cherry is fully recovered from the sleep I forcfbly induced him to have six months ago perhaps he would like a return match for a side stake of E10 with yours, sobligingly, Wullie Wal1op.''
 Such was the war cry of one em- bryo Jack Johnson published in a sporting paper some time ago, to whicf the Chicken replied to the effect that when he could see the color of Wul- lies money he would get to busi- ness"
 Many enthusiastic sportsmen will doubtless echo the sentiments of Ban tam Johnny, whose patience appa- rently having been exhausted by ar guments with an elusive opponent re- piled:
 "shut the clap-trap and talkee- taakee I am boxer, not a politician Don't quibble. Box if you want te box, but don't think you can."
 The Putney Puncher was equally tc the point when he suggested that he was willing to put up bottle of ink and an ounce of throat pasti1les as a consolation prize for the. loser in a match between himself and Jappo, ad- ding that the latter would require them when fixing up his next match.
 This reminds one of an amusing par agraph = burlesQue. apparently, on challenges which are daily published which appeared recently in that inter estimg paper Boxing, which is devot- ed to the sport of the ring. "Dave Solomon, the Galway Champion" ran the paragraph twill box J. Lazarus, the Killarney Kid, return match and will stake a box of razors to a bottle of kosher ShOck-a-1orries on the result.''

Seeking Son Of
 Ba|fe, Composer
 Of Bohemian Girl

New York, Sept. 1.-Believing that her father, Michael William Balfe, son of the composer of the opera, ''Bo- ,hemian Girl" has returned to this country after being missing for more than twenty-three years, Mrs. Victor la Balfe has been making a vigorous search for him in the musical and drama tic circles of this city and Chi cago.
 Mrs. Balfe, who lives at No. 43 Van Nostrand avenue. Jersey City, has not heard anything from her father since he returned to London in 1888 to seek fortune said to have been left him by his mother, who received a com potency in royalties from "The Bohe- milan Girl,' and about thirty-one oth- CT operas and cantatas.
 MT. Balfe'S wife died a few months after he went to England and no word was received from him after he had been notified of her death. Friends informed the daughter that he had lost his reason temporarily and would not return to the United States until he recovered.
 Soon after her fathers departure for England, Mrs. Balfe was married, but after the death of her husband she resumed her maiden name of Victoria Balfe, so her father might find her if he returned. For years she has be- Heved that he would do SO, because of his fondness for her as his only child She still is confident that if he is in this country he will make a thor ough search for her, as he promised years ago. -.l A-s. ..-
