What's the matter with Hartfor
having a general cleanup day RICH
soon?
The Tobacco Trust has also beel
ordered to dissolve. And now wei
all take snuff.
II was supposed we had a prett!
hot time in Kentucky during the
latter part of May. But the Re.
publican State Convention is yet tC
come.
Control of the party machinery in
Kentucky is more coveted by GER
tain Republican leaders than the
nomination and election of a Gov
ernor. Hence all this scrapping in
G. o. .. ranks.
Col. c. VI. Barnett, senior editor
of the Hartford Republican, has
been chosen as Judge O'Rear's cam
paign manager, with headquarters
in Louisville. Hard to break away
from the scenes of official life.
That loose macadam rock lying
on some of Hartfords streets might
be put in cold storage and saved I'M
til next winter. Then we'll need 1t
and it can be put back in the mid
die of the road, where il came from.
An Evansville, IndD man has in
vented a fre-proof treatment for
paper money which he hopes to sell
to the Government. Yet this will
not make it any easier for misers
to take it with them when they go
hence.
The Board of Health is a safe
guard against sickness in every
community where its services are
obtainable. Its members should be
allowed every consideration and
privilege in performing their duty,
so necessary to the health and well
fare of a community.
Hartford is fast assuming city
airs. Our baseball games are play
ed out on the grounds and then YER
bally played over again by the local
fans assembled in front OF the
stores at the twilight hour. The
second playing is sometimes more
exciting than the first.
An eminent physician of Phila-
delphia says that kissing ought to
be prohibited by law, because it is
dangerous. The doctor is about
right. Many a fellow has been rop-
ed into the arena of matrimony by
this method who would have been
safe but for this risky habit.
It comes AZ a dead secret from
numerous directions, ostensibly Re-
publican in sentiment, that Franks
is making his fight on O'Rear with
the purpose that neither of them
shall be nominated, resulting in the
selection of Lieut.. Gov. Cox. A
pretty smooth scheme, with fine
chances Of coming true, O., ---
he SIldll Ol6lutlt NhVi blOuShN
into court and convicted of crime
or offense against his country, is
usually not given a season of
months TO reorganize his plan of
operations, but gets his" right
there. It's different. however, with
the trusts and big corporations.
The difference is-oh, well, a few
million dollars.
II has been nearly fifty years
since the close of the Civil War and
no body of men fought more va
liantly in that terrible conflict than
the famous Orphan Brigade. There
are only a few-less than a dozen
of these erstwhile brave fighters
left in Ohio county. Why not have
a reunion of these few here at Hart
ford soon-a meeting in which all
the citizens of the county could par
ticipate?
