''The new City Council will be
indicted into office the first Tues
day in December. If we remember
Alright they take a solemn oath to
uphold law and order and do the
best possible for Richmond. If
they take this oath and have the
correct idea, we believe they will
put all purely personal conSid-
ations behind them and select the
beSt-ftted men for the various
places. This thing of imagining
that public office is a private snap
instead of a public trust has been
the cause Of the ruin of thousands
of men morally as well as politi-
cally. The only politician who
achieves real success, retaining
his self-reSpect and the real res
pect of his fellows, is the one
that has clean IDEAS ana honest
intentions"
In the above article, we change
the word "HarrodSburg" to Rich
mond and let it so.
Our officers-elect are tried men
and their reelection without op-
position was highly compliment
airy to them.
If we will all try hard to help
them instead of knocking on
them, we will get better results
and all will go "as merry as a
wedding feast"

Good Sense In This

Elkanah Pigg of Madison county
is no hog, but he is managing to
accumulate a goodly share of this
worlds goods by judicious effort.
The Winchester Democrat says
Mr.. Pigg moved to Madison-co.
from Clark twenty five years ago,
and at that time ''he had a blind
horse, 500 in cash and bis wife"
According to the same authority,
''he has by thrift and energy gath
cred together 400 acres of land
and owns a large amount of Bank
stock" Only a few days ago he
brought 600 bushels of apples to
Winchester to sell and he always
has a big apple crop, if the season
is anywhere near a fair one. We
hail Elkanah Pigg as a wise
farmer. 1t he had stuck to tobacco
and ignored other crops, as many
farmers have done, he probably
would have had a blind horse and
a wife yet, but he wouldn't have
had much, if any, more cash than
when he moved to Madison
county aquarter of a century ago.

A Change in the Constitution
Proposed

A bill providing for a state
board of education composed of
eleven members, and looking to a
change in the constitution, will
be introduced in the next session
of the Legislature. The bill pro-
poses to pay the members of the
board $4,000 and will pay the
county superintendent $2,500.00.
This is one of the freaks that
will be thrown promptly into the
waste basket, where it properly
belongs.
