Just Be Glad

O., heart of mine, we shouldn't
Worry so.
What we have missed of calm we couldnf
Have you know.
What we've met of stormy pain
And of sorrows driving rain
We can better meet again,
If it blow
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known;
When the tears fell with the showers
Ali alone.
Were not shine and shower blent
AS the gracious Master ment?
Let us temper our content
With His own.
For we know not every morrow
Can be sad;
So forgetting all the sorrow
We have had
Let US fold away our fears,
And put away our foolish tears,
And through all the coming years
Just be glad

IRVINE NEWS

Messrs. E. C. and ]. B. Wilson,
of Etawah, Tenn, are in Irvine
looking to some large real estate
deals. They spoke very highly OF
Irvine and expect it to be a city of
some five or six thousand in the
next few years. They are extensive
real estate dealers, and have had
much experience in laying out sub
divisions.
Last Tuesday near Irvine, Ben
Davidson was shot and killed by
his cousin Green Davidson.
The shooting accured at the
house of the latter, but the cause
of the trouble is not known.
The bullet entered near the
head and entered the cavity caus-
ing much suffering from which
the victim was not relieved until
it was ended by death.
The Irvine Sun, which recently
commenced publication at Irvine
under the management of John
w. Walker, has suspended pub
LEGATION. Mr.. Walker was a very
careful and conscientious writer,
and enjoyed the tripod, but lack
of support caused the paper to
suspend.
County Clerk, C. T. Grinstead,
has offered a reward of $1,000, for
the arrest and conviction of the
parties who broke into the County
Clerks office and stole the ballots
from the Riddell precinct. These
ballots will effect the recent cleo
ton in Estill county and will also
effect the election in the Circuit
Judges race.

"TWO'S COMPANY, FOUR'S
A CROWD"

Our venerable contemporary,
w. P. Walton, in his valedictory
fires a parting shot at the Madi-
Sonian, and generously informs
the public that there are too
many newspapers in the city of
Richmond. We have been re-
called some three or four times
during the run of our short ex
perience by suggestions of this
kind emenating from the same
source. If the Climax believes
that there are too many newspa-
pers here, and that all of them
are starving to death, let it grace
fully fold its wings and retire
from the arena.
But we have no fuss with our
brethren of the Climax. They
have treated us with the greatest
courtesy, and we esteem them
our friends, and we hope to see
the Climax wax stronger and do
a great good for this community
in the future as it has in the
past. And we can say the same
for the Register and the Panta-
graph, with both of whom we
have the most cordial and pleas
ant relations.
Our entry into the field was
not to impose a burden on the
public, and we have not done
so. We have attended strictly
to our business, never informed
ding with others, having the ut
most good will for, and desiring
the success not only Of the pa
pers here, but also of the Citizen
at Berea.
There are not too many papers
in Madison county, and the peo-
pie will stand in their own light
to try to kill off any one of them.
We heard the same old cry when
the second bank was started in
Madison county, and then it
again was vociferated when the
third one started, and the cry
was echoed and re-echoed when
the fourth one begun. When we
came to Richmond eighteen
years ago, we had these four
strong banking institutions. Since
then there have been two banks
started in Berea, one in Waco,
one in Paint Lick, one at Kinks
vile and one at Valley View, and
all of these banks are doing well
and are accomplishing great
good for the county of Madi.
son.
We heard the same criticism
when recently one tobacco ware
house was established here,
carping critics saying that il
would be short lived and would
be swallowed up by the tobacco
trust. When the second one
started, the same old cry wa:
heard; and now when we have
in the course of erection one Of
the largest tobacco warehouse:
which will open its doors on the
oath for business, we still hear
the old cry none of them can de
any good. At the same time
they are all prospering and are
all accomplishing for the county
of Madison untold good.
The people who cry agains
progress are the only real enc
mics to the betterment of oul
country.
We trust that we may hear M
more of the cry that there is tot
much of any good thing that i
looking to the betterment AM
progress of our city and county.

TLLMAN CRITICISES BRYAN.
Says Secretary of State Should Quit

(New York Herald, 10TH }


Senator Tillman, who confesses
that at one time he made $4,000 a

vacations Of Congress, said he never
had neglected his official duties to
fill lecture engagements. He re-
gretted Mr.. Bryan's devotion to the
platform.
cit is a perfectly legitimate way
to make money" he said, "but | re-
greet to hear Of Mr.. Bryan doing it.
Just at this time, when there is so
much important work before his de-
partment, | would prefer to have
him stay in Washington. He could
better afford to impoverish himself
than to appear to neglect his official
duties.
"The impression prevails-though
| don't know how we'll founded it is
that Mr.. Bryan has made a great
deal of money since 1896. He has
published two or three books, owns
The Commoner, which has a wide
circulation, and has lectured extern
sively. I love the man so much
hate to see him do anything that
VIII belittle him in the eyes Of the
people as this certainly will do.
While his speaking tours will serve
a good purpose in that he always
breaches true democracy and patri-
otism and Christian living, he can
never again appear as a Knight er-
rant Of democracy"
