Who started the vile lie upon its
way?
Why, you did, You heartleSS aSSaS-
sin of regulations! You CHANGED upon
the sweet morsel of untruth. You rolled
it around under your tongue, cunningly
embellished it and then passed it on
to some wretch as heartless and de-
PRAYED as yourself, who added a quote
of lies and dealt it out to an ever wiC-
ening circle of thOughtless fools who
did their duty as they saw il. You
much-raker You creature of the
slime, you were the very center of this
concentric circles of SANDER that have
widened and enlarged until they have
reached remote cities and towns.
Why did you do it? This is why, Be:
cause you are favorite child Of the
Devil, Prince Of Liars, and you wish
to convince people that others are
just as bad as you. Had you not passed
that lie Oh. you would have choked.
If you had not retouched it and color
ed it, you would have died of jaundice.
You are member of the church and
you are always ready to fly into the
face of anyone who says aught against
your belief, but the spirit of Christ
has never entered your heart nor the
sermon on the Mount addressed itself
to your understanding.
If your remarks could have been
confined to those who know you they
would not have hurt so much, for
what you say about your acquaintance
cannot be worse than what your fam
lily says about you. But remarks can
not be confined to circumscribed linn
I its.
! A young girl takes position as a
stenogIapher. Who smirched her rep
utation? You, you harry. If you did
not do it with a blatant lie you did it
with Shrug of the shoulder or toss
of the head. Why did you do it? She
is better than you. She is self.sus-
tanning, independent, clear eyed,
thoughtful, chaste. And you? You
are a slattern evil minded shrew, de.
pendent upon some one gallused igno-
ramus for your victualS and clothes.

A HEAVY LOSS.
CampbensviIle Visited by a De-
structive Fire, and a Number
Of Business Houses Go Up
in Flames.
WATER BRIGADE DID WHAT IT COULD.

Our neighboring town, Campbells-
vile, sustained another great loss by
fire last Tuesday night, and the peo-
pie of Columbia are in sympathy with
the losers. An eye witness states
that at one time it looked like the
whole of Main street was doomed to
destruction. j. II. Gowdy's livery
stable, w. L. Meader's residence and
the Methodist church had a close call.
A dispatch from Campbellsville gives
the following account of the confia-
grafton.
Fire, which broke out shortly after
IL o'clock last night and burned for
about four hours, destroyed large
part of the business section of Camp
bellsville, causing a loss of between
$40, 900 and $4,000.
{ The chief loser by the flames is G..
HI. Gowdy, one of the wealthiest citi-
zens of Campbellsville, who owned
nearly all the buildings destroyed and
who had no insurance.
The buildings burned included D.
B. Edwards grocery, the Campbells-
vile Motor Garage, Hodgens' barber
shop, D. J. Skaggs' grocery; T. E.
Hoskins, dry goods; the Campbellsville
Telephone Exchange: Hoard & Hall,
hardware, and J. Meader's residence
Some damage was done to other build
ings. No one was injured, but the
scarcity of water made it difficult to
fight the flames.
CampbellSville'S new water works
are now in process of construction, but
the plant is not near enough to COM
pletion to be used, in connection with
a fire.
The News Journal Campbellsville
gives the losses, as near a 5 can
obtain them, about as follows:
T. E. Hoskins g. Co., loss on build
ing and stock of goods, $4,000; insur-
ance $1,000
B. j. SkaggS, loss on goods, about
$1,000; insurance 81 900. A new stock
of goods has just been received.
Tom Hodgen had the good fortune
to have about all of his furniture, etc.,
removed. The bath plant fixtures and
some articles were burned, but the
loss is covered by insurance.
D. B. Edwards, in whose place was
also stock of paints, window glass,
ETC., belonging to Edwards & Phillips
loss about ST, 500; insurance on grocer
les, $500, on paints, $500.
Hord & Hall, loss on hardware stock
and blacksmith shop, about So, 900;
insurance $4,000.
Campbellsville Telephone Co., To-
Gated over Hord & Hall loss 81, 500;
insurance $1,000.
The Campbellsville Motor Car Co
removed its machines and other val
uables, with the exception of about
$50 worth of things.
The buildings occupied by Tom
Hodgen, B. J. Skaggs, Hord & Hall,
Campbellsville Motor Car Co., and the
vacant room, known as the Gowdy
Block, was the property of Geo. H.
Gowdy and was total loss to him, as
he carried no insurance. 1t is estimat.
ed that his loss will be about SIS, 900.

Christian Unity was manifested in
Columbia last Wednesday night, when
representative of all the denomina-
lions of the town met in the Metho-
dist church in the capacity of a union
prayer meeting. There were num-
Der of interesting talks and the true
spirit of Christianity seemed to per-
meate the whole congregation. We
believe that such meetings are calcu-
lated to do much good, and if union
gatherings were held oftener in our
opinion they would be largely attend

on prohibition In the house showed
that the Republican party is liquor
