FRIEND IN NEED.

Mr.. William F. Miller, of Lancaster.
has just sent the editor of The Mes
senger large and extra fine Garrard
county cob pipe. These pipes have a
wide reputation. as they are. unques-
tionably. the best in the world. Any
old pipe smoker can appreciate the
value of a pipe made of the right
grade of cob, as it is seldom one is
found hard enough to make the right
kind of pipe. -Danville Messenger.
Billy thought some of those pipe
dreams" of Bangs regarding Dan
vile Hotel might come true if he
used Garrard County pipe.

fine EXAMPLE.

At the ripe age of SO. one of the
patriarchs down in Allen County is
buying and setting out fruit trees.
What a splendid example the old chap
is setting. He may not eat of the
fruit, but his good works will follow
him and the succeeding generation. if
they are worth their ssk, will do honor
to his memory. 1t takes a wise and
strong man to look ahead and plan for
the future when oppressed with the
burden of eighty odd years. We take
off our hat to him and hope that he
may be able to plant tree on the day
of his hundreth birthday anniversary.

A UNIFORM PRICE AGREED
UPON BY DOCTORS.

From what We stated in recent is
sue some have a rived at the erroneous
conclusion thal the doctors intended
increasing the. tates TO an exorbitant
degree. This J. not ,he case. The
profession Of G4r,ord county has agreed
upon uniform ANA reasonable schedule
of charges which, = are ia honor bound
to observe. The lees have not been
materially advance and the increase
will not work hare alp upOa anyone
and will benefit the Procession by cut
ting out under bidding. 1t is an indis-
putable fact that the public generally
only pay for medical services out Of
any surplus that may remain after set
thing with the merchant and grocers.
The principle is wrong and the doctors
are going to try to remedy the evil by
educating the people to pay them
promptly. When farmer delivers his
tobacco, corn or wheat he expects. and
gets the cash. Why should not the
doctor be paid the same way?
The medical profession is united and
well organized. The Devils poor"
will, hereafter. receive no consideration
and Gods poor"will not be neglected.
Those who can pay and wont, those
who are slow but will try to pay. and
those who are good and prompt will
hereafter be known of all the profession
and rated accordingly. We are print
ing schedule Of fees for the Garrard
County Medical Society and when fin
ished a copy will be posted in con-
spicious place in every doctors office in
the county and in this way you may
know just what you will have to pay
for services in the future.

for them. Little self denials, passing
words of sympathy and an unselfsh
desire to labor for others have made
the ties that bound US together all the
harder to sever. Ii there is one thing
that stands out more prominently
than another as a lasting monument it
is the interest they both have shown
in the Sabbath school. The hospitality
and conversation in their home was
always high, pure and sweet, full of
inspiration to noble thought and action,
pushing aside all that approached the
border line of what is not best,
introducing instead omething pleas
ant and profitable, never coming in
contact with the dark and noisome
life. They may leave us but the good
seed sown will surely continue to bear
fruit, and while we deeply regret the
severing of their connection with US
we can assure them we have their
interest at heart, and the prayers and
good wishes follow them to their new
field. The church at Brooklyn recently

M METHOD.

The absence Of method, which
characteriZeS the uneducated, is
Occas1oned by an habitual sub
mission Of the understanding to
mere events and images as such
and Independent Of any power
in the mind to classify or ap-
propr1ate them The general ac-
complishments Of time and place
are the only relations which per-
sons Of this class appear to re-
gard in their statements. As
this constitutes their leading fea-
ture, the. contrary excellence, as
distinguishing the we'll educat-
ed man. must be referred to the
contrary habit. Method, there
fore, becomes natural to the
mind which has been accustom-
ed to contemplate not things
only, or for their own sake
alone, but likewise and chiefly
the relations Of things, either
their relations to each other or
to the observer or to the state
and apprehensions Of the hear
ers.-Coleridge.

MATCH ROLLED INTO ONE,
as the whisky wore off they began to
develop a certain watchfulness. It was
skill-clumsy perhaps-but skill never
theless, and when headwork got the
better Of brute strength the lone spec
tator's interest heightened.
It may have been partly skill or &C.
cident or luck, but in one Of these
feints Buck got through Calls guard
with a blow that, catching him on the
point of the chin, landed him, half
dreaming, upon his back by the road
side. Buck Immediately prepared to
jump upon him with both feet.
"You let him ber' the mother-in-law
cried f1ercely. you give him a chanst
to git up. You'll be thar yourself afore
you know hit"
Grimly she stood guard until the
stricken man squirmed up on his ell
bow, and then she administered a
tongue flashing until he staggered dir
lily to his feet.
When his vision became clear it was
of his own volition he went back into

Except to see that they met her ideas
of fair play Mrs. Miracle let them
fight, once they were in earnest, until
they had fought their grudge out, and
long after that until they felt they
had licked each other to their complete
satisfaction.
Even then it was much harder to
terminate the fight than to start it; but

and reluctantly they separated.
''Now, Buck Haney," she said, and
her tone was menacing, ''you git up
to that house fas' as yuh kin go! Don't
give me none Of your sass nuther," she
interrupted him as he seemed about
to speak.
Thoroughly sobered, though some
what bewildered, he passed through
the gate and up the rocky, uneven lane.
She assured herself that he was really
gone before she turned to Cal.
"Now you hoof it for home" she
Kissed. He merely glared at her stub
bornly and turned in the opposite di
rection.

she to go back to Lowisey with the
