A disturbing consideration for any one
who is toiling over a work of art is that a
succeeding generation will come along and
call it an atrocity. For instance, the strange
bas- reliefs of the cities along the southern
flank of Broad Street Station. Some one
must have toiled right smartly over those
gloomy carvings.
Posterity is notoriously heartless, and we
don't like to give 1t a chance to mock at our
expense We take care to blend our stuff
SO that 1t will evaporate rapidly.

Itlinarily about one-third of the pen

The Right Laxative
For The Little O,aes---

Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin produces free move
ment of the bowels without gripping. A very
little is required, and it is pleasant to take.
A few hours after its use the child will be its
happy self again.
1t is an excellent remedy for the mother
herself, and for the other members of the
family, in obstinate or occasional consti-
patton, for the relief of headaches, as an aid
in colds and fevers, minor skin eruptions and
all disorders where the basis of the trouble
is constipation.
The druggist will refund the money you
pay for Syrup Pepsin if it fails to do as
promised.

MARRIED.

Last Friday morning at about TOO

Monte McPeake, who were accompan-

married in the town Of Henderson and
reached Lexington on the same day.
The groom is young farmer of the
old 14th district and the bride a
daughter Of Mr.. Rufus McPeake, an
East-of-town farmer. We hear but
can not vouch for the statement that
the father Of the bride had given no
tice, in the counties Of Henderson, De-
catur and Madison, not to issue H.
cense, but he overlooked Chester eoun-
tl-and that's how Cupid happened to
get in his work. Runaway marriages,
like other runaways, some times cause
mishaps, but we trust that this one
may result in nothing out happiness
to all concerned-including the old
folk.

Such actions as the attempt to as
sassinate Viscount French Lord Lieu
tenant, of ireland, which occurred at
Dublin last Friday, can but have bad
effect on the accomplishment of Irish
independence. The British govern

over the Iyish and we should rejoice
with all others having real Irish
blood in their veins to see the Emerald
Isle free-but with all that, the Eng
lishman is hard animal to drive and
attempted assassinations Of English
Rulers in Ireland will only defer the
day Of Irish freedom. Ireland should
at once be given Home Rule and then

Some Of the county papers of last
week stated that Chancellor ]. w.
Ross is being "groomed" for governor
by the Republicans and that if he con-
sents to make the race and is nomi-
mated, strong and not hopeless fight
will be made to elect him. We are a
Democrat and the Chancellor is a Re-
publican, but we can say that we know
him to be able and we believe it would
be his desire to make the State good
executive in the event of his election.
No member Of the Tennessee Judici-
airy has ever "made good more in
disputably than has Judge Ross. He
is a man Of culture and extensive in
formation both in the legal profess
sion and in the other affairs Of life
and, as a chancellor his friends are
almost numbered by the lawyers who
practice in the courts Of the Sth Chan
cerp division. Tennessee is positive
ly and distinctly Democratic, but if
John William Ross can gain the
friends over the State that he has
made in his Chancery division, it viii
no easy job for any Democrat to beat
him in the next November election.
