There was an endless cessa-
tion of the “turkey-trot” in
Paducah and Cottle County
during the past ten days. The
axe was the cause of it.
In China when friends meet
the greeting is, “How is your
liver!” In the United States
they say, “How do you do?”
but in Paducah the latest is
“How is yourarm?”
IgDorance can be tolerated,
because in many instances the
victim of circumstances did not
have an opportunity of acquir-
ing knowledge, but educated
egotism is disgusting iu the ex-
treme.
While the mountains of the
United States are covered with
Christmas snow, the hills of
Mexico are covered with falling
lead which issue from the rifles
of the disgruntled Insurrectos
and the ill-paid Federals.

We suppose there will be an-
other menu of diplomatic
sauce dealt out to an already
patience-worn public. But then
our men of ingenuity must
have a chance of showing how
really much they know.
Somewhere we read of a
judge who had decided it was
not compulsory for a person to
dodge au auto. It might not
be absolutely compulsory, but
it is certainly is an evidence of
wisdom. To refuse is sort of
like the fellow who stands in
the wake of an’ oncoming cy-
clone with the open door of a
storm cellar at hand. Better
dodge, sonny, and save hos-
pital or funeral expenses.
this
county is very large, and wiu-
ter pasturage is splendid. With
the falling of the moisture as it
has come during the past sev-
eral weeks everything is in A-l
condition. The cold weather
now upon us may be a little in-
convenient for the time being,
but it means prosperity in
large quantities in the coming
mouths.
The crop prospects up-to-
date are the best this section
has known in many years.
Plenty of rain has fallen; snow
has come to mellow the grouud
and help rid it of insects, and
heavy frosts are to be seen al-
most every morning. The
tanks in all the country are
filled with an abundance of
stock water, and the pasturage
’or the coming year promises
to be immense. Truly this is
the garden spot of the State.

Governor Colquitt granted
pardons to thirty-three con-

recipients will so fully appre-

to make an honest endeavor at
living up to the standards of
true citizenship, the rights o
which have been thus restored
to them.
A man in New York was
fined the other day because he
did not believe in Santa Claus
and was trying to make his
little boy see things in the
same light. He and his sister-
in-law got into quite an argu-
ment over the matter, and the
altercation became so loud as
to attract the attention of

marched the male orator to the

were adjusted. Moral—don’t

no plau for introducing any-
thing which might prove a suc-
cessful strike-breaker presents
itself, but we sure do wish the
feathered cacklers would con-
descend to favor us with an-

with our coffee and newspaper
in the early morning.

Everybody has been so
chuck-full of Christmas lately
that even the irrepressible can-
didate has been forced to take
a back Beat, but he will now
come forth and shine as a huge
gem in the public eye. In fact,
from now on we will not have
anything to cool our ardor1 or
interest in the political game,
and the aspirants for office can
orate, and the general public
can listen in a superlative de-
gree from now on.
What produces the high cost
of living! Many things— lazi
ness, chiefly. Of course it is
called by other names in this
20th century modern age, but
when thoroughly analyzed that
is the truth—pure and simple
Folks hire every little thing
done for themselves now
which in the days gone by
they did themselves. The love
of ease and comfort, while not
specially to be condemned, is
costly, aud if these iudulgeu-
cies must keep on, it were best
that the roar ot the high cost
of living be silenced.
It does not cost much—either
in effort, time or money—to
keep one’s place neat and
clean, and think of how much
it helps in an appearance way,
and from a health standpoint.
Many are inclined to doubt the
accomplishing of any good by
civic leagues, but if such peo-
ple will take the time and
trouble to inform themselves a
little further they will soon
learn of their mistake and be
heartily in favor of such organ-
izations. Paducah once boast-
ed of one—we trust it has not
ceased its good work.

slush” kiud of a noise, having
a large portion of the untitled
real estate clinging thereto—
whew, theu it is we KNOW we
need a dry place upon which to
walk, and as we plod on, with
a dyspeptic look aud feelings
of inward anger as we are
made to murmur: “Of all sad
words of tongue or pen, the
saddest are these, it might
have been—a sidewalk.”
It is strange, but true, that
some people are always trying
to carry water on both should-
ers. This is seen from a social,
and political standpoint moreijir
and more each year. Consis- |||
tency, along all lines, is essen-
tial to conservative living, and
that, after all, is what really
counts. The fellow who is a
friend of everyone, who always
agrees with the parties to
whom he is talking on what
ever subject, and who appar-
ently never has an opinion of
his own, does not amount to
much. He soon loses the re-
spect of his companions, and
eventually forgets that he ever
had any self-respect. It is best
to be a unit, if necessarily a
small one, than to be a cipher,
and like a football allow to be
kicked hither and thither by
the opinions of the community
at large.

Extravagance does not nec

folks, in moderate circum-
stances, crave the things they
see their wealthier neighbors
possess, but after all, does an
over-abundance of money

living—happiness! Many a
man and woman overlook the
peace aud contentment they are
capable of creating for them-
selves by allowing a feeling of
covetuousness to invade their
entire being, and as a ’result
they feel as though life was all
darkness aud discontent, and
that notbiDg was worth while.
The man in the smaller town
believes he could be happy in
the metropolis; the person on
the farm wants to come to the
towns, and so on down the line
there is a never-ending feeling
of unrest and dissatisfaction.
Almost every surrounding can

some things which shonld be
eradicated, and others which
shonld be added. The creating
