Are we growing worse, and la it that human nature of the progressive nine teenth century la even more depraved than the ehaotio period of the dark agesf The metropolitan journals of the day are filled with highly colored descrip tions of hangings, snioides, murders and .unmentionable orimes of the most dis gusting nature. Ia it that tho appetite of the publio craves snob unsavory food? Furthermore does the law of supply and demand control the disposition of these spicy journalistic viands whloh are 'dished np under a triple plate, flavored with the extraot, imagination, the stock in trade of so many newspaper reporters. The newspapers wield a vast power for good or evil in this great national re public. The freedom of tho American press is absolute. The newspapers of the age are In a measure the educators of the young, and janrnalistio enterprise mer its true appreciation and universal ap plause. But when to be In this line of progress it becomes neecessary for the journalist to invade the sanctity of homes and decry the virtue of women and make black the character of men, It is time to pnt a cheek upon snob en terprise and invite the playen in this sensational "comedy of errors” to some oft the publio stago or close their foul and slanderous mothplece.

But for the com fort and support of that bravo true no bleman, all might have been different with me.” Suoh sentiments of tender, loving con fidence are refreshing In this day of mis givings and distrust. The eulogy that this grateful man paid to his faithful friend fell sweetly upon my ear*. It was full of pathos and truth more beau tiful Bud pleasing than any novelty.

An Athenian statesman said that hit children ruled Athens, Inaamnch as they ruled their mother and she ruled him. A wise Americus father who loves his handsome, talented boy better than the ruddy drops of blood which encircle his own heart, speaks klndlv a word of warning to me, and would rather that the manly virtues of this promising son should not be oommsntad on by the press, for fear of spoiling the boy.

The sudden stoppage near Rochelle of the west bound passenger train over the S. A.

The body was otherwise terribly mangled, and the poor fellow had probably never realized what bit him. He waz a white man, and thought to be of the name of Culbort. From the beat Information the reporter could gain be hod been in Rochelle the night before and had started home on the railroad and had laln down on the track and gone to sleep, when bn was struck by the freight. There were some who believed that he waa first murdered and then placed on the track to avert suspicion but there seem to be no suffioiAt evidences to warrant sueh conclusion, as there was not a wound on the body which might not easily have been occasioned by the passing of the train over it The remains were earried to hie home and prepared for bnrial.

Klein, representing the Merchants’ Retail Commercial Agenoyof Chicago is in the city soliciting sub scribers to his protective system, and the retail merchants of Americus have many of them enrolled themselves as members. The system, while not a new one In the north and west, is one which haa as yet been very little used in this section of the country. It consists of a bureau of in formation by which lti subscribers are kept constantly in receipt of the names of parties all over the country who are insolvent There Is a “black list” furn ished each subscriber and upon it are the names of those who have, in their own towns, made debts and failed in payment of the ume.
