HOLDS FALL SESSION.

body, we find that whiskey is often
kept and frequently -sold right in the
court house, and that the court house
is often used as a resort for those
who drink. We urge that our Sher¬
iff and his deputies the utmost dili¬
gence in apprehending these violators
of the law, and insist that they seize
all liquors found stored about the
court house, and destroy the -same,
and arrest all persons drinking about
the court house, and prosecute them
before the proper authorities.
We have found considerable evi¬
dence of carelessness on the part of
the arresting officers in apprehending
those charged with violating the law,
and many violators of the law have
escaped. Some of these arresting
officers are openly charged with fre¬
quent drunkenness, to the discredit
of their office, and we therefore urge
upon them the greaest diligence in
the discharge of the duties of their
office, to the end that offenders
against the law may he duly and
promptly apprehended and punished.
We comnietnd most heartily Hiis
Honor, Judge Reagan, for the just
(manner in which lie lifts imposed
sentence upon violators of the prohi¬
bition laws, for we believe that it is
this class of criminals who are doing
more than any other to encoui'age
crime in our community.

felony convicts be kept at permanent
road work under a civil engineer;
and that a force of misdemeanor con¬

Letter From Uncle John.
Editors The Covington News:—
May I come with this article? We
take for our subject the word “Tat¬
tle,” which is a very ugly word. It
means to tell tales to harm some one.
1 write this for the benefit of our boys
and girls. Old folks should have bet¬
ter sense than to tattle. Let us see
the harm that comes from tattling.
It makes wars between nations. It
brings dissolution between husbands
and wives. It breaks marriage con¬
tracts between sweethearts. It
shakes confidence betw een neighbors
and discord between teachers and
patrons. All this hellish work comes
through the tattler-the;works of the
devil. Young men; young women; I
have great love for you. You are the
hope of our country. It is through
you that the destiny of our country
is sealed for weal or woe. Take the
reins in your hands and use discretion
4
as to how you drive, and you need
not fear ship-wreck. I have confi¬
dence in you that you will do your
duty. Dont try to hear every report
that is passing. If you hear a report,
first consider who told it. If the
story is heard pay no attention,
Let it go in one ear and out the oth¬
er; you haven’t lost anything.
The man who will tatle is a murde¬
rer. I knew a man w'ho was a tat¬
tler and a liar. He tried to defame
the character of a pure, sweet lady.
He failed in his hellish plan, and the
laws of his country punished him for
libel. Justice should have broken his
his neck. We see what the tattler
comes to. My dear friends, young
and old, let us take warning and heed
the danger of tattling and talking.
If anything is to be told, let the other
fellow tell it. Y r ou might fail to tell
it right . ,. and , , be charged , , with ... , being . a
, liar. • _ t* If any _____..... one has offended you, go
to him and talk it over and adjust it.
Think before and it speaking, look before
leaping, will save you from re
morse.
Take and pay r for the News. ^ Our
faithful editors help us. Let us help
t-hem. Uncle John Roquemore
