We wish to remind our subscribers who are in the arrears that all men who conduct their business on principles bettle their accounts once every year and that it is impossible for us to run the business of The Rf.ptju Ubah upon business methods unless our subscribers pay up. The last Republican Administration paid off 8259.071,960 of the pub-lit debt, reducing it from to $585,034,260. Under the present Administration it has increas. ed bv 8102,227,800, the total now standing at 8747,301,960. There is argument enough in these few figures to settle the Presidential contest of i89G.

A crying need for Hartford is a board of trade. Board of trade in deed as well as in name, is what is den sired. The merchants should get together on a broad and liberal basis of bringing trade to Hartford, having faith in the fact that if trade comes to Hartford each one will get a share of it and all will bo benefited What twenty men cannot do acting independently of each other can be cast ly accomplished by the same twenty acting in unity. There are numerous things that can be done and ought to bodoue, which any merchant will enumerate, but one man can not do them alone. The Louisville Tvmet, a "strong supporter of the Democratic cause, and A strong nardln sheet, attributes the defeat of the Democratic ticket to Jo Blackburn, and says: "Joseph C.

S. Blackburn, more than any other individual, is responsible for the present Republican administration in Kentucky, nut lor him Wat Hardin would have been elected Governor. Democrats everywhere know this, and the Democrats in the Kentucky Legislature are not going to make Blackburn the caucus nominee for United Senator. He is not entitled to that honor, empty though it be. la Una.

He discredits his own country among foreigners and when he is criticised for his unpatriotic con-duct some Anglo-maniacs who unfortunately are editors of Democratic papers are raiting all manner of atmospheric disturbance. Mr. Bayard needs taking down a button hole or two. It will do him good. POR OUR SUBSCRIBERS.

We do not believe that our subscribers really think that we are in duty bound to furnish them with the paper for lifo free of charge, and yet, through carelessness perhaps, some of them act as if they did. We are quits willing to do the work of malriog known the matchless re sources of our county; of keeping the thermometer above tho freezing point asse ftlug and' proving that we have the best town and the best county in the titate; saying tho best things we can about all the brides and grooms; eaving out ail reference to the previous bad character of tho dead; giving the best possible report of all the local entertainments; saying of every new baby that it is the finest and prettiest every born; giving all of the local news of iuterest and much of the general news of the world all without chargeor compensation, but we must insist that our subscrib ere pay us at least a portion of the cost of blank paner. Peonle have ev idently come to the conclusion that they aro doing the local paper a f.u vor by taking it from tlio postofiice, but tho law says by doing bo they make themselves responsible for the subscription price thereof. Now tho object ot this notice, is to say that after January the first we must stop sending it to all who show no disposition to pay for it. Many are badly In arrears that we could hardly expect them to pay all up at once, but If tboro is any who will not pay anything nt all, to them we cannot longer afford to send it.

Wo mean by this notic(i, that wo must bavo something from every subscriber who is behind or tlie paper will bo discontinued. If yuct can't pay all pay a little, and thus sbow your Is-position to do the right. If you expect the 'pt per after January first, call and see how you stand or leralt amount due lit once. The date opnosit your name, on the margin of tho paper will to whaf time your subscription yt paid, Ir Cuban Revolutionists over gain victories, and thoy do, tho Spanish continue to have tho world remain Ignorant of it and to leave the impression that tho Spanish ore always gaining. The Madisouvllle Jftittler is making war on thecigaretlei.and has been sending circulars to the urging that body to pass a law making it a heavy penalty to roll tlicm.

Tho Jluillcr at week had tho following to Bay editorially: "The cigarette is bnund to go. It is doomed. It must be banished Iromi our State. The boys must be saved. The educators of the State arc a unit in demanding that the sale of these mind-destroy In jr dealing things shall be prohibited.

The press is taking up the fight and demands that the next legislatue shall pass stringent laws in regard to the importation, manufacture and sale of the deadly things. Every member of the Legislature of both houses is being asked to pledge himself to vote for such a measure nnd In tumly even Instance th cm n'cu are promising tu vote lor the 1. ys. Let Ue law be a strong, and atrtngent one and then after it's passed let the people see that its provisions are enforced." The Republican for 1890 will be even better than it has heretofore. New features will be added.

When the Legislature convenes we will have a special correspondent on tho grounds to give us all tho news of that body. Our large subscription list has increased during the last year, notwithstanding it has been a very bard one. We will endeavor this year to give tho court directory in full and all the workings around the Court House and all tho local news as well as all that is going on over the country. We have received a largo advertising patronage tho past year and with increased facilities we hope to receive much better in 1896. Our Job Department has turned out the very best work that could be had anywhere.

Our prices aro lowest and our work is first-class. Altogether we enter upon the New Year with flattering prospects for a successful year's work.

It was a common happening in the "News" office, while Mr. Field still did his work there, for some ragged, unwashed, crtature, too much abashed to take the elevator, to come toiling up the stairs and down the long passage into one of the editorial rooms, where he would blurt out fearfully, sometiniesbalfdefiantly, but always as it confident in the power of the name he spoke: "Is 'Gene Field here?" Sometimes an over-zealous office-boy would try to drive one of these poor fellows away, and woe to that boy if Field found it out.

"I knew 'Gene Field in Denver," or, "I wotked with Field on the 'Kansas City "these were sufficient passwords, and never failed to call forth the cheery voice from Field's room: "mats an rignt. snow mm in here; he's a friend of mine."

Robin Hood Writes an Interesting1 Letter: IlARDissnono, Dec 26, '95. Christmas tree was put up at the City Hall last Tuesday night. It was loaded with gilts uud a large crowd was there to sec them distributed. The sentimental young men mid ladies) were largely interested in the nfTalis, consequently the young men nloresaid have lighter purses as well as lighter hearts, and lighter heads, too, as far as that is concerned Society is on the "qui vivo" this week owing to the return of several college girls nnd sporty gentlemen. Several siciety gatherings are announced, and altogether there Will be more life exhibited by this old town than has been for many a day, The small boy is largely in evidence and is arrayed in all his glory.

With fire crackers, roman candles, tin horns and what not, he does his part towards making life a burden. Rev, Eldred Pate will begin a series of meetings at this place, next Sunday night which he proposes to continue for two weeks. The services will be held at the M. E. Church South, of which he is pastor, the ostensible object of the meeting is the saving of sinners.

There is a splendid field for such" work at this place. We understand that Mr, R. N. Miller County attorney this county, and also Mr. V.

B. Burton also of this csunty, will be candidates for delegates lrom this Congressional District to the National Convention at St. Louis These gentlemen are stalwart Republicans and one of them will be oneot the delegates from the district. Among those who ha-e returned to their homes at this place to spend the holidays are Misses, Mary Bowmer.of Ashland, Kate Eskridge, Louisville, Bessie Beard, Annie De Janett and Eva Heasley.of Potters College, Bowling Green, and Messrs Estel Sutton, Thomas Bowmer and Graham Louisville, Mr. Victor Bowmer of Cloverport, and Mr'.

Marvin Beard, of Nashville University. A glass eating bited named Jones was brought before Judge Ahl this week charged with wife beating. Mr. Jones is 0 colored gentleman who holds forth from time to tlmein thecapacity of a variety showman and slight of hand performer He became jealous of the sharer in his joys and sorrows and beat her as aforesaid. He is now in jail paying a fine of $25,00 There can be no doubt but that there are many Republicans, in the county, as well as elsewhere, who under value services to their party because they believe its principals are the best for the country.

Recent developments, however, declare the lamentable fact, that it'is self-aggrandizement and that alone which persists many to be so zealous in their party's behalf. It does not argue well for the party that so many of our young men begin to scheme before they are even twenty five years old. The fact that he is a young man, however, is not an "atrocious crime." But when the fact is clearly shown and known, that the activity of some Republicans, springs from sellish motives, then their efforts in behalf ot certain measures, particular men must be viewed with suspicion. The welfare of the party being ft matter of only secondary importance to them they do not merit the confidence of loyal and truest party men. Rodin Hood.

Nleveimou'a UnnHlilUheil "St. Ires," the novel left substantially complete, ami unpublished, by Robert Louis Stevenson at his death, is described as purely a romance ot adventture. It is the story of a French prisoner captured in the Peninsular wars, who is shut up in Edingburg Castle; there he falls in love with a Scotch girl who, with her aunt, frequently visits the prisoners. There is early in the story a duel under extraordinary circumstances, between St. Ives and a alter various episodes a dangerous plan of escape is decided upon, and the daring St Ives finally becomes a free man.

The perils that he under goes whilein hiding nbout Edinburgh, his adventures on tho Great North Road with strangers and robbers, has final escape across the border into England, his return to Ellnburgh, and many other incidents of this splendidly conceived story are told in the splrided, vivacious vand wonderful style ot which Stevenson was a master. So thorough Is the excellence of Ayer's Hair Vigor that it can be used with benefit by any person, no matteu what may be the conditions ot the hair, and, in every case, it oc cassions satisfaction and pleasure, in addition to the benefit which invariably comas from its use.

He seems to forget that the paper lied when it said he was a prosperous farmer, for he knows that he his not made corn nor "taters" enough to do him any jear ot hislile. Ue forgets, again, that though the paper said he made a "pleasant call" that while that "pleasant call" was in progress the editor had just ns lief been in Limbo with his back broken. It makes nil the difference in the world who it is that gets "writ up," whether It is unreliable or not The people like to have nice things said about them, and they just demand that they shall be said. Suppose the county paper should speak the uuvarnished truth about some of those newspaper critics who are such sticklers fortruth. For instance, take it for granted that one ol them gets married uud the county paper follows thecriticj and tells things just as they happened, it would sound soti.e.hlug like this: "Mr.
