SOME SOUND JUDGMENT.

A Few Solid Gold Conclusions Arrived at by Thoughtful People Mysteries of Long Standing Revealed Dead Shots and What

They Hit That Which is Must Be And the World Wags Still.

We have sounded a few of our citizens at their leisure, out of mere curios ity and among the numerous questions propounded the following few interesting answers were obtaiued. Read them and then ponder on the Butue.

ABOUT TIIK 1'OI.IOIC I'OKl I..

"i think it is a very good idea to comment from time to time on some of the work done by our present force of police oflicerp," said a citizen to The Kkvikw. "It gives them encouragement and they need it, Some will say ihey are paid for such work and should be capable of doing it ail right. Yes. but in every instant should thev be given credit for their efficiency and that will give theiu greater interes in the work. Our piesent force is all right and is as good as .they, dare be.',' You know it. .*.•• auoi't Till. I'or.vrv jail. ••Did you ever notice, said another citizen, "in what good condition our county juii is? 11 is in perfect order. clean from basement to root and en tirely free of profanity or boisterous conduct. All this is personally due to I the management of Sheriff Davis and his turnkey, Howard Dickerson. The prisoners must behave and the insti tution be kept clean."

Aiiorx it in i'ai.-i ii.

Said still anotner citizen. "I have just ligured out a good reason why the men folks should keep a still' upper lip about this thing of the women holding hen parties and five o'clock teas. Some men are continually bellowing because they are not in it,.but the truth of the matter is this they would not care to be. How do you suppose my friend. Mr. would enjoy sipping chocolate from a dainty cupor inhaling a crumb of invisable cake between breaths while commenting on a neighbor's new dress? Let the women have their teas. VYe men folks can exchange war stories and chew our tobacco to greater satisfaction."

M'liK I HIM..

"1 think it ridiculous that a man should commit some lav less misdemeanor and then want to murder some one because the newspapers tell the peo pie gently of it." quoth another man of "Athens" and we responded *'Amen" just as his wife struck him for money to buy meat for dinner.

HL'l: KIl'K l.XCKl'TK )NA '1(1 TH KLl.K. While everybody sees a kick coming to them we also have the self same inclination and our kick is this. Below we have a /write up" of an important wedding and we dislike very much the idea of describing the costumes worn at such gatherings but as we have to do the same in thisinstance. It nearly breaks our collar buttons. Here she goes and is our first one. Girls if we make any mis takes in our description make up your minds that we knew no better and pass it on.

1'crhaps one of the most bashful soci :ty events of the season was the marriage of Street Waiker to Sarah Xade at the home of the bride on Wabash street last evening.
