I and around the square, at wu ch place the Confederate monument has ber-n erected, all repaired to the Baptist church where memorial services were observed. Dr. ?J-wal tn ey conducted the devotional exercises, and patriotic in spiration was derived from that soul stirring hymn "My Country >T?3 of Thee." The speaker, B. E. Nicholson, Esq., was introduced by Rev. Mr. Davis, of the Methodist church. In this intro duction Mr. Dauis, among other things, said that it was not necessary to make any remarks in reference to the young gentleman about to address them as all Edgefield knew this worthy son of a noble father. This compliment to Mr. Nicholson was the best that could be uttered referring to the character of any young man, but what followed made it evident that it was not all that could be said of him. Mr. Nicholson is perhaps the youngest member of the Edgefield bar, but in his speech on this occasion exhibited very forcibly the fact th*.t age and experience are not always requisite toa high degree of development. This address was re plete with the results of deep thought and steady reflection. It is often de plored that iu a speech manifesting these sam** characteristics that the speaker has the mind but not the ora torical power to impart the benefits of his research in an interesting manner to his audience. Mr. Nicholson pos sesses the gift of pnblic speaking. He basa drawing magnetic personality, and his powers are not limited to the acquiring of delightful ideas, but the imparting of them in an impressive manner, as well, to all who listen to nim. He will doubtless bea glowing Hgbt to brighten and glorify Edge field's future history. Far m Loans. On Two. Three and Five years time, 8 per cent, interest, with privilege to pay any time.

I don't know how far the people of Kentucky have lost faith in partisan c mrfcs and partisan judges. I do know that the bulwark of our liberty and the very foundation stone of our govern ment rests in the faith of the'people in au incorruptible judiciary. When oar courts become partiaan or are moved by partyism, theu the ship of state is adrift at seat without chart or compass, at the mercy of the storm. ? judge ought to be a man, true, genuine, unbiased by partyism, unprejudiced by politics, unmoved by the clamor of gangs or cliques. He ought to kuow nothing when he sits in judgment but right and wrong, and do the right and refuse to do the wrong if the heavens fall. I doubt the propriety aud policy that make the judgeship a political office and turua the jLdical ermine ever iuto the political realm. I believe there ought to be in each state of this union a commission appointed to select and elect the judges of our judicial circuits. Sorry Georgia has inaugurated the plan of electing the judges by popular voie. A man may be a very poor man and turu out to be a very poor judge. It takes grit and intergrity and manhood ?to make a judge. I feel that this election of judges by popular vote will put in some clever fellow who will, like the judge who asked the negro who was arraigned for some misdemeanor before him if he had counsel to represent him. He asked the judge what that was. The judge replied, "Have you a lawyer to attend to your case?" "No," said the negro, "I dou't needs no lawyer." "What are you going to do? Are you go ing to defend yourself and be your: own attorney?" "No," he said, "Marse Judge, I'm just going to throw myself on the ignorance of the court." I don't think it the wisest and best to throw the judge head over heels into poiitics or-'in any manner put him under any obligations to any human being who may have a cas? that will come before him for adjudication. As a rule, a first ' clasB judge is not popular with many people and may not be a good politician.-New York Jour nal. McCormick Binders.

The Eminent Kidney and Bladder Specialist. Els Laboratory. There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by lt-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Then the richness of the blood-the albumen -leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.

The Detroit Free Press publishes the following story : ""Don t kuow whether it's new or not. I heard it do wu in Bermuda,' said the man who recently returned from that winter resort. "There is a rich widow li v i ii j just outside of Pon tic, according, to this story, and after several elderly geutlemon had vainly endva^or?d to lure her into matrimony again a report gained] circuiatiou that she was a regular man hater. Filially, a wealthy widower from the East, carrying with him the evidences of good living and the heartiness tba! seeks congenial companionship, visited the city and was soo i caller upon the intractable widow. After he thought sufficient" advancement had been made to justify a proposal he proceeded to feel his way. " 'Beautiful home you have here.' "'Yes. I enjoy it.' " Fine outlook, flue trees, fine yard, very fine all around. But there i? one thing lacking.' " 'Yes?' " 'It is an Adamless Eden, don't you know.
