THE
NVER&
Why do men trouble about a Sabbath
day ? Is not this a free country ? And
cannot each religious society ordain a
Sabbath day for its sell? Or all join
together and elect one common day, no
matter what day, and observe that day,
for themselves, nor t ouble others be
cause they do not choo&e to observe the
chosen day, or for mat mat'er any day
at all as a Sabbath day?
Sabbath union should be content that
they are protected by law in the obser
vation of such day, nor trouble others
because they do not believe in a Sabbath
day, nor choose to observe one set apart
by others. The law can only protect. It
cannot comp?! the observance of any
religious tenet whatever.
"One man esteemeth one day above
another, another esteemeth every day
alike. Leteverv man be fully pursuad
ed in his own mind." And I fully agree
with the A; ostle in this matter, and de
clare we have no right. State or divine,
to try to compel others to observe our
Sabbath days, or for that matters, any
Sabbath day whatever.
- Asa reutday for dependent man and
beasts of burden, one day in seven may
be a blessing. This rest day, should be
obligatory as to beasts. But optionary
on the part of men, But for iheman who
esteems every day alik (a God given
right) shall we compel him to rest every
seventh day, or shall we go further and
comnel him to observe some religious
custom on that.day. I deny we have
any natural or moral right to do so, but
let. him "lin fnllv nersuaded in his own
mind" while he harms himself and
reitDects the riirhta of others.
That the observance of Sabbath days
conduces to good moral cannot be proven
any further than the same observance on
a oy other day of the week would come
to that end. Men attend Sabbath day
gatherings when they feel like it. They
do not feel so disposed, and may go
elsewhere. And my obseivation is, that
men are no less moral whon they .visit
elsewhere than the church.
Iu my opinion thee sabbath laws are
the seeds of despotism, .which produce
plants of persecution, and it is a question
whether sweet virture and pure morality
' can thrives beneath the shades of such
plants. Sveet wateis do not flow from
bitter fountains, nor do we gather
cherries from the crab app e. liut like
pr iauces .ike, and will do so for all
tunes, consequently lawn of oppression
will produce Iruits of rebellion, flowers
and fruiiH of justice can only giowon the
tree of liberty.
Men hould observe their own stand
ard of right, whether in polities ur reli
gion Then hew to the line Interfer
ing with none, nor biook interference
from others.

PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
The Home Friend of the
Farmer and His Family.
After the labors and toils of the summer time,
and harvesting of crops in the early autumn,
many of our farmers, their wives, daughters,
and sons, find themselves in a condition of
health demanding careful attention if suffering
is to be avoided later on. Many experience
kidney trouble in tome form; with some the
liver is torpid: there is biliousness, nausea, and
vomiting, with loss of appetite and depression
of spirits. Thousands who have been exposed
to cold, damp winds and rains while toiling in
the harvest fields, now feel the twinges ol
terrible rheumatism: others run down bj
worry, overwork, and irregular dieting, art
tormented with the pangs of dyspepsia.
To the thousands ot run down, sickly, and
half dead men and 'women in farm homes we
recommend with all honesty and confidence
the worker s friend, Fame s Celery Compound,
the only medicine that can quickly and full;
restore strength to the weak body and vigor to
the muscles. Paine's Celery Compound tone
the stomach ; it removes poisonous acids from
the blood which cause rheumatism; it feeds
the weak and diseased nerves and banishes
neuralgic tortures; it purifies the blood and
pives true vitality and life. The use of Paine
Celery Compound in autumn means the estab
lishing of a perfect physical vigor to withstand
the rigors of a severe winter.

Origin of Old Sayings.
The Braymer (Mo.) Comet has been
quietly looking up the origin of some
expressions used by would-oe writers of
today ana nnas some quite uuary whu
age. A few of the discoveries follow :
'John Mark's horse was noticed eat
ing post hay at Simon Peter's gate last
Sabbath evening, appeared in tne Je
rusalem Bee in the spring of 2 A. D. It
is still doing service in Clay County.
"Abraham Bartholomew bas a new
cart, (iirls look out. wonder wuo'ii
be thn first to ride with Abraham," was
printed in the Capernaum Uugle A. U.
3. It appeared in h Kay county paper
last week and caused some amusement.
'There was a bright, new girl baby at
Simon Zabn's house lust week. Mother
and child are doing ell. The doctor
hopes to save Simon," was first printed
in the Rome Times in 4 A. I). It does
occasional duty yet.
'News are scarce." appeared in tne
Siaai Landmark in B. 0 . 2003. Like
the Wandering Jew that it is, it's sail
doing service.
'Came down with a dull thud," was
used in Jericho when the walls fell down
after the army marched around Boven
times.
'The tonuue of fire leaped and danced
and nothing codld stay the fire fiend,"
wa the way the uazette reporter wrote
up the burning of Rome, while JNero
liddled, playing "Under the Bamboo
Tree."
"Ye editor," "Our better half, "We,"
'Us." "Our." 'The poor editor," were
used by old Father Abraham in his pa
per 3600 years ago. Some editors Btill
use them.
"Resolutions of respect" and Cards of
th .nks" were common in the newspa
pers in the first century . Ihey cling to
the ancient custom in Arkansas, China
and Clay county.
"Cupid's Capers," headed the mar
riage of Simon Peter and his wife 3000
years ago and still does duty In South

Particulars.
Destroys Two Barns, Three Horses
and Forty Tons of Hay.
A disastrous fire occurred about 2'A
miles east of Can by at Hammerman's
place Saturday morning at an early
lour. Two large barna standing close
togoti er were burned to the ground, to
gether with nearly all of their contents.
Three head of horses perished iu the
flames. Together the two barns con-'
tained about 40 or 45 tons of hay,, and
much valuable farming machinery, all
of which was burned. A large quantity
of whettt in a granary in one end of the
barn was saved, there being two bar
rels of water sitting nearby which en
abled the people who gathered to put
out the fire before the granary burned.
The fire was discovered about 3 o'clock
in the morning, and had gained so much
headway when first discovered that it
could not be put out. What caused the
tire could not bo learned. The loss win
aggregate $2,000 and there was no in
aurance.
