counting the thousands who will now
take The News to secure this beautiful

was never known to stop nt expense
when they undertake to do anything.
A couple of sixteen year old strip-
plings. who had evidently ju.-t came
trom cainp for the purpose of making
••Rome howl." succeeded in getting rather
the wor-t for pooi whiskey and making
things rather disagreeable for the people
in waiting at tlie union depot on AA'ed-
ncsdny morning. Everybody seemed to
dread the job of bringing ther. to task.
Finally they were ejected bj* Agent
Tasker. They came to the door again,
when a gentleman in waiting gave one
of them a swift kick in the rear, whioh
had a somewhat soothing effect, but they
did not quit tbeir obscene remarks and
disgusting behavior until Under Sheriff
Parrish made his appearance and brought
them up with a round turn. It was sur-
Virising to see how suddenly and painfully silent and docile those two "wild and
wooly" kids became when Mr. Parrish
criticised their conduct. They were let
ofl'on promise of leaving on the tirst
train, both buyiijg tickets for Mt. Pleasant. And right here, the DemoceAT-
Pkkss desires to offer a few words of
complaint, which the writer hns often
heard commented upon, in regard to the
architecture of the interior of the depot.
There is no partition to divide the ladies*
and gents' waiting room, and Womeii
wlio go there to wnit for trains are repeatedly subjected to the fumes of tobacco smoke and tho vile epitcphs that
iminatelrom the tongues of the rougher
class of nien who froquent the depot
while in wnitingfor trains. This deficiency could|ensily be remedied, nnd wo
doubt if the matter was laid before the
proper railroad officials it would secure
the desired effect. It should be attended
to.
