One of the most entertaining and in-

structive¬

evenings ever spent by a Hickman audience was that of last Fridaywhen the Hon II V McChesney andHon J Morgan Chinn addressed thevoters ol this vicinity upon the issuesof the campaign broughtto a close by an overwhelming victoryon Tuesday It was instructive because of the manner in which MrUhiim expounded the doctrine ofdemocracy nUll entertaining by reasonof thu peerless style of that inimitableStump speaker Mr McUhesney Theformer gentleman was extremely pel ¬

lucid in the arguments ho advancedpis delivery was as KUiotth as the run-ning brook and the intonations of u

LEVEE PROJECT ABANDONED

So far as could beltarnedI

the agita ¬utors for a levee prQti tiag West Hick ¬

man have for the time being abandonedthe project not as impracticable butbecause of evident disinterestedness ofthejowuors of property which would beeffected It was hoped that the agita ¬

tion along this line would result insomething more tangible than talk butafter a thorough canvass tho promotershave about decided that nothing can bedone this year and although it is in ¬

definitely postponed the fact remainsthat sooner or later it must be built Itis an absolute necessity that the pro-perty subject to overflow be affordedproper protection from the encroach-mentsI of high water ere it will bringin the real estate market anything likd
