wAsHINaToN'S BIRTHDAY.
The Pupils Of Hopkinaville Public
School appropriately Gel
citrate the Occasion.

Wednesday last, the 22nd inst, be-
ing the anniversary of the birthday
of George Washington, the pupils of
the IIopkinsville Public Schools cele-
brated the occasion appropriately.
Each recitation room was beautifully
decorated with various sizes of Amer
lean flags and banners, tastefully ar
ranged, and excellent and artist like
crayon drawings of Washington's
home at Mt. Vernon, appeared on the
blackboards. Each class had its own
programme, consisting of recitations,
songs, orations, etc, which were ren-
dered in their own particular school
rooms, which are numbered by the
number of the floors to the immense
building, and so well were the classes
trained by their efficient teachers
that there was not hitch in their
entire programmes, all acquitting
themselves magniflcently, showing
conclusive efficiency of both teacher
and scholar.
The Celebration was largely at
tended by both old and young from
the city as well as by number from
other points. There was no admis-
sion fee charged, but contribution
box was placed in the hall and those
who felt disposed to contribute the
small sum of ten cents for the benefit
of the Public School Library were at
liberty TO do so, and quite a number
donated their mite. The Library is
in need of funds just now, and as it
has no specific source of income the
amount realized was not out of place
and should have been given with a
good spirit and freely.
The exercises closed at 2:30 p. IN.
and all left feeling that they had been
highly entertained.

A PROBABLY FATAL SHOOT
ING ARRAY.
The Old Fair Grounds the Scene.

Robert Nelson, a local freight
brakeman, between this point and
Nashville, and hailing from Green.
brier, Tenn, was probably fatally
shot by w. L. Bradley, familiarly
known as "Kirk" Bradley, shortly
after eight o'clock Wednesday night,
near the foot entrance to the old
Fair Grounds. There were num-
Der of witnesses to the affair and a
rather conflicting story is told of
how the fight originated and when
the probably fatal shot was fired. To
sum up from all we were able to
learn the facts are about as follows I:
Mr.. Bradley is employed by the
old Fair Ground Association TO pro-
tect the grounds, buildings, fencing,
etc, occupying one of the houses on
the Grounds and at about s o'clock
on Wednesday night heard suspic-
ious noise on or near the premises
appearing as if Interpretations were be-
ing made and taking his pistol from
the mantle proceeded to investigate
matters. Finding that the noise
emanated from another direction he
became satisfied that nothing was
wrong on the premises and walked
down to the residence of his
son, which is only few steps away.
lie remained only few moments
when he started homeward and when
near the entrance to the Grounds was
hailed by Robert Nelson, who was
standing few yards away with a
group of six or eight men, who pro-
ceeded to apply epithets to him too
obscene for print. He warned him
against repetition of the language
but Nelson followed him up and
kicked him in the back. At this juno
ture Bradley with pistol in hand all
the while, fired, but the ball went
wide of its mark. Nelson then closed
with Bradley, telling him to the
ground by terrific lick on the back
of the neck aud fell heavily
upon him. Nelson Immediately arose
and cried out that he was shot and
at once weakened. The testimony
tho second shot Bradley fired
yet scuflling or whether the shot was
fired after they clinched and fell,
two shots were fired however. The
ball took effect about two inches to
the left of the navel and ranged
through the bowels and was probed
for by Drs. Fairleigh and Blakey,
who were summoned about a half
an hour later, but could not be found.
Nelson was removed to Mrs, Mitchells
boarding house near the cor. of Fifth
and Railroad Sts., where he had been
boarding. 1t is the opinion of the
doctors that he cannot recover and
his brother was telegraphed at Green
brier and arrived at 10 O'Clock yester-
day.
Bradley was arrested by Chief of
Police BiggerstafI, assisted by Police
men Wellington and Biggersiafi, at
his home, about thirty minutes after
the afTray, and was committed to Jail.
Judge Brasher will hold an examin-
ing trial as soon as the result of the
shot is known, at which time the full
and complete facts in the case as
given before the Court will be pub
lished.

Personal Points and pitby Paragraphs
From North Warren.

Several weddings should have been
mentioned last week, but we failed to
do so on account of being very close
ly pressed with other work. Among
the welded were Mr.. w. J. Sanders
to Miss Sallie Denton, and Mr..
Smith, the proprietor of the DeKalb
county silver mines, to Miss Florence
Cantrell, and Others which perhaps
have already been mentioned in some
of our papers.
Misses Ellen Wilson and Ollie Par
ker, who are attending school at Cen
trail College, were down home spend
ing the holidays among relatives and
old friends.
We had the pleasure of shaking
Prof. l.. p. Evans hand during
Christmas, and alsoOf greeting Mrs.
Evans. T
Miss Minnie Sanders is expecting
to begin school at Halcomb soon. We
bespeak for her a good attendance.
Miss Hattie Byars spent a night
here this week.
Miss Matte Bass closed school at
Green College last Friday, with the
good wishes of the little ones.
A general overhauling is taking
place at Dibrell this week. Mr.. Har-
rel Webb is taking stock in the store
at this place. Mr.. S. 7. West is mov-
ing his chattels and household goods
to McMinnville.
The old year and its many cares
and perplexities, its joys and sorrows,
are all passed-the new is just being
ushered in, and let the outlook be as
it may, it has been truly said that
"life is what we make it," Let every
one note this fact and be governed
accordingly.

A Curious Problem.

For the Standard.
The pupils of our schools will OBJ
serve, by the Almanac, that the
month of February 1888, has five
Wednesdays. This has not happened
before since the year 1860, and will
not happen again until 1916. The
years 1924, 1852, and 1880, each had
five Sundays in February. No 9TH
er year in the nineteenth century
has had, nor can have five Sundays
in February.
In the summer of 1924, the follow
ing curious problem appeared in
many of the periodicals of that time:
"The log-book of certain ship
that had sailed around the world,
showed that there were six Sundays
in February" Pupils in the schools
were requested to explain show this
could be-"
The ship sailed from Baltimore in
the summer of 1923, toward the coast
of Africa, rounded the Cape of Good
Hope, and, proceeding towards the
coast of Australia, passed through
Bass Strait, and, sailed toward New
Zealand, passed through Coot Strait,
and, continuing in her course toward
South America, doubled Cape Horn,
touched at Rio Janero, the West In
dies, and finally arrived at Baltimore,
Feb. 20, 1924. The ship, being sup
posed to have contagious disease on
board, was not permitted to land for
four days after her arrival. During
these four days, the captain frequent
ly spoke to the people on the shore,
by means of speaking trumpet.
The captain, or some other person
on the ship, writes something in the
log-book during every day of the
ships voyage. 1t shows the latitude
and longitude ofthe ship for every
day of its voyage, and for almost
every hour in the day; it also shows
the height of the thermometer and
Barometer, the direction of the wind,
the kind of weather, the name of
every island or port at which theship
has touched, or near which it has
sailed. 1t also tells on how many
Sundays the chaplain has held relig-
ious service.
The log-book of this ship showed
that there had been six Sundays in
February. If any pupil in our schools
will explain this, and send his or her
explanation to me, / will publish it
in the Standard and Era. Look in
a large Dictionary at the words, log,
log-board, and log-book, and you can
learn what these words mean.
