A Grand Success.

The play Yankee Detective" given
by the Sorg Dramatic Company, at the
Sorg school house on the evenings of
June 1st and Sth, was grand success in
every respect. The audience was very
large both evenings, and the Club will
clear all expenses, which will insure a
new entertainment in the near future,
in connection with the old standby i,
Uncle Toms Cabin.
The characters were finely represented
and the play tip top, throughout, but 1
will make mention of the following in
particular: Allen McQuitty, as Old Ten /.
nessee Sam, played his part to perfection
and at every move brought down the
house. Ella Carr, as Mrs. Willoughby,
and Mimic Donohoo, as Lulu South ard,
were first class in their respective parts.
But the principal hits of the play were
made by G. E. Wilson, as splinters F. G.
Carr, as Yankee Detective, and Mrs.
Anna Sanders, as Granny While.
The Club wish to return their thank
to the public at large for their assistance
and to those who were present for their
good order, with the exception OF one
very prominent young gentleman. The
Club should undoubtedly have the sup.
port OF the community, if they desire to
keep up series OF entertainments. ~

Prof. Henery G.. Williams, author of
"Outlines of Psychology, has used in
the new edition Of that work new
pronoun, "thon", for the third person,
singular number, common gender. Not.
withstanding the fact that the English
language is the most composite Of all
languages and hence one of the most
complete in its expressiveness, there
is in it no pronoun to represent either
male or female in the third person,
singular. The new word, thon, comes
from the two words the one, by blend.

Us we would have to put it without this
word we would say: Every student
should acquaint himself or herself with
some method by which he or she can
positively correlate the facts of his or
her knowledge" Either put it in that
way or make the pronouns all mascu-
line. We say, at is the duty Of every
teacher to study his profession, when
we know that 65 per cent
of the teachers of the United
States are ladies. To say that every
teacher should study her profession,
would sound very unjust to the male
portion of the 1926 900 teachers. To say
his or her profession sounds worse than
either Of the other two incorrect ex-
pressions. To correct it and make the
whole expression euphonious, we would
say, "It is the duty OF every teacher to
study thons profession"

Times Changes.

Away back in lS4S, the writer, then a
boy residing in Maysville, Kentucky,
visited McCormick's Springs, in Lewis
county, KY, and fished in the Kinnick.
mick, near the Carter County Caves.
McCormick's SPRINGS were mile beyond
Esculapia. Esculapia was even then a
noted place, and managed by Cincin.
natl gentleman with the high sounding
name of Marcus Tullius Cicero Gould.
McCornick's was an humber place, and
not much considered by the fashionable
society of the time. At each each place
were sulphur and chalybea springs.
Now, since the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad has built line along the Ohio
River, the once obscure Mccormick
Springs have become great resort and
are known as the Glenn Springs, while
their attractions have thrown in the
shade Esculapia. Access to both places
is obtained from Vanceburg, KY. The
springs are so near to each other there
is much visiting back and forth, and in
this respect resemble Sweet Springs and
Red Chaly ybeate, Virginia. The sulphur
and chalybeate waters are considered
equal to any in the United States. The
scenery is rugged and romantic and is
much like that in parts OF Adams and
Pike counties, in Ohio.
The population of all hill countries is
similar, and the same types exist in
Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and
western North Carolina.
In 1S4S there lived on the Kinnicki.
nick noted hunter named Larkin Lyle.
His cabin was the rallying point for the
visitors from Maysville, especially hunt.
ers.
Not far away were the caves. These
caves are now reached by branch OF
the @. & O. Railroad from Stone City.
They are called Oil go.nunk, or the
Place of Caves, and visited by hundreds
of tourists every year. They are illus.
trated in the magazines, and fitted up so
as to be accessible. In lS4S they could
only be reached by foot trail from the
road, and were considered as dens for
counterfeiters. At that time panthers,
wild cats and bears were abundant in the
hills of Lewis and Carter counties. Deer
were also plenty. These have disappear.
ed. But, the snakes still remain, Gust
as in Adams county, Ohio to remind us
of the fall OF man.
There is yet no more interesting tour
left than visit to the Glenn and Escu-
lapia springs, and a drive over the
mountain roads from there to the Carter
county caves.
One must get away from the lines of
railroad to see the country properly.
We too often go far from home to find
what is at our own doors. Glenn Springs
and Esculapia and Oli.go-nunk are here
mentioned as suggestions for an outing
by our Hillsboro schools, which would
not be expensive, and need not take
more than three or four days absence
from home, it longer time could not be
spared.

A Card.

Under the above head the Iri County
NeaDs says
After having had an interview with
H. D. Davis, it is my opinion that he
has been accused, both by myself and
others, OF deeds of which he is innocent,
and these charges, so far as l am con-
cerned, are cheerfully withdrawn. The
unfortunate affair seems to haye been
premeditated on the part of others who
may dance to lively tune at no distant
day.
Mr.. Davis has withdrawn the charges
of blackmail and persecution against me
and it is hoped the unpleasantness may
quickly be forgotten.

Don't Build There.

Those who advocate the location of
the proposed new school building on
the site of the present Institute building
are, perhaps, in the main, unfamiliar
with the facts in the case. The ground
is in the shape of wedge, and to put
the new structure as far back as possible
would leave but about five feet of space
on either side. Then the old building
would have to be torn down, leaving
the schools that have used it to be pro
vided with other quarters for year or
80. Again, the ground does not belong
to the city. 1t could only be leased,
and the School Board would have to
guarantee it's use exclusively for school
purposes for ninety.nine years. This,
no Board would feel like doing. That
we need school, no one who has made
any investigation can deny. But it
should not be placed upon the little
tiat.iron, where there is no adequate
play ground, and where the rooms must
be showed right up against the dust and
racket OF two thoroughfares.

The pretty village of Hollis, y. Y, was
recently excited overthe mystery surround
ing the shooting of fine Jersey cow owned
by Farmer Fredercks, a peaceful tiller of
Hollis productive soil.
The farmer was aroused late that night
by terrific explosion at the rear of the
house. He ran down stairs, and Selling

about the premises No evil effects of the
explosion were then apparent, so he went

When the shooting of the COW became
known in the village, everything else was
forgotten, even politics. Everybody won
dered who the guilty person was-that is,
everybody except one young mamie knew.
Farmer Fredericks would probably never
have learned who shot the COW had it not
been for the kicking qualities Of his double
barreed shotgun.
While his pretty daughter Phoebe was
standing at the gate talking with Coles
Hendrickson Friday evening Farmer Fred

passed near them. As he did so he over
heard Coles tell Phoebe that his arm had

Farmer Fredericks did not want to be
deemed as an eavesdropper but he could
not restrain himself. He made his presence
known to the young couple, and in the same
breath demanded an explanation from Hen
Erickson.
The Dung man, finding he was caught,
made {, full confession He told Farmer
Fredel cks that he had escorted Phoebe
home from church on Sunday night. as
usual, and that after they had been in the
house awhile they heard a strange noise in

farmer.

them, but Us soon as il became known
that the southern states had seeded and

for the first time in their lives an awful
anxiety to learn what was going on in
the outside world. Bradley blacksmith

would come to the hills, for they knew
it must come as the only relief to the
