A GALA
EVENT.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. N. Miller En-
terrain in Honor of
Their Guests.
The Yard Was Brilliantly IlIuml-
mated With Fancy Japanese
Lanterns.

HARDINsBURe, KY, Aug. 6.-(Specisl)
On the evening OF August I'd, at the
hospitable home of Mr.. and Mrs. r n.
Miller, there was given a reception in
honor Of Misses Frances and Emily
McAteer, two charming and accomp-
lished visitors from Louisville. The
yard was lighted with numerous Jap
anese lanterns, and the house beautifully
decorated with flowers and potted plants.
As the guests were reCsived, each gen.
tleman was presented a card on which
was written list OF the virtues OF man
kind, and each lady was requested to
write her name on the several cards, OPP
posite that particular virtue which
seemed to be possessed by the GENTLE
man presenting the list. By this ar
rangement delightful conversations we're
had by each person with all those pres
ent. Afterward there was handed to
each guest conundrum or its answer,
and the partners thus made, we're in
Yited to the dining room where an ele-
CANT repast was served,
Music, games, cake-walking and dane
ing whiled happily away the time, and
it was not until after the midnight hour
that the last departing guest made his
adieu.
Mrs. Miller is an ideal hostess, pos
sessiug that rare and happy grace of inn
mediately placing at perfect ease every
gust that enters her home.
Those present were: Misses McAteeT,
Dinnie Haswell, Irene Board, Bessie
Beard, Nita Beard, Eva Hensley, Mary
Smith, Anna Gardner, Lille Scott, Mary
Board, Emma Bighsm, Messrs. John P
Haswell, Herbert and Harold Beard

ROBERTS AND COKE
fleet With Fine Encouragement for
the B. N. College.

Prof. Roberts and Milton Coke who
have charge Of the Breckenridge Normal
CC llege at HardinsbuTg for the ensuing
year, have just returned from a tour
over part of Meade and Breckenridge
counties and they report very lattering
encouragement for fine school at Har-
dinsbuTg this fall. The session opens
the first Monday in September and Mr..
Roberts insured a News man that the
opening attendance this fall would be
much larger than at any time previous
in the history Of the institution. These
men are first class educators and their
united effort to build up a fine school at
Hardinsburg should meet with the CO.
operation of the people, especially Of
Breckenridge county.
The News feels an interest in the sue
cess Of the Hardinsburg college and we
see no reason why the town should not
be made a frst.Class college town
Roberts and Coke are up-to.date educa
tors and wide awake active men and II
the institution is not a success while
they are in charge it will not be for
want OF activity on their part.

VIII dive S1Oo Each.

The building Of good and substantial
road beds throughout the county is the
subject Of conversation of every person
you meet. All good and progressive
citizens have awaken to the necessity Of
good roads With the work that is now
being done by experienced men and to
make this lasting, a rock crusher should
by all means be purchased. 1t is under
stood that the Cincinnati CoOperage Co.,
and Payne & Co., hardware merchants,
OF this city, will each donate 500 to the
purchase of one of these valuable ma
chimes for this district to aid in the con-
struciton of roads.

Then there is Mr.. E. Burch, over at
Paynesville, who has located the enemy
. to certainty, and turned loose his artil-
isry in Last weeks News. do not know
B1r. BurcH. but his letter is nothing but
ssnse from beginning to end and will do
good. Show the farmers the light and
t,ey can go to it, but must grope in
darkness until they do see the light This
light is knowledge, and with knowledge
comes new views of things.
The farmer is looking in the wrong di-
rectSn for his help.
lie has been taught that he needs a
change in politics when in reality he
needs only what Mr. Burch was abiding
acknowledge.
We all have much to learn about this
business, farming, and there is no place
80 good for us to learn, as at the far
mer's meetings, for the table Is full of
knowledge and there is no danger of the
farmers mind starving.
What shall it profit man if he saYes
ST.. by not attending institute meetings
and loses $40. in his next years farm
products.
The sole object of these meetings is to
convert erring brethren to rational
methods. We do not expect Fourth OF
July orations, nor professionally language
when farmer gets up to talk, for we do
not want it, but want plain common
sense experience told in ones own style.
This is the farmers day, the farmers
meeting.
Politicians will find more congenial
company elsewhere, and persons desiring
to announce themselves as. candidates,
can never do it from our stand.
