State Teachers Association.

The proceedings of the largest and
altogether the most successful annual
meeting of the State Teachers Associa-
tion, held at West Point in April last,
are published in very neat pamphlet
of 1874 pages. In addition to the min
utes, and the rolls of officers and mem
bers there are eighteen papers on live
school topics-most of them well writ
ten; several could have been improved
by putting them in better shape for the
printer and proof reader. 1t will not
be difficult to find many practical and
helpful suggestions in these papers
They are valuable contribution to the
educational progress of the State, and
are richly worth the cost of printing
them. President G. F. Boyd has mann
Tested good deal of ofinterest in getting
them through the press.
Some claim that "a man with one
eye sees best;" and we have heard it
suggested that a man with two eyes
sometimes ''sees double" And this
reminds US that very special news
paper friend of ours, the editor of the
vicksburg Post, has only one eye,
with which he manages to see what is
going ON This, from our journal of
the vicksburg seige, explains how he
lost the other: May 20, 1868. =
John G. eastman, of our regimental
band, who took musket this morning
and went to the trenches, was severely
wounded-a ball first striking the bar
rel of his gun, hit him in the mouth,
knocking out his front teeth, and so
seriously injuring one of his eyes it
will have to be removed"
The Pascagoula Democrat-Star talks
sense in the following paragraph: "The
supervisors will pass on oil pension ap.
plications in September. Those who
are justly entitled should receive all
they can get, and those who are not
should be made to understand they are
not in it. 1t is fraud and an outrage
on the deserving INDECENT to have the
good intentions of the State thwarted
by dead beats who have no claim what
ever upon this fund. The supervisors
cannot make their inquiries too search
ing, and if they will call on the Con-
federate camps they may learn thing
or two about claimants"

The engineer misunderstood the signals
and there was a frightful railroad collis-
ion, with terrible loss OF life The whole
country was appalled, by that accident
There is doubtless far greater loss of
life occurring every day, in various sec
tons of the country, for which the only
excuse is" the doctor didn't under
stand the symptoms" These cases are
not the subjects of special inquest or the
country would be aghast at the sacrifice
of life to ignorance.
It has been the experience of DR.. r. V.
Pierce and his staff of assistant physi-

ing lungs have been absolutely cured by
the use of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical

Taylor Ignorant.

Happily our State and Federal
forms of government are 80 consti-
tuted that it is difficult for a single
man, no matter how high his posi-
tion may be, to wreck one of them
in a single term of Office; but the
recent performances at Frankfort
show that had Taylor been permit
ted to occupy the Governors Office
undisturbed for the full term, even
in time of profound peace, the
State would have been in consider
able peril from his incompetence

HAD GoEBEL LIVED
KentuCkY's Pane Would Have
Been Cleared.

Springfield, Ohio, Feb. Mr.
d. j. Thomas, a former Kentuck-
ian, now prominently connected
with the press of this city, said, in
commenting upon the assassination
of Gov. Goebel "Had Goebel
lived Kentucky's fair fame would
have been cleared of the stain of
mountain feuds, law defiance and
cooperative control. The martyred
Governor knew his ground, had at
his command the necessary means,
and possessed the nerve to use the
same. The fight will go on, and
Kentucky will be redeemed, but it
may be years before such leader
as Goebel appears again. His fight
with death ended in his only defeat,
and Goebers memory will forever
be an inspiration for ambitious
youth and men who would serve
their fellows"

Laughing NIGHT.

Manager N. A. Wilkerson announ-
Gee .hs. F:irsy Feb, 18th, will he
the big laughing night of the theatre
cal season of 1899 and 1900, when
that iingling comedy, 1.-TWO Merry
Trsmps" will be presented. This
play has possibly made more people
forget their troubles for an evening
and created more genuine laughter
than any of the farce comedies which
have been seen of late yesrs.
The author claims plot for the
play, but when asked to define it ex-
plains it to be a plot upon the part of
the comedians to convulse the audi
ence with laughter, and while hilsr
ity sometimes proves fatal, it seldom
occurs, 50 the actors are safe In con-
tinuing the conspiracy An unusu-
ally large and capable company of
comedian, singers, dancers and mu-
sicians have been engaged for this
seasons production. New songs, mu-
sical numbers etc, will te introduced
in quick succession during each act,
and as fine company carry a splendid
male qusrtette, the musical features
will be much in evidence, something
slw rye enjoyed bv all.

FACTs AND OBSERVATIONS
OUR Fixes.

OOh Clhho.
Recently our travels have been
on the railroad, so we have seen
but little of the pixies in the coun-
ty.
The heavy rains for few days
have rendered them more disagree
able.
On Thursday the writer had oc-
casion to go to Spencer in a buggy
and he could not help but notice
the serious defects in the pike;
water running across or in the
pike, rough places, mud holes, thin
rock etc. Many people will, as the
months go by, doubt whether the
freeing of the pixies was a wise or
economic measure, when comfort
and convenience of the travelling!
public is considered. The. road
commissioners have an important
and probably an unappreciated task
before them,
Our time was limited, so inter
views were only two, short and to
the point, for an important matri-
monial engagement must be prompt
ly met.
H. c. Ledford q Son have been
in business since Aug, 9th.
The father, H. c., had previous
ly been engaged in the general mer-
camille business at Spencer for six
years, being under different firms
associated with j. B. Duff & J.
T. Coons.
He was born in Harlan county,
KY, in 1852 and has lived in Bath
and Montgomery counties for fif-
teen years.
He married Miss Millie Ann
Evans, of Lee county, and they
have eight children-fiVe daughters
and three sons.
Associated with him in business
is his son, Charles E. now 20years
old-still unmarried, a polite en-
terprising young man, who will, we
trust, be a success in business, and
make happy the life of some young
woman.
The firm carries a stock averag- |
ing about $4,000 and deal in ties
and lumber on Red river, in Pow
ell county.
We next dropped into the store |
of Mccormick Bros, shook hands
around, distributed copies of the
ADVOCATE and proceeded to busi-
ness.
The firm is composed of Allen |
AMI Fred mcCOrmick. Tine senior
member is to all appearances over
33 years old, is a Democrat, is ex-
tensivcly known and is a native of
this county. The only office thus
far held by him, was that of As
SCISSOR from 1894 to 1897. What
will come next time will reveal.
He married Miss Belle, the
daughter of Peter Greenwade and |
wife. Their home is blessed with
three children.
The firm began business in Mar,
of last year, succeeding the firm,
Greenwade d Horton. This is

OoEBEL's BLOOD ON THE FLAG.

PAINTED at Frankfort, Ky, Jan. 3o.]
That morn the sun came up in the east
And threw out bright shafts of light,
But it could not smile on us that day,
SO it silently passed out of sight,
And nature dropped a sable cloud,
And the wind walled softly and low
And waited across Kentucky's soil
A mantle of virgin snow.
Oh! the colors were sadly displayed that
day,
And it cost a statesman true
His blood for the red, while the snow
made the white
And the sky above made the blue.
Grief ragged wild in many hearts,
And many the tears that were shed,
When the cruel message was passed along
That our gallant leader was dead.
An assassin had dealt a cruel blow
And Goebel's blood had flowed
Heaven tried to weep,
But the deed was SO cold that It showed.
oh! the colors were sadly displayed that
day,
And it cost a statesman true
His blood for the red, while the snow
made the white
And the sky above made the blue.
The soldiers came and stacked their arms,
Bnt the colors we're rent apart;
For villains had painted the red in the
stripes
And the nation abhorredstheir art.
so the beautiful blue fioated high above.
While the stripes were trampled below,
For the stars and the sky made the field

Oh! the colors were sadly displayed that
day,
And it cost a statesman true
His blood for the red, while the snow
made the white
And the sky above made the blue
But an unseen Presence that is ever near
Stretched forth magic hand
And snatched him back from the jaw Of
death
And made him first man of the land.
The power of their vengeance could not
stay his course .cs-..-a s-..-..
When a victim lie fell 10 the foe,
The hand of Providence bore him on
And covered his blood with snow.
OH the colors were sadly displayed that
day,
And it cost a statesman true
His blood for the red, while the snow
made the white
And the sky above made the blue.
The Father in Heaven who witnessed the
plot
According to deed will reward;
They may have the power to escape the
law,
But vengeance is mine, saith the
Lord.
TheIife of brave Goebel may soon flicker
out,
Bu this name lives forever-for lol
Whenever we turn our eyes to the flag
Wer think of his blood and the snow.
OH the colors were sadly displayed that
day,
And it cost a statesman true
His blood for the red, while the snow
made the white
And the sky above made the blue.
