The prize was awarded by @ vote

Owensboro, KY, Oct. 27, 1902.
We are most pleasantly situated
in our new home, with all the neces-
stiles of life about us and many new
made friends to cheer us. The old
time method of pounding the preach
er was practiced on us our first
night, and we are still feasting on
the good things brought us. We
have good, loyal band of members
in our church here, although they
hove been somewhat tempest tossed
for the last few years. There seems
to seems to be better day dawning
for them and already the signs indi-
cate good year this time.
The people have taken hold of the
pastor and his wife and we are going,
by Gods grace, to lead them on to
victory.
We have lovely little home, with
all the heavy furnished, furnished;
and we are keeping house now like
old-timers. When you come to
OwensbOro drop in to see your old
pastor and wife who love you all.
Our congregations are growing al
ready, and as we go out into the
field and mix with these people we
expect to see it grow great deal.
We already love our people and
thank God for the opportunity of do
ing good for them. We shall always
love the friends of our past two
years, and wish them all the bless
ings that are due the faithful.
With greetings and salutations to
pastor and people we are, with graf
itude and love,

THE NAN AHEAD.
BLUE @. BARD.

There's the man behind the counter
And the man behind the gun,
The man behind the buzz-saw
And the man behind the sun.
There's the man behind the times,
The man behind with rent,
The man who spends his money
And never has a cent.
There's the man behind the kodak
And the man behind the cars,
The man behind on pay day
And the man behind the bars.
But there is another man
OF whom nothing much is said !;
He is the fellow who is even,
Or little bit ahead.
He always pays for what he gets,
His bills are always signed.
He's a darn sight more important
Than the man who is behind.
All the editors. and merchants
And the whole commercial clan
Are indebted for existence
To this noble, honest man.
He keeps them all in business
And his town is never dead,
And so we take our hat off
To the man who is ahead.

Strange but True.

The girls in Darlington would be
indignant if someone were to tell
them that boys have more self re-
spect than they have, yet such is the
fact. There is not young man of
any degree. of responsibility who
would be seen walking down the
street with girl who drinks or uses
profane, vile language. You might
search the streets with finetooth
comb and you would not be able to
find a young man who would lock
arms and walk down the street with
young lady putting cigar or
squirting tobacco juice all over the
sidewalk, Yet the girls do not hesi-
tate to accept such company and far
too many of them tolerate things in
men that would in no case be allow
ed by the opposite sex. Society will
be refined only when the girls de-
mand of the boys who desire to pay
them attention the same purity of
character and high moral standard
the boys demand of them. 1t is IN
the power of the young ladies of this
land to inaugurate and successfully
carry on one of the greatest waves
of moral reform that has ever swept
over this land of ours and 1T remains
to be seen who will have the cour-
age to. take the initial step in the
right direction.
