The Lying Of Cbildjrn

There seems to be a tendency in nearly all ciii-
drcn 10 deceive. and it naniicsis itself at an carly
age. The motives which actuaic children to lie are
somewhat different from those by which adults are
influenced in the same direction. While the reasons
are about as numerous and diverse as the liars them
selves. still they can nearly all be classified under
one OF the following heads Lies OF imagination.

Older people lie, because OF too much confidence
placed in them BY their parents.

Miss Ida, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Andrews, who live near

a long while, died Monday. Her
death was not unexpected. She has
been an invalid for many years. To
the bereaved parents, brothers and
sisters, we extend our heartfelt con-
dolence.
Rev. H. E.. Trip filled his ap-
pointment here Sunday afternoon to
a crowded school house, in his usual
happy and pleasant manner. After
the sermon he made an earnest an
peal to the young men, to awake and
grasp every opportunity of promo
ton and education, which presents
itself to them. Thea he appealed to
the Pikeville people as a whole. to
do something towards erecting the
new church here. A town is usual
ly judged, by outsiders, by it's pub
lie buildings, and especially it's places
of worship. Nc citizen of Pikeville
can reasonably expect people who
do not know us well, to give us
credit for the usual progressive spir-
it which pervades our town until we
erect a creditable house of worship.
Let US talk it up, work it up, and
push it up at home and abroad, un-
til we have our church. We have a
school and school record which
larger towns would boast of. The
same cooperation which made the
school al make a church.
