into. School Supplies Taken.

Miss Lucy PeighteI, teacher OF
the Meadowgrouud school, IN
Ayr township, had surprise
when she returned to her school
on Monday morning of last week.
The first thug to attract her at.
teution as she approached the
house was, that the door was
standing open. She we'll remem-
bered having locked it when she
left the house on the preceding
FRIDAY evening. When she en-.
iered the house, however, 1t did
not take ber long to discover that
something had been doing" dur
ing her absence. The stove and
desks were there, but about ev.
erythlng else that was portable,
had been taken away. Her en-
tire stock of school supplies, to-
gether with mary of the books,
were among the articles missing,
and compelled her TO adopt the
oral method Of instruction with
her pupils for tie time being.
There Is no reasou for the raid
as far as the teacher is concern
ed, for she has shown herself TO
be very capable instructor.

EMBARGO ON FARMERS.

The miners union has placed
an embargo on the small farmers
Of those Kentucky counties In
which coal is produced in quantl-
ties, and where good work and
wages are offered to the citizens
Of the State based upon the de-
mand for labor. In future any
farmer in Kentucky, who wishes
DO work in or around coal mines
controlled by the miners union,
must pay the exorbitant tax OF
325 into the Golfers of the union
Before he will be permitted to
work. This will be collected in
form of initiation fee into the
United Mine Workers union,
which he must JOIN before he is
allowed to work in a union mine.
This action was taken In the
State convention of union coal
miners at Louisville on Friday,
and is on record in the Louisville
daily press. Even this large tax
was not thought sufficient by
some who wanted to make the
Zee entirely prohibitive and ad-
Tocated that it be placed at $50
instead of $25. j. ID. Wood, now
secretary-treasurer of the union
ipr this district, was one of the
leaders in the movement for the
$50 rate, and stated in the dis
eussion that many farmers, after
harvesting their crops, were in the
habit during winter months and
antil time to plant another crop,
&c working in the coal mines of
bhe State. These farmers are
elassed by the union as mon
PRACTICAL miners and it is pro-
posed to make them pay privi-
lege tax of $25 each before they
can again indulge in their choice
Of mine work for their winter
occupation.
Fortunately, in Hopkins, Web
ster and Christian counties no
such tax will have to be paid by
the small farmer who prefers
work every day at the mines to
spending his spare time in idle
ness. For in these counties the
miners union does not rule and
sannot dictate a citizens occu-
patton nor impose a privilege tax
payable to itself.

Advertisingpays because we know
that experience has taught us that
no h!m, however small, can exist
long without advertising, especially
in home papers.
A prospective purchaser consults
newspaper advertisements just as he
does an encyclopedia for informa-
ton on other subjects, and nearly
always patronizes the firms therein
represented.
Advertising is the cheapest, quick
est and most extensive agency en-
ployed to solicit patronage from
thousands, near and far, and the
easiest way to find location.
Advertising pays because it is an
ltemized reminder to the people of
their needs. 1t locates articles,
states prices, and thus helps people
to buy intellIgently.
An attractive advertisement in a
newspaper brings before the public
the goods you have for sale and
