To The teacher, and Trustee, OF Madison County.

In view of the fact that the recent
Legislature extended or heightened
our schools from five to six months,
which is to take effect the ensuing
scholastic year, and having been asked
so often, what time or when schools
should begin. 1 deem it my duty to
suggest or advise as to the time of be-
ginning. will say in the outset, that
the law with reference to the time of
beginning was not changed, July lst
beng as early as schools can begin.
1 would advise as follows: In dis
tricts where the school is so situated
that pupils in attending school are COM
PEELED to travel over mud roads, cross
streams, climb hills, &C.. making it al
most impracticable to have more than
the SIX months tree school, that such
schools should begin first OF July, aud
continuous teaching without the loss of
any time would complete the school
before the Xmas Holidays. If this
Si0uiu nOb Dc uOlc, ltcli luc AcuklI'
ening of the school term would amount
to but little, because pupils would not
enter school after the holidays to at
tend a few days or weeks and but little
good, as before stated, would result
from the extra month. But, in dis
tricts where there is a village or where
the school is on turnpike or good
road, making the school accessible to
the pupils of the district at all times of
the year and where longer terms are
wanted, which by all means ought to
be the case, l would advise that an
eight mouths school be taught, five
months taught during the Fall and one
month be taught in connection with a
winter or spring scnool, to begin about
LIST Of February or March. OF course
one month of the Spring School would
be free to all the pupils of the district
wish to further advise that as the
State adoption of textbooks has not
yet been made or announced that
teachers continue to use the old books
that are now in use until the State
adoption is made and announced,
which l think will be only a short
time. Very respt

Restored to Her Foster Parents.

Twelve years, ago when a wee baby
of two years old, little.Maude Pittman
was left alone by her mother in brier
patch near Berea. Her cries attracted
Mr. Solomon Taylor, who found the
baby with scarcely any clothes on her
body, starved. and in a terrible condi-
zion every way. This kind man took
the little one to his home where she
was cared for for four years. Finally
Mrs. Taylor fell i'll and as there was no
one to take the proper care CT her, Mr..
Taylor started out to find a good home
for the little girl then about seven years
old. This lac was successful in secur-
ing with MIR. and Mrs. Thomas Clarke
who reside near Berea. These kind,
big hearted people took Maude, and
treated her as one of their own, final
ly becoming so attached to her that
they drew out adoption papers in the
Garrard Circuit Court, giving her the
name Of Maude Clarke aud making her
heir to her part Of their estate. Every
thing ran along smoothly and Maude
loved her foster parents devotedly,
knowing no others. Several days ago,
however, there came disturbance in
the happy little family. Humphrey
Pullman, the real father to the child,
in company with two friends went tc
this quiet little country home, nestled
down among the blue Cumberland
mills. and by all kinds of art and per-
haps threats, managed in getting
Maude, now young girl just budding
into womanhood, away from Mr.. and
Mrs. Clarke. She remained in this
city until Monday when Mr.. and Mrs.
Clarke secured lawyers and the case
was tried before Judge Turpin. After
hearing all the evidence, the case was
decided in favor of Mr.. and Mrs
Clarke. During the trial there were
manv eyes wet with tears, as the cir
cumstance was one that excited ths
sympathy of all acquainted with il
and the decision brought forth th'
widest applause. That was indeed I

Horses and Mules are IN Greater Demand at Pres
cut Than Ever Before.

Figures of the statisticIan of the de-
partment of agriculture show an in
crease of 1856 horses and 36,32S
head of mules over the totals given
out in 1908. The good demand for
horses and mules at the present time
and the small increase indicated show
the Importance of the farmers of the
middle south giving more attention to
the breeding of animals in the imme-
diate future than has been done in the
past few years.
The mule breeding interest is con-
fiend to a comparatively small area of
the United States, centering chiefly in
the middle south, including the states
of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louis
ana, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Ken
lucky and Missouri. The largest num-
Der of mules are found in Texas, with
Mississippi and Missouri second and
third. The high price of cotton at the
present time insures good market for
mules for some time to come, and it
would take several years of systematic
breeding to overstock the market,
judging from the present demand for
good animals.

Water for Paint Lick.

Mr.. w. l.. Veach, representing w. f.
Caldwell d Co., of Louisville, was at
Paint Lick Saturday for the purpose of
making an estimate on the cost of the
water works which the enterprising
citizens of that village propose to build
in the near future. The town is so
situated that a complete water system
can be installed at very small cost.
A large reservoir will be constructed on
the bill on the Madison side, which is
high enough to give abundant pressure.
The water question has been agitated
at Paint Lick some time and the recent
disastrous fires have caused the bust
ness men of the town to think of it
more seriously than ever before.
