Charcoal is one of the greatest purifiers

Charcoal is one of the greatest purifiers
of water that we have. Water or any
substance allowed to percolate through it
will be freed of all animal organisms or
foreign particles. 1t is one of the best
sweeteners of the breath. After hearty
meal it is splendid thing for the stomach
if added to it is little ginger. 1t is ex-
cellent with which to cleanse the teeth, for
it removes fungus growth that many tooth
powders fail to touch. 1t relieves pain
caused by burn.

AT CHRISTMAS TIME.
BY INEZ MAY FELT.

BY lNEL MAY FELT.
Within an old cathedral dim
The white-robed choir chant a hymn,
That old, old story DER again,
Ofpedce OIL earth, good will toward men.
\ holy silence fills the air,
And every head is bowed in prayer,
While from the tower the joy-bells chime
At Christmas time.
Far out upon the briny deep
The mariner his watch doth keep
For his bright, guiding Bethlehem star,
The beacon light that shines afar;
And. as he sees its kindly rays,
He thinks of home and other days
OF loved ones in distant cline
All Christmas time.
Again at the old homestead's door
Dear friends and kindred meet once more,
To sit around the hearthstOnes glow,
And hark to bells across the snow.
They talk of youth and hope aud love,
And gently speak of those above.
The misSirs ones, with fuith sublime,

The situation in Russia grows
worse as time moves on. There
seems but little hope of averting
insurrection, although M. Witte
is still urging the necessity of
time to bring about the changes
the people are wanting. It is a
fearful state for any people or
government, but outrageous treat
ment brings about an intracible
opposition and excites unbridled
which in this case points
to fearful conditions throughout
the empire. The soldiers are re-
belling in many places and the
public mind is in a most, excited
state. Nothing great is lightly
won and diamonds are not secured
for trifles.g To bring about free
dom, to establish just govern
ment, usually means fearful costs
in treasury and life, but when
won on the bloody field of battle
are usually enduring.

1t is folly to impose a tax on
dogs for the protection of sheep.
There may be few to many dogs
and rather than pay the tax some
would kill off their canine, but in
the majority of cases the tax
would be paid or the dogs given
away to those who have none of
the barking tribe. The protec-
ton for sheep lies in good wire
fences around their pastures, and
the shot gun policy with all dogs
that break in. The poor man will
not willingly pay tax on his dog,
and the man or set Of men, who
may secure the passage Of that
dog bill that. will be presented at
the next meeting Of the Legisla-
ture, will doubtless rue their act
ion, when they find out the width
of opposition. 1t WILDE as broad
as the latitude of Kentucky and as
long as her longitude. From the
Cumberland to the Ohio, from
the Big Sandy to the Mississippi,
it will be condemned by four
fifths of the people.

We want it distinctly Under
stood that we believe as strongly
as any man in life insurance and
at no time have we Intentionally
discouraged it's ever increasing
strength and benefits. This state
ment is made for the benefit of
an agent who complained that
our issue of last week was rather
sweeping, as all companies have
not been accused or found guilty
of recklessly using the money of
policy holders. In our judgment
every person who can get insur-
ance ought to have a policy, and
it is also our opinion that the Sc
verer the medicine applied to
the unfaithful officials of the COM
panies that have betrayed the
spirit of trust, the better it will
be for the companies and the
people at large. The light has
been turned on and gastly graft
and greed exposed, and still the
policy holders in every company
are better by having their poll
cies. True, as between a compa-
ny that has stood the searchlight
of skillful experts in the conduct
of business and a clear record
shown, and the one proven guilty
of misrepresentation, the average
man would prefer insurance in
the former. It is our opin-
ion that insurance will not be
hurt by the exposures already
made or that may be made in the
future, but rather advanced aft
er the field has been cleared of
it's grafters.

BAND ENTERTAINMENT.

The Columbia Band entertainment.
given In the court house Monday night,
was success in every particular, not
withstanding the dates for giving the
entertainment, had been shifted from
time to time, due from different causes
over which, it had no control, vet a
large audience was present, which
showed III t the people of this
section enjoy good thing and are ev-
er ready to aid and encourage that
which tends t., advance the interest of
Columbia.
The opening address was made nv
Rev. A. r. Kasey, who stuck close to
the subject OF music, pointing out it's
worth to every community in no un-
certain way. His compliments to the
Band and its worth to the town could
easily be summed up in this language
The rand is worthy the patronage and
encouragement of the people, it tends
to better social relations and furnishes
good, wholesome entertainment. alike
helpful to the old and the young. It's
efforts are highly encouraging, and de-
serve unstinted aid and encourage
menr, which should be given.
Inc program consisted of solos, piano
auets' REGULATIONS, interspersed with
band music, and was comnleted IN o
little over an hour in most satisfacto-

The Educational improvement

The Educational Improvement
Commission. of Kentucky, has
our unqualified endorsement in
it's effort to advance the cause of
education in this grand old Com
monwealth. It is the purpose of
this commission to establish bet
ter schools in every district in the
State and one of the most potent
powers to bring about this happy
state of advancement is through
the proper training of the teach
ers which must be accomplished
through State Normal Schools if
the work is to be as broad as out
lined in the minds and ambitions
of the members in charge of this
most important work. If there
is one proposition of greater inn
p0rtance than another that should
have the hearty and unbounded
support of the State it is the edu-
cation Of the people, the making
of good citizenship. To do this
the school is the main and most
important agent, and that agents
worth is only equal to the ability
and fitness of it's instructor. To
have good schools we must have
able teachers, and to have thor
oughly prepared teachers, we
must have schools in which to

other propositions are embodied
In his message. Taking the en-
tire document one can only say
it is a forceful, plain statement
touching on the most important
policies, conditions and future of
our country, socially, morally and

measure it appears to us sound
id logic and practible in policy.

every one present. Mrs Rollin Hurt
sang two solos which received merited
applause and the piano duets rendered
by Misses Betsey and Martha Hancock
were as good as ever heard in this town.
The quartette by four young men, re-
ceived such appreciation as to call them
to the stage the second time and softly
and sweetly they touched the chorus
and bowed Acknowledgements of ap-
probation to the audience. The Band
did its full duty and the several pieces
renedred were not only good and stir
ring but above criticism and spoke in no
uncertain tone as to the advancement
it is making under the efficient
training of their instructor, Prof. M.
F. Lawrence, who has proven his abili-
ty as band teacher as well as estab-
lished himself gentleman in this COM
munity.
To our mind and makeup the most
attractive figure Eand most enjoyable
feature of the entire programme was
the effort of that sweet little girl, Sallie
Nell Hancock, whose voice was clear,
accent good nd who so sweetly
rounded the sentences and sertim ent
of that sOlo-Missouri. Deep down in
the heart every one present could not
help from saying, God bless the sweet
little girl. Her effort alone was worth
the price of admission.
Rev. Kasey, in few well worded
sentences, expressed the gratitude of
the Band to the people and the people
to the Band and then it was all over.

touches some delicate points, but
does it in a skilful manner, clear

the murderous striker is no worse
than the brutal, avaricious CAPT

child labor and women in the or

opposes and calls attention to the
serious consequences they will
produce in later years, basing his
