The Fayette Journal goes for our
senior United States Senator quite
lively in Its latest issue. which !s
further proof that the senior Senator
must have told fits editor to trust
in" him and that the editor did so but
trusted him in vain, as many other
fellow Republicans had done before.

HARLAn's LIBRARY SITUATION.
Tax Voted in 1904 Was Never Levied
Last Effort Being Made.

Special to Times
Harlan, Sept. 25.-After twelve years
of earnest effort to give Harlan a free
public library, the ladies of the local
P. E. o. chapter have about decided
to discontinue the enterprise, and will
do SO unless the public shows sufficient
interest to perfect an organization that
will take the management and guaran-
tee the future support of the library.
At the city election in March, 1904,
a proposition was submitted to vote
of the people, and two mill tax was
voted for the support of public Ii
brary, the ladies offering to turn the
books of the P. E. o. library over to
the public, free of charge. The tax,
however. has never been levied.
An effort is now being made to per-
feet a new organization, devoted sole
ly to the maintenance of public IL
brary, and reading room. Unless this
is done Harlan will soon be without
library. as the ladies' have decided that
their organization can no longer main
tain one.

One morning q few weeks ago, an
old man stood in his yard looking out
over a cornfield that had been visited
by heavy wind the preceding night,
and thinking the thoughts, no doubt,
that must come unbidden to ev-
cry one who has 1lusked corn day after
day in such fields, when a passerby
asked him for an audible expression of
opinion ON the prospect. Turning
around he pointed to the tangled,
fattened field near the center of which
a couple of small calves were stand
ing, and said with a smile. well,
anyway find mine caffs;I hunt two days
for them already" "It is an ill wind
that blows no good" remarked the
sage of long ago, but it is not every
body that is able to apply it in such
cases, or is even willing to make the
attempt.

be sufficient ground for granting
divorce, the mere fact that one party
may want divorce and the other re-

by refusing divorces to two women
who were applicants for legal separa-
ton from their husbands. Mrs. Artie
James and Mrs. Lucy ]. Springer were
in court, alleging cruel treatment, but
the only thing they could prove was
desertion for an insufficient period OF
