election law, and they are infamous
from start to finish"
Mr. Hopkins called Mr. Hughes to tn,
chair and put our own inimitable Jo P
Kidd in nomination for Congress. II

office, he did no good TO his party in
the Kennedy-Chrosthwaite contest tr
which he referred. Mr.. Hughes PIE.
dicted that no child born this year would
live long enough to see Lowrence
County again won by Democrats.
When the vote was taken on the nom

from the rear of the house, provoked
Mr. Hughes to shout, "You are Demo
Gratis" this they denied
Mr. Kidd was presented by the Chair,
as "The man who has succeeded il
arresting the progress of backwardnes'
in Lawrence County"
Mr. Kidd said, ale had never beleiv

cause he was a Republican, but was
"stand patter" on everything th'
Republican Party had ever done ant

Mr.. EDITOR In your paper | note
with much pleasure that our vexed
public school problem has been solved
and congratulate you and our new
board upon the work you have done.
Lawrenceburg will now have a progress
sive school if all will earnestly pull
together for it. We certainly cannot
afford to do otherwise. Every citizen
should remember that with the settle
ment Of the "muddle" comes the real
beginning of our responsibility as a
community. We have house (and let
us not "kick" about that or about its
condition)' We have as principal, one
of the best, most successful and prac-
tical school men in this section. We
have money to pay for first class service
in every department and am sure will
get such services, so let us make the
most of it. When opening day comes
on September II, don't ''send" your
children to school but 60 and carry
them with you. Let the directors, the
new faculty and your fellOw-tOwns-
people understand that you are truly
on the side of the public schOol--not
with your voice alone but with your
time and such other support rs may he
necessary. Above all let US euter our
children on the first day and send them
every day when the school Is in session.
This is the only way to establish a
public school of value in this town II
we do this, 1t will be only few years
until the County high school will be
erected and our County will afford as
good educational advantages as amy in
the State-a condition which we must
have. Let us all begin at the opening
to show our appreciation of what il
being undertaken by the new board for
this community, and Clnvince tn I'M
that they have the support and approv'
al of all in their efforts for education,
L. B. WHITE. Supt.

bent,

All doubt in the minds of the people
as to whether there would he a contest
for the office of Circuit Court Clerk,
was dispelled Saturday when Mr..
Crosthwaite, through his attorneys de-
manded possession Of the office, aud
was refused by Mr., Kennedy. 1t is not
denied, we are Informed that Crosthwait
has the majority Of votes on the face of
the retnrns, aud Is elected unless the
contest can prove that there was fraud
ulent voting sufficient to change the
result Mr. Kennedy's lawyers, Messrs
Burch, Frierson, Griswold and Parkes
contend, however, that he has the right
to hold the office, by virtue of his former
election until the contest is settled
They insist that In cases of contest the
incumbent whether party to the con-
test or not must retain possession of the
Office and discharge the duties thereof
. during the tendency of contest, and
rely for support on section 1914 of
Shannons Code which reads, "The
clerks of the county, circuit or Chanc-
cry court as the case may be, continue
to act for such courts, a6d keep a min

The rally here was mucll better than
last year In regard to numbers and in.
terest In the work All of the -four
teachers we're present and every school
was represented by parents and pupils.
The large schoolhouse was crowded 10
its utmost capacity so that the crowd
went to the grove and the spelling con.
test was held there. This was certainly
close and interesting. On the first
three rounds four delegates were sci ect
ed. Then "oyer" and "twos' were
called for and on the next round three
more; then followed two more; then
another with one more, and a final
round to select the tenth Those Sc
lected were as follows:- Five from
Murrel's Chapel, four from Fallriver,
one from Dunn.

The parade was formed and marched
for some distance at noon under the
direction of the teachers. Several peo
pie were in attendance from District 8
and few from Giles. Prof. May, of
Campbelsville, made an address in
which he paid high compliment to
the educational progress in Lawrence
County. He admonished the young
people against neglect in youth to ac-
quire an education and spoke at some
length along general lines.
The contest for the banner was very
close but 1t was finally awarded to Muir
relPs Chapel, whose teacher and pupils
received it with most becoming mod.
esty but gratifed appreciation Mr.
Opsata was the only director present.
When the Central rally day arrives

The Superintendent made an address
of some 80 minutes outlining the pl an
for the Central rally and urging all to
come and bring the children. And

for fine attendance at the Boyd lee

COSTLY .KlNDLING.
What Happened TO the Hoard Of
a New York Farmers Wife.


Few people are SO poor that they
do not some times have money which
they do not wish to spend immediate-
ly. Every one has this practical prob
lem to solve; How may | keep money
In safety till the time that want IT.
The most natural solution Of the
problem Is to put the money in
bank. II Is the business Of banks to
keep money for people. Money In u
bank is safer than anywhere else.
There are many people, however, who
never think Of putting money IN
banks. For them a place Of hiding is
the one thing to be thought Of. Now,
In hiding anything, the one supreme
consideration is to put 1t where no
one will be likely to look for It, OF
even happen upon 1t by accident.
A certain farmers wife, near Alfred,
N. Y, had two hundred dollars IN
legal tender notes, and decided to
conceal it somewhere.
She considered many places, and
finally hit upon the parlor stove.
1t was summertime, and there was
no fire in the front room.
No one, she thought, would be
likely to look in the stove for money.
She was correct in her superstition.
No one did think of looking in the
stove for money, and there her treas
ure remained in safety-till the winds
of autumn demanded artificial heat
In the front part of the house.
No thief ever laid hands upon those
two hundred hard-earned dollars.
The little roll of bills was slxillfully
hidden, but one chilly day there was
a fire inside the safety-deposIt box.
When the farmers wife remember
ed her money, It was too late.
The place 10 deposit your money
is in The Louisa National Bank,
which has capital. of $50.OO0.OO. sur
plus and profits of s5,OOOOO, and
security of $lO5,OOO.OO for deposltors.
Insurance Of every kind against loss.
Our business is conducted upon
conservative basis. Security is the
first thing to consider in placing
your money for safe keeping.
We are at your service and have
every modern facility for handling
your business. You are invited To

in too many cases the wife is in
Guided In the engagement which hire
him, and such contrast Is snrell
ubiquitous. What private chnrcl
member can do consistently with mel
duty to her husband and children sh.
IS bound to undertake and nothing
more.
That she is or is not accomplished
should affect her husbands influence
no more than II he We're a lay com
manicant in tie church to which she
belongs. The rule which makes the
popularity won by her virtues inef-
fectual to succor him in the hour Of
need, should work both ways or not
at all. The mournful conviction that
he for whom she would sacrifice ease
and life itself, would after all have
done better for himself and the Mas
ter had he never married her, has
broken many a loving heart and
brave spirit.
Right here let us enter plea for
minister's children which some claim
are the worst children in existence.
Many seem to forget that the birth
right of these children is no freer
from the faint Of sin than is that OF
other children, and if those who are
ever ready to point out imperfections
in the character of minister's child
rem would read the history Of the
human family, they will find that the
perfect children die before they are
old enough to become contaminated
by contact with the common progeny
of the race. AS a rule ministers
children are largely deprived Of the
society and guidance Of their father
while he is occupied In looking after
other peoples children and furnishing
spiritual food 10 the church, and
when at home he is obliged to give
his time and thought to the prepare
ton of his sermons, II he is worthy
Of the name Of minister. As quiet il
a requisite to study these poor
children are often deprived of their
rights and their little sports are
spoiled because noise is a part OF
these sports. So next to ministers
wives we pity minister's children, and
wonder there are not more bad ones,
