The News agrees with Councilman
Reid IN his opinion that the action OF
the City council In throwing down his
motion to prohibit the running at

backwards. The stock in question is
COWS. Just plain, old ugly cows that
forage about our beautiful little city
day and night, on street and on side

our school yards. II is disgusting
yes, almost intolerabIe to think of Clo-
verport with her 1000 inhabitants, with
her factories booming and her business
growing to have cows running at
large. Why not burn up the city char

1t is an outrage upon the citizens of
Cloverport to have COWS running at

Council will not give us our rights

High Pressure DAYS.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never were
the demands of business, the wants
of the family, the requirements of
society, more numerous. The first
effect of the praise worthy effort to
keep up with all these things is COM
monty seen IN a weakened or debllitat-
ed condition OF the nervous system,
which results IN dyspepsia, defective
nutrition of both body and brain, and
in extreme cases in complete nervous
prostration. 1t is clearly seen that
wnat is needed is what Will sustain
the system give vigor and tone Of
the nerves, and keep the digestive and
asslmilative functions healthy and
active. From personal knowledge,
we can recommend hoods Sarsaprllls
for this purpose. It's acts on all the
vital organs, builds up the whole sys-
tenn, and fits men and women for these
high pressure days.

Frank Board
Is Dead at 33

Hardinsburg, KY, Apri 3-Fran
Board, aged 83 years, died at the homer
of his mother. Mrs. Sallie Board,
Thursday morning, March 80, after q
lingering illness. The funeral services
were held on the afternoon of the fol-
lowing day, at the NJ. E. church,
South. The Rev. Il. s. King, pastor
of the church, delivered very appropri-
ate and touching discourse to a large
congregation of relatives and friends,
who assembled to pay respect to his
memory. The services at the grave were

tes were beautiful.
this place, and lived here all his life,
with the exception of the last five
years, which were spent in the west,
at Salt Lake City, Utah, and Pocatela,
Idaho, where he was the cashier
banks. At an early age he accepted
position with the Bank OF Harding
burg, and when he left here, he had
been the assistant cashier of that insti-
tuition. for several years, and had the
cofidence and esteem of the best busi-
ness men of the county. Becoming
afraid of decline in health, he resign
ed this position, and removed to Salt
Lake City, in the hope that change OF
climate would preserve his strength.
About two months ago, he returned to
this place, to end his days at his
home. He had made brave but futile
struggle against disease.
To his friends, left a message Of
hope. He believed in and had accept
ed the teachings of the meek and lowly
Nazarene, and died In the firm hope Of
reaching that restful haven, for which
humanity so longingly yearns.
Frank Board was a young man of
superior attainments. He had brill
liant. quick mind was we'll read, and
had developed into fine business man.
Breckenridge county never produced
brighter boy. 1t seems a mysterious
providence that such a one should
die so young. He was never married.
His mother and two brothers survive
to mourn his loss. The sympathy of
the entire community is with them in
their bereavement.
