West Kentucky State Normal
School.


Editors Herald, Hartford, KY, Dear
Sirs:-Knowing your paper to be the
most popular and most widely circu-
lated paper Of Ohio county, ,as one of
your earnest well-wisher's and as one
interested in the cause of education,
also as an old student of the South
ern Normal School which has recent
ly been changed into the West Ken
lucky State Normal, take the privi-
fege of expressing through the col
umns of The Herald the love and 10y
atty that the students here from Ohio
county have for the West Kentucky
State Normal and the great opportun-
ity offered by the school for gaining
/ higher education.
The West Kentucky State Normal
Is a success in every sense of the
word. We have a corps Of teachers
whose efficiency and enthusiasm in
their departmental instruction is not
surpassed anywhere in the State. A
! President, X. X. Cherry. whose whole
life is in his work. A man who takes
an interest in every student and is
ready to sacrifice any moment of his
time to render assistance to any of
the students.
Some of the teachers rank among
the highest educators Of the country
and are teaching special lines of work.
The advantage of the school is great.
Besides Frisbie Hall, which is an ele-
CANT home for young ladies, the resi-
dences of the city are open to the
students where they are treated like
home folks and pay but little for
board.
One of the greatest opportunities
offered, is to boys and girls who are
old enough to teach and who have
/ finished the common school course
and desire to teach, can, by taking a
One Year Course, get certificate to
teach two years. Then by teaching
awhile can come back to complete
their education, carrying away with
them life certificate.
A MARVELLOUS OPENING.
The growth of the school has been
a record breaker. 1t is only three
months old and has now enrolled
nearly seven hundred students. |
have never seen in the history of
/ ,,rho
had such large student body at this
age of the institution.
But the most commendable feature
of the school is that the student body
/ is self-governing body of young men
and women.
The students of every county in
| Western Kentucky desire that their
county be the most strongly represent
| ed. Now, |, as a representative of
Ohio county, am very anxious that
more of the human treasure of which
there is many, will take the advan-
tage of the great opportunity given
by the West Kentucky State Normal.
there Will ne Il lleellliS VI Cue UNIV
county delegation called as soon as
possible, and make better investiga-
ton of the representation of Ohio
county.
! say that Ohio county is one of the
leading counties of West Kentucky in
agricultural, manufacturing and COM
mercial pursuits and | see no reason
why she should not be better repre-
sented in her own State Normal
School.
Why not Ohio county take the
lead in educating her young men and
women; and partially do so by send
ing to the West Kentucky State Nor
NAL?
would be glad to meet any of the
Ohio county students and have them
with us to become interested in the
work we are doing.
Yours truly,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Thanks-
giving day will come a day earlier

third. who will tomorrow take as his
bride Miss Edith Root, the accomp-
lished and beautiful daughter OF
Elihu Root, secretary of state. The
ceremony will be performed at the
Root home in Rhode Island avenue
at 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Among the out-of-town guests who
are here to attend the wedding are
Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris, aunt of
the Undergraduates on his fathers
side. and Mrs. Potter Palmer OF Chi
cago, his mothers sister.
Miss Root will be the third bride
in the cabinet circle during the
Roosevelt administration. the two
preceding being Miss Helen Hay
and Miss Annie Hitchcock. The
wedding will be a much smaller and
less elaborate affair than was anti
eipated by the cabinet and diplo-
matte set.
The acquaintance Of Lieutenant
Grant and Miss Root began in the
White House Lieutenant Grant is
one Of the military aids Of the pres
ident and first met Miss Root at a
reception given By the president
Only the most intimate friends Of
the pair were aware Of the progress
Of the courtship until late last July.

couple were engaged.
Miss Root made her social debut
in New York and her social attach
ments are largely in that city. al
though she has many warm friends
in the society Of the national capital.

trict Commissioner Henry B. West.
He is not only Roosevelt Office
holder, but personal friend of the
presidents and in view of the fact
that Roosevelt and Bryan may posi-
bly, be opposing candidates next
year the proposition is regarded as
interesting.
The solid south" is well repre-
sentedsented by its Democratic lead
ers, and it is expected that from the
mouth Of John Sharp Williams viii
fall the words nominating Mr.. Bryan
for the presidency and promising him
the support of the reunited Democ-
racy. In the past the house minority
leader has never been counted on as
one of the stalwarts in the Bryan
cause, but of late he has shown more
enthusiasm for the Nebraskan
Another famous soutnerner who is
expected to display his oratorical
ability at the dinner is Colonel John
Temple Graves. 1t is not likely that
he will repeat his Chattanooga feat
of asking the principal guest of the
evening to lay aside his ambition
and go to the Democratic national
convention for the purpose OF nomi-
mating Theodore Roosevelt for the
presidency. Colonel Graves, 1t is re-
ported, has changed his political ideas
and affiliations somewhat since then,
and moreover has come to believe
that the president really meant 1t
when he declared he would not again
be a candidate.
Whether Mr.. Bryan will be really
acceptable to the Democrats OF the
South is the principal matter being
considered by those leaders who hope
for a victory for the party In the
next election. Opinion, as represent
ed by the newspapers and the south
ern political leaders. appears to be
| divided on this point.
In the West, according to the Bry-
an adherents, the sentiment favoring
the Nebraskan is stronger than ever.
With the exception of the Roger-Sul-
livan faction. the Democracy of Him
OILS is said to be solid for Bryan. AS
surances have been received from
Ohio, Indiana and Missouri that those
states may be depended upon to line
up with the Bryan forces.
Most notable among the absentees
at tonight's 1iEner will be Mr. Chsn.
Ter of New York, the dark horse
who has recently become a veritablt
nightmare to the Bryan adherents.
