NEW LIFE IN
SCHOOL WORK.
c. II. S. Gives A High Class
Christmas Entertainment
Large Number Present.
PUPILS WORK EXHIBITED.

The seniors, the juniors, the sopho-
mores and the freshmen, joined hand in
hand Friday afternoon and gave to the
public the first entertainment of the
kind that has been given in the Clover
port High School for several years.
The pupils sent out hand-painted in
vitations a week ago and an unusual
large number were accepted. The
guests were received at ? O'Clock by
Mr.. Edmund Wroe, the principal, and
his first assistant, Miss Jennie Patter-
son, in the High School room which was
atractively decorated in decorations
made by the pupils Of Miss Cora Mccoy
Misses Margaret Wroe and Edith Burn.
The program which was a credit to
the pupils and Prof. Wroe was opened
by the school with a Christmas hymn.
The music throughout the afternoon
was beautifully rendered under the
direction of Miss Beatrice McCracken.
Though young in years, Miss McCracken
is remarkably advanced in music and
her talent was forcbly brought out on
this occasion.
The welcome address was delivered
by Virgil Babbage in the manner of a
statesman and made everybody feel
glad they were there The recitations
were splendidly spoken and most of
those who recited had been under the
tutorage of Mrs Frank English and
showed their training. Those who
recited and pleased the audience
immensely were: Miss Virginia Nc

from Hardinsburg especially to be
present at the entertainment and
showed his appreciation of his invitation
by giving a fine talk. The Rev. B. M.

crowd in not granting Prof. Wroe's re-
quest for lengthy speeches.

given.

Senator Cox's resolution, direct
| ing the Insurance Committee, dur
ing the recess, to investigate the
advisability of having the State in.
sure the property of its citizens, is
quite in keeping with the position
Of the Senator in his recent cam
paign for the Senate, and also on
the line of an earnest argument
presented to the Insurance Com
Imittee two years ago, in which
Mr.. K. B. Stahlman advised that
committee, as a solution to the in
snrance problem in this State, to
thoroughly consider the matter.
One of the strong arguments in
favor of the proposition is that the
State has for many years insured
its own property at saving of the
entire premium, while strictly nu-
tual insurance companies, organ
lied by manufacturers, millers,
merchants and others have furnish
ed thoroughly safe insurance to
their members at premium rate
Of from 80 to Is per cent. less than
the rates charged by the old line
companies. If such results can be
attained in that way why not by
an insurance department controll
ed by the State for the protection
of its citizenss
II is no stretch Of the magma
tion to declare that the State, with
an insurance department ably or
ganized, would be able to give its
citizens a reduction Of % per cent.

yet within ten years have saved

cArARRH GROWING LESS.
Due to the Use Of Hyomei. Cures
Without Stomach Dosing.


There has been a marked falling of
of sales of catarrh cures in the local
stores the past year. Medicines which
we're formerly purchased in gross lots
are now seldom called for, and the
druggist rarely buys more than a doz-
en- at a time.
Hy0mei Is a notable exception to
this decrease Ia sales. 1t Is, in fact.
largely responsible for the lessened
sales Of catarrh medicines, as 1t has
cured so many people of catarrhal
troubles that naturally there Is less
cali for remedies for that disease.
There is no disagreeable stomach

SCHOOL BOND PAID OFF
Treas. \. A. Haynes Pays off Last Old
School Bond Of 100000

H. A. Haynes, the treasurer for
Marion Graded School district. has
paid off the last 50, 900. bond of the
old Issue which was sold to build the
main building. This is indeed a
fine showing for the board and leaves
the district free of the debt except
the new bonds of IS, 900. which
were sold two years ago to build the
auditorium and new chapel.
When the high character of the
school maintained heresis considered,
coupled with the fact that the build
ing is now heated by new steam
radiator system and has new opera
chairs in the auditorium, is really
remarkable that the sinking fund
has been sufficient to retire the old
bonds so quickly. Great credit is
due the school board and each citizen
of the district should "hold up their
hand" IN all matters touching this
the greatest Of Marion's enterprises.
The blessings of a good school will
decend to generations unborn as
we'll as to the boys and girls of
today.

The Hopkinsvllle Kentuckian says
Two plant beds on the farm Of j..
A. Miles at Bennettstown were robb-
ed, the thief pulling all the plants
large enough for transplantlng.
The canvas, which was rolled up
and lying on stump, was also car
ried away. From the tracts left,
there were only one or two of the
thieves. The two beds contained
about two hundred square yards and
the ROBBERY was not discovered until
next morning, when negroes went to
the bed to get plants to set out Mr..
Miles crop. Mr.. Miles has, from
the first, been a member of the
farmers association.
He telephoned to this city to
deputy marshal, L. j. Cundiff and
his assistant, T. B. Pedigo, went to
the scene with bloodhounds, with
which an attempt was made to catch
the thief.
On account of the drizziling rain,
though, the dogs we're unable to take
the trail.
On the same night Oscar Pendle-
ton. who lives on the farm adjoining
Mr.. Miles, was similarly visited and
suffered even to a greater extent.
He lost the plants from 400 yards of
beds.
Other farmers in the same section
are reported to have had plants stolen.
