Spring Is Here.

Dear joel was sorry to learn, that
our old friend, Lon Pridgen, was Sc
duced by the warm weather in March
to think that spring had come, and put
out to Greene county tor his annual
fishing frolic, and next morning found
his bait frozen. I wish you would let
him know, that he can now go to
and that I shall expect him to send me,
before long, a nice bunch of yellow
bellies"
Do you think it worth while
To print the thing now,
When every n is busy
Wiping sweat from their brow?
But if any doubling Thomases
Who to believe require signs
They may find just a few
In the following brief lines.
When The trees get to leafing
And the flowers get in bloom,
And the house-fiy and musquitos
Get to buzzing in the room;
When you hear the noisy martins
And the hooking birds sweet song,
| S pring may be in winters lap
But aint going to sit there long.
When the tightening bugs go flashing
Their incandescent lights
And the whippoorwi1 is heard
In the distant woods at night.
When you get up in the morning
Feeling thirsty and tough,
And haven't got a single drop
OF the real reviving stuff.
When your appetite plays out,
Can scarce eat enough to live,
IT'S time to start to Pikeville,
For spring has sure arriv.
You then can pack your flannel
With moth preventive stuff,
And get into summer garments,
For you'll find them hot enough.

AN OBSTINATE SAFE.

A short time ago the officials of a
bank at Seward, Alaska, had trouble
in opening the safe 1t was a big
safe, equipped with a time lock.
The clock operating the mechanism
had stopped, and all efforts to open
the big steel door failed.
Lock experts were brought from
all parts of Alaska, but none was
able to solve the trouble.
Finally, after several weeks, the
bank officials, in desperation, load
ed the big safe on a steamer and
sent ii to Seattle for treatment. All
this time $4,000 was locked ur
safe and tight.
When the ship tied up at its dock
safe expert was waiting to &C

three light taps with a small ham
mer, the clock started, and a few
hours later the bolt flew back, al

called upon to hold an inquest over
the remains of a Hungarian laborer.
The only witness was a lad Of the
same nationality, who spoke no
English.
Where do you live, boy?" was
the first question of the coroner.
The boy shook his head.
'Do you speak English?" next
came from the coroner.
Again the boy shook his head.
"Do you speak German?"
Still another negative from the
lad.
"Do you speak French ?" was the
next interrogatory.
For the third time the boy shook
his head.
GLOW old are you?"
NO reply from the witness.
Then, after a pause, the coroner
asked:
''Do you speak Italian ?"
The lad remained silent.

in the German empire, with a mem

1,72S to dairying.
In Bavaria, 1913 of the 1894, as
sociations dedicated their work to
furnishing credits to agricultural
undertakings, 234 to supply and de-
mand, 247 to dairying and 200 to
various other purposes; all, how
ever, fostering mutual assistance to
husbandmen and thus redonnding
to their benefit.
The cooperative associations of

TERRY COAL & COKE CO.,
Hopkinsville, KY.
GENTLEMEN:
Replying to your favor of the 14th
instant, l unhesitatingly advise all
consumers of coal to lay in a supply
during the summer months and
thereby avoid the inconvenience
which must result on account of a
shortage of cars next winter which
in my opinion will be much more
acute than was the shortage of last
winter, unless the consumers lay in
their Coal supply as suggested.
You are at liberty to publish this
in the interest of the producers and
consumers of Coal.
Yours Very Truly,
C. c. McCHORD, Chairman,
R. r. Commission State of KY.
The railroad and coal operating
officials OF western Kentucky have
given out the same official notice,
and urge US to advise our stock-hold-
ers, and customers to lay in their
coal this summer.
Last winters experience and high
prices, together with the above time
ly information should be sufficient
warning, and we trust our people
will take advantage of it and act at
at once.
We are ready to supply you with |
coal in car load lots over either r. R.
any day ''the best coal at summer
time prices" and trust that you will
give us your orders early while we
can get the cars to ship in.
Yours Very Truly.
