~ ARTS, Dec. 29.-"She knows
how to get round her hus-
band. Horrid little cat 1 call
n her" This remark 1 over
heard the other morning from the lips
of pretty woman. who, like myself,
was on the waiting list for a fitting at
a famous couturiere's. Such criticism.
trite as il is, always arouSeS in me a
feeling of intense pity for the woman
who scorns the gentle art of managing
a man. Now why should a wife be call
ed little cat because she purs pleas
antly to her lord and master and makes
the home hearth seem the warmest and
incest place on earth? Well, all I've got
to say is that a wife is very foolish to
let strangers say all the nice things to
her husband while she looks on and de-
spises them as sly creatures who try
to get round men. A lot of good wo-
men think that the harmless cajoleries
which give man so much pleasure are
insincere and ''catty.' So they make a
point of neglecting the pretty airs and
graces which were given women for
the subduing of mankind and in their
place cultivate stern and strict atten-
tion to domestic duties. The wife with
out a smile. too, is to be found in thou
sands of homes. From a mistaken sense
of duty she slaves away most of her
light hearted happiness. Her husband
and children possibly appreciate her,
but they would love her a heap more if
she laughed more, for a little fun and
frivolity is a mighty good thing at
times. But so many of these good"
women seem to have been born in an
east wind and to create a chilly frosty
atmosphere all round them. And thew
think it unjust when other women who
haven't half their fine qualities are
more loved. But human nature turns
to warmth and brightness. There are
millions of sun worshipers, but who
ever heard of fog or ice worshiper?
Perhaps the woman who is dubbed by
her neighbor as light and frivolous
doesn't possess all the virtues of a
saint, but she doesn't care a rap about
that. She makes her husband smiling.
happy and content. and there must be
something back of the 'Iightness" to
accomplish this feat. And don't you
think it is comfortable to live with
somebody who gives the impression
that the sun is shining and that it is
good to be alive?

BY consulting our announce
ments of this week the card of At
tdrney W. G.. Hamilton, for City
Attorney. will be observed. This
is an important position and our
people should be careful to obtain
the very best material. and hence
in presenting the name of Mr..
Hamilton we feel it is due the peo-
pie to know him.
Mr.. Hamilton is young mar
ried man, q years old. native of
Menefee county. He married
Miss Nancy +. Stages. daughter
of W. =. Stages. of this county, a
most estimable woman, and have
one child, daughter. From 9 to
Is years old he was in his
fathers store, W. :. Hamilton.
in Menefee: from IL to 16 he was
in Smiths Business College, Lex
ington; from 16 to 90 he was
at Bowling Green Norm |
School: from Is to 81 he was in
collegiate department: from II to
% law department. graduating in
each department: was admitted to
the bar in.19O2 in Warren Circuit
Court. Judge w. f. Settle presid-
ing. He came to Mt. Sterling in
1903, where he,has since practiced.
He possesses such attainments and
traits, social, moral and intellect
ual as will qualify him for this
important position. A man of in
teglity and capability, he promises
to discharge the duties of the
Office Justly and impartia!ly. We
gladly commend Mr.. Hamilton to
the consideration of the Democrats
of Mt. Sterling.

A GOOD MAN.

Because Thomas Combs, Mayor
of Lexington, is rigidly enforcing
the laws and especially the Sunday
laws and those pertaining to the
sale of intoxicants there are some
who say he is preparing a way &c
the Governorship of Kentucky.
Mayor Combs has always under
taken to.perform whatever duties
were incumbent on him to the let
ter. 1t is such men that make the
best executives and we are sure
Mayor Combs would make fine
Governor for this and other quail
fications he possesses to an eminent
degree. We stand ready to make
a motion declaring him the Demo
cratic nominee when that time
comes or to second the motion
when made.

The report is that on Sunday
there could not be found in Louis
vile even one saloon tout of 900
which sold liquor on Sunday
GOV. Beckham now has the sup.
port of men who are in sympathy
with him in advocating the closing
of illegal places. Perhaps some
of the croakers will now be honest
and fair enough to say that the
Governor was sincere and in ear
nest. Mayor Combs is working a
revolution in Lexington. Last
week he cancelled three licenses
and forfeited three bonds thus
taxing each offender $3.50. He
will serve others in the same way.
1t is worth much to have a man OF
men with some regard for law at
the head of things. Knockouts
like those in Lexington and in Mt.
Sterling on September 10Th when
our Circuit Court put Allen Bros.
out of business force an Observ-
ance of law. Conditions for sew
eral months have evidently been
much better in Mt. Sterling than
they were prior to January /,
1906. There is need of further
improvement.

MAYOR COMBS.
No Trifling With NiOIatOrS of
Law.

Our readers will recall the arti-
cles concerning the violations OF
Sunday closing law in Lexington
by the Navarro saloon as reported
by Henry Barnett, foreman OF
Breathitt County News. The final
hearing of the case before Mayor
Combs took place on Thursday
He cancelled the license costing
$50 and ordered their bond OF
5000 to be forfeited. Thus this
one days violation of law cost
them $3.50. If their county and
state licenses are cancelled they
will have to pay over $1,000 il
they again resume. The Navarro
saloon and club room are popular
resorts opposite G. & o. depot on
Limestone. 1t is reported to be
one of the tony" resorts of the
city.
A friend recently said to the
writer: Come to Lexington any
Sunday and | will take you to the
Navarro and you can see for your
self that they sell on Sunday
We did not accept the invitation.
On Friday Mayor Combs can
celled the saloon license of Barker
& Wyatt and declared bond for

confessed guilt ON charge of selling
liquor on Sunday and declared
that they would quit business. 1t
is stated that the East Tennessee
Brewing Company owns the prop
erty occupied by them.

DISMISSED.
James HargiS Set at Liberty
For Murder of DR.. Cox.

At Sandy Hook on Saturday
Judge Moody, Special Judge to
try James Hargis for the murder
of DIR. B. ID. Cox, instructed the
jury to dismiss the defendant.
The Commonwealth had endeav-
ored to get the case remanded to
Breathitt county, then to have case
continued on account of absence of
few witnesses. Overruled in
this they then withdrew from the
case and the Judge then directed
the jury to bring in a verdict of
not guilty. Attorney Byrd in
pleading for a transfer said a fair
trial can now be had in Breathitt,
but not in Elliott; that high officials
in Elliott had been taking an ac-
tive interest in the defense of Har-
gis.
Another affidavit showed that
Attorney W. A. Young had said
to man named Robert Cecil a
short time before this case was
transferred here that it would be
sent to Elliott county.

A GREAT VICTORY.

At Cynthiana on last Saturday
the temperance people measured
strength with the anti-saloon ele-
ment, resulting in a great victory
for the ''drys." The city went
dry by AZ majority and the county
by 1900 majority, literally putting
to route the anti-saloon followers.
1t was a great victory in view of
the fact that the vets were victo-
rious in the city about 60 days
ago. Both sides were determined
but might and right prevailed.
This successful struggle in one of
the strongest fortified positions OF
the saloon followers is evidence of
what can be done when our forces
do their very best and that Ken
lucky can be carried for temper

CyNTHlANA DRY.
Another Victory For Temperance
Forces.

On Thursday a local option cleo
ton was held in Harrison county
including Cynthiana. The tenn
perance forces carried the town by
AZ majority and the county by
about 1900. About 60 days ago
the "wets, in an election for town
only, were successful by "a. The
contest was very exciting. Thus
for three years no saloons will be
tolerated in Cynthiana after pres
ent licenses expire.
