K. n. c. STUDENTS
Led All The Rest in the Various
County Examinations.

Gratifying news has reached here
from the various counties which fur
nished students to the X. N. c.
Out Of the class of prospective teach
ers, las in all, only one failed to pro-
cure certificate. In one county the
four who made the highest averages
were X. N, G. students. The highest
grade was made by youngster who
had never before entered teach
ers' examination.
Letters of)thanks have been pour
ing in upon the faculty from the
students ever since the examination
and nearly all have been heard from
Almost invariably the letters say,
I'VE are coming back next winter"
This is a most remarkable record
aud is the most conclusive evidence
that could be desired as to the thor
ough training giyin in THE Kentucky
Normal College.

Expensive Shooting.

That form of amusement which
Seems particularly tempting to GER
tain depraved tastes-discharging re
Wolvers from the windows of rail-
road trains-is getting to be very
expensive In fact, it is such lux
ury now that only the very wealthy
can afford to indulge in it.
If you do not believe it
ask Perry Woolford, of Pike coun-
ty, He tried it few days ago as
the train was speeding along near
Horchlight. The fun lasted about
as long as it takes a cat to wink
its eye. This was thrill number one,
Thrill number two came with his trial
before County Judge Thompson, who
gave him so and costs making a
total of $135.

partially helpless condition she live'
out her last years, but was made a
comfortable as possible by the con
