Valuable Suggestions Made
by One Who Wants to
Get Busy.
A FERTILIZER PLANT,
Slaughter House and Many
Other Things Are Eas-
lily Possible.

The first week of the new year tne
Kentuckian published lengthy ar
ticle on What Will we Do in 1907
The article called for suggestions as
to what new departures could be-
made toward keeping up the growth
of business that has been going on
for ten years or more. The first an
swer to our request is given below
by &c. E. B." We thank him most
heartily, and would be glad if others
would do likewise. People are wait
ing for suggestions and they know
that something must be done II
Greater Hopkinsville would be great
err still. We recommend the sug-
gestions of &c. E. B." to the
thoughtful consideration of all en-
terprising citizens and hope they
may bear abundant fruit.
What We Should Do.
We should start the wheels of
prosperity of the farmers to rolling
and give a helping hand to them,
for what they are interested in we
are also.
First we should have a Fertilizer
Plant. Make it a stock company
and let them come inland manu-
facture the tobacco stalks coming to
this town instead of shipping them
to other towns and paying the freight
both ways. This comes high. When
you ship car of stalks, there is not
much weight on account of being
bulky. We want to keep the freight
money in the hands Of the farmer TO
pay for the fertilizer we make here.
as we'll as the money for manufac-
turing, and let him come here to
spend his money.
The farmers have the stalks. We
have the limestone rock to make the
lime. The garbage from the slaugh-
ter house and city could be used, as
well as cheap salt. and some coal
ashes, when put in, will make the
finest of wheat fertilizer and will
prevent rust, which so often ruins
wheat.
We have cheap land with exemp-
ton from city taxes for 5 years,
cheap fuel, building material as
well as labor for same.
Now, if we want to do more, you
know the room for improvement is
the largest room in the world, so
let's have something else we need.
That is packing house. Kill our
cattle and hogs, we lose the freight
both ways on them, as well as the
profit in making bacon, lard, and
garbage for our fertilizer plant. We
can have cold storage plant and
kill the year around. We have the
stock and users of meat and lard
here with us. Make it as we make
country meat, by smoking with
wood hickory and sassafras or saw
dust. You can see what hogs and
cattle are selling for in Louisville,
The farmer gets this, less freight
both ways, for the shipper takes
freight off. Then when he buys
back again he or we pay freight
back. Enclosed you find prices on
same:

ALL ARE WEARING CROSSES.
Pretty Custom That Has Been Re
stored to Favor.

A generation ago nearly every wom-
an possessed a small cross in gold, in
jewels, or in onyx and gold, as piece
Of jewelry. 1t was worn as brooch,
or as a pendant to a chain.
1t was substituted in after years by
the locket, which has held sway in
every metal and in all kinds of jewels,
precious and semiprecious.
Now crosses are back in fashion
They are slender and are not of the
Maltese variety which were in such
dominant fashion for while.
Often it is only gold wire, holding
diamond or vivid semiprecious stones.
The pale aquamarine is also favorite
stone to use.
Others are in plain gold with the
monogram and often the date Of the
gift engraved at back.
AS there has been s4ch~ a. wide re-
turn to the black and gold enameled
bracelet Of our grandmothers, the
black and gold enameled cross tc
match has come back into fashion.

SCENE OF THE FIRST LOVE or
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
AEeseGt Spot ls Located on Banks Of
Mississippi River In Wisconsin-
Romantic courtship with -
Daughter Of Col. Taylor.

McGregor, Ia.-Old Fort Crawford,
scene of many tale of manliness and
chivalry, of love and war, where JET.
ferson Davis had his early romance, is
picturesque spot. The fort is on the
banks of the Mississippi river and is
now: part of the ancient town OF
Prairie du Chen, the Oldest city in
Wisconsin, founded by French Jesuits,
who came down from Canada to Green
Bay, down the Wisconsin into the Mis-
sissippi in 1869.
The fort is site of prominence on a
knoll overlooking the mouth of the
Wisconsin and large stretch of the
greater river into which it flows.
JEFFERSON Davis began his military
career here directly after graduation
at West Point and receiving the usual
brevet of second lieutenant. He was
at St. Louis for little time and was
then transferred. Here he found Col.
Zachary Taylor in command.
Here Jefferson Davis met the three
daughters and the son of his command
ing officer; and here the handsome
young soldier fell in love with Sarah
Taylor. Picnics planned to Picture
rock and what is now known as Nc
Gregor heights, together with romantic
rambles and sails unknown to the good
colonel and his wife. brought about the
natural order of experience. Gentle
Sarah Taylor and Lieut.. Jefferson Da-
Wis loved each other.
The Dousmans and Capt. McRee and
his family were happy over the love
of these likeable young folk OF

TAKE TIME TO BE DAINTY.
Little Touches Are the Main Point Of
Attractiveness.

'Put ribbons through my corset GOV.
ers? Why, it takes too long. I can't
spare that much time in the morning"
This was the answer of a girl who
was envying the dainty appearance OF
another girl, whose blue silk ribbons
in her corset cover were glimpsed
through her sheer shirtwaists.
The girl who complained she hadn't
time to be dainty probably devoted
hours to trifes that came to naught
She possibly gossiped for Is minutes
here and there all through the day in a
manner that was not of advantage tc
herself or her listener.
She probably always found time for
lettering or reading some foolish book
When a girl begins to think that the
cost of daintiness is too high she is
beginning to lose her first point o1
attractiveness.
It is her right to be sweetly dressed
and she could so organize her life into
the proper channel that she could
find quarter of an hour to give her
self the chance to have nice things.
This ribbon in corset cover is only
one of the many little instances tc
show that a girl is living up to all the
womanliness in her. She must take
time to be dainty.

lor being approached by the manly
fellow offered many objections. That
he had nothing against the strong char
acter of the man was evident.
But the old ironsides had made up
his mind that none of his daughters
should ever marry into the army. He
said that he had nothing but the
kfndlfest feeling for the boy, but he
knew so much of the trials and dis
tresses of a soldiers wife and family
that he was averse to the whole thing.

course he sought many means of
Strengthening it; and among others

But everything went wrong. Too bad
that the soldiers were cursed and
blamed for the state Of affairs.
Everybody knew what was the mat
ter except the poor, boycotted colonel.
Finally the girl approached her father
and argued the case with him. There
was not spot on the life of the man
she loved.
"That makes it all the harder, don't

they were married. Another is that
they went to st. Louis and that the
colonel heard of them there, and had
them brought back.
The young man most interested in
the matter is likely to know best about
the interesting affair, and these are his
words:

The estrangement was not straight
ened during the lifetime of Mrs. JET.

1885 and was buried in the Davis
burying ground, near Baya Sara, La.
In the spring of 1S45 Mr.. Davis met
Gen. Zachary Taylor by accident in
travel. He was somewhat nervous as
to what his reception would be like.
The prospective president received
him cordially, however, and expressed
his warm appreciation of him as u man

or finishing touch which is quite
worthy of consideration. There are
narrow ties of velvet ribbon or striped
taffeta, made into smart bow in front

with a gold tassel or with a fringe of

A travelling evangelist who had halt
ed for the night at old Linn Jucklin's
house had said that he hoped to see
. the time when there would be no more
war, when the old man remarked:
"Yes, and reckon King David
hoped to see the same blessed day. In
this life there are two sets of prayers
that don't appear to have had much
effect-praye for rain and prayer for
war to cease. But there never was but
one time when there wasn't no war
nowhere on earth and that was when
rain wasn't needed. / refer to the
tina of the flood when Noah held his
pea<e congress in the ark
Tut the time of universal peace will

"N ns,' agreed the old man, when
all Ct the kinks have been straight
ened out of human nature. It's a
mighty hard matter to correct a thing
that has started off wrong, and man
seemed to have set out with his worst
foot foremost He got hungry and he
fought for somethin to eat He fell in
love and he fought for woman, and
then KEEP on fightin' because he'd got
his hand in. And ever since l can
recollect they have been holdin' peace
congresses every once in while; and
whenever they hold right good one
war is sure to follow. One nation has
always got somethin' that the other
one wants. Craftsmanship shows a
nation what it needs and then the sol.
dier goes out to get it, The statesman
that has avoided war is nearly always

war and gets the worst of it, then the
people know that he wasn't a states

the evangelist, that with the passing
OF the war between Russia and Japan
the great wars will have come to an
end
Yes, big war always has been the
last one. When they got the machine

war had come, and it looked that way
