FREETHOUGHT PROPAGANDA.

During the process advocating the principles of Free

point OF growth and successful strength.
Principal among the needs that suggests itself from
multiplied experiences is emergency fund with which
to provide large and increasing number of aged and
INDECENT Freethnkers with the Freethough era
ture, and we have enough Freethnkers in this land
provide such fund which could be drawn upon in the
case of actual necessity.
Fraernal bodies furnish homes for their aged and nd
gent brethren for the widows orphans of their de-
ceased brothers, and this they accomplish work of real
humanity The spirit of fraternity should actae all
Freethnkers for the very principles they cherish imply

In the of the past few months number letters
have been received by the Blade from aged Freehnkers
who having given their lives open advocacy of our

Jake Rice Married.

The following is from the Cat
lettsburg Tribune tells all we know a.
bout the marriage OF Jake Rice, a
native Of Fallsburg, this county, but
row a Huntington business man.
Here's a secret the Ironton Iron
tonian told us, and said not to tell,
so you mustn't say word:
Sh! don't ever breathe It to a
soul for the parties most interested
don't want a thing said about 1t.
Jake Rice and Mrs. Mollie Barton.
a nice looking couple from Hunting
ton, were married at the Ironton
House Monday evening shortly after
ten o'clock by Rev, Harold Cooper.
In the afternoon John Schachleiter
received a telephone message from
Mr.. Rice asking him to request Pro-
bate Judge Dovel to be at the Court
House after supper as he would be
here after a marriage license. Mr..
Sehachleiter complied with the re-
quest and was also present at the
wedding. After lunch at SchachIeit-
ers' Mr.. and Mrs. Rice left, on the
late train for home.'

lBER LOUISA LAWRENCE COUNTY KENTUCKY July 10 ,sa
As Others Saw Us.

The Fort Gay Leader has the fol-
lowing to say about our 4th of July:
THE Fourth Of July was celebrat-
ed with considerable eclat at Lou
lisa, and a crowd numbering possibly
1000 men, women, children, babies
and dogs from surrounding coun-
try mingled and rubbed shoulders
with the Louisans. Fort Gay added
some charm to the occasion by a
large turn out. The program as pre-
viously arranged was carried out to
q finish. The country Jake was
there with his red head, stand up
collar lying flat on his shoulders
soaked with the Fourth Of July ooze,
aud his blue bandanna floating from
the rear of his pantaloons-yes, he
was there (from Yatesville) rubber
necking and goo-gooing the girls
and old maids. Grandpa and gran
ny were there full of patriotic spir-
1t. Everybody had good time ex-
cept those who were overburdened
with young uns'' they just swelter-
ed and melted. There was plenty
TO eat and drink, some Of the en-
terprising merchants furnishing ice

GOOD ROADS
In Hardin County Are Being Made
at Nominal Cost.

The following article from the
EliEabethtown News should prove
interesting to Lawrence county peo-
pie. The citizens of that county
walked up on the road question a
few years ago and Hardin county
has since become one of the most
prosperous counties in the State
The News says:
Any one who has ridden much
about Hardin county in the last few
weeks was undoubtedly struck with
the very fine grading and the splen-
did condition our dirt roads have
been put in. They are well rounded
tp in the center and extra good
drainage on both sides. Road Com
missioner Brown has really this sprin,
Phd summer done about the best
road building We have ever seen in
the county. -
The long wet spring was very much
against the work, but it has been
done thoroughly in spite of that
fact, many of the roads being gone
pver with the grader as many as thre,
times, ...
Altogether about 400 miles have
been graded, covering nearly all of
the dirt roads of the county, and
these will be graded as soon as the
ground is softened by rain. In ad-
dition to the dirt roads about three
miles of turnpike and one mile of
gravel road have been constructed.
The work has been not only done
better than We have ever seen it,
hut 1t has been done economically.
The entire expenditure has not ex-
.ceeded $4,000 besides the rock and
gravel. Commissioner Brown has
left on hand out of the annual road
budget close to $4,000 for new
turnpike roads and for repairing the
old pixies. To this county fund there
ARE a number Of individual subscrip-
Hons on special roads which will
swell the pike fund to very near s2O,-
600. At the end of the road build
ing season Hardin county under the
Intelligent direction and fine exc
cutive ability Of Commissioner Brown
will have made the most progress of
any year since road construction be-
gan in earnest II the county.
We hope during this fall to see
the road drag put into general use
by the farmers and our next years
turnpikes constructed along the lines
laid down by the Federal Govern
ment experts, which includes what we
pave not at present, steam roller.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. t. D. Wallace left
Wednesday for Hartford, N. Y, to
spend a month with relatives.

Rev. 0. F. Williams.

The law OF the NJ. Z. Church South
places a limit OF four years upon
the continuous service Of a pastor at
one place. For this reason and
this alone are the people of Louisa
resigned 70 the departure of Rev.
o, f. Williams and family, which will
necessarily take place after the close
of the present conference year, In
September next.
With due Difference to the many
good men who have served this
charge We say that none has fill
ed tho bill quite so well as Rev.
Williams. He is full OF energy and
his dreless efforts TO keep up the
various duties of his responsible po-
sition have brought the results that
may be had only by hard work, In
telligently directed. The church
has made decided progress during
the four years Of his administration
both spiritually and materially.
As a preacher he is forceful and
practical. His sermons consist Of
the plain Gospel. applied 10 every
day life The standard held up for
the christian is a high and progress
i've one, but not impossible and Who'll,
ly ideal. Rev, Williams is man
OF fine common sense, excellent judg,
ment and good executive ability
is Intensely in earnest and thorough.
~ in love with his work. Person
ally, he is genial, kind, optimistic
The regret caused by his departure
will not be felt and expressed alone
by the membership of his own church
but by the people OF Louisa In gen.
eral. Mrs. Williams will also be grea
ly missed. She is woman OF fine
character and Is in full sympathy
and accord with the work of her
husband.

We are glad to learn of the success
