James p Smiths campaign and how
well that contest was conducted is q
matter still fresh In the minds of the
Paducah pubic. Observant Demo
cratic politicians bear witness that
Mr.. Bells legitimate, but thorough
methods. are The hardest they ever
had to meet.
Besides being loyal and enthusiastic,
Mr.. Bell is cool and resourceful. He
is indefatigable and fair, even temper
ed and quick to take advantage of a
mistake OF the opposition, able to see
through an exigency into definite re-
suits.
There was no hard feeling after
the election last fall. Under Mr..
Bells management of the campaign
all elements of the party were welded
together, and when the election was
over everybody was rejoicing.
Such men as that are needed in the
active political work. A party divided
against itself cannot stand With Z
r.. Bell as chairman, the county or
ganization will start out on the next
four years in the best shape 1t has
ever been. Factionalism is one thing,
but in this matter we must have re-
gard to the welfare of the whole Re
publican party.

MODEL PosToFFICE MAY WIN.
Committee Expected to Approve Pro-
ject for West Side Building.

Washington. April 22.-It is ex
peCted that the house committee or
pubic buildings and grounds will con
plete its work and have a bill-ready
to report within a few DAYS. The
prospect for the retention in the meas
ure CT the s75O.O0O for the purchase
of site for a model postoffice build
ing on the West Side in Chicago near
the Union station is believed to be eX-
cellent. Representative McGalvin
who has taken the lead in pushing the
idea, appeared before the committee
today to make a final argument in be-
half of The project, and the committee
members appeared decidedly favor
able to his plea.

Sent on to Princeton.

Two blind beggars, man and wife,
who have been in the habit of com
ing to Paducah at regular intervals
for the past several years, were
driven off the street by the secretary
of the Charity club one day early
this week, and then applied to the
mayor for transportation. The man
and woman were accustomed to sit
on the corner of Third street and
Broadway and play musical -instru-
ments TO attract attention 10 them
selves. They lived in boarding
house on South Third street and had
just returned to the city after long
absence. II was not possible to give
them transportation at the expense
of the city, so a purse was made NJ
for them and a ticket was purchased
as far as Princeton.

HOW OLD IL
YOUR COMPLEXION.

The old saying, "A woman is as
old as she looks" means that she is
just as old as her complexion. It's
just as easy to have a clear, bright
complexion at 60 as II is at 16, If
You will only take care of the gifts
nature has given you. Wrinkles, sal
lowness and facial blemishes are all
unnecessary. They can readily be re-
moved and banished permanently by
the exercise of little attention. The
face, neck and arms should be thor
oughly washed every night and morn
ing in tepid water and just as thor-
oughly dried Then throw the greasy
cream, the rouge jar and the powder
box away and use the following sim
pie wash regularly every night and
morning:
Obtain at your drug store Rose
Water, 2 ounces; Cologne Spirits,
ounce; Eppotone (skin food. 4
ounces. Put the Eppotone in a pint
of hot water mot boiling) and after
dissolved, strain and let cool. Then
add the Rose Water and Cologne
Spirits.
This wash can be easily made at
home. II does not cost much and is
better than all the widely advertised
beauty preparations" you can buy.

Sent to Baptist Home.

Transportation was furnished by
Mayor Smith today for two orphan
boys. aged 3 and I years, who are to
be sent TO the Baptist Orphans
home at Louisville. For two years
past the boys have been living with
their grandmother, who has reached
a time in life when she is no longer
able to care for them. Their mother
died some three years ago and the
children were sent here from Penn
sylvania. The whereabouts of their
father is unknown, but it is believed
he IS serving a term in some prison.
The grandmother has been a bene-
ficiary of the Charity club and it was
through the efforts of this organiza-
ton and the officials of the First Bap-
fist church that a home was secured
for the little fellows in the Louisville
Institution.

 Surrounded by the wives of these erstwhile respeclted citizens of Bingville, who had SO far forgot their honor as to compromise with the demon Rum-sur- rounded by these weeping wives, Rev. Moore clim upon a chair and preached them sich another sermon as they never heard before and probably never will again. He denounced them all in sich strong terms that it nearly sobered them all up and they become quiet as lambs. After Rev. Moore had said his say, he pulled the spigot from the hard cider bari and stood beside 1t in defiance un- til every drop of it had went to waste on the 'out-kichen floor. Then he went home in deep disgust follered shortly by the inibriates and their wives, who lectured them all the way home on the evils of strong drink.
 Cy Hoskins, who was one of the most influenchial members of the Bingville Church says he don't know but he ought to take his name from the church roll to pay Rev. Moore back for letting all that hard cider go to waste, and that he will unless Rev. Moore apologies.

AWFUL SKANDAb!
Bingville Tore Up From Gen. ter to Sircumferince by the Turrible Coins on at Cy Hos kinS Weddin Anniversary DiSgraceful Details Give Be- low
low

Cy Hoskins, one of our most respeclct- ed and prosperous citizens, assisted by his most estimable wife, Saphronia Hos kins, on last Thursday celebrated the 10th anniversary of their marriage, and what was meant to be glad oceashion' turned out to be public scandal.
 Forty years agone Cyrus and Saph- ronia stood up side by side before the parson, having two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that thumped as one, and was immutably united in the holy bonds of wedlock. Of course, they have had their spats and their ups and downs, and on more than one oc- cashion Cyrus has felt the force ot broomstick or a floormop, and yet as partners in each others joys and sor- rers, they decided to celebrate their anniversary and invite their nabors to participate, which they done.
 The guests begin to arrive as early as 10 a. m., and at l2 o'clock noon to the sprains of a wedding march, played by Miss Sally Hoskins, Cyrus and Saph- ronia marched into the parlor, and be- fore the assembled guests, stood up in the same wedding clothes which they wore, 10, these 40 years ago, and was married all over again by Rev. Sam1 Moore, our beluyved pastor of the Bing- vile church. After the ceremony was over, and the guests present had con- graduated Cyrus and Saphronia on being able to live with each other 40 years, all present set down to a grand dinner which Mrs. Hoskins had prepared with her own hands, at which feast all done noble, eatin until they nearly busted theirselves.
 After the dinner was over, Cy he went out among the men folks, all ex- cept Rev. Moore, and whispered a word , in their ear, after which Cy left the room and they begin to foller him out ones and twos to the out-kitchen which is used only in the summer time, and where Cy had built up a good fire in the stove, making it snug and warm. When Cy's male guests assembled in the out-kitchen, their eyes bugged out with anticipation when they beheld a bari of hard cider all ready tapped, with numerous tin cups provided to drink from. Cy told the men to help their selves, and it is needless to add that they did. After they had had three or four rounds of the hard cider (which was made two years ago last fall and has been bunged up tight since) their where abouts become manifest to the ladies in the other part of the house, also to Rev Moore. Loud talking and sing ing interspersed by a occashional oath, emanated from the out-xitchen to the mortified ears of the wives and dsugh- ters, who was assembled within hear ing. Led by Rev. Moore, the women folks preceded to the out-kitchen, and the scene that met their gaze amt scaircely fit to print.
 When Rev. Moore opened the doog and stepped in follered by the good women of Bingyille, Deacon Butter worth, a pilleF of the Bingville Church and AmzI Gooltns, was laying on the floor struggling with each other and trying to punch each others faces owing to some little disagreement they had had.

The Leading Paper of the Count
BEigAt-Brsezy-BellicOss-Bus

As far back as the oldest inhabi- tant of Bingville can recolleckt (and that's pretty fur back), we ain't had no sich a rip-snorter of a winter in Bingville as we have had so far this winter, and the winter ain't over yet. Being as this is the case, it won't do no harm to write a editorial on this subjeckt.
 Ole Dad Henderson, who has got a reputashion as a weather profit in Bingville by perdickting whether or not we would have hard winter, and by missing it as often as he hits it, perdicketed that this would be hard winter in our midst, but being as nobody put any dependence in what Dad said, no special preparations was made in Bingville for no sich a winter as has overlook us. As for Dad,. he goes around Bingville with his old fur cap on, a wool comforter around his neck, isickles on his whiskers, and says, T told you sol"
 Up to this winter it has been the general opinion in Bingville that the winters has not been as hard as they used to be, but this winter has knocked that theory into a Rocked , hat. Scientists who ain't got much else to do and can't sleep, say that this earth is growing colder, and that a few million years hence, it will be so doggoned cold that mo- body can't live on it, just like the moon and other heavenly bodies which have lost their heat. It is a comfort to know that none of us will be living on this earth several million years from now if it will be any colder in Bingville than it is now.
 It is so paralyzing cold in Bing- vile at present that our inhabitants have, as you might say, denned up for the winter just like wood chuclzs. On the coldest days you don't scarcely see nobody stirring around outside their holes 'ceptin to go to the postoffice for their mail, or to Hen Weathersby's store for social intercourse in the even ing, as the case may be.
 We think we voice the general sentiments of our subscribers when we say that we will all be glad af- ter the triggers of this winter has passed to be able to say with glad acclaim, Spring has came!

Wes Woodruff our expert hunter and trapper is gradually losing all his friends again this winter, owing to his oderifer- ousness which he has acquired by re- movin pelts from skunks which he has trapped.
 When Wes draps into Hen Weathers- by's store to spend the evening and sets up close to the stove to git thawed out the other respeckted citizens of Bing- vile present gifts up and goes home leaving Hen and Wes alone in the store together. Hen says that if it wasn't foi hurting Wes's feelings he'd ask him to spend his ev'gs at home stid of settir round his store driving trade away. No body ain't got any more friends in Bing- vile during the summertime than Wes Woodruff, but in winter after he has skun a few skunks nobody seems tc banker to assoshiate with him.
