dignified business man who en-

Coming up one Christmas day,
just at one O'Clock, when most
of the subarbanites were seated
at tables that groaned with good

hail the car at his step, hand the
motorman a big waiter, and with
a hearty merry Christmas" turn
back up the walk at his home.
The conductor moved forward,
relieving the motorman, who sat
down on the step and pushed
aside a snowy napkin. Beneath
this / saw, as / peered through
the window, a large plate heaped
with every imaginable Christ

Beside the plate stood a steaming

along the Kentucky and Ten

drilling for oil and making test
for other minerals, AT present
they are leasing in the section
near Red Boiling Springs and
will probably carry the work over
into Monroe County KY. They
have ample evidence of the ex-

a sufficient number Of leases can
be secured and machinery gotten
on the ground they will begin

NO SPECIAL SESSION
UNLESS EMERGENCY ARISES
Governor Puts at Rest Rumon Concerning
the Calling Of an Extra Session.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 12.-Gov.
Wilson tonight put at rest all
rumors concerning the calling of
an extra session of the Legisla-
ture, coming out in a positive
statement that he would not con-
vene that body except in the
event of pressing emergency.
He said:
81 will not call the General
Assembly together to consider
the county unit bill, nor any sub
ject of legislation generally con.
sldered at regular sessions, but
only for emergency matters. 1T
any emergency, provided the
power to call special sessions is
given, should arise making a
special session necessary, / will
then decide what subjects, if any
shall be considered besides the
emergency subjects
1t is believed that the Cover
nor's declaration was prompted
by the publication of an article
which indicated that petitions
were being drafted calling upon
the executive to call the Legis-
lature for the purpose of passing
the county unit bill, and that it
is his desire to spare prospective
petitioners this trouble. The
Governor said further tonight
that he did not consider the
county unit bill an emergency
matter, but one of the character
that is usually and properly con-
sidered by the regular session.
