Some Church History.


On account of the neglect of several
of our fellow Pastors to keep a record
of their work we loose a long link,
or succession of links in the history
of the church at this place: A fact
that we very much regret we shall
have to jump over long period of
time in which no doubt great many
interesting events happened.
We quit last week after writing
about the organization of the Sun
day school at the brick churc by
Brother McNeely, in 1928. The rea-
ders no doubt noticed the names of
the respective officers, also the names
Of the offices instead of Superinten-
dant, it was President, and Vice Pres
ident; and then in addition to this
they had as you will notice a board
of managers.
But we have to leave them there
and jump from this event in the year
Of our Lord, 1928, to the administra-
ton of Rev. J. T. Fender, in 1876,
losing period of As years.
Brother Fender says;-I took charge
OF No Creek circuit in March 1876 and
am now closing up my second year
as pastor, this March the LIST, 1878.
During the two years, have received
IS members into the church have Or
ganized two new churches, or societies
one at Washington school house and
one at Island Station. Mclean coun-
ty, have had quite a number of good
revivals. When l came to No Creek
the church was not divided into classes
but each society was in one class.
At Wesley Chapel, / made classes
Their appointed 3 as we had one be-
fore. At this place appointed the
first woman class leader ever known
on this charge; Mrs Sarilda c. Stevens
At White Oak { now Shinkle Chapel)
II made a new class the first year and
appointed ]. d. Chapman class leader
and the second year i appointed Jas
Shaver leader of new class at the
same place. Also J. H. James was ap
pointed to take charge OF the infan,

is carried out in anything, the people
have been used to working without
rule, travelling with guides, and in the
main, are opposed to any definite
plan of doing things. Though some
little improvement is being made and
has been made in the past few years.
Quite a number of the membership
don't seem to care anything for the
minister's welfare scores of them new
er pay one cent to the support of the
gospel.
This is the closing of Benjamin
A. Stubbins' fourth year as Presid-
ing Elder. T. Pender.
| write Bro. Pender's name at the
close of his record, as near like his
own signature as possible. All that re-
mains on record of the history of the
church at No creek up to Brother
Penders time, is the names of the
members of the church at No Creek
in the year 1914. They appear on the
old book as follows:
Thomas Stevens, class leader; Nam
cy Stevens, Henry Stevens, was Stew
ard for So year; Hannah Stevens, Sar-
ah Barnett, John Bennett, Jefferies
Bennett, Ellen Bennett, John Bennett,
Casander Bennett, Samuel Bennett, Luz
crecy Bennett, Reuben Bennett, Thorn
as Baird, Mantia Baird, Benjamin Ben
ton, Atheia Benton, Francis Chapman,
Robert Bennett, Thomas Baird, Joseph
Bennett Titus Bennett, Obed Bennett,
Tally Bennett, Elizabeth Bennett, Re
bcca Bennett, Miranda Benton, Joseph
Barnett, William Ford, Anna Ford Jas.
Ford, Sabra Ford, Anna Hoover, Char
lotte Belt, Zechariah Fields, Higger-
son Belt, Cephas Simons, Sarah
Fields.
The record says that Henry Stew
ems has been class leader for So years,
and that Higgerson Belt, joined the
church in 1915. The end.

Editor Barnett Attending
Labor Meeting.

Editor c. M. Barnett left Monday
for Washington, d. c., where on We'd
nesday he met with labor leaders from
all parts of the country, brought to-
gether by President Samuel Gompers
of the American Federation of labor
A Washington dispatch in announc'
ing the meeting says:
1t was disclosed tonight that a mass
convention of the labor leaders has
been called for Wednesday by Pre-
sident Gompers. The American
Federation of Labor will be asked to
decide these two questions:
What attitude shall organize labor
tack towards the, presidential candi-
dacy of Taft?
What steps shah be taken to secure
an amendment to the antitrust law
exempting labor organizations from
its operations?

Operators Mad At Mitchell.

indianapolis, March 17.-Mine oper-
ators have started a movement here
to discredit President John Mitchell's
policy in the coal mine affairs.
The only thing that will prevent an
enormous strike now will be the at
titude of the mine workers, whether
they will rally to defend thier retir-
ing president or go to the operators
and humbly seek peace measures. The
crisis will come in International con-
vention tomorrow.
The answer of the operators who
refuse to meet the miners at all means
that no contract will be made before
April /.
The policy of the Ohio operators is
to defer settlement blaming Mitchell
with the strike, and when the settle
ment is made give T. L. Lewis the
new president, the credit.
The operators are angry at Mitch
ell, who has repeatedly whipped them
into line.

ELECTRIC line
FROM GREENSBORO
To CalhOOn Will Probably Be
Under Construction Soon
viii Make Entrance Into Owens
boro From South. Depot in
Down Town Section.

Construction work on the Ow
ensboro and Calhoon electric rail
road will probably begin in June
The right of way has been secured
with the possible exception of a few
tracts and the members of tn,
company believe that there is moth
ing to delay construction work be-
yond a few weeks. The work has
been held back the past severa
months because of the unsettled fl.
nancial condition.
1t is estimated that the cost Of
the road will be in the neighborhood
of $4,000 mile. This includes
every item of expense of constructor
and equipment, and represents the
cost of the road when ready to trans
port freight and passengers.
The road will enter Greensboro from
the South, entering the corporation
limits by way of Sweeney street. The
right of way will extend along Sween-
ey street to Mcfarland. then west on
Mcfarland to Clay, a distance of hall
a block. Then on Clay to Third, then
down third to Daviess or Allen and
out one or the other of these streets
to the river The council several
months ago agreed to donate right of
way through streets as might be ne
cessary and the ordinance granting
such right of way is now being pre-
pared by the city attorney and a
special Committee appointed by
Mayor O'Bryan at the meeting of
the council held Monday night.
The location of the terminal has
not been determined. 1t will probab-
ly, however, be located at some
point between the corner of Third
and Daviess and Allen and the river
front. Connections will be made
for Ohio river traffic at Owensboro
and for Green river traffic at Cal
hoon and possibly, other points.
The enterprise has been worked
out by Greensboro people for the
most part. A foreign corporation
undertook, few years ago to con-
struct line between greensboro
and Calhoon, but failed in securing
right of way and abandoned the pro-
ject. The rights of way secured were
transferred to the greensboro COM

HARTFORD, FRIDAY 2

any one of who can be elected il
nominated. The enduring principles of
the Republican party are greater and
vastly moer important than any man.
None of us have right to inject our
personal feelings into the race. The
Republicans of Ohio county certainly
stand as one man for the nominee who
ever he may be, believing, even know
Ing, that the best interest of the Re-
public will be subserved by the reten-
ton of the party in power. They
should stand also as one man for the
reelection of Hon. NJ L. Heavrin as
committeeman from the 4th district
His past party service and special fit
ness recommend him to the voters of
the district. His acts as committee
man should be Endorsed. The Repub-
licans of Ohio county unanimously
call on every county in the district
to indorse him.
We have one choice only for COM
mitteeman, NJ. l.. Heavrin, but our
choice for the Presidency will be the
choice of the great party of which we
are proud to be a part.

why FAIRBANKS
SHOULD Be ELECTED
Senator Hemenway, Who Sue
ceeded Himself in the U. S.
Senate Explains.

United States Senator James A.
Hemenway of Indiana, when asked the
other day why Fairbanks should be
nominated for President gave out the
following as his reason.
First that his views on all public
questions are sound. Second, that he is
able and honest. Third, that he will
enforce the laws in the Court and not
in the headlines of the news paper
Let me add that the Vice-President
is a great international lawyer. He
has met the best lawyers at the
American bar and has proved in many
contests that he is competent to bat
tie with any man who is matched
against him.
There is belief in some quarters
that Mr.. Fairbanks lacks in warmth
and personal attractiveness. 1t is not
so. The Vice-President doesn't smoke
or drink, or run around with the boys,
but he is as cordial, sincere and kind
hearted as was Mckinley, whom he re.
sembles in many ways. The people
know of his integrity and strength
and trust and respect him. They see
in him, too, a farmers son who has
come to high honor without the help
of influential friends or accidental cir
cumstances

Another Man Takes His Own
Life,

Central City, March 17.-Mr. Green
Hunt, a prominent and wealthy farm
er of Dunmor, near here, committed
suicide Monday by hanging himself
in a stable at bis home. His family
relations were very pleasant. His
wife and two children, two married
daughters, have not the slightest
idea why he took his own life. He
had made no threats,and it was not
till two hours after life was extinct
did his wife find him suspended by a
rope from a rafter in the stable. Tenn
porary insanity, caused by continued
bad health, no doubt, prompted the
rash deed. This Is the second suicide
recently in the little town of Dun
MOI. and the citizens are considerably
worried over 1t, scarcely knowing
what next to expect.

ANSWERS BECK
ham With PROOF
Senator Campbell Produces
UncOunted Ballots.
Replies With This Evidence
Charging That He Violated
His Trust

Franfokrt, KY, March II. - Secur
ing the floor of the Senate tonight
on a question of personal privilege
Senator j. Wheeler Campbell sprang a
sensation by holding up to the view
of his associates an armful of books
containing stubs of ballots cast In
Fulton county at the 1906 primary
which nominated Beckham and Hager
He then read affidavits which show
ed that the Democratic chairman of
the county had failed TO prepay ex-
pressage on them to Frankfort, and
that they had been returned to him
without ever having been considered
by the canvassing board in making its
returns of the primary.
The stubs showed that by an over
whelming majority the ballots had
been cast for McCreary and Hays. Ad-
ditionel affidavits were read by the
Senator which showed that the bal
lots had been counted for Beckham
and Hager and so certified by the Can
wasting Board.
The Senator produced and read af-
fidavits of twenty-six voters who de-
clared that they had voted for Hays
in the westward precinct of Fulton,
while the official returns showed that
only eight votes were cast for the for
mer Attorney General.
The Senator stated that he knew
many of the men personally. Other af-
fidavits were produced in which sew
enty-three Democrats swore that they
were unable to cast their votes for
Hays in West Hickman on account Of
their being no ballots.
In this precinct the Senator declared
there were 700 registered Democratic
voters and the number of ballots is
sued did not exceed 21O.
There, he said, the ballots were not
issued on account OF a strong anti
Beckham sentiment, and for the reason
that the machine could not procure
election officers who would make false
returns.
These reasons he gave for repudiat-
ing the Democratic nominee. "A few
nights ago." said Senator Campbell
1.-THE Democratic Ex-Governor and
party leader saw fit to express his
views of those Democrats who failed to
support him for Senator and to in
sinuate that considerations other than
personal hostility to him were respon-
sible for their failure to support him.
II denounce such insinuation or
charges as absolutely false and defy
any man to prove where one dirty dol
lar has ever crossed by palm since
have been a member of this General
Assembly, or that | ever travelled on a
pass issued by a railroad company in
the State.
Il call upon Ex-Governor Beckham
to file bill of particulars to furnish
proof that his insinuations are true"
Senator Campbell then made an urg-
ent appeal to the Democrats of Ken
lucky to get together and stick to the
Democratic principles calling for
sanity fair play and an honest deal
for all who participate in the affairs
of the the party in the State.

COMES OUT STRONG
LY FOR HARMONY.
President Cullip, of the Green
River District A.S.of E., Gives
Coed Advice.

April 2, being the regular time for
the quarterly meeting of the Green
river district, let me suggest that all
locals of the A. of E., whether in
good standing or otherwise, which
have heretofore been in good stand
ing, get together and send one dele
gate to the district meeting. This
meeting is a very important one, and
every local in the district should be
represented. We urge, particularly
that each county send in it's report
on acreage reduction that we may
determine how the district as a whole
stands on that question. Now is the
time for action. Let us have the
biggest and best meeting in the dis
trict's history.
The difference between the home
warehouse people and the Louisville
warehouse people being practically
eliminated, and a general sentiment
that the two factions should get to-
gether, l take the responsibility OF
urging that they, too, send delegates
We want to do business, or at least
to get in shape to do business at this
meeting and seeing the futility of dis
cord and dissention let us all strive
to harmonic our energies in this eff
fort to control the tobacco situation
in this district and to keep ever in
mind the text. "A house divided
against itself, cannot stand"

Body to Be Shipped Home.

The letter was dated Sunday. showing
that Killmar had made up his mind to
kill himself before he went to bed on
Sunday night. 1t is probable that he
spent several days in thinking of self
destruction, as he was in his room at
the Wellington most of the time on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday. A telegram
from j. II. Killmdr of Des Moines. Iowa.
offeringAhim money and asking him if he
wanted to go to Des Moines, was found
among the dead mans effects. 1t indi-
Gated that Kfllmar'S relatives had learned
something of his troubles and were will
ing to assist him.
j. II. Killmar was notified of the young
mans death. A reply was quickly re-
ceived asking that Undertaken O'Donnell
ship the body to the parents at Spencer.

Would we be likely to add more to the cost than
