Notes..
The race for the flag is still hot.

The race for the flag is still hot.
Shelbyville has pitched mp good
youngster in Foley. He is the best
fielding first basemsn seen here this
season.
G. Long is little but he is good
pitcher. He has an excellent drop
ball. 1t even fooled "Old Whit t"
Whitaker is the Wagner of this
league. He hits them anywhere, high,
low, close in or wide. They all look
alike to him.
1t is certain death to try to steal
second on Dawson He has a great
throwing arm and he gets the ball
away from him quickly.
Krug is playing beautiful ball
around the third cushion. He is as
fast as fash and can get the ball
away from him quicker than anyone
in this league. lie has but one weak
ness, and that is his tendency to throw
too quickly when it is not necessary,
and as a consequence makes a bad
throw occasionally.
According to special from Frank
fort, some Richmond fan is so eager
20 see the Pioneers win the flag he
has offered the team a tree trip to the
Worlds series, to be played between
the winners of the National and
American leagues, if they VIII bring
the flag 20 Richmond. This is II
liberal offer indeed, and one worth try
ing for.
AIloway is the best umpire we have
seen. He is good judge of balls and
strikes, and is always right on top of
all base plays. The best thing about
him, tho, is the fact that be is 'boss,"
He doesn't take any back-talk from
the players. sending them to the bench
for the least Offense. This is the kind
of umpiring the people want to see and
il be keeps it up he will always be
welcome here.

WEDNESDAY. AUG 25 1909

A few more weeks will flush up the
holding of this years fairs in Ken
lucky. Usually one thinks of a coun-
ty fair as merely place where sleek
horses and cattle, fat hogs, plenty of
prize pumpkins, interesting racing
and big crowd may be found. The
fair. it ordinarily seems to us, cores
today and is gone tomorrow-until
next year. 1t is a good place to spend
hour or so, hut the next week it will
be gone without having left behind
any apparent effects, good, bad or
indifferent.
This. however, is not the most in
teresting side Of fair. A county
fair, such as is held annually here, is
important in its sociological aspects.
1t is a great clearinghouse of public
opinion, and a place where acquaint-
ances are renewed and kept green.
''I'll see you at the fair" may be
the parting words of friends, lovers,
men of business, men of no business.
They may be spoken in the crisp
tones of the man who looks forward
to the meeting as an opportunity to
discuss contract or a sale; or they
may be whispered by the youthful
pair whose hearts are athrill with the
dawning of love. Lives have been
ennobled and lives have been wrecked
at the fair.
A county fair is great educator,
not altogether in the more obvious
way-as an exhibit where one may
see better machines, better live stock,
better industrial products than he
has ever seen before but rather in
more intangible way. The man who
but seldom meets people, here proba-
bly, meets many and is improved
thereby. The person of Philosophic
tuln here sees a whole section-city
people, country people; good and
bad-in miniature. The fair is for
him, in fact, a panorama of society
or a portion of it. Ii one be wise, he
may, by looking on this panorama,
see himself in true perspective, for
here are representative persons from
the region in which be lives. If the
onlooker has wisdom he is likely
to ask himself this question: How
do l, how my family, and my COM
munity, average up?
If we could know only few OF the
comedies that are here played; |
If we could but know of the tragedies
that are enacted here behind the
scenes, we would know more fully |
the real significance Of the fair.

WORD "poke." Poke is weed that
grows in rich soil and a makes large
soft stalk. Poke is small sack or
bag in which the women store away
beans and other seeds for the next
years planting. Poke is a kind of ac-
ton that if one gets addicted too and

a Tribute TO Thomas Paine
By a Subscriber

Paine succeeded in convincing the
poor and ignorant man that this state
of affairs was not God-decreed mat
ter, and that the priest could dress in
anything he wished to if he paid for
it, but that the poor man was under
no moral or religious obligation to
pay for the luxurious living of any
man. Paine advised the people to
keep back the 1.-THE for themselves and
their families, and give to religion only
what they we're able to spare. Put
ting this into practice, the working
man was no longer so poor nor so
ignorant. Believing that charity be-
gan at home, the common man felt it
to be religious duty to educate and
make comfortable his own family
Superstition having left the man, the
devout priest no longer had superhu-
man power over him.
Then the priest began to hate and
malign Paine Paine retorted with
1.-THE Age Of Reason" Then Mr..
Priest got furious, and to this day the
Catholic Church has hated the name
of Thomas Paine.
Sometimes it seems to me almost
pity that Mr.. Paine wrote the Age
of Reason, because it killed the in
fuence Of his political works to some
extent. Every lover of freedom would
be benefited if he would read the
political works of Thomas Paine, but
a great many Christian people do not
want his books in their houses on ac-
count Of his attitude against the
Church, thus losing sight Of his plea
for the political and individual free
dom of mankind.
| honor the name of Paine because
he fought for every man in this
world who lived on the work and labor
of his fellow man. He risked his life

When [ look down through the Wis

men that have done great good in re-
moving the heel Of the tyrant from

name of man seldom mentioned in
periodical print, but whom it is i'm
possible to leave out when we make
a roster of the great reformers. This
man is Thomas Paine.

If no other man living or dead had
ever written line against tyranny
except Thomas Paine in years present
and years to come, tyranny would
kneel at the feet Of an enlightened
world. If no other man had ever
struck a blow at Special Privilege ex-
cept Thomas Paine, Special Privilege
would never again be able to fatten on
a patient people. Tyranny and OPP
preston thrive on the ignorance and
cowardice Of the people. No man can
be ignorant of government and read
the works Of Thomas Paine No Won
der kings hated him. He knocked
their thrones from under them,-a
President, George Washington, took
the place Of King George.
The priest claimed one-tenth of all
the poor man made. He collected it
because he succeeded in making the
poor man believe that God wanted the
poor man to pay it. He (the priest)
wore glittering and costly gowns made
after the style of millionaire s wife's
dress. The tail of it was so long that
it took half a dozen boys to tote it
for him, and the poor looked on in
superstition and ave. The priest
made the poor and ignorant believe
that God wanted him to dress so
splendidly, while they must wear
rags.
