Office Goes Begging.

Green county, KY, has had the
distinction of being without a sheriff
for many years, and can not find no
citizen who will have this Office
which is much sought in other coun-
ties over the state. Many years
ago that county voted $3.50, 200
railroad bonds, and they we're issued
although the road was never COM
pleted. The owners are attempting
to collect the debt which has recent
ly been declared legal by the Su.
preme Court but the people are OBJ
stinate and say they will never pay
il. No man can be found who will
permit the honor OF being sheriff
thrust upon him even without a con-
test because he would be forced 10
collect these taxes and he would
more than likely lose his life.
Saturday afternoon, a large num-
Der of the Sunday School pupils of
the primary departments, Of the
Methodist Church, gathered at the
home Of Mrs. c. F. Baltzer. A
fish pond was an interesting feature,

pinning the tail on a donkey was a
source Of much merriment. Other
interesting features made the after
noon a pleasant one. $500 was
cleared.

within her borders from 1887 to
1906, inclusive Of both years, and
