fact that the Kentucky village has
been without a legally appointed po-
lice Judge since the November cleo
ton in 1907. The discovery came in
the form of a announcement by At
torney T. n. Ross, who represented
Harry Smith and w. T. Greenslait,
in their trial for selling whiskey
without a license, which was called
before Judge Sutton.

SHORT SERMON ON LYING.

SHORT SERMON ON LYING.
A natural element Of the foul, heav-
en- born, is that of perfect faith and
trust. This luxury of the soul pre-
sents to us the great responsibility
of parents and teachers. The parent
or teacher often teaches a child 10 Iia
by speaking and acting lies. One of
the most effective ways to manufac-
ture a nation of liars and defaulters
is by the object lesson system. A
mother tastes some nauseous medi-
CHE, assuring the child by words
and actions that it is very nice. The
child takes the medicine, detects the
lie the mother has told It, learns by
such lessons to deceive and conse-
quently never climbs to the mountain
top of honor and write his name by
the side of George Washington. No

The reason why women do not pro-

fact that they want to have the last

1t is worth a thousand dollars a

Kindness is slowed away in the
heart like rose leaves in a drawer

Many a LIE full of promise has
been wrecked owing to the want Of
definite ain in life, and the only
way to insure success is to determine
upon certain line of action, to have
an ultimate object in view, and to
make every effort to reach the goal

There are two kinds of schools in
this country, both strong in their
