Omitted last week for want OF space.)
Rev. w. ID. Powell, of Louisville,
State Sec. of the Kentucky Baptist
Mission Board Will deliver two SER
mons here on the morning and after
noon the third Sunday in this month.
DR.. Powell is well known minister
and a large crowd is expected to
turn out. Dinner on the ground.
Some excitement was created here the
first OF the week, by the chase and
capture of large wild hog that had
been in hiding and preying on corn-
fields, since sometime in August. The
hog escaped from some stock shippers
here at the time mentioned, and had
been roaming about the unfenced
cornfields ever since. The chase
had been kept up SO long that
all the dogs and men In the
neighbrhood had gained in the pur-
suit, and he would be eluding capture
yet but for his venture, before the
dogs. into a bog where he mired down
and became helpless captive.
Politics looks good for the Republic
ans up this way. Our candidates are
known TO be fit and capable to fill
the offices and every Republican is
in line for all of them. And on the
dead quiet three Democrats have told
me that they were tired of playing a
losing game and, were going to vote
with US this time.

w. o. Smith, Democratic nominee
for Legislature in Muhlenburg coun-
ty. has been pulled off the track
and J. F. Richardson put in his stead.
Smith was the nominee two years
ago.being then president of the Unit
ed Mine Workers in District 90, and
it was thought that his prestige with
that organization would make him a
sure winner but Taggart was elected
with ease. Now that Smith is down
and out as president of District 20
the Democracy has no further use for
him and he is cast aside as a thor
oughly sucked lemon.

OWNING AN AUTOMOBILE
 BRINGS MANY FRIENDS
By IRWIN S. COBB.

A youth who was got up elaborately and regardless in an automobile cap and a fur automobile coat with the fur all standing out the wrong way on it. like the hide of a shot rabbit strode through the lobby of the St. Reckless. Quite number of men who were sitting down got right up to speak to him and at least two of them shook hands with him warmly.
 That young Wopleigh pears to have plenty of friends" remarked the House Detective of the St. Reckless.

He's so frugal with what brains he has that he rarely uses any of them and his remarks have all the sprightly flavor of the stammering man who learned, in 20 easy lessons, by mail, to say Peter Piper picked peck of pickled peppers without stuttering and then spent the rest of his life trying to work into the conversation.
 He's not the kind that has friends. It's his automobile That has the friends. An automobile may have its faults and frequently does, but never saw one yet

Masks of Niaht Riders.

Telling of the Night Riders in Ten nessee, Don Marquis, in Uncle Remuss the Home Magazine for January, says:
 ''They are both a military and civil organization. The head is known as the general; counties are presided over by colonels; magisterial districts by cap tains, and so forth. It is the policy to allow the younger men-mostly fellows between the ages of IS and soto do the actual raiding; while the older heads and steadier hands are reserved for jury duty, witnesses. and so forth, in case any of the raids lead to trouble in the courts.
 The masks used are constructed of almost any dark material, with slits cut for the eyes and mouth; the leaders wear, in addition to these band of white across the shoulders. Each man has his

 got he'd a made a good hand to mend

 And so, in due time I presume, Larry, the airship or something will be crowding the automobile out of the picture. But it's stayed with us a good while, espe- cially the earlier domestic variety, which usually stayed until team came and hauled it back to the repair shop. And so no matter what happens. the impress it has left upon our history can never be entirely obliterated. As I was just point ing out to you, it's won millions or friends for itself among those who don't have to pay it's gasoline and repair bliis. It has made some men rich and great many poor. It has added several new names to our language and many to our cemeteries. It has richened our public roads with the full satisfying smells or crude oil and fresh-spilled gore. It nas brought to us a number of picturesque words and phrases such as tonneau and git a horse, and death at the hands of an unknown red automobile And finally 1t has been responsible TOT the popular and growing form of lunacy known as the Automobile Bug"
 "Wot's that like?p asked the House De- tective.

bout that didn't cost over $1S00 Is held in general esteem by those who come in contact with her. while the feeling that Is entertained for a large touring car with all the modern conveniences and an obliging chauffeur that don't mind how late he's kept up at night very often ap- breaches sheer idolatry.
 The automobile will have its day, Lar ry. l suppose most everything does that gets too common. l can remember when persons who were otherwise sane in all respects actually thought a Queen Anne cottage was a proper habitation for hu- man beings, and went and built em by the thousands and even lived in 'enn, sur rounded on all sides by demoniac porti- cos with jig-saw jiggers around the edges, and foolish, dippy little towers elinging to the outer wall like wen on your eyebrow, and just about as pretty. And about that time or shortly before, or soon after, We had the worsted motto, which is now happily no more, oh joy. And then the old-fashioned high wheel bicycle, and the Belgian hare, and the mustache cup, and the vinegar cruet in the middle of the dine-room table.
 And where are all those things now? l recall when no careful dresser who had dropping or semi dropping style of WIiShefS would dare to think of tiltng his morning coffee into himself unless he had mustache cup, but now I doubt if there's one in general use unless it s by the Bearded Lady with Barnum & Baileys who, from what I can hear, is tidy creature and very careful about her appearance. Then there was the Bel gian hare, a distant relative of the more modern Welsh rabbit. Don't you remem- Der, Larry, when everybody was going to buy pair of Belgian hares and make a million dollars by the next spring? But this interesting animal lost his following when it dawned upon us that about all you could get out of a Belgian hare was more Belgian hares at the rate of 22 the first year, 2200 the second year, 1000 the third year and 22,0O0,009 the fourth year. Nobody ever tried to figure beyond the fourth year; they'd have run out of arithmetic. So he went into the discard, too. and the place he'd held in the popular estimation was taken by the pneumonia mierobe, which brf s almost as fast as he does, doesn't up as much room and is heater m his personal habits.

that didn't have winning way about it when 1t comes to making friends. An automobile in the shop may seem cold and naughty and forever out of your reach but once let it pass into possession of somebody you know and can work for joy rides, and you'd be surprised to find out how many lovable, attractive traits that automobile will develop.

New York, July 19.-Ten persons
were drowned, two Of them little girls,
when the excursion sloop Roxana, car
rying % passengers, was capsized by
a sudden squall in lower New York
bay.
The captain of the Roxana and the
10 survivors were picked up under
great difficulties in a rough and chop
py sea by the tug Lamont.
The Roxana, with her skipper, Cap
tain Samuelson, was chartered at Ul-
mer Beach, Brooklyn, by party from
Brooklyn for a sail across the bay to
Midland Beach, Staten Island, and
back. The first leg of the voyage was
made without mishap and all hands
piled ashore to E1ake merry.
All afternoon there was stiff
breeze from the southwest, which
left nasty cross sea. Toward 4
o'clock the Roxana, reeling homeward
across the bay under all the sail good
Judgment would permit to be carried,
slipped into a squall. She lay over
until her copper plates glistened in
the sun, and as the angle of the deck
steepened to the boiling water in her
lee, the women screamed and scram
