FISHERMAN IS
 FOUND DEAD

The body of Ole Olson, a Juneau fisherman, was found this morning jApril 27) at 11:$O on the beach by Frank Fitzgerald. Judge Folsom and Dcputy Marshal Faulkner brought the body to the city this aft,rnoon. Yes tcrday about 3 o'clock, Olson left in q small boat for the bar. When found this morning his boat was cap- sized and his provisions were found in it still untouched. It is a matter ot conjecture how long his body was on the beach. There was no evidence Of foul play, as the body remains in- tact. except about the ears, which are scratched. This is supposed to have been done by the sea gulls. Olson lived back of the hospital.-Juneau Record.

CITIZEN REPLIES TO TAX
PAYER.
Mt. Vernon, Kv..
Dec. IS, 1909

Dec. IS, 1909
Mr. Albright, the Editor:-
l have been much impressed
with the truth contained in the
articles from the Taxpayer" and
most heartily agree with him that
our leading citizens do not take
the interest or do the work they
should to advance the looks and
business of our town and county.
The highest and best interests Of
this community should move them
to action and leadership. 1t is a
wise dollar invested in public i'm
provements or in the cause of
education. The best evidence of
local pride and devotion to
municipal interest is by an active
participation of our people in
promoting substantial public i'm
provements.
What is necessary to have good
town with splendid appearance?
To our mind, these are the essenli
ais, first class hotel; convenient
water; splendid lights; 6ue educa :
tional buildings, with the citizens
taking an active interest therein;
concrete sidewalks, with combined
curb aud guttering; a clean, at
tractive barber shop, with bath OF
hot and cold water: we'll kept and
handsome public buildings, to-
gether with nicely painted private
residences. The stranger comes
within our midst, with money to
spend; he stops at the hotel, walks
upon the streets, shaves at the
shop, longs for a bath, observes cur
stores, our side walks, our street S,
our school buildings and churches.
Mt. Vernon has lost many adollas
because our people were not wide
awake and we did not have these
thing to furnish those who are able
and willing to pay for theui. 1t
is not wealth that makes any town
but tits the heartyco- operation and
public pride of the people in the
town. )
Won't the Tax payer suggest
way by which we can get more
revenue than we have1 Our Town

Complete line from Bromo to

HansfOrd and road OF two leading
off toward the Madison and Garrard
county line and elsewhere in the

we could have consolidated schools
which would mean a great deal to
Mt. Vernon and country people

Now good people of Mt Vernon
don't be like the people were III

don't intend to give it, up till /

De lieve there is enough people in
Mt. Verron that are not living
alone for themselves to help in
this good cause If the good
people will just give accordance
to the way he has been prcspered
we will build a monument to our
memory that will out live any
thing that our friends might have
put to the head of our graves.
Now what are you going to do9

P. H. SHUTS ON ROADS

The action of the people of Mt
Vernon on my turnpike proposition
makes me reflect on what my old
friend ]. I. White said about
Rockcastle. 1t looks like just now
as though his representations will
come trne. as the people of this
county are not apt TO revive the
pike question for manv years if we
fail this time after making tne
progress that we have toward
getting one started.
/ know from experience the
feelings of Mr.. w. j. Sparks when
he wrote his article withdrawing
his offer, as ] have offered more
than any four men and then would
approach men on the subject that
was financially worth a half dozeh
time as much as | am that would
not give any thing not even a
good word for the. cause, would
make me feel like going way back
and sitting dywn. But that won I
do What would be the condition
Of the world today. religlously
speaking, if ali christian workers
in the past, would have gotten
.disheartened and quit the cause, of
Z christianity just because the rest
the world could not be converted
to the faith of Christ. So if any
good cause is agitated and man is
convinced that it is o. K. and that
he is able to contribute tor its ad-
vancement that he should push the
cause on to completion or till all
chances has vanished Mt. Vernon
has many good and enterprisine
citizens and it is my prediction
that If this sample piece of road is
J built that there is a bright future
awaiting them. As the constitu
tiona1 amendment has carried il
has paved the way for good roads
throughout the mountains Of KY.
provided they want them.
1t was the intention of the pro
moters of the proposed piece O
pike to make it sample by which
we may educate the people the
way in which we can build gooc
roads and still have the money
with us. Then when built and al
the advantages pointed out to the
people we will petition the count,
court to hold an election for the
purpose Of voting something like
a $50. 900. bond for improving oul
highways to be distributed through

crete buildings erected instead.
But how can we get this done?
We realize the importance of
organization, that is the way
great things are done. A Com
mercial or Business Mems Club
W ,uld be of much benefit to Mt.
Vernon and Rockcastle. But if
Mt. Vernon is to succeed and
become business center, one thiug
must be done and that we cannot
escape from, we must have cool
roads. If the business men aud
the farmers want to improve their
own financial condition and
provide better means for their
children. they must set about to
build good roads. Won't the
leading business men start the
Club movements? They certainly
want more trade and the way to
get that is by well defined plans
which result from organization.
The people of Mt. Vernon
should get busy should shake
themselves, wake up, should set
about with determination to have
better improvements aud some of
the conveniences of life. We can
have them if the people will only
go to work for them and keep
agitating the question, Don't be
satisfied until thew are had; rest
not until we shall enjoy them and
when once had, nothing on earth
would cause US to give them up.

THE CAMEL.
Characteristics of the Patient, Strong
and Useful Animal.

Characteristics of the Patient, Strong
and Useful Animal.
AS far back as the middle Of last
century General Won MOltke in his de-
scriptiye letters from Asia Minor had
many good words to say about the
camel. This animal" he said, can
carry a burden of nearly 600 pounds
bans in taking their women, children,
old men, tents, food, water, etc, from
place to place 1t is able to withstand
a march of ten days without drink,
and a fifth stomach ever reserves a
drink for its master in an hour of ex-
IRENE distress. The hair Of the camel
is used for clothing and tents. The
milk and flesh are healthy. 1t exists
on the most miserable food, such as
grass and thistles. Such are the char.
acteristics of this patient, strong, de-
fenseless and most useful Of all ami
mails"
A camel is never relieved of its load
from the beginning of the journey to
it's end. 1t eats, walks and sleeps I'M
der it's burden, often for weeks at a
time. The training of a camel is no
easy matter, as it takes about three
years to teach it to bend the knees in
order to be loaded and unloaded.
While as the time passes the camel
will not be able to withstand the keen
competition of the new railways which
are piercing every part of Asia Minor,
yet thanks to the power Of tradition
over the Turkish inhabitants of the
country and their fondness for these
animals, the caravan routes today are
still able to hold their own side by
side with the Anatolia, Cassaba and
Alden railways. Hundreds of camels
pass over the caravan bridge into the
city of Smyrna every day, and in the
market place in front of the mosque Of
Mohammed at ConstantinOple many
camels may still be seen.-Phnadelphi
Ledger.

ALWAYS Blame the Woman.

Milwaukee Journal: Man, noble,
chivalric man, never fails in pinch to
put on the shoulders of woman the
responsibility for his SHINING. The
custom is as old as the world.
Listen to DR.. Allen McLane Hamil-
ton, the famous alienist, who stands 6
feet 2 in his stockings, is broad of
shoulder, always polite of manner, and
can make as graceful bow in lady
parlor as any gentleman of the day
He says wives are responsible for the
drunkenness of their husbands. He
says this publicly: Here are his own
words:
1T has been my experience that bad
cooking and the use OF poor and in
digestible food have led many men to
the habitual use of drink.
This, of course, means that if wives
would feed their husbands properly
they would not crave the stimulation
which comes from beer and whisky.
That there are some women whose
cooking drives their husbands to drink
is probably true, but, really, DR.. Ham
iltOn, is this your honest opinion OF any
goodly number of them? You are a
man of the world and of wide expert
ence. You have seen the inside of the
common barroom. You have observed
the conduct of men in these places. Do
you believe that many of them hang
over the bar of evenings, indulginS IN
small talk with their kind and drinking
TO excess to avoid eating their wives
poor food? You have seen them loiter-
ing in these places for hours after sup
per time eating stale bread, raw cab
bage, smelly cheese and soft, hot pickles
at the free lunch counter, and you must
have know that their wives had hot
suppers in the ovens at home.
You, of course, want to take into con-
sideration the fact that women can not
make inviting or digestible dishes with
out good materials, and if you Will con-
slider the subject from a woman point
Of view you will find that the average
drunkard's wife has little money with
which to buy good or digestible food.

KEEP THE WATER PURE.

The Madison Democrat is vigorously
protesting against the proposal Of the
board Of water commissioners Of that
city to provide intakes from the lakes 50
as to obtain a greater supply Of water
for the water works system in cases of
fires. The Democrat denounces the
proposal as intolerable folly, and rightly
holds that it would be a thousand times
better that money be expended freely in
more artesian wells and more engines
and pumps or even in the construction
of an Independent system Of water sup
ply for fire protection.
