A Good Law.

One bill which will be introduced
in the House at the next session of
the Legislature, early in the SEES
sion, and which will probably pass,
is the bill prohibiting the taking of
a drink of intoxicating liquor on a
train, and giving the conductors po-
lice power under which they will
be allowed to carry arms and make
arrests. The law, if passed, will be
one of the best on our statute
books and will be welcomed by the
travelling public. Since some of the
Kentucky towns have voted out sa-
looms travel between dry and
wet" towns has not been safe be-
cause of the drinking on the trains.
And, too, several conductors have
lost their lives in the last few years
in trying to protect the passengers.
This law has been tried in other
states and has proven a success and
there is no reason that it should
fail here. We hope our representa-
tives will take this matter up and
not rest until they have made it a
law.

MRS. SARA BORDERS.

The many friends of Mrs. Sara
Borders, wife of William Borders,
will be grieved to learn of her death
which occurred rather suddenly on
last Thursday morning. Mrs. Bor-
ders had been in poor health for
some time but up to within a day
or two OF her death appeared no
worse than usual. She had been
troubled with her heart and stom-
ach for some hours previous to her
death but upon the morning on
which her death occurred she COM
planned of pain in her left shoulder
which went to her heart and she
died within a few hours.
Mrs. Borders was one of the old
est residents of johnson county, as
we'll as one of the best and most
favorably known. She was the
daughter of Lewis Mayo, and both
ON her fathers and her husband S
side was connected with great
many of the foremost families in
Eastern Kentucky. Had she lived
until February % she would have
been rs years of age. On July 10,
1S49, she was united in marriage to
William Borders who survives her.
At the age of seven she became
connected with the Methodist church
and she lived a consistent Christian
life all through the years. All who
knew her speak lovingly and ten
derby of her exemplary life. Four
sons and two daughters survive her
all of whom were present at her
funeral except one daughter, who
being in New Orleans, La, could
not reach Paintsville in time for the
funeral.
Aunt Sara" as she was famil-
iarly called by old and young, was
noble woman of the old school of
mothers who believed that her first
duty was to her husband and her
children, and as wife and mother
she left an impress upon the COM
munity which will be as lasting as
the years for all that is noblest and
best. The entire community feels
personal loss in her death. and
all who knew her feel that they
have lost dear friend and a most
valued advisor. .... .
Her funeral occurred at the old
Borders home across the river at
the mouth of the creek. A large
crowd from the surrounding COM
munity and from Louisa and down
the river points attended. Rev. c.
A. Slaughter, pastor of her church,
conducted the service, and inter-
ment was at the Mayo burial ground
at the old Lewis Mayo homestead up
the river. ..-.-.- 49,.

CUPID GIVES UP!
A BAD JOB

TACOMA, Feb. 1S.-After taking
each other on trial for a month,
Mrs. Maud j. Butler and William
J. Butler came into court and were
divorced. A month ago they were
before Judge yesterday and after
some fatherly advice he induced
them to live with one another one
month longer, and suggested the
character of treatment each was to
give the other, saying that if they
still found each other intolerable
he would give the divorce. g.
Judge yesterday insisted that
Butler should treat his wife during
the month exactly as he did when
he wooed and won her years ago.
and Mrs. Butler was ordered to
treat Butler with tse same cOnsid-
Grafton and hover about him with
the air of subtle flattery that
girl in love evinces in the presence
of her lover
The couple promised to try the
scheme, but Cupid slept or else the
two principals failed to follow in
structions. When they appeared
in court both appeared to have
passed a miserable month.

Millions of dollars have already

With this great base American
prestige in the east will be assured,

national folly. There Is informa-

new drydock at Bremerton; the
search for new dOckage points on

dollars, is a public indication that
ships are to be maintained ON the
Pacific.
