Mt. STERLING COLLEGIATE
INSTITUTE.

Deeply regretting the loss to the
educational interests of our city
by the death of Prof. Cord, we
are pleased to state that his son,
Robert |. Cord, will succeed to
the management and personal su-
pervision of the institution. AL
though he is a young man, 20
years old, he comes to the respon-
sible position college trained,
strong, resolute and willing. He
graduated under the teaching of
his father and mother, and knows
his fathers methods and plans:
then spent four years at Transyl-
vania University, taking the A..
b. degree; highly endorsed he &C
cepted the duties of Principal in
our city school, where he was
doing faithful service. Safisfac-
tory arrangements have been made
whereby all interests in both
schools will be cared for.
We predict for him a successful
administration aided by his corps
of competent teachers and with
the cooperation of a sympathetic
community.

Bishop Whitehead, of the Prot
estant Episcopal Church. has pre-
pared a prayer which he asks ev-
erybody to use in praying for bet
ter conditions in Pittsburg. 1t is
too late to pray now. The round
up of the guilty and their proper
punishment seem the only things
left now for that graft-ridden city.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
has issued an order that no more
women stenographers shall be en-
ployed, because results show they
do thirty per cent. less work and
are very much less accurate than
men,"
We have never employed stem
ographer. Many firms who have
thus used women will not accept
this decision as expressive of their
views.

HORSES AND AUTOS.

Horses are a staid institution in
this country, and evidently in the
great transformation of our day
autos Have come to stay. There
should be no friction or shooting
or fright between drivers of autos
and other conveyances and horse
back riders. Keep cool, ladies
and gentlemen, and watch your
tempers, horses and guns, and
have some consideration for rights,
feelings and interests of other
folks. No doubt there have been
some panicy stricken people who
meet autos. No doubt there been
some hasty, self-willed and impu-
dent drivers of autos. All must
be taught a lesson. The next
generation of horses and folks will
have too much sense to get scared
at an auto, or try to run over foot
men and non-auto travellers. We
hope nobody will be killed by
autos or because of auto drivers.
Beware.

generous expenditure of money by
the thousands of women of the
Christian church through their
executive board. Great discour-
agement beset the work by reason
of small receipts and the additioHh
loss and inconvenience resulting
from the burning of two dormf.
tories. For IL years that combi-
nation of worthless INCLUDING MD
Cord continued Order came
from chaos, strength from weaH-
ness, hope from ydiscouragement.
Too much can not be said in be-
half of the Christian Womanss
Board of Missions. They are the
servants of the Lord; tower Of
light and strength.
Under the expanding genius
and directing power of Prof. Cord
the school was making great
strides. Education had been lifted
to a higher plane, new tastes CT
ated, new ideals begotten, the
school facilities, buildings, curr;-
culum, etc., enlarged. Students
or graduates from Hazel Green
Academy were in demand as teach
ers. Although Prof, Cord left
Hazel Green in the summer of
1906 to locate in our city, and al
though the Academy has continued
to expand into larger and larger
spheres of usefulness. yet indis-
solubly connected with the name
and work of the G. w. B. M. at
Hazel Green is the name and work
of VIM. H. Cord.
To be enthroned in the grateful
memories and hearts of hundreds
of young people, a moulding pow
er in their lives, is a monument
more precious and enduring than
tablets of bronze and shafts of
marble. He laid broad, deep and
we'll the foundation upon which
glorious superstructure was build
ing. sl
Mt. Sterling Collegiate Insti-
tute opened in September 1906,
after only two weeks for forma-
ton of plans and details with about
20 pupils during the first few
weeks. The only available build
ing was Anticipated and wholly in<
adequate. The school continued
to grow. Before third year was
finished new up to date building
and grounds was declared a ne
cessity. The fourth year was
opened in that attractive frame in
spacious lawn on w. Holt Ave.
The anticipated and longed for
was reality. The enrolment is
now 1856, with corps of six teach
ers. In addition to school duties
he was serving his third year as
pastor of the Somerset Christian
church, preaching there on every
Lords day, greatly beloved by his
congregation.
When success was assured. and
fields for greater service as an e6-
ucator were opening, his career is
suddenly closed. His death is a
public loss.
For nearly twenty years ttle
writer has known him, frequently
visited and talked to his school
and seen his transforming power.
Now we extend to his wife and
family our sympathy and assur-
ances of cooperation and kindly
interest in the maintenance and
further development of the in
stition founded in our midst.

morning. Judge Young and At
torney White were ready to repre-
sent the Commonwealth, ,.... $50.
Judge Young called special at
tention to the reported prevalent
and growing habit of persons old
and young who swear falsely be-
fore the grand jury when ques-
toned relative to various offenses;
such a condition is deplorable. He
thought that the indictment and
punishment of one such would be
very beneficial to public morals.
The grand jury can easily detect
such classifying. To be guilty
ought to bring humiliation; to be
caught at it is also rather worry
ing to tender consciences.
The Judge thought that the man
who recklessly shoots on the high
way is the meanest kind of mean
man and needs something.
He told of rumors round about
that bows had bought liquor and
asked a thorough investigation.
The following compose the
juries:

SUDDEN DEATH
Comes to Prof. VIM. II. C0rd--hiS
Work As An Educator.

Our community was shocked
and grieved when on Friday morn
ing the news flashed over the town
that Prof. VIM. H. Cord, presi-
dent OF the Mt. Sterling Collegiate
Institute, had died suddenly in
the presence of his pupils.
Arbor Day was to be observed
in the afternoon, for which plans
had been made. The entire school
had assembled in the chapel. At
1920 o'clock he stood before
them on the rostrum giving final
instruction about the work to be
accomplished. He paused and re-
marked that he was feeling sick.
Without another word he fell for
ward dead. Who can forget his
fine physique, commanding per-
sonality and apparently 81 robust
health? Physically, intellectually
and religiouslv he was a man
among men, only in his prime,
with most favorable prospects for
increased labor, honor and useful
ness.
He rests from his labors and his
works do follow him.
Prof. Cord was born in Mason
county, KY, November 6, 1854.
and died in Mt. Sterling, KY,
April 8, 1910, hence was in his
46th year. He married Miss
Edith Ireland, of Owenton, KY,
in June, 1887. They have three
children, Robert, aged about 90,
principal of the Mt. Sterling
Public Graded Schol; Raymond.
in his 9th year, and William, in
his 9Th.
The funeral service was held at
the Christian Church. in this city,
on Sunday afternoon. The devo-
tional service was led by the wri-
ter, B. w. Trimble, who briefly
reviewed Prof. Cords educational
and religious work for 16 years
as principal of the G. w. B. NJ.
school at Hazel Green. Rev. H.
d. Clark followed with a glowing
yet deserved tribute to the de-
ceased as teacher, preacher and
honored citizen.
The entire seating and standing
capacity of the building was taxed
and many thronged the windows.
The following citizens were named
as pall-bearers:

Young.
Floral offerings by his school,
the 9th grade of the Public School,
Somerset Christian church and
friends at Hazel Green and many
individuals here and elsewhere at
tested somewhat of the esteem in
which he was held. Center aisles
were reserved for the pupils of his
school (abOut 1859. They also
formed a procession to the Genet
cry. During this score of years a
larger procession has not followed
to Machpelah an hOnored citizen.
AS beautiful flowers covered
him over, his pupils passed by,
each dropping a tulip plucked
from the flower beds at the Insti-
tute. Tears dimmed many eyes,
and heart signs told of the loss of
a dear friend, a public benefactOr,
an honored citizen, a christian
gentleman.
Under the fostering care of the
Christian WOman's Board of Mis-
sions, Prof. Cord went to Hazel

| DO all things without murmurings and
Observation-Disclosures u:14.
If this is good advice, given by St
Paul to the Romans living in Philippi
were accepted and followed by the
people of today the endless affairs OF
life would move along more rapidly,
more smoothly and with much better
advantage and satisfaction to all con-
cerned in them. Not only that. but
great strides would be made towards
the realization of true happiness by
every one.
1t is too often the case these days,
just as it evidently was in the days of
Paul and the Philippians. shat men
and women do not go at their allotted
tasks without grumbling more or less
about them. And the more they muir
muir the harder it is for them to ac-
complish their labors. The dissatis-
fled man is not going to do such good
work, so much of It or gain such large
rewards in the end as the man who
attacks his job willingly. The grumbler
is always at the bottom Of the heap,
and he generally keeps on with his
grumblings until he is down and out
entirely.
As Paul points out. classed with the
grumbler as an undesirable citizen is
the disputer. And surely the world of
today is filled with a large number Of
this gentry. The time they waste in
disputing about everything under the
sun and beyond It would be sufficient
for the solution of many questions,
simple or complex, about which they
are continually wrangling. Attention
is attracted for the time being by the
disputers, the takers, but they always
have to stand aside eventually for the
individuals who are of a mind to talk
and dispute less and get to work and
do. Arguments, discussions on the
pros and cons OF all matters OF mo-
ment, are valuable and have beneficial
many people do nothing but argue and
dispute. They never take so much as
a day off from such activities and get
down to the business of doing the tasks
at hand. And then when some one else
has done them, the disputers have even
more fault to find than ever because
they were not done their way
Much more progress would be made
towards better things If the profess
sionaI grumblers and disputers could
be segregated and allowed to fight out
their differences amongst themselves.
Things are only accomplished by get
ting to work at them as they are, tack
ling them with an honest vim. and
their accomplishment paves the way
for their improvement
