The United States is rot the only
country in the world where the cost
OF living has advanced in recent years.
The complaint is SO great in Austria
that demand is being made that the
government take over, through an
agrarian bank, the cattle and meat
BUSINESS. It is also propo sed that a
central agency be- established with
branches in foreign countries SO as to
facilitate importation and dealing in
cattle and meat products.

The Cussing Habit.

The jackal is beastly beast; and
when it bankers for feast. it has no
use for nice fresh meat; the ALFRED
fool would rather eat some animal
that died last year; and SO the jaokal,
far and near is Stunned by self-res-
peoting brutes, and slugged with rocks
and bricks and Eoots. And men whose
language is decayed, who make pro-
family a trade, are like the jackal OF
the wild, that hunts around for things
defiled. In all your rounds you'll
never find healthy, clean and gentle
mind possessed by any son of wrath
whose language needs turkish cath.
On great occasions there's excuse for
turning ring tailed ouss words loose;
the father of his country swore at
Monmouth and then oussed some more;
that patient soul the Man OF Uz ripped
off some language rich and brown un-
til old Bildad called him down. Great
men beneath some awful stroke let
loose remarks that fairly smoke and
we forgive them az we write the
story of their deeds of might. But
little men, who swear, and swear, and
thus polute our common air, are foul
and foolish as the frogs that trumpet
in their native bogs. Walt Mason in

The coming Athena has every resource

every artery of enterprise that tends
to general advancement along the
path of progress. Consequently the
Press enters the new year with bright
hopes for the future of Athena, pledg-
ing it's very best efforts on behalf of
the city. We desire the good will and
cooperation of all, and shall strive to

himself TO many by his thoughtful

ID. A. R. CONVENTION:-The state
conference of the Daughters of the
American Revolution will meet in
Frankfort, October Goth and 9th.
Great efforts are being made by the
entertainment committee in the cap
ital city. to give the delegates the
best reception they have ever had.
The chairman of the committee is
Miss Annie Nourse. She is to be
assisted by Mrs. Gov. Wilson and
Mrs. J. G.. w. Beckham. The meet
ing will be noted for its many social
features.
GOVERNOR WILSON AT KNOX
VILLE:-Governor Wilson attended
the good roads convention at the
Appalachian Exposition at Knoxville
and was one of the prominent speak
ers. In his speech he says that
there is no use to live within five
miles of the best railroad ON earth
If you cannot get over the five miles
of road which lie between you and
the railroad. He also declared his op-
position to the method of issuing bonds
to build roads, and justified himself
in vetoing all bills of that nature
that had come up for his signature.
SHOOTING IN MORGAN:-Reports
from Canal City are to the effect
that serious fight occurred between
the Days and Nickels last Friday
night, in which j. T. Day, Jr., VIM.
Day and John Nickel were badly
wounded. 1t is feared that ]. +.
Day will not get we'll, The fight

originated in a school election last

county between ten and twelve O'Clock
on that day, and not only are the to-
bacco growers to be allowed to vote,
but all business. men of the county are

question may be decided not selfishly
by those interested in the pool. but
looking to the welfare of the entire
community.

the meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Kentucky association for
the prevention of tuberculosis in
Louisville last week, it was decided
to equip and send throughout the
state travelling exhibit which will
consist of charts and models showing
the extent of the disease and giving
directions for the prevention and
cure. Mr.. Eugene Kerner is the
executive secretary and it now be-
comes his duty to secure the funds
for the equipment of the exhibit. Mr..
Kerner is to accompany the editor
of The Citizen through Harlan Coun-
ty and part of Whitley during the
two weeks beginning October 14th
on a health campaign.
