Don't Burn Your cornstal'<s.

The old practice Of burning corn
stalks in the field is still practlced IN
some localities, and it's wastefulness
does not seem to be understood. Wn1le
stalks may have but little value as
manure, they have good deal IN the
production OF humus. and farming on
land devoid Of humus is a heartbreak-
ing proposition. The cutting and ploW-
ing under Of the stalks involve no more
/ labor than do the breaking and burn
ING. while the former process saves all
AZ their value to the land. Ashes from
I cornstalks do not make good manure.

Handsome Show Window.

Mr. l.. L. Eubank, with the Reed
Hardware Co., who is an artistic show
window dresser, has now on display a
representation of millinery goods made
of materials and articles kept in hard
ware store. All the late style hats
are on exhibition. and we doubt if there
is a milliner in this town who could
take her goods and make more attrac-
tive display. The window is drawing
card, many ladies calling to see it. In
the window can be found late style hats
made of rope and minnow seins. The
dishpan and the scoop hat is there,
all shapes being represented. Those
who have not called should make it
convenient to see this very attractive
window, dressed by a gentleman who
has become an ATTEST in his special line
of work.

County Sunday School Convention.

The Adair County Sunday School
Convention was held at the Fair grounds
Saturday, July %. The attendance was
fair, the day ideal, the program good
and the dinner excellent. Everybody
present seemed to enjoy the day as it
had the aspect of semi picnic occasion.
The program, as it appeared in The
News, was carried out, except that a
number of the participants were alb
sent. This was notably true of the lay
speakers, the preachers all being pres
ent- The speeches were all good and
enthusiastically delivered In the abb
sence of the regular chairman, Mr.. F.
r. Winfrey, Gov. Hindman was chosen
to preside, and after his own admirable
fashion, kept the interest of the con-
vention from tagging until the bene-
diction was rendered.
The Rev. z. T. Williams was elected
president for the ensuing year, while
Mr.. j. w. Turner was reelected Secre-
tary. 1t was ordered that the president
and secretary should appoint a repre-
sentation from each magisterial district
of the county to act in the capacity of
Vice Presidents. If all signs do not
fail there will be very, very largely
attended convention in 1911.

pared with last year, the school per

the same as last year, which was the

A Timely Warning.

The disease known as Pellagra, that
has been scourging the Southern States,
for several years. has at last reached
Kentucky. There is one case at Madi-
sonville, and one at Perryville. AS a
Waterman upon the watch tower of the
public health, | feel it my duty to call
attention Of the people to this disease.
Not very much is known about it. We
know it kills a greet many people, we
know that it is very obscure, and we
know very little as to its cause symp-
tons or its treatment. 1t is said to be
caused by eating corn-bread made from
damaged or unwholesome corn. 1t &C.
ours more frequently among the color
ed, than the white people, because the
colored citizens eat more corn-bread
than do the whites. 1t is disease that
abounds in filth: Therefore;
Clean the town, clean your premises,
clean your back yards, clean your stable
lots. clean your cellars, clean your
prlvles, clean your allies, clean your
streets, clean your school lots, clean
everything, everywhere.
Perryville is only one County removed
from Adair, and it may strike us next.
If it comes will meet it and give you
timely warning. Done by order of the
Board of Health of Adair County.
