Such loyalty as is manifested in the letters
from President Taft to former Secretary of In
terror Richard Achilles Ballinger is good to looh
upon. There is something refreshing and in
spring about this devotion, trust, confidence
and faith. II is cheering to know that the
President Of the United States can find time
from his Official duties to pen missive of this
tenor 10 a man in whom he believes, and that
all that has been said about the whilom trus-
tee Of the peoples interest has made no impress

selected for cabinet portfolio had been hound.

1t cannot be denied that an unprecedented op.

BUILDING INSPECTOR BECK STAYS.

Richmond is TO be congratulated on the reten-
ton of Building Inspector Beck

traction company served the double purpose of
demonstrating the high estimate placed upon
his worth by a corporation willing to intrust
perhaps its most important business to his care

A Few Words to Russell County
Friends.

Circuit Court begins in Jamestown
next Monday, and as usual, Mr.. j. E.
Murrell, of this office, will be seen on
the square in the interest of the News.
For thirteen years these visits have
been made, never missing a court, and
for thirteen years the people of Russell
county have responded and stood by
the best interest of this office in that
manner that does not fail of hearty ap-
probation on our part. During all
that time the News has extended every
courtesy to Russell county and its in
terests, as it has to Adair county, and
we doubt whether there are two other
counties in the State more closely allied
in common interests, social, business
and educational Again, there is no
other section of the country that has
more promptly met its obligations to
this Office, which is just compliment
to the many who give US patronage.
As the past has been, we hope to
make our future service even better.
and trust that the common ties be-
tween the good people of the two coun-
ties will continue to strengthen Mr..
Murrell is not unmindful or unappreci-
alive of the many invitations to visit
friends in the country, and his failure to
do so results from the nature of his
business which keeps him in James
town and Russell Springs while in the
county.
