On the first page of this issue We
give "wriue up" of the Clay City
National Bank. We do this be-
cause this institution is so deserv-
ing and is one of the leading enter
prises. Not only of Powell coun-
ty, but of Eastern Kentucky as
well. 1t is an Institution in which
We feel justly proud, and one
which if Clay City had more the
like Of in various other lines OF
business would be the cause of
much more important city both be.
cause of siren 9Th financially and
the meeting of the country's de-
mands in the most exacting partic-
ulars. No solvent and persevering
individual has to 60 from home to
get the very best banking accommo.
dations. and were it only that way
in other buslnes, what a prosperous
city We would have.
There are however other concerns
here just as important in their line
and it is our intention 20 give them
a write-up as our space will admit.
as we like to speak of the good
things we have, and think less a.
bout the unSavory kind.
We are reproducing the state.
ment aboya referred to in this issue
nnd on this page that our readers
may read and see for themselves

Every popular principle in the
Republican party today is an
idea of one man and that mans
idea being adopted by the Re-
publican party put them into Of
fee in 1908, and the rejection of
these ideas put them out in 1910.
That man is none other than the
greatest stateman in the United
States today if he cannot be e.
lected President though his
principles of good government
are idolized-W. j. Bryan.

that is why we would like to see

than any other man in the party
but that's all right, we would
rather beat a good man with a

to beat a sorry man any day.

If this company is merely doing a

other concern DESTROYS OF establish

IN MEMO RAM.

Miss Theodosia Ernest Carpenter
daughter of MIR. George L. and Lii
lie Carpenter (deceased), was born
April 3 1895. She departed this life
November 2s, 1911. Theodosia was
reared by her aunt, Miss Hattie Car
penter, who throughout Theodosias
long illness watched over her with
the tenderest care. Our dear little
friend died at the early age OF six
teen years. after suffering patiently
many months and even years. There
remains to cherish her memory her
father, her aunt, her only brother,
Billy Carpenter, and other relatives
as well as host OF friends.
Theodosia professed faith in Christ
within Rev. Andrew Turkington's pas
torate of Hickman Baptist church
and Ill health prevented her uniting
with the church. She was always
interested in the Sunday School. Let
II be said that she was patient dur
ing all the weary months OF pain ana
that she bore her Affections with the
fortitude OF a true christian. Theo-
dosh was ever bright and cheerful.
On Friday, December LIST, funeral
services we're conducted at the home
by Rev. Sturgeon Wingo. The beau
tiful flowers sent by many friends
were tokens of the esteem In which
the little sufferer was held. We buried
her in the City Cemetery-there to
await the resurrection morning. "She
is gone but not forgotten" May God
bless the sorrowing ones.
"And there shall be no might
there" Even now We believe thai
Theodosia is walking in the eterna
light that shines forth from the
Throne of God.

I. c. SURVEYORS HERE.

A surveying party composed OF sew
en- men arrived here this morning
to run lines south and east of town
When interviewed by Courier re-
porter the surveyors did not know
who they were working for. where
they were going TO survey. where
their money came from or signed
the checks. II mum" is the word,
they will have to come at usin diff
ferent way. When a fellow knows
so blame little, we feel like trying to
help him find out a few things; and
that's the reason we took the trouble
to solve one problem for them
namely that they are working for the
/. c. and getting their money from
the same source.
II this road wants to get into a
good town. they are headed right, but
there's no use coming in the backway
wearing gum shoes and a mask.
