The Clay City times. [volume] (Clay City, Ky.) 1901-current, 1911-01-05
Volume XVI.

With this issue the Times en-
tiers its sixteenth volume, having
rounded out an existence of fif-
teen.years. The paper is not
what we would like to make, but
it seeems the best to possibly
make and keep a going in small
town and county like Clay City
and Pow ell. In the whole coun-
ty there are but 1,348 polls and
the Times had a subscription list
equal to more than half this num-
Der, so when we take into cOnsid-
Grafton the small territory to
work in, we think that we should
not be discouraged as we cannot
alter these conditions and circum-
stances. We hope to see bust
ness with the Times this year an
improvement over what it was in
1910, but it remains with our sub.
scribers, those who should be on
our list and our advertising pa
irons to make this possible. If
the public will give us more
generous patronage, we will make
a most liberal Improvement in
the paper during the present
year.

Denies Death Notice.

Two weeks ago the Times pub
llshed an account of the death of
Charles Walters in Kansas City,
being we thought reliably in
formed. Mr.. W. F. Clark and
Mr.. Joe Vaughn, both old Pow

Kansas City and deny the report.
Upon luther inquiry we learn
that .tiy Walters died in Mis-
sour ssSsKansas CITY Jb6bgh

ACADEMY NOTES.
Annual Reception by The Senior
Glass and a. Play.

The Senior class of the Academy
gave their annual reception in
Chapel hall, Friday evening, Nov.
"a. The hall was very prettily deco
rated in oriental effect. Around the
hall were Japanese lanterns, lighted
by electric lights; streamers from
all parts of the room met on large
japanese umbrella, suspended in the
middle of the room, and wistaria and
vines were wound throughout all.
On the walls were Japanese umbrel-
las and calendars while two cosy
corners, one in the class colors, gold
and black, covered with flowers, and
the other in black, covered with red
peonies, helped to add to their pref
tiness of the decorations. The ladies'
orchestra furnished music and Miss
es Gamme1 and Mandigo, 1915,
served punch under a large japanese
umbrella in the corner of the room.
A very pleasing play was presented
by the following cast: Fritz Often
hotter, rolling stone, Walter Cleve-
land; Lizah Spudtater, typical
farmer, Harold Gammel1; FWeddie
Topcoat, chappie out for lark,
Lindol French; DR.. Burton, ply

BOOKER Il. WASHINGTON HERE.
Large Audience Heard Noted Negro
Leader Speak at The Colonial.

The lecture at The Colonial on
Thursday evening by Booker T.
Washington under the auspices of
the Y M. G. A. was attended by a
fair crowd and all report it one of
the best things heard here in a long
time. Not only does it seem re-
markable to a northerner, who has
been too. far from the cotton belt to
realize the changes in the status of
the negro since the days of the Civil
War, that a colored man could do
and say the things which Mr.. Wash
ington does, but Mr.. Washington's
own outlook for the future of his
colored brethren is so optimistic that
everyone who hears him becomes
equally hopeful for them. Mr..
Washington is an easy speaker and
his story of the work done at Tus-
kegee University is so interspersed
with anecdotes and practical appli-
cations that his hearers never be-
come weary. He not only tells what
has been done and what is being
done today, in the brightest possible
manner, but he looks into the future
with faith that all will ultimately be
we'll. The school is only 20 years
old and the work which it is doing
is largely of practical nature. This
was Mr.. Washington's second ap-
pearance in st. Johnsbury and all
who have heard him either time hope
that he will lecture here many more
times.

Physical Culture Notes.

Miss Hudson's adult class in ply
steal culture had it's initial lesson
last Thursday afternoon at the
Woman's club house. The lesson
related chiefly to the freeing of the
body-that is, getting rid of stiff
ness and angularity.
One thing was taken special note
of by the pupils when Miss Hudson
said:
"Housework, while exercise, is
not physical culture-if so, why
does it wear and fatigue the house
Wife?"
Another note was made by all in
the class note book to wit: 1.-THE
abdomen has its place and if re-
lated to the brain as 1 have told you,
why allow it to trangress- why low
er those sacred internal organs,
when proper carriage uplifts them
and gives you health and something
more vitality?
