HALF MINUTE TALKS WITH
OUR CORRESPONDENTS

Every now and then want to have
little talk with our correspondents,
not to tell you to write on one side of
of the paper only-becauss you know
that; and to always sign your name,
but to say few words to let you know
how much you are doing for the News
and how much it can do for you.
Did you notice what Mr.. Hardin, our
Lodiburg correspondent said about you
last week? He wrote "Let all of US
correspondents get a hustle on u.s." 1t
is fine to hustle for news because there
can always be found something so new
that you have never seen or heard be-
fore. Next week, hustle, keep your
eyes and ears open, and then write
down all the news you see and hear.
It is SO facinating because in so doing
you forget about yourself and you will
see what an interesting world there is
right around you.
What | wanted to say most was this
mail your letters to reach US before
Monday.-A. L. B.

HAVE SPLENDID
NEW GAS WELL
Pressure has Doubled Since the
Well was Shot With Nitro
gIycerin on Last Sat-
urday.
ANOTHER WELL TO GO DOWN

The Ohio River Gas and Oil Co.,
had the we'll on the Whitehead lot in
the West part of town shot with Nitro
glycerin on last Saturday, and the
tubing has been put in. The well has
a fine pressure, which has already
been turned into the main lines. This,
with the gas from the well on the creek
bank, will give the present consumers
all the gas they want and will almost
triple the pressure on the lines, maxi
ing the street lights much better.
We are informed by representative
of the company that another well will
be started within the next thirty days
and here's wishing success to the COM
PAW, and hoping that they will strike
it rich.

MRS. ROBERTSON
Dies at Hospital in Louisville
Last Tuesday Night Fun
eraI Held atHer Home
Near Glen Dean

The death of Mrs. Chas. Robertson,
of Glen Dean, was severe shock to her
family and friends. She died at hos
pital in Louisville last Tuesday night.
The funeral was conducted at her home
near Glen Dean by the Rev. James
Lewis. Mrs. Robertson was one of the
best known women of the county and
was greatly loved and admired. She
was a member of the Baptist church.
Besides her husband she is survived
by two daughters, Mrs. Ella Fuller and
Mrs. Arrie Work, and three sons, Chas.
Willie and Norman Robertson.
Mrs. Robertson's death caused the
deepest sorrow to her children and in
speaking of her death, one of her sons
said he felt as though her dying mes
sage to him was expressed in the fol-
lowing words:
TO MY SON
Do you know that your soul is of my
soul such part,
That it seems to be fiber and core of
my heart?
None other can pain me as you, dear
can do;
None other can please me or praise
me as you.
Remember the world will be quick with
it's blame,
If shadow or stain ever darken your
name,
"Like mother like SON. is a saying so
true,
The world will judge largely Of mother
by you.
Be yours then the task, il task it may
be.
To force the proud world to do hom-
age to me;
Be sure it will say, when its verdict
you've won,
"She reaped as she sowed," 10 this
is her son.

Compliment to Kentucky.

Gov. Woodrow Wilson, of NV Ter
sey, in speech in New York Friday
night, expressed regret that he was not
born in Kentucky. Here is what the
Governor ssid
l was born i'll Virginia, but l wish 1
had been born in kentucky. Being
born in Kentucky seems to me to be
one OF the greatest compliments that
can be paid any man. kentucky was
part of the frontier of this country and
the men of Kentucky made the foun-
dation of the Country. To-day, there
are frontiers in politics and these from
tier difficulties eau be reached in Dem
ocracy. The business of Kentucky was
to drive out the bnrary power in the
nation. This yet remains to he ac-
complIshSd in politics"
What Gov. Wilson says is true, but
just think how many fits will be thrown
by the f. +. V. S because he said it. -

Lead Creek TrestIe Completed.

The Henderson Route has completed
the rebuilding of wooden trestle in
the lower end of town across Lead
creek, which has been giving them so
much trouble, and the boarding cars
and hands left Monday. 1t will be re-
membered that this trestle gave very
little trouble until the flood of last
July washed away the stone county
bridge nearby, which had stood for 90
years. With this structure gone be.
tween it and the river, drift came down
against the piling so strong that the
trestle would not hold. This improved
and rebuilt trestle embraces a steel
span of sixty feet underneath which
there is no trestling, thus giving an
open space of sixty feet for drift to pass
through. This steel span is mounted
on heavy piling, and practically all of
the bridge is now new and safe. The
slow orders, issued to all trains near
this spot, has been withdrawn, and the
usual speed is maintained. No one in
authority seems to know whether or not
it is still the plan to change the road to
get around this creek in the spring.
Chief Engineer Wood, of the Hender-
son Route, is here with his wife for the
winter, and has been the consulting
authority on this and other work which
is being carried on in cutting down the
big hill in the "Narrows" above town.

MUST BE HONEST

Bishop Nibley Says Railroads ana
Patrons Must Cooperate for
Best Results.

That the strife and chickering's he
tween the railroads and the public
must be ended, and union of inter
ests evolved, founded on the basic
principal OF Justice for both the buy
er and seller of transportation, IL the
industry of the nation is to be saved
from vital disruption, was the declar.
alton of Bishop c. w. Nibley in an
address before the Salt Lake Trans.
portatlon club, at its monthly luncheon
given at the Louvre cafe yesterday af-
ternoon.
He said that such union was fast
coming about, despite the supposed
unfriendly attitude of the interstate
commerce commission towards the
railroads and that before many years
the relations of the railroads to the
people would be founded on business
principles with an eye to mutual ben.
eft. To suppose that so important an
industry as that of transportation
could exist permanently on any but
scientific business principles was fol-
ly, the speaker declared.
Whatever antagonism the general
public may have fostered against the
railroads in the past was the newt
able outgrowth of the old principle of
charging all that the traffic would
stand" said he. Fortunately that
principle is now obsolete in the rail
road world and the sooner 1t Is abol-
ished entirely the sooner will normal
conditions obtain in the railroad bust.
