ACT WISELY
And Put Your Home Newspaper on
Firm Basis.

Everyone should take great
pride in their home newspaper.
It reflects the sentiments of the
people among whom you associ-
ate. 1t speaks out for the up
building of of your community
and reflects the intelligence of
your citizenship abroad. A town
is generally known by the news
paper it has and the people of a
community are judged by the
appearance of it's local publica-
tons. Help to make your home
newspaper what it should be.
Act wisely and quickly and make
it reliable and independent and
the best, and in doing this, you
are adding to your own reputa-
ton and standing at distance.

The Williamson Play House Under
going Thorough Change.
A FEW COMPARISONS

The Williamson Opera House
has changed manage ment and is
being put in the best condition
for the approaching season and
all those things done which will
mkae it the favorite resort for
the best people in Williamson.
The best shows are being enga-
ged, seats are being made more
comfortable and in every way are
being made to bring this large
play house up to the standard
of the best. People of William
son should want the best in the
show line and it is believed that
they will appreciate the effort
being made to improve their best
place of amusement and place it
on a higher plane. It is to be
made place of delight and pleas

tons which will appear here will
be The Man On The Box, .

Contentment Should be Here.

There can be no reason for
discontentment in this favored
section. The surroundings are
most pleasant and the advantages
are superior to any other loca-
ton we know. We speak from
experience in this matter and
have found that there is no place
like Williamson as a place of con-
tentment and desirable resi-
dence. One of the great advan-
tages of residence here us the
rapid growth of the city. If you
invest your money in Williamson
realty, all you have to do is to
wait and watch it increase in
value. Men have grown rich
here by such Investment and
anyone can do the same. 1t is
the prosperity of our city and re-
glon which creates thatscontent-
ment among our citizenship
which is hard to find in other To-

JAMES DESKINS DEAD.
A Good Man and Most Excellent
Kentucky Gentleman.

Born in what is now known as
Martin county, near Inez., on
March 3, 1923, hence be was So
years old last March. He de-.
parted this life on last SUNDAY.
June the 18th, at the home of his
son, William Deskins, near Bor-
derland. His wife died Is years
ago, there having been four chill
dren from their union, three of
whom are living and are promi-
nent, reputable and influential
citizens: The burial services
were conducted under the bran
ches and the shade of great oak
tree planted by Mr.. Deskins 40
odd years ago. An acorn was
brought from Indiana about
century ago. 1t was planted in
Floyd county and grew into a
splendid tree. Mr.. Deskins' Sis
ter. who was present at the fun
eral, brought an acorn from that
tree over forty years ago, She
handed it to him, then in the.
meridian of his life, he stood on
the spot where now a great oak
is, with that oak in his hand as
an acorn, he planted it, and un-
der the shades of its mighty
limbs his last remains were
placed, while message of Gods
love and mercy came to his
friends and relatives from the
lips Of Evangelist r. B. Neal, of
Pikeville, KY, minister of the
Christian Church. The large
gathering was made up of Ken
tuckians and West Virginians
who were his friends. Never was
funeral more impressive and
now the grave is closed on the
beautiful mound in front of his
old home, he will sleep until the
voice that called Lazarus will
break the bars of his tomb and
give him back to his friends and
relatives clothed with incorrupt-
Utility and immortal life. Peace
to his spirit for be was good
man and those near to him should
console themselves in the reflec-
ton that he has gone to hap
pier sphere.

A Western Visitor.

Mr.. B. Reed, of Arizona, who
has been spending several weeks
in williamson, admiring our up
PARALLEL scenery and attending
to some business matters, left on
Monday, Mr.. S. ID. Stokes going
with him as far as Huntington.
Mr.. Reed, if one may Judge from
his conversation, heartily APP
proves of Williamson and Will
liamsonians. He says that all
we lack is copper mines and good
rich cream. If we had these we
would be in a better position to
compete with the wild and wooley
west, than which no country
higher stands in the estimation
of Mr.. Reed. Mr. Reed informs
us that he is going directly back
to Arizona, by way of Hunting
ton, Washington, d. c., New
York City, Newark, N. f., and
Niagara Falls. There Just isn't
anything these Western folks
can't do.

THE NEW LINOTYRE,
Three Magazines With All Modern
Improvements.

Mr.. Walter II. Savory, of the
Merganthaler Linotype Com
pany, New York, was in the city
yesterday arranging for our new
Linotype which is to be placed
in this Office. 1t is one of the
most complete machines ever
produced BY this company and
is complete in every detail. 1t
will cost $4,000 and has three
magazines which can be operated
and changed to any face Of type
without the operator moving
his seat. It is the best machine
made and has many advantages
and places Williamson to the
fore front in the matter of OBJ
tanning the best results in legal
printing and publicity business.
We feel that such advances as
this will be good for our town.

Killed..

Mr.. John Smith, who was an
engineer at the saw mill of Mr..
York, at Hatfield, in Kentucky,
near this city, was killed last
by a cut off saw. He
was good and trusty man and
his nntimely death is to be de-
plored.
God has taken him home to rest,
His cares on earth are done;
And in that city Of the blest,
Was gladly welcomed home.
His friends and family wished him
stay,
And were loath with him to part,
But the angels loved him more than
they,
So God stilled his beating heart.
The golden gates were opened,
The angels said, come on. /"
And with farewell not spoken,
He calmly entered home.
And there amid the joyful throng
OF friends who have gone before,
He stands and beckons us along
To the entrance Of that open door.

city as the best town on earth to
its size. 1t surely does add to
your dignity and pride to be a

most perfect town in these re-
spects and is growing better all
the time.
