And keep on a tryin' to smile;
Just keep on a singin',
A trustin' an cingin'

An a time when things come right.
Just keep on believin
An hiding all your grievin'
An keep on a tryin' to cheer.
Just keep on a prayin'
A lovin' and sayn'

An the tide goes out,
An the dark will all turn bright;
There's a rest from the load
An an end to the road,
An place where things come right.

Kellre, one of the best known Con
federates in Central Kentucky, today
comes out in the Lexington Leader in
a card in which he calls on Confed-

in an insult to every veteran, to their
wives and their families:
The cord says:

was announced that Warren and
Daviesss counties are being con-
sidercd for the proposed trial of
the system. Such "a movement
according TO the announcement
would tend to bring attention to
the idea and those who launched
the project believe it will encour-
age the adoption of the system
throughout the state. Mr..
Veteran has been advocating
the consolidated schools for sew
eral years.
Opportunity for the establish
ment of the system has been af-
forded by the State Legislature
in the bonding law enacted at
the last session, authorizing the
voters of any county to allow the
issuance of county bonds in a
sum not exceeding $500, 600 for
building schools.
In Warren county, it is point
ed out. it would be advisable to
erect a consolidated school at a
central location in each of four
districts, the building costing
between $500 and So, 600.
Grade courses in the common
schools and a four year high
school course, it is explained,
would constitute the period of
study with ample accommoda'
tons for pupils in each division.

Deathless Fame.

condemned in its day and genera

fight for its life. Error once set
in motion continues indefinitely,
unless blocked by a stronger force
and the old methods of thinking
and doing will always remain un-
less some one invents new and
better wav and then lives and
dies for it. And the reason men
oppose progress is not that they
hate progress, but that thev love
inertia.
