GOOD NEWS FROM PlNEVlIE

Pineyille is thriving little city,
the County Seat of Bell County,
a. the poin, where the Cumberland
River break through the Pine Mouh-
tains. 1t /. noted for its splendid
scenery and has many points of eX-
ccllence.
A thing that has long marred what
it'll tina, reception would have been
a beautiful town is the fact that
cattle have been allowed to roam up
and down the streets, on vacant lots
and could frequently be seen on the
concrete pavements.
At length and at last, though fac
ing tremendous opposition from the
owners, the city council has taken
action and after April 1st the cows
are to be taken off OF the streets.
Possibly this action could not have
pe,n taken had not the Continental
Coal Corporation rendered the free
use of 100 acres of land lying on Pine
Mountain for grazing purposes.

tary and more healthlul.

BERTHA 3. JOHNSTON

On Saturday morning, Jan. 18th,
Bertha b. Johnston, aged 10 years
and 10 months, daughter of Mr.. ani
Mrs. Granyill Johnston. Of col Clevo-
land Ave. Hamilton. o., passed into
the realms of the Beyond. She was u
victim Of the dreaded white plague.
Miss Johnston was a member ~
the First Baptist church in Hamil-
ton and had been regular In atten-
dance until her sickness confined her
in the home. She bore her suffering
for two years, patiently and gently
and then. when the bitter cold OF
mid-winters froZe all the laughing
streams, and the snow covered the
earth as with white shroud, this
lovely flower faded. Then fell the
frost. the clear cold frost as falls
the plague on men," and the bright
ness OF her smile was gone from the
D. loved home The dying testimony
was that ali was we'll.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnston had both
lost their fathers, at about the same
time. two weeks previous to their
daughters death and then the follow
ing week Mrs. Johnson received a
telegram announcing her mother
death near High Bridge, Ky. They
formerly lived in jackson County.
Mrs. Johnston's maiden name was
Holcomb. Mr. Johnstou's father, Mr.
Robert Johns ton, died in Bcrea only
q few weeks ago.

mourn the loss OF 80 many OF its deaI
ones in so short time. Their grief
