Don't Let the Light of Your Lift
Go out.

Don't let the light of your life go out
Though the flame seems burning low,
Just trim up the wick and add more
oil
And brighter the light will glow.
Don't let the light of your life go out
When dark clouds obscure the sun,
They sono will lift and reveal the rift
Or will pass off one by one.
Don't let the light of your life go out
Though Affections do arise:
There's never a pain that hides no
gain
For the man who only tries.
Don't let the light of your life go out
With its song minor strain,
Jog it along and the major tone
Will blend with the music again.
Don't let the light of your life 60 out:
There's never cup of rue
So bitter to sup but in the cup
Is measure of sweetness too.
Don't let the light of your life go out
When the tempests do arise.
Just trim up the wick and add more
oil,
There's way for the man who tries.

aister, in which relations she was faith

The Greensbure Loose Leaf Mark.
et.

A great many farmers of Adair
county are interested in the Loose
Leaf Tobacco House which has been
established at Greensburg, and which
had its first public sale Thursday of
last week. There were buyers present
from Louisville and from other points
in Kentucky, and during the day the
house presented a lively scene, bidd-
ing being spirited. There were
buyers for every geade of tobacco,
hence there is no doubt but there will
be demand for every quality of the
weed shipped to this house.
Adair, Russell, Taylor, Larue, Met
calfe and Green counties were all rep
resented at the sale, and about $1,000
pounds of tobacco were sold at prices
ranging from $40 to S16.75.
This sale demonstrates that at all
future sales there will be a full corps
of buyers, including the American
Tobacco Company, exporters, differ
ent manufactures and SPECTATORS.
1t was freely admitted by tobacco men
from Louisville that the Greensburg
market was fully up to that of the
Falls City; there was no shipping
margin.
The crowd who attended tile sa,e
and who were in GreenSburg was eSti-
mated at three thousand
The sales will again open as soon as
there is a general season for strip
ing and handling.

No Fees for SheriffS From School
Tax.

Suit probably will be instituted
against county Sheriifs who have
been taking fees out of school taxes
collected by them. Inspectors have
reported to the Department Of Educa-
ton that this practice is not uncom-
mon and superintendent Barksdale
HAMLET believes several thousands of
dollars can be recovered for the use of
the State school fund. The sheriff is
entitled to 10 per cent, Of the first
$1,000 he collects and per cent.o the
balance; but the Court of Appeals has
held that none of this may come Off
the school tax, which must be turned
in intact, and the Sheriff must take
his fee out of the county funds. 1t is
reported that ia some counties the
school fund is being made the goat"
and the Sherilfs are taking all of the
first TO per cent. out of it, the county
fund profiting thereby.

This paper understands, from Ell
Quiry, that many farmers in Adair
county use only from seyenty-fve to
one hundred pounds Of fertilizer to
the acre for corn. y few nights ago
we overheard some farmers, at the
Hancock Hotel, who live in Western
Kentucky, discussing corn growing
telling how many barrels were grow
to the acre i'm their section, which was
fully double the yield here. "EIow is
1T done?" some one asked. by using
fertilizers. Our farmers in Western
uXentucky use two hundred pQunSs to
the acre, and if it was done here you
would see a great difference in the
production"

Road Building.

Mr.. J. n. Coffey, County Road En-
gineer, has just returned from Ca
sey's Creek and Pelleyton. His object
in visiting these localities was to look
after the public road conditions.
Starting from Columbia he found the
road only passible until he reached the
section over which Mr. Hardin Gun
diff is the Overseer. Mr.. Coffey states
that Mr.. Cundiff has the road under
bis charge in fine shape. The next
section of road after leaving Mr.. Gun
diff took him to the Plum Point
Bridge, and is in fairly good condition,
but not so well worked and looked af-
ter as that under Mr.. Cundiff.
After crossing the Watson Bridge,
he found a section of road in very bad
condition. The Overseer, does not
know who lie is, seems to have been
resting on his hoe.
The next piece of road was that UNI
der charge of Mr.. Tom McDermont.
He found this piece in fine condition,
the oyerseer evidently being interest
ed in lettering the condition Of our
public highways.
Leaving Mr.. McDermOnt he went to
PellytOn via Dunbar hill. On this
hill the county spent five hundred
dollars, but since that expenditure it
has be EN- neglected. There are wash
outs, making it almost impossible.
There is section Of road in this i'm
mediate locality that seems to have
been overlooked entirely by the over
seer.
Leaving this locality he went to
Pellyton, and Ell route found the best
piece of road in the county, showing
that the Oyerseer is enterprising. At
Pellyton he found every body deeply
interested in road building, and ready
to do their part. On this side of the
river, Little Cake precincte he found
the road under charge of Josh Beard,
in good shape. The road under Jim
McQueary he found in excellent con.
dition, showing Mr.. McQueary to be
an intelligent worker a man who un-
derstands how to use tools and to soc
that they are used by men in his iur-
isdiction.
He does not know who the overseer
is on the next section, on his return
to Columbia, but he carefully survey.
ed it, and is of the opinion that the
overSeer is a close relative to Rip Van
Wrinkle, who it will be remembered,
slept for twenty years, finding upon
awaking, that his house and other
effects had tumbled down.
From RubertS store to the Green
River Bridge the road IS almost i'm
passable. y little work would do in
ca)culable good here, and the overseel
should wake up.
I Mr.. CotTey'S conclusion is this: lie
found where the overseerS were inter
ested in lettering the condition oil
the highways, men who understand
road building, ditching, etc., gooC
travel is the result. Where the road,
have been neglected, they were almost
impossible. He further states that
the trip to the upper end of the coun
/ ty has convinced him that the peopl,
can have good roads if they want
them. Good roads enhance the value
of homes, hence every farmer in AdaiI
county should become interested anC
