IN MEMORY OF FATHER, REV. J.
Nj. GABLE.

Father, thou hast gone to thy
heavenly home and left US here. 1t
was sad to give thee up, yet we know
that thou art happy in the far-away
home of the soul. We can not know
thee now as thou art known. Yet so
often it seems we hear the whispers
Of thy love, so soft, so low, so sweet.
Thy footsteps yet we hear so feebly on
the floor. Fresh in our memory is the
recollection. of thy cheerful words and
loving prayers. We now must realize
all that was mortal is changed, but
our comfort is in the assurance that
the Good Shepherd, who careth for
his lambs, has taken the gentle spirit
to his heavenly home.
1t is solace to our sorrowing
hearts to know our father approached
death calmly and looked joyfully to
the bright beyond.
Soon we shall join him in that far
away home Of the soul, where no
storms ever beat on the glittering
strand while the years Of eternity roll.
Then we shall join the heavenly choir
TO part no more
One who loved him,
H. L. J.

POULTRY AND COLD STORAGE.

A demonstration car from the Food
Research Laboratory OF the United
States Department of Agriculture
has been visiting some of the Ken
lucky towns The object of the tour
is to educate farmers, country mer-
chants and others in up-to-date san
itary methods of handling poultry
and poultry products.
The experts in charge of this car
say that good eggs put in cold stor-
age will keep for nine months and
will be as fresh as new laid eggs
Dressed poultry, they say, may be
kept in cold storage for year or
slaughtered. These statements apply
more and will be as good as when
of course. to first-class products,
properly handled and stored with
due regard for cleanliness and sani-
tary, scientific refrigeration.
May be so but the old-fashion ID
hen and her product, like the old
religion, are plenty good enough

TRIRUTE.

Gallup. KY. Dec. 5th. 1912
To the Editor of the Big Sandy
News: Our neighborhood is shroud
ed in deep gloom to-day on account
OF the death of a leading citizen.
George Chapman Mcclure died To-
day at o'clock p. m. and from the
fact that his long. upright. useful,
and noble life of almost centurJ's
length was spent right in this i'm
mediate locality; and that he was a
chief factor in every enterprise
whose object was to uplift and i'm
prove the intellectual. social and
moral worth of the community; of
financial aid he distributed with a
most generous hand toward schools,
toward church, toward charity and
toward the relief and comfort OF
every one in need of assistance.
A truly great and good man has
passed from the activities OF earth
to the greater activities of The
Great Beyond for we could think
only of activities in connection with
the name OF Uncle George Mcclure,

In Uncle Georges family OF broth

and one sister were present at the
funeral,
When George was Is years oil
he joined the Methodist Episcopal
Church under passionate of Rev.
Mr.. Landrum and lived ever in ac-
cordance with the teachings of the
church. He was perfectly resigned to
the call OF the Master and passed
to his reward peacefully, being coB-
scious till the breath left him.
Rev. Mr.. Rifle, who has been an
intimate friend of the family for
80 years, conducted the funeral SER
vice, assisted by the pastor. Rev.
Trent.
The service was very impressive
and there were many tokens of
poignant GRIEF not only from rela-
tives and neighbors but the large
concourse of people who paid trib lite

hospitality and generosity has made
his home the synonym of hospital

Pikeville, KY, Dec. 13,-Since thf
contracts were let for the paving OF
the streets. a great public dissatis-
faction seems to have arisen-not
over the fact that this timely and
needed improvement will be made,
but over the method of paving it.
BY the terms Of the contract. the
debt Is not to be discharged by a
general pro rata tax. but is to be
paid for by the property owners ac-
cording to the amount of paving 70
be done in front of their property.
When this phase OF the contract be-
came generally known. a vehement
protest arose from many Of the prop
-erty holders, who, under these seem
ingly unjust terms. will be forced to
endure hardships Of an oppressive
and burdensome nature. 1t is be-
lieved that formal protest will be
entered before the equity court de-
manding that this provision of the
contract be recinded and that !.
more general system of payment by
tax be substituted instead.
