Curing Conceit.

In an article on '"The Training of a
Child in the November Woman's
Home Companion the author, Mary
Louise Graham, writes, in part:
81 know that forgetfulness of self
can be attained, even when il las been
conspicuously denied by nature. This
is very intimate little story that
am about to tell, but feel that it has
in it lesson of real value.
when l was myself a young girl, /
was very conceited. and for no great
er cause than that had good intel
lect and could learn easily what the
other girls at school found hard. The
realization of my own conceit came to
me through other peoples criticism
of me. For some time L puzzled over
what to do. 1t is SO long ago that L
do not remember whether the solution
came all in moment, or whether
gradually lived into the understand
ing Of the truth, that l might know

never harm me so long as l placed no
emphasis on the fact. Every time /
found myself dwelling with satisfac-
ton Oh some display of my own intel
lect. tried to shut out the thought.
1t was very hard at first: L did SO
love my complacent, concei e d
thoughts, ard for time would oc-
casionally indulge. myself in them.
Still, in time the device actually did
work, and it set in motion other sub
conscious processes. Whenever I
came back to thoughts of myself, /
found a new humility, which learn
ed to feel more precious than my old
conceit.
after time conceited thoughts
ceased to give me any pleasure; in
stead, they brought a curious SENSE OF
shame, as if some one had praised me
for a noble act that L had not done.
| had come to see myself i'm true pro.
portion, and to realize the absolute
unimportance OF my poor little mind.
This is not words: Ii is the literal
truth.

The Last of the Three.

The springs robes of nature were
lovely
When warbling SOngSters are gay,
Though weary, respondent, and lone
ly,
He. tarried in grief by the way.
To visit the old country graveyard,
One that he'd known long ago,
Where many mourner had fingered
To witness their loved ones laid low.
The old church near by appeared
gloomy
AS If sad mourner long fears,
With those who lamented their lost
ones
To give silent grief for their tears,
That stand as u Waterman, on duty,
A sentinel knowing no dread,
The slumbering camp of the dead.
He unused upon fond recOllectiOns
Written Oh life'S brightest page,
of those he lad known in his boyhOod
And others familiar in age,
Considering life's transient season
With all of its fashion and show:
As waters that flow to the ocean,
Our lives to eternity 60
In reverie sad, but enchanting,
Fond accents again he could hear;
Dear-in ages of the departed,
Imagined, they still fingered near,
Inv isible to mortal vision,
As ministering spirits around
Where all that was mortal now sleep
eth
Bedeath this hallOwed ground.
Near two marble head stones he tar
ried,
And silently dreamed of the past,
OF kind and affectiOnate parents,
For he was the first and the last.
While visions of loved ones and chill
dren
BY memory still see,
Though bowed now 10y age and Attic
ton,
The last of the once happy three.

Mr.. W. r.. Ciellan, Of Lebanon, was
calling on our merchants one day last
week, and while in town called the
attention of the News man to the i'm
portance Of improving the COnfeder-

River hill between this place and

the movement was on to acquire the
ground, re-erect the monument on
concrete foundation, build cement
fence around the premises and enrich
the ground for blue grass, and when
doae, keep 1t in good condition. This

Adair and Taylor counties ought to
respond literally TO this work. No
one after seeing the monument, can
doubt the Importance of this step, and

love for those who died in that unfort-
innate struggle can justify further ne

A Coed Woman Dies In the Zion
Neishborhood.

Mrs. Annie E. Cabbell, one of the
oldest and noblest women in the Zion
community near Joppa, died October
the 18th, 1912. She was daughter of
Robert and Clemmie Montgomery. and
was born December %, 1882.
She was married to William +. Cab
bell, Jan, -, 1851. To this union
were born six SONS and two daughters,
all of whom are living and attended
the funeral services.
1t was very unusual occurrence for
the six SONS to be the pa1l-bearers of
the mothers remains. But it was a
last privilege to express their appre-
citation of a mothers love and services,
to them.
Three of the brothers, James, Ed
and Frank, live in the west. Three
of them, Lucien, Robert and Ruel
live in this cOunty-Adair.
These are noble sons, which the
mother has left as heritage to the
county and church and reighborhoods
i'll which they dwell.
Mrs. John Young, one of the daught-
ers,1iveS near the old home. Miss
Antha lives in the home with her
brothers, Ruel and Robert.
Mrs. Cabbell was a member Of the
Christian Church, having made the
good confession in girlhood. She lived
faithful Christian life to the end.
Her children are all, but one, Christ
ians. Her counsel and early teaching
will never be forgotten by her child
Iren, and has already influenced them
to live nobly.
One sister, Mrs. Will Montgomery,
remains to mourn the loss of this good
woman.
May the Lords blessing rest upon
children, grand children and relatives
who are bereft by the going forth of
this aged Christian, and may they,
ike she, be ready when they must
so into the great eternity.

"Thou art gone to the grave; but we
will not deplore thee,
Tho sorrows and darkness encompass
the tomb;
The Savior has passed thro' its portals
before thee,
And the lamp of his love was thy
49, guide thro' the gloom.
Thou art gone to the grave; but we
will not deplore thee,
Since God was thy Ransom, thy
Guardian, thy Guide;
lie gave thee, He took thee, and He
will restore thee;
And death has no sting, since the
Savior has died

The Road We Must Have.

lie proposed automobile pike-way
from Columbia, KY, to jamestown,
KY. will have less grades and will
cost less money than any road of its
length that may be built in the State
and doubt if there is another pros
pectiye road in the State that would
promise more to more people than
this proposed road.
First, it will be paying investment
TO the stockholders from the start.
Second, it will reyolutioniZe the en-
tire commercial phase of Southern
Ky. This proposed road is the key 10
a large number of counties thathave
no railroad advantages, but now the
automobile las come to the relief of
such as have nc rail road. A good
pike with automobile service would be
a greater blessing TO more people than
a railroad. With the rapid transit of
autos the travelling public can make
schedule time and will leave the
heavy hauling for men who have
teams, and they can do this hauling
and save money without paying their
hard earned money ''to Ithe mud tax"
This mud tax demands greater tribute
from the Taxpayers Of this country
than all other taxes combined and
many times more. When this road is
completed fromCOlumbia to James
town, this will be the incentive for
other roads. 1t will be but a short
time until the Dunnville pike will be
extended to intercept at Russell
Springs, and others extending from
Columbia to other points; but the one
main essential road is the twenty
one miles that will connect us with
Campbellsyille and Greasy Greek boat
landing on Cumberland River.
Any one who will make this propos-
ed road a study can see at a glance
that such road will effect three of
the largest commercial cities in our
country, and will turn through this
section Of country stream of CON-
merce that Will materially affectevery
body in the entire country. 1t will
set the wheels to rolling: it will en-
nance the value of real estate. 1t
will bring new life and vigor into the
country. 1t will bring good citizen
ship, better schools, better churches,
and will help US in many ways that
we have not space to mention. |

although drawing a salary of S625.
per month has not been in his seat
in the senate to exceed a month
and then, only to make trouble. 1t
will also be remembered that while
governor of the state he used men
drawing salaries from the state to
do his political work and his oppo-
nents had to dig down in their own
pockets and pay their workers.
The proposed plank is a species of
dishonesty as far as the author is
concerned. And it will no doubt
be remembered, that during La
Follette's terms as Chief execu-
tive, large number of boards and
commissions were created to do the
work for which the state officers
are paid, thus increasing the taxes
for Gods patient poor.

CHARCOAL FOR HOGS.
Helps Wonderfully In Keeping the Ami
mails In Good Condition.

Helps Wonderfully In Keeping the AMI
mails In Good Condition.
When hogs are being fed corn they
have Unsuitable appetites for charcoal.
and this goes to show that the char
coal meets some requirement of the
animal system. What is palatable sell
dom does the system any injury, and
then only when taken in excess, which
it is likely to be if the animals are not
hungry. The fact that hogs when on
full feed OF corn eat all forms Of char
coal with avidity and never get too
much of it Is sufficient grounds for
providing 1t in abundance and keeping
1t within reach Of the hogs al all times.
1 utilize all the corncobs on my place
for making charcoal to feed my hogs.

combustion has produced an exceeding
ly good grade Of corncob charcoal
In feeding the charcoal | make up the
following mixture: Five bushels of
corncob charcoal. one bushel of wood
ashes, eight pounds of salt, two quarts
of air slaked lime. two pounds of sui
phur and pound of copperas. | break
up the charcoal, mix ali thoroughly to
gether, put the mixture in self feeding
boxes and place where the hogs can
have free access to it. This conbina
ton furnishes good percentage of ash
for bone building, destroys worms and
helps wonderfully in keeping the hogs
in thrifty condition. The amount OF
charcoal that a bunch of hogs will eat
during the winter if given free access
to it at all times is really very surpris
ing.

Bees won't thrive in a cellar where
