Presidents"

Washington, March S.--Presidenf
Wilson will attend the New York
Avenue Presbyterian Church. The
pew which Presidents Lincoln and
Buchanan occupied has been assigned
to the new President. 1t will be occu-
pied for the first time tomorrow.
DIR. Wallace Radcliffe, pastor of the
New York Avenue Church, has been
a personal friend of President Will
son for many years.
Other Presidents who have worsh-
ipped in this church were Andrew

heart of the city and not more than

FOrdsville, KY, March II.
The Republican, Hartford, Ky.
Dear Editors:
] have received two copies of your
paper, Hartford Republican. Your
paper is real good and newsy, but
the most important as well as the
most interesting topic you print
weekly is Pastor Russell,s Sermons.
Pastor Russell is certainly a great
christian leader OF the true children
of God.
He has shed wonderful light on
many seemingly dark sayings in
the scriptures. l feel that God will
bless all who publish this noble mans
sermons for they are having hand
in helping people out of darkness
into the light of Gods holy word.
His work has cast away so much
of the doubt and darkness / once
held to. Pastor Russell, 1 hope will
have a class of Bible students at our
school house ere long. May God bless
you for your noble work of printing
said sermons. Respectfully,
MRS. w. ID. HARDIN.

Horrible Suicide At DukehurSt.

Mr.. James R. Burden, of near
Dukehurst, and son of Mr.. Ben Burd-
en-, of Cromwell, committed suicide
Saturday morning about 1880 by cut
ting his throat from ear to ear, with
the blade of a razor, cutting the wind
pipe, swallow and jugular vein.
1t seems that for several weeks Mr..
Burden had been worrying consider
ably over the fact that his son had
accidently killed his friend several
weeks ago. This appeared to bear
heavily upon the fathers mind. and
on Saturday morning he left his home
on the Wimsatt place. saying he was
coming to Hartford. He passed by
his daughters house, Mrs. Tilford
Aldridge. and stopped in for a few
minutes saying that he thought he
would come in and shave with her
husbands razor before he left for
Hartford. His daughter told him that
there was a blade Of a razor in the
machine drawer, and Mr.. Burden in
stantly got it, and left the house,
walking hurriedly toward Mr.. George
Hickey's store. Almost in front of
the store, he stopped and ended his
life. with his daughter watching him,
she having gone to the door of her
house when her father left. When
friends reached him he was dead,
and County Coroner DIR. A. B. Riley,
of this city, was summoned to hold
an inquest. The coroner readily found
that it was suicide.
Mr.. Burden was about sixty years
old, and leaves a wife and six chill
dren. He was buried at Sunnydale.

Big Union Church.

Danville, KY, March 1l.-There
has been a movement set OH foot
to raise a sufficient amount of money
to erect a union church in West DAN
Vile, a suburban section of the city
which is too far out for the people
to attend the services of any Of the
city churches. Still there are not
enough people of one denomination
to erect any special church, so all
have Joined together in a union
church, and when it is completed
any denomination may hold services
in it. 1t will be a beautiful and conf
modious edifice.

SECRETARY
ROBERTSON
Makes Statement as to A.
S. of E.
Asks Tillers Of Soil to Join With
Them for Own Mutual
Aid And Benefit.

The American Society of Equity
proposes to give all a chance to
make a better living by establish
ing cooperative selling of all farm
products and also by building up CO.
operative establishments, and this
will tend to make the weak stronger,
physically, mentally and morally; the
ignorant wiser and all better and
happier together. This is the high
ideal of human liberty, and broader
conception of human brotherhood, an
will If put into complete operation
be long step toward putting an end
to human slavery, oppression and in
justice as endured by thousands Of
our people to day.
Now we urge the hasty compile
ton of this great organization that
already has many great and noble
reforms to her credit, with many
more soon to follow if the people
will only have her offered benefits.
Do not thoughtlessly say, want to
wait awhile till it is bigger organi-
zation, and l have positive proof that
the American Society OF Equity is
going to benefit ME. You are a sane
human being. A kind providence has
endowed you with the power of reas-
oning from cause to affect, there
fore you have sense enough to know
that the A. S. of E., can never ac-
complish your liberation from the
piratical food trust and commission
men, and all other trusts, who amass
fabulous fortunes, which represent
your hard and unceasing toll, I'M
less you join in and help to make
it power, will you DO it?
You know very well that the best
building material would and could
never make itself into a complete
building without the energetic eff
forts of skillful mechanics. If a num-
Der of mechanics were to stand
around a pile of splendid building
material and every one were to wait
until some other fellows made a CON-
plete building of that material, there
would never be building. This is
plain reasoning is it not? Therefore,
can you not see that you help to de-
feat the grand and noble plans of the
A. S. of E. by keeping outside of the
organization? Do not be afraid that
somebody is going to skin you. The
skin game you are enduring to-day
would certainly be no worse under
any system Tor We should say lack
of SYSTEM The sum of money which
ID takes to join the society is so in
significant that this ought to be the
least reason for not becoming a men,
Der at once. We are fully convinced
that you should not hesitate a mo-
ment after you think seriouslyy over
ment after you think seriously over
the conditions that surround you and
the possibilities awaiting you if you
but give your support to great Ma
tional Organization such as the AM
erican Society of Equity. Remember
this. in union there is strength. Your
exploiters are well organized, as is
evidenced by the powerful trusts.
Therefore, does it not stand to reas-
on that you cannot defend yourself
'single-handed against the schemes of
robbery of the non-producing class?

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomeI-are a mild but sure
laxative. and their effect on the liver
is almost instantaneous. They are the
result of Dr. Edwards determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel. His efforts to Danish it
brought out these little olive colored
tablets. These pleasant little tablets
do the good that calonlel does but have
no bad after effects. They don't injure
the teeth like strong liquids or calomel
They take hold of the trouble snc

at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. It is best not to
