Empty Stocking Club.

In the cities people are donating
literally to Empty Stocking Clubs,
or clubs organized for the purpose of
providing Christmas for children whose
parents are unable to provide them
anything out of the ordinary, or who
are not destined to receive a visit
from "Old Santa. The funds are
usually collected by the newspapers
and philanthropic people and turned
over to some society for judicious dis
tribution.
Out in the country the need for such
action may not be so urgent, but
nevertheless, there is always some lit
tie heart that might be gladdened by a
portion of our Christmas cheer; some
little child who but for the kindheart-
edness and thoughtfulness of some one
more fortunate than themselves, may
not receive visit from "Old Santa.
Can you imagine more heart breaking
disappointment to you when a child.
than to arise and find an empty stock
ing on Xmas morning?
Will you not when you are making
such lavish preparations for a merry
Christmas" for your own little ones,
allow your thoughts to turn for a
moment to those less fortunate, and
devote little of what you had intend
ed for your own, to their happiness?

A Warning To Farmers.

The corn and tobacco crops in gene
al over the country last year were very
inferior, and in consequence seed corn
and tobacco seed next spring will be in
great demand and at premium. Gar
rard county farmers are already being
importuned by people from a distance
to let them have their entire surplus.
In view of the above facts, it behooves
the farmers of the. county to begin
making some arrangement for their
seed before it is too late and they are
called upon to pay exorbltant prices.
Overhaul your corn and see if any of it
is available for seeding purposes, if
not make some arrangements with
your more fortunate neighbor. Like
wise make some arrangements as to
the securing of your supply of tobacco
seed. Do not put this matter off I'M
til the last minute or you may find
yourself compelled to pay exorbitant
prices for what you are compelled to
lave.

Until the last few years, from time
immemorial it has been the annual
custom to shoot fireworks on the pub
lie square, as we'll as elsewhere in the
city of Lancaster, and we have seen
the time when it was absolutely dam
gerous to cross that thoroughfare be-
tween the hours of 8 and IL o'clock on
Christmas eve. Within the last few
years this youthful pleasure () has
been greatly curtailed. and every eff
fort has been made upon the part of
the city authorities to put stop to it
all together. Notwithstanding their
efforts there has been some crackers
exploded. Up to-this time no string
ent measures have been used and the
chief of police has been satisfied with
warning the offenders.
At this time however, fair warning
is given that there positively must be
no fireworks discharged within the
city limits during the holidays or al
any other time. There will be none
sold, no license has been issued anC
the law will be rigidly enforced. MOI

The Tobacco Outlook.

The market during the past week was
not quite so strong as the preceding
week, and a slump of an average of
about two cents on the various grades
was noted.
On the Lexington market, which is
about on an average with all others,
there was sold during the past week
2,636, OBS of tobacco which brought up
on an average of $12.19 per hundred.
showing loss of little over cents a
pound over the average of the preced-
ing week. Some of the markets did a
little better, some not quite 80 well,
we give Lexington as fair average.
Garrard growers are marketing their
crops at fairly rapid gait, though
there are many of them holding off
in the hope of better prices after the
holidays. A very small per cent of the
crop has as yet been sold, and practi-
cally all of the prize crops are yet in
the hands of the growers.

Circuit Court Adiourns.

The mid-winter term of the Garrard
circuit court, the last term for the year
1918, adjourned on last Friday after
noon, and Judge Hardin will rest until
after the holidays, his next court being
at Danville in January. The term just
closed was an unusually dull one. the
dockets being very light, and beyond
the clearing away of lot of old bust
ness and the advancement made in the
pleadings in a few civil cases, very
little was done. The grand jury be-
fore its final adjournment returned
something like twenty five indictments,
an unusually small number, and the
majority of them being for minor Of
fenses. All of which points to the fact
that Garrard county:is enjoying an era
of unprecedented peace and happiness.
May it so continue.

of Lancaster is practically out of
water. the supply is very meager, in
fact with the amount of water avail
able, we doubt exceedingly if we could
successfully cope with a fire of any
consequence. The discharge of a
rocket or fire cracker might result in
conf1agration which would destroy
the entire town. In view of the above
state of case, we are sure that only
through thoughtlessness would any,
one, either adult or juvenile jeopardize
the safety of the community, and we
would suggest that everyone refrain
from giving vent to their overflow of
holiday glsdness by the time honored
practice of shooting crackers, which
might result in incalculable damage.

Size Up Your Small Boy Friend, Then
Select Gift.

To make the small boy truly happy
at Christmas time give him something
he really wants and not something that
you think he ought to have. Only a
small percentage of the true American
boys want a story book or a necktie or
a pair of gloves. If he is of an inven-
tive mind, box of tools is an excellent
gift. An engine which will run around
the room is also appropriate. If he
loves outdoor sports give him football
and suit to play in, a pair of skates
or sled. Determine just what amuse-
ment the boy likes best--whether in
doors or outdoors, whether he likes
books or not-then the selection of his
gift becomes simple.

Rates For Political Announcements

Discussing in the last Issue of the
Record the contest in the democratic
party for the Senate we took occasion
to state it as orr opinion that of the
candidates announced Congressman A.
o. Stanley was best qualified to sug-
gest and formulate the law that would
destroy the trust.
The Interior Journal, perhaps not
understanding our meaning, referred
to the particular language and asked
the question (which Trust?" 1t is
the opinion of the writer, and it was
then his intention to say, that of the
candidates announced in the contest
Mr.. Stanley is best qualified to suggest
and formulate general law for the
United States Congress that will de-
stroy all the Trusts without saving or
excepting any. After asking the
question, the editor of that paper init
mates that there is in exlstance trust
to which Mr.. Stanley is under such
ODlRdClOns IndI ne cOulu not De ue-
pended upon to legislate upon the
trust question in the interest of the
people, and against the trust, should
he be sent to the Senate. Now, if we
have given to the Interior j Journal the
correct Interpretation, the editor
would do his party and his State a
good service by naming that trust to
which he refers, and at the same time
give the public all the evidence upon
which he bases this charge against the
candidacy of Mr.. Stanley.
