He tried to put that sparkling face

Of Captain Richmond Pearson
Hobson, who was heard at Berea
College Saturday evening, March
7, the Citizen has the following
deserved and complimentary
tribute:
Capt. Hobson stands, to those
who know him, as one of the fin
est types of American manhood.
Born to opportunity, he was
worthy of what he received. He
made success in the Navy and
won honor that would have spoil
ed a smaller man when he cleo
trified the world by his famous
effort to Bottle up" the Spanish
fleet by the sinking of the Merri-
mac across the entrance to San
tiago harbor under the cross fire
of two powerful land batteries.
"At the close of the war he saw
an opportunity to make a better
fight for the nation and the South
by leaving the deck of the battle
ship, so he resigned his commits
sion and entered politics. How
wisely he chose is written into
every prohibition and local option
law in the South, for he was a
leader in that great fight from
the first"

An Easter Lily

A seed fell into the ground it
died.
And from its grave there grew
a lily.
Tall, fair and pure as an angel
by the throne of God, the lily
stood erect in a crystal vase.
And its golden tongue praised
God.
The florist said, ct is the queen
of my Easter offering"
The poet came to buy a flower
for the woman he loved.
He saw the lily and he said,
"She is as fair as that flower"
And on Easter Sunday morn
ing the lily rose and fell upon her
breast.
In the great congregation, when
the waves of glorious music
touched the lily, it quivered and
thrilled as the heart beneath it
pulsed to the glad voices.
Out beneath the golden stars
the poet stopped to kiss the lips
he loved, and the lily, broken and
bruised, fell to the ground.
And creeping to her cellar, a
beggar girl, cold, tired hungry,
with pain of body, mind and soul,
saw the fair lily glistening in the
moonlight; she picked it up, and
looking into its depths, she saw
a picture of her childhood's home.
Into her hardened eyes came
tears, and each tear held a face;
the mother face, the father face,
faces of loved ones long dead.
And out of her heart she said to
the lily:
ooh! Lily, thou art so fair, so
pure. | knew you long ago in
my country home; have you a
message for sinner like me!"
And the goldened-tongued lily
seemed to sing to her:
"Oh! weary one, the Christ of
the lilies is your Christ. | sing
to you of rest and peace at home"
And kissing the lily the beggar
slept in rags upon the cellar floor
and dreamed of home.
In the morning they found
there a broken, faded lily.
In the morning they found
there a dead girl, with a smile on
her face.
Her dust fell into the earth.
And from the earth an angel
joined the lily-bearing host of
God. A. w. Hawks.

Raymond Carr, aged ten years,
son of Mr.. Elijah R. Carr, a farmer
residing on the Colville pike, near
Paris, was drowned in Hinkston
Creek one day last week. The
lad was riding a horse up the
bank of the creek, which runs in
rear of the Carr farm, when it is
thought that he slid off, falling
into the water, which is six or
eight feet deep at this point, and
was drowned. The bride which
was used on the horse was found
on the creek bank, and it is
thought that it broke, or slipped
from the horses head, letting the
lad roll off into the water.

Grain is hereafter not to be

Frank Morse, who describes in
The Technical World, Chicago,
the recent invention of a Kansan,
Curtis c. Baldwin. The machine
has been used for three successive
harvests, but proved its practical
bility most conclusively last fall
when it threshed from Is to 80
acres of standing grain in a ten
: hour day. The inventor claims it
will reduce the cost of the harvest
from IA cents to 2 cents bushel.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT
Paducah. Ky. Adopts the New
Municipal System.

We are quoting from an address made
by former citizen of Union City, G. H
Sheriff., of the Sheriff. Russell Lumber
Co., at mass meeting in Paducah in
the campaign for commission govern
ment Many of the larger cities are
adopting the system, and it is proving
out splendidly. Many more will adopt
the plan until it becomes universal, and
propably the only system. Many other
organizations need it mighty badly.
For instance, the county courts need to
be superseded by the system. 1t would
revolutionize things.
Chairman Stewart then said the best
time to get in fight was in the begin
ming and not quit until it was won.
He thought it would be a good plan to
warm up with speeches on the best plans
to pursue, expression Of ideas Of the
new government and its advantages and
disadvantages. He called on Clarence
Sheriff., president and general manager
Of the Sheriff. Russell Lumber Co., and
Sheriff. King Mill and Lumber Co., who
spoke in glowing terms Of the govern
ment. The essence Of his address was
as follows;
II am an ordinary, plain business
man. | am an employer, in conjunc-
ton with my partners, Of 100 men, per-
haps 200, whose combined families
number about 500. These men arc III

fort of two towers on an arch Of the
bridge. The Tourelles themselves we're
protected from assault on the Orleans
side by the destruction OF an arch Of
the bridge and by an outwork COM
manding the gap. The boulevard was
separated from the Tourelles by another
breach or gap through which flowed a
stream OF the river. This gap was
crossed by drawbridge; the defenders
OF the boulevard, il too bard pressed,
could rush across, retire into the Tou-
relies, raise the drawbridge and defy the
enemy. Their position would now be
unenviable- they would find themselves
bIockaded in the Tourelles till Talbot,
if reinforced by Falstof, could deal a
decisive blow at the French on the other
side OF the Loire. The boulevard itself
was strong and well defended; both
armies were well supplied with imple-
ments Of war and good fighters.

THE LIFE OF JEANNE D'ARC

Chinon, which was the Dauphin s
headquarters at this time, was two hun
dred and fifty miles from yaucouIeurs
and such a journey naturally involved
quite bit of expense. The money was
supplied by two OF the Maids friends,

and emerged from the appalling disas-
ter in surprisingly successful manner.
This particular instance gave birth to
commission government and its growth
has been remarkable.
Continuing he said;
The great good done in Paducah by
few men and women during the food
last spring was an example Of what can
be done by few persons. Everybody
familiar with details knows what was
accomplished in Paducah at that trying
time.
Concentration in city government is
powerful as in all other things, in soci-
ETY., in religion. Is il possible for
house divided against itself to stand,
family, a church, a social organization,
or a government All must fall. =
He compared the population Of city
to family, urging congeniality and
unison in fight, when results would be
obtained
The spirit Of competition among
business men in Paducah is different
than in any other city, because we are
non-productive. Paducah is the most
beautifully located city ia the country,
and while it may not be d great city it
is destined to be large distributing

Jeanne with her household proceeded
to Blois, where she was joined by sew.
eral military officers and church officials,
After few days spent here in religious
exercises they left Blois. The clergy
went in advance singing "Veni Creator
spiritus." On April the 2sth they ar
rived opposite Orleans.
The importance Of Orleans has already
been mentioned Part One). The Eng
lish sch sme to take the city was mad
one, since their forces and munitions
were entirely inadequate. Bedford him
self saw the uselessness Of the attempt
and did not know by what advice the
siege of the city Of Orleans was taken
in hand" " Thus. it seems, Jeanne's
task was not SO much to prevent the
English from taking the city as it was
to drive the English from their posi-
tions about the city and so relieve the
townspeopIe Of the hardships attendant
upon such an attack.
The enemy had entrenched themselves
about the city in bastiIles or palisaded
earthworks-these being few and very
far apart. Orleans, on the other hand,
had walls Of great height and thick
ness, and in the early part Of the siege
was well equipped with guns and all
munitions OF war, and bountifulIy sup
piled with food.
The English began firing from the
south bank OF the Loire on October u,
1923. From that time until January,
1429, there were skirmishes almost
every day, but supplies were brought
into the city with the greatest ease.
By March 3, however, the earthworks
around the city had been considerably
strengthened and week later bastiIes
completely surrounded the town. All
attempts to relieve Orleans now resulted
disastrously and only a few supplies
could be brought into the city. BY the
last OF April Orleans had been besieged
for about six months and, although the
brave inhabitants did not despair, the
situation was, to say the least, critical
