Some Hunting.

Charles Threlkeld. manager of the
Carrsville (Ky.) telephone exchange,
believes he holds the world record in
geese events.
He set couple of geese decoys in
a corn field in Livingston county yes
terday and secreted himself behind a
stack of Stalks with shot gun.
The charm worked.
Pretty soon enough geese to make
professional hunter smile with glee
had gathered themselves together
near the dummies"
Without delaying matters Mr..
Threlkeld got his weapon in action
and set pace for the world.
The record is thirteen geese in five
shots.
II anyone has ever done better
than that Mr.. Threlkeld is willing to
withdraw from the limelight.-Pa-

Holiday Packages May Be In.
Sured.

An important change announced
by the Postoffice in the manner of
sending packages contsining articles
of merchandise during the Christmas
holidays is that these packages may
be insured instead of registered.
For fiVe-cent fee insurance up to
$3.50 can be secured and for ten
cents, $50 worth of insurance can be
secured. Parcels within $50 miles
of the mailing Office may weigh
twenty pounds, but beyond that
eleven pounds is the INIT.
In order to facilitate the prepara-
ton of the insured packages and to
prevent the crowding of the postof-
flee lobby, patrons may obtain in ad-
vance insurance tags, take them
home and prepare them there These
parcels, however, must be mailed at
the main postoffice or one of the SUBJ
stations, where the sender can Sc
cure receipt for it. If he mails it
at street letter box he will have no
recourse in case of failure to deliver.
All mail matter, except the parcel
post. may be registered.
1t is expected that the ability to
secure insurance tags in advance
will be taken advantage of by many
mail-order houses, who can save
time by tagging the package at their
own Offices when it is wrapped.

II Is sad thing to lose good cit
izen from q community. His place in
the affairs in which hehved and NOV
ed. will be hard to fill.
The going Of Mr.. Mcknight is a
severe blow and shock to our neigh
borhood. He was such o great factor
in the development Of our material
resources. that he became one of our
best informed men in all phases of
farm culture. Others could give you
theories plenty on how to successful-
ly run farm, but he could show you
by doing the thing himself.
II was with pardonable pride. that
his neighbors pointed to his beauti.
ful farm as perhaps the best titled
and managed in his neighborhood.
No one who knew him and the farm
upon which he lived and died. ever
had one doubt as to the feet that he
was an Industrious and intelligent
agriculturist.
His relation to his neighborhood
was just as heightened and manly. He
cultivated the good will and opinion
and esteem of his neighbors with the
same great care that characterized
his daily life on his farm. To him,
honor among men, based upon abso-
lutte honesty, was the goal toward
which he moved fearlessly, yet quiz
etly.
The gloom cast over our communi-
ty. and especially upon his home. bt !
speaks the love and esteem in which
he was held.
For nine years he was deprived of
his sight. an sfflction which he bore
without complaint.
He was member of the Disciples
Church at Liberty.
He was born Sept. 8. 1882, and
died Nov. oath. 1913.
His first marriage was to Miss
Ophelia Willis, who was born April
8th. 1853. and died in her young
womanhood. Sept. End. 1879. To
this union was born two children.
George W., of Hopkinsville. and
Ophelia, who lived only three days. |
He married as his second wife, |
Miss Allie Lyle, and by this union
five children have been born, Fronie
Jewell. Mrs. Ruth Museley. Crit. !
Lyle and Ophelis.
The funeral service. which was
at the home. was largely attended, !

mayor should receive a salary of not

this and paying the salaries men

that expenses could be reduced by

second wards, and the otker to be
composed of the second and third
wards The ward boundaries of the

In another column of this paper
will be found the announcement of
w. R. Roberts as a candidate for
mayor of the city of Ardmore, sub
ject to the primary election to be
held March 18th, 1913.
Mr.. Roberts makes this announce
ment after repeated requests of his
many friends who are confident of his

one of it's pioneer citizens, having
lived here for over "a years, he is a
native Texan, having been born at
Sherman, where he resided up to the
timeof comink to this territory.
There never has been a movement
advanced for the betterment of Ard
more that he has not been identified
with and has given of his time ant
means as much as any other citizen
for eight years he was tax assessor
and collector of the city and during
that time his office was model o
efficiency.
Mr.. Roberts says that he will make
the race on the platform of business
efficiency, he states that he believes
the time has come when the people
are tired of factional strife and vii
willingly get together under a busi-
ness administration and make big
ger and better Ardmore, he further
states that he will be conservative
and not radical in all things that
pertain to the good of the city and
will be the mayor of all the people
The many friends of Mr.. Roberts are
delighted that he will be elected and
delighted that he has consented to
make the race and feel confident that
he will be elected and make good.
