Very often a teacher wishes to
have a number of copies of The
Citizen in his school, TO use for sup
Elementary reading, and to interest
the scholars in current events and
in improvement in school, home and
farm.
Very often a preacher wishes to
have the leading families in his
congregation take The Citizen so
that they shall have the Sunday
School lesson, and so that they shall
all be thinking about the good
things that the paper brings.

Do You Understand The Citizen?

THE CITIZEN is first class newspaper and some
thing 1t differs from the ordinary money making
newspaper just church differs from insurance
company An insurance company benefits its members,
but its object is to make money The church benefits its
members first last and all the time and spends its efforts
for the good of the whole community.
Now THE CITIZEN brings you news. 1t searches out
the Eastern Kentucky which other paper carries,
and II sits the worlds give you the things
that important But besides this it looks for the
interest of the people in all ways An example is the
series of articles by Professor Smith, beginning in this
issue, on the Mountain Problem. THE CITIZEN desires
to visit every mountain home and to have its mission

Roads Worked Despite Bad weather
Many Counties responded epthus-
iastically to the Governors prOcla-
nation and much work was done
turnout the state. AlthO rain
hindered work in several Counties.
Those prevented by the weather
postponed their efforts until dryer
season.
From Jessamine County comes
the word that their roads need no
repairing, while the farmers of
Montgomery County declare that
they pay enough taxes to keep the
roads and want the County to do the
work.
But the most of Kentucky could
put many days work on the roads
without over improving them and
most farmers see that il pays album
dant profits to do all they can to
keep up good roads.

construction OF a sidewalk in Burling-
ton, James Tunney discovered gold
ring which. judging from its appearance,
had lain for a great many years in the
ground. On the inside, was the date
July 6, 1870. and it is supposed that the
ring was lost by some early settler of
this region, as when it was cleaned off
there was little appearance of its having
been worn long. There were also some
initials which looked like b. d. f. The
band was of heavy gold and plain The
