drowned apd $50 900 600 damage.
In Columbus 100 were drowned
with So, 0o0, 900 damage The rail
roads estimate their loss at S25,
100000. In one county IN Ohio
$500 bridges we're washed out and
AS the heavy rains were general all
over the state the loss IhSbridgcs Il.
one was great. In our own state
the loss was heavy though we havh
not seen the estimates yet. Cat
lettsburg, Ashland, Maysville, Gov.
ington, Louisville, Hickman AM
many other towns and cities suf
fered great loss but no lives lost.
Our loss in Kentucky will probably
be $15, 200, 900 or more.
Mrs. Eva Byrd and her husband.
of~near Mt Sterling, were visiting
her parents several days. this pas,
week. She still looked the happy
bride as the day when she left for
her new home. 1t is a splendid
thing to see a couple after they
marry continue to be lovers. How
many men treat their wives far diff
ferent after they marry than they
did while they were counting them.
Then they couldn't do enough for
them and say all the nice thoughts
that surged in their hearts, but af-
ter the marriage they get to treat
her more and more like brute. A
woman's work is In her home and
t. her children God never intend
ed that she should have to work by
the side of man in the fields and
do all the milking and the making
of the garden and the cutting of
the wood. Some men think moth
ing of making their wives work
hard all summer in the corn field
and slave in other ways but they
would think that they were dis
graced if they had to help wash
the dishes or sweep the floors or
tend to the baby. 1t is 10 wonder
that our women and girls when
they ought to be in the very prime
of life are broken down and are old
long before their time Men ,rea t
your wives as a companion and tell
her that you love her and give her
those kisses that you have owed
her for wears. Keep her in the
home to make it sweet for you " hen
you come home tired frow a days
work. BE lovers once more and
continue SO the rest of your days.
There has heen some criticism as
TO the writer of the news of Stan
ton They say some things are
written, that while they are true
it would be better TO leave theni
unsaid. The writer wishes to say
that any news that he hears of will
be written and will speak of con
ditiQns in the county in plain,
blunt language. Ii the shoe fits
any one we hope that he or she will
wear l.. As plain language is cas-
lest understood the writer expects
to speak plain. Friends and io.
will be treated alike. lie has M
apology to make for anything tina,
las truth in it. Ii a person does
not want anything unfavorable said
ABOUT them then let them walk the
straight and narrow path and do
his duty as citizen of Powell
county. The writer spoke of the
lice and itch in the school 80 tha'
when the parents read it that they
might examine their children ami
rid them of that unnecessary
plague. No parents s. ould send
their children to school Athletes
with lice and itch till they have
done their best to rid them of il,
and il can be easily done. Many
mothe RS have made the complaint
their children have got lice from
other children. This is not re-
flection on the school but on the
parents who allow such things H.
atIlct their children, aud thus
spread to other children. Tn"
writer knows for fact that his
children got the lice from oth,r
childred and it aroused his ire and
he gave expression to his thought
in the parer IL was enough e.
make any man mad clean thr"ugh
and could you have seen how III"
mother has worked unceasirg Civ ~
yer those children to rid them at thu
ice the readers would sympslhizo
|. rather than criticise.
