we should acknowledge t.Ae kindness
OF Divine Providence in arranging
aeons and aeons ago to have Skunk
creek run along the edge Of our lovely
and beautiful little city. so that it is
unnecessary for us to.drive our COWS
far to water. 1t was divinely ordained
long before the corner stone of the
first Babylonian post Office or Masonic
temple had been laid that town was
some day to spring up on the banks
Of Skunk creek. We have kept the
faith. Our heritage is unspotted. We
have nobly set our heels upon the neck
Of tyranny, and the only red light in
our midst is the one at the railroad
switch.
Let US then give thanks and pray
for help to walk bravely and uprightly
where the boards happen to be loose
In our sidewalks so that our shins may
be unskun as we blithely tread the
path of life through and across the
twelve months to come.
Feeling that l have done no more
than my duty in telling you these
things about yourselves and the lovely
place in which it is your lot to live. l

mending that you will never forget

CHILDREN HATE OIL,

California Syrup Of Figs" best for ten-
der stomach. liver. bowels

Look back at you childhood,

mother insisted on-castor oil,
calomel, cathartics. How You
hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children It's differ
emf. Mothers who cling to the
old form Of physic simply don't
realize what they do. The chiIa-
ren's revolt is we'll founded.
Their tender little "insides'' are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach. liver
and bowels need cleansing, give
only delicious "California Syrup
of Figs" Its action is positive.
but gentle. Millions of mothers
keep this harmless fruit laxa-
tive" handy; they know children
love to take it; that 1t never fails
to clean the liver and bowels and
sweeten the stomach, and that a
teaspoonful given today saves a
sick child tomorrow.
Ask your druggist for 5O.cent
bottle of california Syrup of
Figs" which has full directions
for babies, children of all ages,
and for grown-ups plainly ON
each bottle. Beware of counter
feits sold here. See that it is
made by California Fig Syrup

Judge Cochran, whose juris-

his docket clear because of the
vast increase of litigation grow

Eastern Kentucky, and the law
