Give Them A Fair Show.

In two Kentucky counties recently
railroad companies were indicted by
grand juries. In one instance a COM
pany was indicted for the failure of it's
employees to blow the engine whistles.
In the other case the Indictment was
for excessive blowing of whistles. This
leads Central Kentucky paper to re-
mark that no corporation in the world
suffers as much from adverse legisla-
ton and general knocking as does a
railroad.
There is good deal of truth in the
assertion. As matter of fact those
who are In the business of operating
railroads must find it hard to run the
roads to suit the public. One class of
patrons inveighs against slow trains
while another class protests against
trains that are fast. One municipality
objects to whistle blowing and drafts
an ordinance accordingly. Another
insists on well-nigh continuous blow
ing. The railroad companies are har.
assed by indictments on trivial grounds
and they are constantly assaulted by
damage suits, some of which are utter
ly without merit. They are looked up
on by petty politicians as legitimate
prey and they are the target for all
sorts of legislation, some of it wise
and much of it foolish.
Communities that are without rail-
roads always rejoice at prospect of
getting them. A town without a rail-
road is inevitably town behind the
times. A county without a railroad is
virtually ''out of the world" All such
counties want railroads and some of
them give subsidies and make stock
subscri ptions to secure them-a sensi-
biz thing to do, provided the amounts
required are not unreasonable. But
once a county gets railroad the
"hammering" begins, and is continu-
Gus.
The railroads should be given fair
show. The country could not very we'll
get along without them. In essential
particulars they are, and should be,
regulated by law. If held to proper ac-
in important things the
public should be satisfied and should
give small encouragement to legislative
hold-ups and petty prosecutions. -Cou-

Since we last appeared in print, we
have been putting the parsonage
grounds in trim condition, planting
some fruit trees and grape vines that
Mr. Ashby generously gave US, and
have established a record in potato
production. We planted some potatoes
on Monday before the hard rain, the
next morning some of them were up,
and two days later we had the first
mess. So without cultivation or the
trouble of digging even, we had pota-
toes within three days after planting.
We submit this against the worlds
record for rapid production. We are
expecting our second crop in June.

months. We had 116 March 30 and
collection of $l7 06 for missions; April
6, l42 present and collection of Sc. 6S;
last Sunday we had 103 and collee-
tion of So 81.
On next Sunday morning a special
offering will be taken for home and
foreign missions. We want to make
this great day with an Offering in
keeping with the occasion. We profess
to be missionary Baptists and we hope
to see il demonstrated on that day.
With the passing of March and the
opening Of April, we note the closing
Of the first and the entrance upon the
second year Of our pastorate. The year
has passed quickly and has been with
all pleasant one. A spirit Of peace
and harmony has prevailed, and we
have had through the year the loyal
and loving support of the active forces
Of the church. With gratitude to God
for his blessings and with increasing
love for the church, we enter hopefully
upon the work of the second year.
The mission rally at Hardinsburg
was decided success. The attendance
was good, the interest fine, and the ad-
dresses Of Brethren Lewis and English |
were great. The apportionment for

1t Is believed that this and more will
be raised. The Mission Board appoint |

campaign some time in the summer.
The idea Is for the pastors with a re-
turned missionary or volunteer for
the foreign field to form team and 90

the church might have dinner on the

only by the instinct that its home

gun to creep along the edge of the
tower and every single on the roof

when down wheeled a pigeon which
had been dislodged from the tower

pigeon scared into the air. Then. as
