The Clay City times., 1913-07-10

nOIue anu SeiOOm was more pleas
ant picnic participated in than this
one.
If you do not want your name
published as one of those who re-
fused to sign the pledge not to al
low money or whiskey to be used
you had better walk in and sign
right away. The people ask near
ly every day as to who have not
signed it yet and the writer tells
them everv time.
The race for the Superintendent
of schools of this county has mar
moved down to Frank Tracy aud
Mrs. Bohannan. The people all o.
yer the county are insisting that
Mrs. Bohannan be given the place
for she has made splendid Super
inte ndent and there has been no
complaint frem the county while
she has filled the office.
Several from the town went down
to the home of Mr.. Tom Conlee's
o n the Fourth and thoroughly en-
jOyed themselves with a picnic.
The river was an inviting place in
the afternoon and most of .hem
went in bathing. Every man, wo.
man and child ought to learn to
swim for the time may come when
it will come in play in time of need.
The writer had an opportunity of
saving boy once who would have.
drowned had no one been able to
swim, and another time one young
man did drown when an angry huh
got after the crowd and the Others
because we could swim.
One of our thirsty citizens went
to Winchester last Friday and got
on drunk and drawed a pistol on
a man and now he will board with
the county for ninety days and
help to improve the streets of Win
chester. Whiskay will get a young
man in trouble quicker than any
thing else. 1t was a sight to see
one of our town. citizens get off the
train the other day os drunk that
he was foolish. At Winchester at
the trial of the negroes for the kill
ing of A. T. Petit one of our officers
was maudlin drunk and witness
pr two were so drunk that they
could not give good testimony.
The revival meetings at the
Christian Church will continue
all this week and up to Sunday
night when they will close. Rev.
y. o. Woodward who is holding
The meeting is splendid preach
er and as earnest a man as was
ever heard here. A man or wo-
man is IN a dangerous position
who can resist his appeal to live
better life and the life that
1od intended them to live. Bro.
Woodward will give his famous
ecture on "AmerIca" on Satur
lay night and on Sunday after
loOn will again talk to men only
IN 'The Pace that Kills.. Let
every man in town and surround
ng community be out and hear
hat message.
1t is surprising to find that ther4
ire some people who can well afford
% do so who do not take their coun-
y paper, 1t ought to be in the home
II every house holder. The county
'aper is tremendous power for the
ipbuilding of its citizenship and we
'ught to help it all we can. There
s great expense to the running AMI
GETTING out a county paper, andso we
'ught to subscribe for it and then
ise II to our own advancement. I
lave found in hundreds and thou
ands of homes such magazines az
he Good Stories and ComfOrt of Au-
,usta, and others of equal character
which are full of blood and murder
stories, and not a cOu ity paper ta-
Ken, and these same people will 90
10 their neighbors and borrow the
county paper to read. AS the Clay
City Times is only SOC a year there
g no one in the county who cannot
afford that small sum. The writer
Ia not been asked to say this but
ioes 80 GLADLY knowing the value
of a county paper to the citizens of
county. When you die you en-
pect the county paper to say some
thing good about you. Then do
II a good turn first.
