Should Keep Name in Paper.

No buSieeSs man in any town should
allow a newspaper published in his
town to go without his name mention
ed somewhere in its columns. This
applies to all kinds OF business
al store, dry goods store, groceries,
furniture dealers, professional men,
and in fact all classes of business men.
This does not mean that you should
have whole OF half or even a quarter
page ad in every issue of the paper
but your name and business should be
mentioned if you do not use more than
a two line space. A stranger picking
up a newspaper should be able to tell
just what business is represented in a
town by looking at the business men,
toned in the paper. This is the best
pssslble town advertising. The man
who does not advertise his business
does an injustice to himself and his
town. He is the man who expects the
paper to do most of the boosting for
his town. The man who insists on
sharing the bus mess that comes to a
town but refuses to advertise his bust
ness is not doing his share of the boost
ing. The life of any town depends up
on the live, wldeawake and liberal
business men in it.-Corydon Repub-
lican.

The Road Question,

Dear Editor
Your editorial in the News of Dec,
%, 1912, looks good to man riding a
high horse, but why should you, as a
leading man of your county, charge our
forefathers of being stingy old fogies,
the very people that give the principal
part OF the support to the Adair Coun-
ty News.
Now, we In this district. are advo-
Gates of good roads, but to l are
strictly opposed to bonding the county
under any and all circumstances.
Issue bonds, build roads, build roads
and issue bonds, and bankrupt the
county In very few years. We would
be in the shape that our sister county
of Taylor is in at this time. You say
many will oppose every move that
means expense. 1t is impossible to
change their minds. No appeals will
reach them, no emergencies can stir
their souls from away back in the 7O's.
There were few men in Taylor rid
ing high horses that had the same
opinion, but to-day most any old
thing can change their minds. Any
appeal will reach them, any emergen-
cy will stir their souls. So it would
be with Adairif our magistrate should
vote to bond the county to build roads.
1t would be the last term he would be
permitted to occupy seat in the FiS-
cal court. So we will say to prospect
i've candidates, lock well to your own
interests as well as to the county in
tereStS. We have road tax of l5ctS
on each 800 worth of taxable proper
ty, which is sufficient to build culverts
on all our county roads if properly ex-
pended, yet We cannot get lumber to
build our culvertS which are too dan
gerouS to be safe to the travelling pub
tic, We have d new road law and
what does it amount to? Our engi-
neer passes over the roads once in II
months, appoints assistants. They
are promised sufficient pay 10 keep
them mum, and the Engineer draws
the salary.
In Ruder and cruder times highway
men held up travellers and took their
pocket money. Nowadays highway
robbery is conducted more successful
ly and with less personal risk. All of
the tax payers are held up simultane-
ously and continuously by taxation
whose methods are as far ahead of
those of old times as the tightening
express is ahead of the stage coach.

Shippers Take Notice.

Quite sprinkling of mast-fed hogs
have been coming to this market,
more than ever before so early in the
season; the crop is abundant and
there is trouble ahead for the swine
herd. Shippers must be honest with
their commission men, and above all
things avoid buying hogs for this
market that are mast-fed, or that
have had ANY mast. If shippers
buy hogs that are mast fed, or even
questionable, it will be to their advan-
tage TO advise their commission men
just what character of hogs they are.
The buyers will shortly refuse to buy
any hogs that are not guaranteed, and
in the event guaranteed hogs kill soft,
a reduction of &c per pound will be
made, and if r commission firm knows
that hogs are questionable they can
doubtless sell these hogs to spectators
as mast, or questionable hogs with a
smaller discount.-Louisville Stock
Journal.

HIS Stomach Troubles Over.

Mr. DySpeptic, would you not like
to feel that your stomach troubles
were over, that you could eat any kind
of food you desired without injury?

that you do not even hope for an end

assure you that it is rot altogether
impossible. If others can be cured

THE BIG FRESHET.
More Water in the Streams Of
Adair County than Ever Be.
fore Known
STEEL BRIDGE, PLUM POINT, WASHED AWAY.

A heavy and steady rain commenced
to fall here early in the night last
Sunday week and the down pour con-
tinued, without cessation until Tues
day afternoon about five o'clock.
Russell Greek was two and half
feet higher here than ever before
known, and all other water courses in
the county. even the smaller ones,
were out of banks and spread until
they looked like large rivers
All day Tuesday people were con-
stantly moving from the square to
the creek, and many believed that
the bridge at this place would not
hold out against the turbulent waters.
By two o'clock in the afternoon Tues
day the water had reached the bridge,
and before night it was running two
feet deep through it. 1t cut across
the bridge on both sides, and on the
far side much of the current turned,
which evidently saved the structure
Wednesday the creek had fallen and
buggies, and automobiles and wagons
passed over the bridge.
At Plum Point, in this county, the
iron bridge, built seven years ago at
an expense Of five thousand dollars,
washed away and lodged on an island
few hundred yards below. 1t is es-
timated that it will cost the county
one thousand dollars to replace it.
The bridge across Russell's creek,
one mile from town, known as the
Harris bridge, was in great danger,
but it was not moved, but the ap-
proach from this side was disturbed
and there was considerable washout.
The bridge at Midtown was chain
ed and saved.
Gradyville that was visited by a
food June Z, 1907, escaped this time
At this point there was no damage to
property, but below the town much
fencing was washed away.
Green river was higher than ever
known. The floor of the bridge was
washed out, but it was replaced
Thursday. Columbia was shut out
from all mails.
.It is hard to estimate the damage
in the entire county. as many farmers
lost their fencing, and we learn that
many stacks of hay went with the
tide. 1t is also reported that thous-
ands of slaves were lost on Green
river.
Cumberland river spread all over
creation, and without doubt stave
dealers lost heavily. The mails COM
menced to arrive regularly last Thurs
day.
The approach at the Burk Ford
Bridge was washed out.
Mr.. J. n Coffey, County Road En-
gineer, says that it will take two
thousand dollars to replace the Plum
Point bridge and to do the the nee
eSSary work at the others.

Mr.. w. l Ingram was iii the eastern
portion of the county last Saturday.
He states that the big freshet did not
do much damage on Casey's Creek, but
farmers along Green river lost heavily
in the way of the destruction Of fenc-
ing and the washing away CT hay. He
says the whole of the Plum Point
bridge dropped into the river and
lodge about one hundred yards below
the starting point. He says it will
require much expense and work to re
place it.

Young man there is one thing you
cannot do. You cannot make sue
cess in life unless you work Older
men than you have tried it and failed.
You cannot loaf around the street
corner, smoke, tell stories and sponge
on someone else without making a
failure Of life. You must learn
trade or get into some honest bust
ness Ii you don't you will become a
chronic loafer, and there is no place in
the world for loafers. The ripe fruit
is at the top of the tree and you must
climb if you get it or some smart man
will pluck it from you. Do something
no matter how small or how low the
wages, it will be starter. Help your
self and others will help you There
is nc royal road to success: will, grit
and endurance are the qualities that
lead to it.

Turning Away Positions.

Last week two calls for book
keepers: four or five for stenogra-
pliers: eight or ten for commercial
teachers: about the same number for
combined book-keeperS and stenogra-
pliers: and more than twenty for TEL
egraph operators were turned away
by the Business University at Bow
ling Green, because that Institution
had exhausted its supply of young
men and women who were qualified
for places. Our own boys and girls
had better take notice.

No mail was received here last wee
from Monday until Thursday night at
I o'clock. On that evening thirty
sacks arrived. Postmaster Coffey and
his two deputies, j. NJ. Russell and
L. W. Staples rolled up their sleeves
and dived into the task. BY 9 o'clock
the post Office window was thrown
open and the patrons of the office
we're receiving their mail. That was
going some, and we venture the as
sertion that quicker service has not
been reported from other offices whose
business were disturbed by the flood.

Since the parcels post went into eff
feet the mail order houses have doubl-
ed their efforts to get business. People
at home should trade with nome mer-
chants, but the home merchants
should let the public know what they
have in stock. They have the
medium at hand and if they would
keep their prices constantly before
the people, mail order houses would
not be so busy. There is not a doubt
the purchaser can get better bargains
with their home merchants, but the
hnme merchants must make their
business known.. Our advice is trade
at home and with the business men
who invite you.
