Trouble for Their Pains.

Those candidates for county and
city office throughout Kentucky who
have begun to circulate nominating
petitions among the voters. will have
their trouble for their pains and
may be barred from getting their
names on the primary ballot. The
law is very specific in stating that
no nominating petition shall be cir
culated until ninety days before the
primary, August 2, 1913, and any
signatures obtained before that time
are worthless and must be stricken.
The law requires not only the sigma
ture OF the petitioner and his party
affiliation., but also the date when
II was affixed. In number of
counties candidates unacquainted
with this provision of the law have
already started to secure signatures
TO their nominating petitions.

An Ante-Arrival Reception.

On Monday afternoon last jolly
crowd composed of some of the
young friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Rich
ard CARED agreed upon surprise
for them, as a sort of tit for tat
for the surprise occasioned by the
unexpected marriage of these two.
which took place Tuesday of last
week. The newlyweds were due to
arrive from Lexington on the 5:SS
p. m. train from Ashland. And so,
as the children say. the aforesaid
crowd, of both sexes, furnished
themselves with bells of the most
discordant and noisy of the cbw
variety and took passage on the 4:01
train to meet the unsuspecting pair
from the Bluegrass capital. The Lou
lisa aggregation boarded the coming
train at Buchanan, and with loud
5angling bells and showers of rice
made the defenceless home-comers
fully aware of the fact they wers
being treated to an old--time ehari-
vari. Perhaps il would be better to
call it Shivaree, spelled with capi-
tails. The party from the somewhat
unusual demonstration and the good
looks of the feminine contingent,
held the center of the stage, 80 to
speak, until the train reached Lou
lisa.

SOLD INSURANCE STOCK
Tebs Wiley Indicted for Transaction
Involving Large Sum.


The Lawrence county grand jury
last week indicated Tobe Wiley, OF
Paintsvile, for selling stock in the
Central Life Insurance company OF
Louisville under misrepresentation
The indictment was made by Mr..
Woods, OF Webbville, who contract
ed to invest $500 with Wiley. He
paid half cash and gave his note for
the balance.
Wiley was arrested and brought
here and gave bond. The case came
up for trial yesterday, but the Com
monwealth was not ready and con
tinuance was ordered till next term.
1t is said Wiley made deals with
several other good citizens in the
upper Blaine section of this county,
amounting to several thousand dol
lars. Two men are reported to have
bought $4,000 each. two other
$500 each, and two $1,000 each.
Wiley collected half cash and took
notes due in one year for the bal
ance. 1t Is alleged he represented
among other things that the divi-
dends from the stock would pay the
notes at maturity.

MOONLIGHT SCHOOL,
Rowan Ceuny's Successful IExpeTi-
ment Now a Permanent Affair.

Another illuminating chapter in
regard to the progress of the moon
light schools was published in the
Sunday Courier-Jo ournal. 1t was writ
ten by Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart,
Superintendent Of Schools In Rowan
county, who started the night-school
movement in that section in 1911.
It is encouraging to know that the
moonlight schools are continuing
and prospering, and that Mrs. Stew
art believes they are mo longer in
the experimental stage" In Rowan
county, she says, "the system has
become as firmly established as the
day school," The enrolment of 1911
which was large. was greatly sur
passed by the enrolment for 1912.
Also the System has spread to a
greater or less extent over some
eight or ten other counties in Ken
tucky and to many counties in Ten
nessee."
In 1911 the country heard good
deal about a woman 80 years old,
who was learning to read and write
in the moonlight schools OF Rowan
county. This record was eclipsed in
1912 by a Rowan county school boy,
eighty-seven years young, who is
proud and pleased to line up at the
night school with other obcedarians
of 80, 40, SO, so and 20 years. There
has been no lack of pupils, and in
some instances the night schools
have had larger enrolment than
the day schools. THE lowest num-
ber in any school" Mrs. Stewart
says, was a class Of four and the
members Of this class were as in
terested and as busy as If there had
been forty"
! 1t is a remarkably. interesting
story that Mrs. Stewart tells of the
accomplishments of the night schools
lit demonstrates the oft-repeated
saying that truth is stranger than
fiction" and it Is prophetic of the
dawn of a better day.-courier-
journal.

LOSE GOOD PEOPLE.

Following Mr.. Nash's acceptance
of position with Shipman-Wil-
liams. of Ashland he and Mrs. Nash
have taken residence In that city.
Their removal from Louisa causes
our people to regret the loss of two
very nice people. Mr.. and Mrs.
Nash have lived in this city several
years, and during that period they
won the esteem OF their many
friends. As members OF the M. e.
Church South they were active and
useful and both church and Sunday
school work. Mrs. Nash was a prom
inent and intelligent member of The
Woman's Missionary Society, con-
'ributing greatly to its worth and
efficiency. In the social realm she
was esteemed and popular.
Mr.. Nash was prominent in the
business activities OF Louisa as well
as In the church. He was cour
teous and genial, and when II came
TO assisting In social affairs, direct.
Ing and taking part in functions ar
ranged for the benefit of the church
and the public Cat" was always
ready with his skill and marked
ability along this line.
The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs
Mash wish for them a pleasant and
profitable residence in Ashland.

gave all an opportunity to see and
meet the former belle of Paintsville.
The NEWS will, If 1t ever gets the
time. take special course in How
to tell what She wore, in ten les
sons. Just now its readers must be
content with reading, what very
many already know, that Mrs. Gar
red looked exceedingly well in an
evening gown which, on account of
its richness and becomingness- is
this a good word?-showed her love
liness to the best advantage. There,
now. Isn't this worth more than
half column about trimmings and
stuffs and things you can neither
spell nor pronounce? Passing from
hall to reception room one enter
ed upon scene of much attractive
ness. Very many of Louisa's prom
inent people "had gathered there,
and bright the lamps shone o'er
fair women and brave men," Bryan
said this of an assembly at ball
in Brussels. Perhaps 1t was true
of that scene, the NEWS knows it
is true of the lights which shone at
Monday nights reception in Louisa.
No other city of its size can equal
Louisa in its number of handsome
maids and matrons, and many of
these in gray garb and garniture,
graced this occasion.
The refreshments. bountiful and
most delicious, were served in the
dining room. Mrs. George r. Vim
son and Mrs. Jay Vinson served
these. and Mrs. Dora Greaver pour
ed the coffee. There was also a
never failing spring of most delicioui
punch with which Mrs. Vic Prichard
tried to quench the thirst of the
guests.
After the older guests had gone
the younger people prolonged the
festivities to the small hours of
the following day. Music and dane
ing wer, much enjoyed. A big cake
was cut, and from its delicious
depths here came ring for Miss
Helen vinson, dime for Miss vir-
ginia Hager, needle for Miss Imo-
gene Porter and thimble for a
lady who up to now has failed to
reveal her identity.
From its Alpha to its Omega the
auspicious event was most enjoyable
and without flaw
