Judge Prouty said the dissolution OF the

he would have n non-partisan tariff

that is true constructive statesmanship.

Many a candidate has been beaten
for office from the simple fact that his
friends believed him to have "a walk
over. This has been the case with
candidates for the office of constable,
and all the way up to U. 5. Senator.
Eternal vigilance is the watch word,
and it behooves every Democrat in the
state of Kentucky to be on guard, to
not only vote himself at the coming
election, but to make it his business to
see that his neighbOrs and friends vote
for the splendid ticket now in the field.
Political apathy has beaten many a
man. and it will do so again. See to it
that it does not occur this time. The
party is organized throughout the
county and an aggressive fight is beng
made. but there seems to be a feeling
in the minds of the democratic voters
that 1--WE will win anyway, and prob
ably we will. but If a sufficient number
turnout the state have this feeling and
stay away from the polls, defeat is sure
to overtake us, and when 1t is least
expected.
Our friend the enemy is not idle,
they too are making an aggressive
campaign, both Republicans and Pro-
gressives, and we can never tell what
might happen. The safest plan is to
guard against surprises. Let every
Democrat do. his duty, just the same
as if the battle was close one. and
who can tell but what it may be such.
Not only go to the polls and cast your
own ballot, but see that others do the
same. Assist in overcoming this
apathetic feeling. By this means. and
by this means alone can Democratic
success be assured.

INTERESTING LETTER
FROM BUENA VISTA SCHOOL.

Last Friday, the County Superinten-
dant Miss Higgins, Rev. f. M. finder,
of Lancaster, and the teachers of Ed
ucational Division No. ?, spent the day
at the Buena Vista Consolidated Schoo,.
Bro. finder conducted the devotional
exercises followed by a speech by Miss
Higgins. The teachers and visitors
visited Mrs. Hackers room while she
conducted reading lesson for begin
ners. When they We're in the intermedi-
ate room, Miss Ruble had a recitation
in third and fourth grade language and
some reproduction stories by some from
the fifth Grade. After this Miss Rog-
ers entertained with a spelling lesson.
N The remainder of the time before the
noon hour was spent in the high school
room.
At noon, they were invited to the
primary room where the lady teachers
presided over a bountiful repast.
Immediately following this some
School Fair plans We're discussed for
Oct. 3lst. Then they adjourned to the
High school room to meet some of the
patrons who had assembled theres
A kind of informal reception was held
until the wagons arrived to take pupils
and teachers home. Mr.. Hacker seems
to have grasped the situation with
determination to win out, and the peo-
pie of that district are indeed fortunate
in having secured him as the principal
of their school for this the second year.
On last Saturday evening, the pat
rons and friends of the Buena Vista
Consolidated School assembled in the
auditorium of the building. The ladies
brought boxes filled with good things
to eat. These were ''auctioned off, by
Messrs Hacker and A. I. Scott, and so
cleverly were they handled that the
school netted about $685., no box selling
for less tan SIPS. The proceeds will
go in payment for the piano. Since
Mr.. Hacker has had charge of the
school, they have bought lights for the
building, large number of books, the
piano, a manual training outfit as well
as other aids and conveniences. Mr..
Hackers success as finarcier coupled
with his ability as teacher makes him
a valuable principal of the school.
