Kentueky's Joan Of Arc

A brief mention of the heroic eff
forts now being put forth in Ken
lucky for the abolition Of illiteracy,
having been applauded, we are impell-
ed to respond with an encore in the
form of more extended reference.
The people of Kentucky have found
their Joan of Arc in the person Of
Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, who is
leading a crusade that has shaken
the state from the banks of the Ohio
to the remotest hut in he Cumber-
lands. The movement has gained a
momentum which. is sweeping all be-
fore it. The spirit has fallen upon old
and young and the enthusiasm OF the
crusaders is equalled only by the
eagerness with which the illiterate
of the state receive the efforts made
for their enlightenment. The "moon-
light" schools have been receiving a
remarkable patronage, and under the
impetus of the enthusiasm which
rules the situation, old and young
are showing an aptitude as astonish-
ing as it is gratifying in its results.
Little girls and boys with the vista
OF life but beginning to open before
them, hoary headed men OF the nono-
genarian class, vie with one another
in imbibing the miracle called knowl-
edge. Such is the spirit, such the
magnitude of this movement, that, to
the close observer it is plain that the
lday of Kentucky's redemption from
the curse OF illfteracy is at hand. And
the Kentucky that gave to the world
Henry Clay and Abraham Lincoln;
the people who have reared tablets in
honor OF the illustrious men, will be
recreant to duty and ungrateful for
a service matchless in its merits. II
they fail to write alongside the
names of Clay and Lincoln, the In
comparable statesmen, the name OF
Cora Wilson Stewart, the evangel OF

HOW 10 Helm

There is way In which property
owners may help the unemployed and
help themselves. There are things to
be done. A little digging; little
repairing; little trimming IN
around the place. There Is hardly a
house holder who cannot find an odd
Job about his place that ought to be
done. A little want lad" in the Times
will bring the man to do this work.
The man will be saved from asking
for charity and the householder will
add to the appearance or condition
Of his premises. Little things like
these will help to make Fairm6nt the
best city in the United States The
newspaper is the medium for bring
ing people together for their mutual
benefit and is the servant of the
whole public. The unemployed will
have to be cared for, and IL there is
no other way the public will be taxed
to meet the cost. 1t will be better
from all points OF view if the men
IN need are employed and enabled to
care for themselves and families.
Just sit down this evening and think
II there is not an odd job or two that
you can give to a man needing work
and thereby save yourself a dollar or
two Of poor tax. 1t is better for the
needy man and for you to spend the
money that way.-Fairmont Times,

cause 1t frequently divides equally.
1t is proposed to remedy the defect
by creating an additional commis-
sioner at an additional salary OF six
thousand year. II the desire really
is to eliminate the possibility of an
equal division, and the consequent
prevention of any decision upon some
matters of Importance, the end could
