their School at the Antiock School

Miss Dickerson is to be classed among

Remarkable Coincidence.

A remarkable coincidence in the
lives of County Judge Clayton A. Ar
mold, who has just assumed that high
office. and Sheriff Curt A. Robinson,
who has also just taken that office,
but who served the county in the same
capacity many years ago, is the fact
that the first official act of Mr. Robin
son upon entering upon his Office for
the first time as sheriff, was to arrest
one Curtis Robinson Ambrose, a name

Reform. and the first official act of
Mr.. Arnold upon being induced into
the office of County Judge WIS to send
his namesakp. d c,.!nrtd youth, Clay ton

Mr.. Thomas Dunn died at his home

always took an active interest in the
affairs of the county and was probably
one of the best informed men as to
land valuations in the county, and be-
cause of this qualification was often
chosen as a member of the county
board of supervisors. He was man
of wide information and splendid judg-
ment as well as a gentleman of the
strictest integrity. He was highly es-
( teemed throughout the county and in
his own locality was freely consulted
/ upon business matters, his advice be-
ing considered of great value, and he
by his wise counsel has prevented
many a lawsuit. Mr.. Dunn at the
outbreak of the Civil war espoused
the Union cause and served with dis
tinction under the late Col. J. K.
Faulkner in the 7th, KY. cavalry. He
was a member of the Christian church
and of the F. &. A. M. Lodge.

royalty entertained at the Elmendorf
Stuck Farm last Saturday. it being a
fitting finale to the Farmers Institute
which had been going on all week.

in which the prime steer was better
than the common rough, from strictly

at a luncheon spread in the big dairy
barn. which was spotlessly clean and
decorated throughout with magnificent
cut flowers and potted plants. After
luncheon the guests were taken to the

He Hadn't Time.

He hadn't time, when the days were
fair
And others were giving him praise,
To think of her, with her whitened
hair
And her homely old-fashioned ways;
He hadn't time to remember how
She had taught him his childhood
prayers.
And smoothed the lines from his
troubled brow
When he fretted with boyish cares.
He hadn't the time when the fair winds
blew
And his dreams were of proud sue
When his hopes were high and his sor-
rows few,
To think of her loneliness;
But he found the time in the later days
To wish that he might forget,
And to feel, while he listened to empty
praise.
The ache of vain regret.

Open Air School Classes.

In certain schools in New York it has
been decided to hear lessons in the open
air. The plan has been in use in Boston
for some years. To lesser extent 1t
has been precticed in Chicago and in
There is good deal to be said in
favor of open air lessons, In the case
of children with predisposition to tu-
bercular disease the advantage would
be great That it would work favor
ably also with children who are phys
ically weak from any cause may well
be believed. The Importance of fresh
air as an element of health is now very
generally recognized. The ventilation
in crowded school rooms is not always
what it should be. In building school,
houses increasing attention ls being
paid to this matter The buildinga
that are being erected nowadays are
better and more SANITARY than those OF
the past.
Despite these changing conditions
there are innumerable schoolhouses
that are better adapted for barns than
for the purpose of herding a miscel-
laneous aggregation of pupils. There
are teachers, it is regrettable to say,
who do not appreciate the benefits of
fresh air and who do not comprehend
the menace of foul air. Despite the
unfiagging efforts of medical authori-
ties and sanitary experts to educate
the masses there yet remain with III
some millions of American citizenswho
shrink from the might air. and who
avoid draft as assiduously as they
would dodge contagious disease.
Doubtless there are parents in plenty
who will see baleful possibilities in
open-air lessons. A departure of the
kind therefore should constitute val
uabls object lesson for parental dis
senters, as well as benefit to sickly
children.
Pupils are not likely to distinguish
themselves in scholarship where to the
burden of poor physical development is
added the handicap of insufficient
ventilation. Open-air lessons. where
and when the surrounding conditions
make them desirable, probably will
prove beneficial both to teachers and
pupils, -.-... ..-... ~,

One Mere Spiritual Land Slide.

The DavistOwn Baptist Church, after
remaining in state of lethargy for
quite while, called to it's pastorate,
little less than year ago Rev. VIM.
Hooker of Hodgenville, KY.
Rev. Hooker has proven himself to
be of that class of ministers who are
not satisfied with laggers. He has
worked up quite an interest among his
people at Davistown during the past
season.
Under the leadership of Rev. Hooker
the people have beautitied and painted
their church and put in new stoves.
On the third Lords day in November
Brother Hooker began a series of
meetings, and closed the Second SUM-
day in this month with an addition of
az fourty seven, of which 1881 thirty
eight are candidates for the water.
Revs. H. Miller of New fort, and
Stepen Davis of Stony Point, assisted
in the meetings during the last two
weeks and did some valuable work.
Such a spiritual awakening has not
been felt in DavistOwn since the
seventies and the people should feel
themselves complimented in having
such a man as Rev. Hooker as their
spiritual leader.
The baptising took place on Dix
river the 21st inst at place dedicated
by the Baptist Church at Davistown
under the leader ship of its former pas
ture. and organizer, Rev. Lot Smith
A. D. 1875 the baptising was perform
ed by Rev. VIM. Hooker, who did his
work well in Is minutes. The baptis-
ing was wit 1esed by large crowd
among which were some of the best
white people of the neighborhood.

No Longer Horseless Carriages But
Motto Cars

If one will look over the advertising
pages of the magazines Of five or six
years ago the pictures of the auto
mobiles then sold will strikingly illus
trate the development since then of
this modern sport. At that time the
manufacturers seemed to have an am
bition to conceal the fact, so far as
possible. that their vehicles were ma
chimes. They made buggies and sur
reys with the engines hidden away be-
meath the seats and the flooring, and a
new topic was given to the joke
writers and cartoonists, that of the
motorist lying on his back in the dusty
or muddy road, tinkerIng awkwardly
at the almost inaccessible inner parts
above him.
The world still regarded these vehicles
as ''horseless carriages and 1t was
several years after they came into use
before the makers realized that they
should forsake the designs of carriage
manufacturers and treat the cars
frankly as engines.
Gradually, bicycle wheels and light
bodies were discarded, the engines were
taken from their ignominious position
under the body and placed forward un-
a protecting bonnet, where they might
be easily reached; the GLASSES became
suitably heavy, and the modern motor
car emerged triumI hant as An engine
of locomotion. Today it no longer sails
under false colors; it looks the world

The movement for the betterment of
society need not, in their opinion, be
universal. They think that Lne con-
Germ can make a start and create All
example. All well and good if other
companies follow their lead, but they
probably would not, even if they were
financially able. They make the pace
hard for all other industries, for there
are very few which can make up a
payroll on the basis of $500 day as a
minimum wage. The industries can
not double their prevailing wage rate.
Under our present social and firan-
cial system, trade seeks its level as
certainly as water. The exceptions,
which are rare and artifcially main
tanned. always disappear. The opera
ton of the plan was seen when 10000
men struggled and fought around the
plant of the Ford Motor Co., clamoring
for jobs. Serious disturbances in the
Automobile market are sure to follow.
There will be strikes and unrest in the
shops of other companies.

The Ford cars are sold at low price,

little. The Interstate Commerce
Commissission would not allow the

rates, merely to provide high wages
for its employees. AS Ebert Hubbard

It isn't likely that anyone is much
surprised at the course of Villa in
breaking off with his nominal chief.
Carranza. From an Individual stand
point, Villa has ample provocation
He has done more for the constitu-
tionalist cause than all the other
leaders of that faction put together,
and SO far he has shown more sense.
The course followed by Carranza in
trying to subordinate Villa to men
of less military ability, does not
show either tact or ability But it is
only what is to be expected in Latin
Americans. The spirit of preferring
the general good to personal ambi-
ton is almost absent from them, and
until they attain it they will never

1t is suggested that the manufac-

ought to be sufficiently interested in
the matter of perpetuation of game

come thru the printing Of some

the treaty that has enabled the Pan

The Star does not doubt President
WILSON'S patriotism in anything, but
most Of the people backing this

motives any one OF which is the re-

profit on all the trade we have with
the west coast OF South America TO

The second reason is rabid
hate Of Theodore. Roosevelt. which
is very violent in number OF small
minded persons. Mr. Roosevelt has
great faults, but his action in this
case was not only in service of Am
erica but the whole world.
The third is the spirit that is
