There is ample reason for satisfac-
tion in what the board of trade has ar
complishcd during its existence. Re
views OF its achievements have been
so frequent that The Meddlcr does not
feel warranted in devoting space to
another. nor is there need at this time.
The scope Of its membership is a
pretty good testimonial to the apprc-
citation in which it Is held by those
best able to Judge of what it has done.
1t is generally the case that thos"
who criticize it arc folks who haven I
public spirit enough to keep in touch
with matters pertaining to the town :

1t is assumed that action will be
taken at Tuesday village meeting
providing an arrangement for laying
the dust on the streets during the com
ing summer and that money for that
purpose will be appropriated. But the
oil-vs.-water controversy Is one that -
likely to survive any action taken by
the voters. Whether or not this ques
ton it left to the opinion of the ma
loritv of the residents of each street 1t
is certain that the village viii have oc-
casion to use a large amount of oil tol
dust laying purposes this season. an,
there is also q probability that some
viii be used on the highways in the
I OUTLYING districts. both by the towI
/ and by the state highway department
! 1t would be economy. therefore. for the

get together and arrange to have the
oiling done at one time and by one

OF applying oil to highways is az
knowlcdgcd to be 10y high pressure
since this plan results in forced pen
ctration aud does away with the ne

1t also obviates much of the annoy

The election of George l.. Durham as
president of the local board of trade is
recognition that is deserved. Since its
organization eight years ago Mr.. Dan.
ham has served as a director, and
every project ia which the board has
been interested has received his
hearty support. The fact that he is
a man Of large and varied business in
tcrcsts has not been allowed to inter
fore with his regular attendance ut the
monthly directors meetings. and his
sincere belief in the board as 4 force
for community betterment will be OF
much assistance in CARRYING on the
work so well done during the past two
and a half years by the retiring presi-
dent, Major c. Houghton.

WHY NOT TAG
KENTUCKY BACHELORS?

A great many State legislatures have
given consideration to bills taxing bach
elors and many convincing arguments
have been presented that who escape
matrimony should pay apenalty but why
not tag them as more painless and
effective method of determination? If
the bachelors were tagged the widows
could easily find them and Cupid would
do the rest. The bachelor is naturally
timid, but under the encouraging in
fluences of a merry widow he can easily
be led to the alter, for there is no more
helpless craft afioat than a lovesick
swain who has passed the age of dis
erection, and the little imp that plays
ping. pong with human hearts has no
more capable ally than woman who
loves at second sight, for experience
makes Cupid subtle and bold.
The women have tag days to promote
most every other public enterprise, and
whv not tag day for bachelors? We
have in Kentucky approximately seven
ty-five thousand bachelors and an equal
number of widows. Why not get them
together end solve two vexatious prob
lens with one marriage license?

HEMP and TOBACCO
CUTTING In PROGRESS.

Farmers have commenced the cutting
of the hemp crop, and the fibre is re-
ported to be unusually good. Messrs
Dave Dudderar and James House who
have in the neighborhood of 200 acres,
report splendid conditions of their large
acreage although the bulk of the crop
remains as yet untouched.
In ten days the large tobacco crop of
the county will be ready for the knife,
and farmers are already beginning to
make preparations for it's housing and
curing, and owing to the propitious
weather of the past few weeks. it is
expected to be unusually good. What
a few weeks since seemed destined to
be failure, under the influence of the
copious showers has developed into a
splendid crop, and if frost is not un-
usually early, even the latest crops
will make good tobacco.

on exhibition every kind of fancy work,
embroidery, lace ETC., quilts. counter
panes and patchwork; chickens, vege-
tables, farm products. preserves, jellies,
cakes, pies and every toothsome thing
imaginable. Everything was splendidly
arranged and the place was constantly
thronged with an admiring crowd.
Mrs. ]. R. Mount of Lancaster, was
a liberal exhibitor, and it seems to US
she came away with more than her
share of the premiums. She took 1st on

ALWAYS SOMETHING new
Wonders Never Cease In Stanford.

where they artlficially inject the water
into watermelons, where hail dams up
the streams and kills the fish and where
heroic women seize black snakes of i'm

their houses, there now comes another
miraculous story. This time Danville
man reports passing through the streets
OF Stanford after midnight and finding
the chickens OF the town out under the
electric lights catching bugs, and so
intent upon their bug catching were
the fowls that it became necessary to
stop the machine to avoid killing them.
The story comes unvouched for, and we
are personally not acquainted with the
gentleman who tells it, but coming
from Stanford, the place where wonders
never cease, We of course do not doubt
it.

DEPLORABLE
ACCIDENT
mrs. JAMES HOUSE
PAINFULLY INJURED
In Runaway.

At six O'Clock last Saturday when
Mrs. James House was leaving town
for her home few miles from town on
the Lexington pike. her pony became
frightened at dog which ran barking
after the pony shortly after leaving the
public square, and the animal began to
run. When in front of the home of
Mr.. Joseph Robinson the vehicle was
overturned and the occupants, Mrs.
House and a young bow named Dur
can, were thrown violently to the
ground. Mrs. House had her right leg
broken at the ankle and a severe cut
on her left leg below the knee. Young
Duncan suffered fractured bone in
one leg. sprained ankle and a severe
conclusion of the head. Mrs. House
was taken to the home of Mr.. j. A.
Beazley and after having her injuries
attended, she was taken to her home
in Mr.. ]. S. Haselden's auto truck: she
was accompanied by several ladies' of
the town, and the ride made as COM
Portable as possible, and the good lady
is resting as easily as could be expected
after her trying experience. Her in
Juries while very severe and painful,
are not-of dangerous character, and
she will, barring complications, soon
be out again. Young Duncan, whose
father lives on the farm of Mr.. A. B.
Brown, was also taken to his home in
an automobile, and his injuries are also
doing nicely.
Luckily the little son, James ,Jr.,
who came to town with his mother,
remained in town with his father, and
expected to accompany him home in
the buggy. Had the child been with
his mother when the accident occurred,
the matter might have terminated less
fortunately for all parties, as the added
care of the child would have prevented
Mrs. House from giving so much of her
attention to the recalcitrant pony.
The entire community sympathizes
deeply with Mrs. House in her misfor-
tune, and hope for her early recovery.

TOBACCO TO BECOME
NEGOTIABLE
Emergency Currency To Be Issued.

Senator James has received assurance
from Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
that emergency currency will be issued
upon tobacco warehouse receipts, which
means that these receipts will become
practically negotiable. As soon as the
crop is placed in a warehouse end a
receipt issued therefor; money may be
borrowed thereon almost up to the full
value of the crop, regardless of whether
or not the foreign markets are closed
against the commodity. This news is
very gratifying to the tobacco ralsers
OF Kentucky. as the question of how
funds were to be obtained on our i'm
mense tobacco crop this fall was be-
ginning to be very vexing problem.
