LECTURES ON
TEMPERANCE
A Very Large Crowd Hears
Gifted Woman at the Court
House Monday Night.

Mrs. Mary Harris Armor,
known as the Georgia Whirl-
wind" and President of the w.
c. T. u, of that State, spoke
here Monday evening at the
Court House in behalf of the
cause of temperance. She has a
strong voice, well suited for
public speaking, is highly edu-
Gated and cultured and for about
two hours held the undivided
attention of her audience which
filed the court room, aisle ways
and gallery and many were un-
able to get in. That she made
a fine impression and accom-
plished much for her cause is
admitted by all.

COLORED FAIR
HUGH SUCCESS

The colored fair in this city last
week was attended by fairly good
crowds. The first day of the fair
a street parade under the direction
of Matthew Darnell was enjoyed
by both white and colored as sew
eral of the features were very
comical.
p The young colored men that
had the fair in charge should be
given credit for the excellent or
der maintained at all times and
the EXTREMITY courteous treatment
of the white people who attended
The music was furnished by a
Louisville Band, the best organi-
cation of its kind ever heard in
this city.

REAL ESTATE SALE

The heirs of Frank c. Laugh
lin, deceased, have sold their
handsome residence property on
-MaysVille~ street to Mr.. Thomas
Brown, of Owingsivlle, for Sc. 500,
payable when same is approved
by a judgment of the Montgom-
cry Circuit Court. The Laughlins
have not fully arranged their
plans for the future, but we hope
they will conclude to continue
residents of Mt. Sterling. Mr..
Brown and family will move to
our city to reside and we well
come these excellent people to
our city.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1914-08-26

A number of German-American
societies have adopted resolutions
calling upon the American press
to print the news of the European
war fairly and therefore, without
prejudice. 1t is needless to say
that the newspapers will do that
very thing without urging, If
there is any one thing in the pres
ent crisis that the press is trying
to do it is to print the news just
as nearly correct as possible
With all of the belligerants CEN
soring the dispatches forwarded
by correspondents it is almost inn
possible to known whether the
news received in this county is
correct.

VILLA DECLARES
HE is FOR PEACE

General Francisco Villa has
issued a statement regarding his
relations with the Carranza gov
eminent at Mexico City. He
said:
81 have no personal feeling in
this matter against Carranza.
This country should not again
be under military government.
The armies by our constitution
are secondary to the constituted
government and tbs now time that
the country should be governed
by the people, for the people and
not as heretofore, governed by a
military clique, whose only object
is personal welfare and not the
welfare of the masses.
ct desire the moral help of the
American people in this political
fight I am now waging. l consid-
er myself the moral champion to
procure by all honorable means
for the down-trodden countrymen
justice and at the same time
showing them their obligations
towards law and order.
There need be no alarm what
ever regarding my standing iii
this matter. / desire the Ameri-
can people to understand once
and for all, that I shall now take
the part of silent moral pressure
on any government they may
emanate; this pressure is not
menacing by any means. l de-
sire morality, the strictest moral
ity in government.
ct desire that my country in

GOOD. TIME FOR
WEED CUTTING

The State Road Commissioner
is calling the attention of road
engineers and county officials to
a law passed at the last session of
the Legislature which requires
the cutting of weeds along the
right-of-way of county roads.
This law provides that county
engineers Shall cause noxious
weeds growing by the bounds of
the public roads to be cut down
in the month of August" Most
weeds mature in August and if
they are cut and burned during
that month the next years weed
crop will be smaller. The cut
ting of weeds along the county
roads improves the drainage of
the highway and also prevents
the spread of the weeds to farms
that are adjacent. For this reas-
on the State Road Commissioner
urges the engineers to induce
farmers whose lands border on
the public highways to assist in
putting the law into effect.
This is a good season for weed
cutting, both in city and in coun-
try, and the weeds are not by any
confined to the country.
Drouth which destroy field and
garden crops have little effect on
weeds. Mt. Sterling has many
fourishing patches of this useless
and would have less
of it next year if the sickle and
hoe were used to good effect. Let
those who have weeds to cut in
town or in country go valiantly
and willingly to the work.
