CAMPAIGN
SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED

The Bourbon county end OF the
Statewide campaign to stamp out ill
iteracy was successfully inaugurated
in Paris, Wednesday morning, when a
large and appreciative audience gath
cred in the auditorium of the Paris
City Schools, and listened with rapt
attention to a remarkably fine address
by Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart.
Mrs Stewart, as is now well-knOwn,
is the originator of the "moolight
school, movement, and her splendid
work in this direction has attracted
the attention of all America. She is
easily one of the foremost women Of
to-day in educational work. She is a
highly-educated noble woman, and her
work deserves the many compliments
paid her.
Tho attendance on this occasion
proved the desire Of the people of
this section to assist in a worthy I'M
dertaking, and all came away enthus-
ed and determined to lend helping
hand
Mrs. Stewards address was a stir
ring narrative, simply but beautifully
told, and was largely an appealing
story of the eagerness with which
those "who were in darkness" OF illit-
eracy seized the opportunity of gain
ing the rudiments of an education
She paid a splendid tribute to the
teachers of the State who had volun-
teered without additional pay to serve
in the moonlight schools, and said
that all the commission asked was
small fund to provide the paper and
pencils and books, necessary to carry
on the correspondence. The conclu-
sion Of her address was full Of elo-
quence.
Hasten the day." she said, when
the rural dweller, wherever he may be,
whether in the mountains, or by the
sea, i'll the cotton fields or On the
Western plains, may have a school
that is open not only to his wife. his
grown son and his aged father and his
hired man and himself by night.
Hasten the day when there shall be
no men and women in this country
who have eyes to see, but see not
the splendid truths which have been
written in books, and who have hands
to write, but write not the thoughts
which, if recorded, might stamp with
genius someone whose wisdom the
world, in it's urgent need, is seek
ing"

IN MORIAM.

In loving remembrance of little
Bayless Adair, who died No
vember %, 1914.
Meath our eyes he faded SLOWLY.
Growing day by day more frail:
Bearing sweetly all his suffering
Without murmur, moan or wall
Like a pure and spotless lily
Soft unfolding to the sun,
Turns with faith our dear one
To his best beloved one.
Yes, the sweet little voice
We loved to hear is still
And the vacant spot
Left by his going
In the hearts of all loved
Him can ne'er be filled.
But God in His goodness
Has taken the bright little
Darling to join the
Sweet angels in Heaven
Where all is perfect happiness
And suffering and
Trouble are no more.

THANKSGIVING DAY FIT
TINGlY OBSERVED HERE.

That Thanksgiving bird which is al
ways condemned to die in order to
promote the happiness of an entire
ration Of the first harvest reaped by the
new lease of life in the larger cities
of the United States, but in Paris,
Kentucky, the sentence of death as
officially promulgated, was carried
out, and the royal bird went to his
death in thousands of different ways
in the homes and hotels of the city.
In some homes, however, chicken
and other fowl supplanted the nation
al bird as Thanksgiving meat, and
the turkey, which has participated in
all previous Thanksgiving festivals,
had a real season for giving thanks
for the first time since the American
people set aside a day in commemor-
alton OF the first harvest reaped by the
Pilgrims at Plymouth. But to most
Kentuckians Thanksgiving dinner
would not be complete if the brown
and bronze turkey, with it's appetiz-
ing OdOr and the essential trimmings.
were not present. Thanksgiving and
turkey are synonymous.
Turkeys this year, like fashionable
sylph-like. Whether tie craze for re-
ducing or the craze for turkey trot-
ting" was responsible has not been
definitely decided. One commission
man blames the climate for this years
style in turkeys.
IF it had showed this year we
would have had fat turkeys said
this Paris commission man. You
see, turkeys do Mt realize that Thanks
giving is coming unless there is snow
on the ground. AS long as the grass
is green and dirt convenient, turkeys,
like some people insist on running
around and having good time But
when the blanket of white is drawn
the National bird resigns himself to
his decreed fate and loafs around un-
til the day of Judgment comes, in the
meantime putting on a muchly desired
coat of fat

DEBATING LEAGUE Formed.

Mitchell. ell.-FollOwing several years
of scattered agitation upon the prop
osition, the South Dakota High School
Debating league at last has been or
gained. Organization was effected
at DeadwOOd at the time of the ses-
siOns of the state educational asso-
citation and constitution adopted
The constitution provides for the di-
vision Of the state into districts, in
much the same way as that of the
state declamatory league The debat-
ing champion of each district will be
determined by the elimination pro
cess. The district winners will then
clash for state hOnors. Since several
of the leading schools of the state al
ready have completed ARRANGEMENTS
for their debate schedule for the pres
ent year, active operations of the
league will not begin until the fall Of
next year. Prof. Arthur Chittick of
Sioux Falls high school was given the
honor of being the first president of
the new organization, chief credit
for its formation being due to his eff
forts. r. b. Iron Of Rapid City, super
intendent of city schools, was elected
principal of Mitchell high school, was
chosen to act with the two officers as
members of the executive board which
will superintend the work of the
league.
