copying the record responsible for it ALL Mr.. Holon
had gotten 1853 votes in Morgan county but in compiling
the returns the commissioners had made mistake in
copying and made it read 36S instead.
This fact must have been known to Mr.. Hoon At
least he must have known that he received only 1853 votes
in this county, but Notwithstanding this he seemed
willing and anxious to acceptthe certificate of nomination
So anxious in fact, that he employed counsel several

that has been proposed within the last ten years. the OBJ

met with their relentless opposition continuous dis
approval They ply their calling faithfully though
they were getting pay for their services and sometimes
we are tempted to believe that they are.
The COURIER, in connection with certain citizens Of
the town and county, has been making determined fight
to get the titles to greater part of Morgan county clear

under the Amyx surveys Development was at stand

others who took an active part who were fighting in the

definitely known Certain it s that have already ac-

But the results are not satisfactory to some of our

the idea that the world ought to be done up package

Terrific Explosion.

A 25O-barrel tank car of gaso-
line exploded at Ardmore, Okla
homa, Monday, killing fifty
persons, injuring two hundred
others and doing $50O,OOO dam
age.
The explosion is supposed to
have been caused by a spark
caused by a blow from the ham,
mer of a workman who was re-
pairing a leak in the tank. The
burning gasoline was thrown
in all directions, starting many
fires which were responsible for
a great part Of the property loss.
Thirty-eight cars in the Santa Fa
railroad yards were destroyed.
All the buildings in the vicinity
of the explosion were wrecked,
and the force Of the shock wa:
felt for twelve blocks.

cation with the outside world fo,

dwelling at all but a village or
city. The celebrated Cliff Palace
Is not a palace. Neither is
Spruce Tree House a house, nor
Balcony House a house. Each
OF these is a complete town which
once, in the dim ages before the
earliest Indian tradition, was an
organized community, often of
considerable size.
The arrangement of houses in
a cliff dwelling of the size of
Cliff Palace, for example, is
characteristic and intimately as
sociated with the distribution of
the social divisions of the in
habitants. The population was
composed Of a number of units,
possibly clans, each of which had
its own social organization more
or less distinct from others, a
condition that appears in the
arrangement of rooms. The
rooms occupied by a clan were
not necessarily connected, al
though generally neighboring
rooms were distinguished from
one another by their uses.

Fine Roads Attract Trade.

1t would seem that in this late
day and age advocating good
roads as good for mankind
generally and business particu-
larly would be unnecessary.
Good roads mean good business.
Have you ever noticed that in
towns Immediately after a street
has been paved or resurfaced,
pedestrians and vehicles begin
to multiply on those roads?
1t does not take long before
everybody, it seems, knows of
the newly paved streets and
many go out of the way to travel
them. Last summer the pave
ment on a street near my home
was torn up orrepatching. The
contractors were so long in even
attempting to get started on the
work that merchants along the
street started suit against the
city for business they knew they
had lost because the street was
impossible.
If good streets and street is
only another name for road
mean so much to the city busi-
ness man, it is to be supposed
they are just as valuable an as
set to the business man or the
farmer located on the highways
Of the country. Good roads, in
the first place are a benefit to
every individual in this big land
of ours. If all roads are good,
the people residing in their i'm
mediate locality find it easier to
get from place to place. The
person making a long cross
country tour finds the journey
! the jov he counted on and not a
trial, as it certainly is where
travelling is bad. In the second
|, place good roads increase the
1 value of property-so real estate
is benefited.
And so l could go on down the
: list the hotel man, the butcher,
the baker, all are benefited
either directly or indirectly, by
good reads; that permit of foot
. or vehicular traffic during al
seasons of the year.

Real Greatness.

Christ has given us a measure
of greatness which eliminates
conflicts. When His disciples
disputed among themselves as to
which should be the greatest in
the kingdom of heaven, He re-
buked them and said: ''Let him
who would be chiefest among you
be the servant of ALL" Service
is the measure of greatness; it
always has been true, it is true
today, and iC will always be true,
that he is greatest who does the
most Of good. And yet, what a
revolution it will work in this old
world when this standard be-
comes the standard Of every life.
Nearly all of our controversies
and combats arise from the fact
that we are trying to get some
thing from each other. Our en-.
mites and animosities arise from
our efforts to get as much as pos
sible out of the world--there will
be peace when our endeavor is to
put as much as possible into the
world. Society will have taken
an immeasurable step toward
peace when itsestimates a citizen
by his output rather than by his
income and gives the crown of its
approval to the one who makes
the largest contribution to the
welfare Of all.-Extract from W.

A snake story, which seems in
credible, hut he says is vouched
for by reliable persons, was told
US on Wednesday morning by E.
L. Bingham. AS the story goes,
the farmers in the Cubbage
neighborhood, have for some
time been losing young pigs and
lambs, and their disappearance
have been credited to a big rattle
snake, which had his home on
the Bush mountain. Last week
a little son of a Mr.. Wilder, ac-
companied by his dog, went out
on the mountain. The dog,
which was some distance ahead
of the boy, was heard to give a
yelp, and a few moments later
come running back to his young
master, dropping dead at his
feet. The boy went on to see if
he could discover the cause Of
his dogs death and found a huge
snake. He went back to the
house and told his father of hi
discovery. Mr.. Wilder shoulder
ed his gun and soon found hi
snakeship, which he put to death
The snake, which was arattler
measured IL feet in length
weighed over 100 pounds, an
had 45 rattles and a button. =

The Farm Dairy.

The condition of the majority
of Kentucky farms as regards
fertility and the physical nature
of the soil, leaves much to be de-
sired. It goes almost without
saying, that certain changes in
management should be made on
a vast number Of Kentucky
farms. There is no one thing
that will solve the whole problem
but the best farmers are quick to
take advantage Of every oppor-
tunity to restore and maintain
fertility.
It is not possible for the ma
jority of Kentucky farmers to
go into the dairy business as
such, but it would probably be
we'll for many individuals. to con-
slider very carefully the advan-
tages of producing more dairy
products, whether they under
take the operation of a regular
dairy or not. 1t would be an ex-
cellent idea for many farmers to
add from one to a dozen or more
cows to their present herds with
a view to shipping cream daily
or every other day and feeding
the skim milk to pigs and calves
1t has been repeatedly showr
in actual farm practice tina
dairying is a type of farming
that improves land very rapidly
1t is of doubtful expediency t
enter into any kind Of specialize
farming under average condi
tions. 1t naturally follows tina
the dairy should ordinarily b,
one of several departments o
: the farm. The products solt
