and respect 10 the departed,
among them being Mr.. and Mrs.

sang a beautiful duet. There
were some beautiful floral offer

hearts who shed bitter tears as

of twelve short months ago came
into their minds.

JUDGE J.F.GORDON
By Giving Mr.. J. P. Lanes Letter
Which Explains All And We
Publish His Reply Below.

Paducah, KY, Jan. II, 1915.
Judge J. F. Gordon,
Madisonville, KY.
Dear Sir:
In your letter of Dec. 30, 1914,
which was directed to me and
which published in a number of
the papers in this Appellate
Court District, you said: What |
want to know now is whether this
money was paid to Judge c. S.
Num-, while assisting his father.
You say it was paid to hired
stenographers: but your state
ment is, of course, only Hear
say as you do not claim to have
'disbursed it yourself, nor to
have seen the disbursement.
s You are correct in your state
.ment that did not disburse nor
see the disbursement of the mon
ey represented by the salary
checks which endorsed and re-
turned to Frankfort, as explained
in my former letter to you, but
since the receipt of your letter of
Dec, 80, 1914, | have received a
letter from J. P. Lane, who has
personal knowledge as to how
the money was disbursed, and |
take pleasure in enclosing to you
herewith, Mr.. Lanes letter
which is as follows:
1 Frankfort, KY, Jan. 5, 1915.
Andrew NJ. Nichols, ESQ.,,
- = Attorney at Law, Y
Paducah, Kentucky.
Dear Mr.. Nichols:
| have read your reply 20
Judge Gordon's inquiry about
your salary while serving as Sec
retary to Judge T. J. Num-.
have read Judge Gordon's re-
sponse Of date Dec, 80, 1914,
and from this response it seems
that Judge Gordon is unwilling
to accept your statement that
Judge Num- employed a steno-
grapher in Frankfort to do the
work at the same salary you
were receiving, and that you en-
dorsed and returned to Judge
Num- all of the salary checks,
because you were not doing the
actual work, and in order that
Judge Mum might pay the par,
ties who were doing it.
AS ! am the Stenographer who
was employed by Judge Num- tC
do the work. wish to say that
all your statements are true il
every particular, Judge Num-
paid me 500 per month. In fact
my payments came at the rate Of
S25 per week from his own pock
ct, and your return salary check.
at the end of each month rein
bursed him.
You are at liberty to max,
such use of this letter as you ma!
see proper.
Your friend,
J. =. Lane"
i | am of the opinion that Mr.
Lanes letter answers your in
Quiry in every detail, and | bel
to remain,
Very truly yours,

H'Why not appropriate 81, 500
for this purpose upon..the condi-
tion that it will be spent upon
the first road in the county whose
citizens will agree to supplement
this with 50, 500 more. which will

give you s., 600 more to go with
this? This can be done easily,
and is there a business man in
Trigg county who wouldn'tglad-
ly put 81, 500 for a deal, even he
had TO borrow every cent Of it!
Certainly there is not a one.
Then are the members of our
Fiscal Court going to admit that
they are the poorest business
in the county, and allow this
IS, 500 to slip away from them
We think not, but it is time they

This is the whole proposition

fails to act, will contribute 81, 00O

fit to make an appropriation o
81, 800, Trigg county will have
$4,000 to spend on its own road

there'll be $40, eco worth''of road

best study because of an attractive

There are those of us who do not
appreciate these surroundings as we
should. We break off twigs, we throw
paper on the campus, We walk across
the grass and make unsightly paths,
we spit" on the floors and fill the
rooms with the contamination of to-
bacco.
We do these things when we are
just a bit thoughtless. We should con-
slider the whole University as part Of
our homes and keep it accordingly.
Especially should We do so from now
on through commencement. Many of
our parents will be numbered among
the visitors here next month and the
impressions they carry back home
will mean much for the University in
the future AS students We should
be more careful and thoughtful.

COLUMBIA'S LOCUST TREES.

Truly Columbia is a city of locust
trees. For blocks you see these trees
Haunting their branches covered with
gren and wax clusters of flowers
above the house tops. You pass under
where they border the street. and the
humming of bees fills the air like the
humming of wind through prairie
grass. Their fragrance makes the air
heavy.
The people of Columbia take every
advantage of the locust flowers. A
dainty miss at the junior prom wore
a great bunch of locusts on a pale
green gown. Yesterday an automobile
filed to overflowing with the flowers
passed up Conley avenue. A Columbia
no. tess banked her empty CRATES with
the waxen blossoms.
