STRANGE animal
Attacks Morton Hope While
on Way to Galen Burdens
Place Last Night
THIHG SCREAMED LIKE A CHILD

When Morton Hope wac going
from Earlington to the home Of
his uncle, Galen Burden, last
night about 8 o'clock he was at
tackled by a strange animal just
this side of the "plum orchard. d"
Hope saws he was going along the
path whistling when an animal
jumped over the fence and made
at him. he thought it was D
dog At first and scolded it, strik-
ing a match AZ the same time.
When the match was struck the
thing reared up on Its hind legs
and screamed like a child and
hope started TO run. The thing
soon caught up with him and be
tnrned and struck more matches
and il would disappear for few
steps. It followed him to Bur-
den's house and Hope went In, got
his gun and called TO the dogs.
They would not come, so he pick.
ed one of them up and carried it
to where the animal had stopped
outside the fence. He pitched
the dog toward the animal and it
ran toward the house. The ami
NAL jumped on the dog aud claw
ed it up badly. Hope was una
bic to get a shot at the animal on
account of the darkness and for
fear of killing the dog. As soon
as the dog ran under the house,
the animal bounded off in the
daTkaess, screaming as 1t went.
The neighborhood is considerably
worked up over the matter and
fear the panther or whatever it
10 may attack some little child
going to and from the neighbor-
ing houses or to the COW pastures.
Young Hope was carving lot
of fresh meat last night and this
was probably the cause of the at
tack. A determined effort will
be made to hunt it down tonight
with men and dogs.

League Undertakes Sale of
Red Cross Christmas
Seals

At the meeting Of the Execu-
tive Committee of the Hopkins
County Public Health League
held on Saturday night a detailed
report was received from the Wis
iting nurse, Miss Georgia Frede-
rick, covering the work done
during the fret month since the
organization Of the League. Miss
Frederick covered in detail the
various school inspections she
has made with the assistance of
several of the physicians of Mad
isonville and Darlington, from
which inspection some good re-
suits are already had in the way
OF treatment for trachoma and in
the removal of diseased tonsils
aud adenoids. Plans are at work
to bring about, if possible, the
treatment of all cases of ira
choma, as is required by Ken
tucky. Law. and general co-opera-
tion is expected at the hands of
school teachers and school board,
health officers, and parents of
the children affected by this dis
ease. When those most vitality
concerned realize that thsre is
serious dangar of blindness and
certainty of a spread of the dis
ease If these cases are not treat
ed so as to affect a cure, it is ex-
pected that everybody will as
sist in the movement to cure this
disease and prevent its spread.
Miss Frederick's report showed
that she had visited some twenty
homes In which there were cases
of tuberculosis, 10 many instan-
ces giving personal help and in
structIon as to the proper care of
these cases to prevent the spread
of this dreadful disease.
The League has undertaken
the sale of red cross seals, which
are now being offered by a COM
mittee appointed especially to
have charge of this campaign.
Every Red Gross Christmas Seal
that is sold is a real bullet in the
fight against tuberculosis. The
money received from the sale is
used entirely in the fight against
this disease. These seals last
year helped to support thousands
of needy tuberculosis patients
and gave them a chance for life.
About five hundred thousands
dollars was received last year
from the sale of these seals and
a million dollars is needed this
wear. The good people of Hop
kins County are given an OPP
portunity to take part in this
worthy movement, which not only
raises money for a good cause
but serves to spread the senti-
ment that gives backbone to the
fight that is being pushed by
State and county health organi-
zations. Mrs. Ruby LsffOon, Mrs
j. f. DEM sey and Prof, o. E.
Dudley are the committee in
charge of the read cross seal
