Murder

Is wrong, but it does look like
that some people would have
enough pride about them to cut
the weeds in front of their place
and not have the terrible sight it
is for the passerby to look at.
The law is plain, and the officers
Of the city ought to see to it that
the weeds are cut, it would be
better to abolish the stock law,
and let every old cow in the
County be turned loose and let
them eat off the weeds and grass
rather than have the unsightly
things growing right uEder our
nosa. Barbourville has more
loafers in it than any other town
of its size in the State, and right
in front of these loa fers places
is to be found the highest weeds
and grass.
1t may be that the city authori-
ties may wake up some morning,
and find that these weeds are not
cut. then look out there will be
something doing. You had bet
ter get busy someone might go
before the board, or the Judge
and have some moving around
commence before you are aware
of it.

BID Doin's at the Fair.

Don't be a knocker, 1t is all
right for the Fair Company to go
outside and get a Band. they get
one from a distance it always
brings that many more people to
the Fair. and that of course helps
things out, why not go out of the
Town and County and attend the
Fair. and let the Fair at home
alone. it helps things. and beside
all this go out of Knox County
and have the people come from
other Counties and bring the ex-
hibits and take all the premiums
that would encourage the people
To go to other Counties to live
and to spend thier money beside
all this the home bands will al
ways be here any how to play fer
all the churches, School, Ladies
Aids and any and all other occa-
sions where there is no money to
be paid. no use knocking, every
body ought to go to the Far ana
boost, tell every one what bunch
the directors are. and how well
they love God, Home and Native
land. tell every one that it is for
the guy that comes along with a
gold brick, and that the home
bands ought to he ashamed of
themselves to think of getting
the job of playing for fair right
here at home when we can have
one to come from a distance, for
it helps that particular bunch of
spaghetti eaters, that will not
spend a cent here in Barbourville
nor in Knox County. if these fool
BOYS here at home was to play
for the Fair next week they would
go right straight and spend it
with our merchants right here at
home, and the merchants would
go right straight and put it in
one of our local banks, and that
bank would loan it to some one
of our farmers. or some business
man and it would then go the
round again, right here at home.
We don't need the money, lei
those ringsters that are coming
have it, and we will get rid of it.
So when we need a band when
we have a social for one of oul
churches, sceools or for a funer-
al. we will get that bunch of fools
who have set up at nights anG
rehearsed until late in the night
preparing for occasions where
they always play free, and when
there is a money job we will go to
some stranger and give it to him
so that we will get rid of the
money, and at the same time dis
courage all four of the home bands
and get rid of them all if possible
! So whats the use of knocking.

WILL EXTEND MINNES0TALID
Government Agents Return From Con.
ference at WASHINGTON,


Back in Bemidji from attending a
meeting in Washington, at which all
agents were summoned before Cato
Sells, commissioner of Indian affairs,
Deputy Agent J. P. Brandt says direct
orders were received from the COM
missioner to enforce rigidly the pro-
visions of the treaty of 1855 which
forbids liquor in the Indian country
of Northern Minnesota.
I'VE are well aware" said Agent
Brandt, that some liquor is being
sold in violation of the treaty and we
also know some things that the public
doesn't know. There will be some sur
prises at the next session of court.
To date the Indian treaty has forced
the closing of about seventy-five sa-
looms. In the territory affected there
are about 200. With the coming of
the agents it is believed many more
towns will be closed.

BRITISH PEOPLE SATISFIED
Generally Approve Answer to Amer
lean Protest.

London, Jan. 1.-THE British press
and public accept Great Britain's an.
swer to the American protest against
the right of search" as opening the
way for a speedy and amicable settle
ment of points of dispute.
There was general approval of the
fact that England maintains it's right
to prevent needed assistance reaching
her enemies.
But it was generally agreed that
the conciliatory tone adopted by the
government would prevent any
strained relations with the United
States something England is anxious
to avoid.
1t was admitted at the foreign Of
fee that the present note was pre-
liminary.
The United States is expected to
make definite reply, contradicting
some of the statements of the British
government.
This is particularly so in the claim
made by the foreign Office that the
copper trade between the United
States and neutral countries has in
creased SO, enormously that there is
little doubt that the bulk of the in
crease is expected finally to reach
Germany.
