dent of the Farmers National Bank at
Irvine. tried to coerce Mrs. Belle Uuder-
wood from testifying for the Common
wealth on the trial of the case of the
Commonwealth VS.. T. Q. Wallace, &c.
in the Clark Circuit Court. Many wit
nesses will be heard from Estill and the
testimony may bring out. some sensa-
tional disclosures.

WARNING

In this trying time of sleet, rain and
snow, the wires of the Telephone and
Electric companies all over the state
are breaking under their added bur-
dens. This brings tragedy to the
home of every door. The schools
should take special hour and teach
the children not to touch a wire seen
on the streets for it may bring instant
death to them. Every person should
notice and take due caution for their
safety. You can't tell when a wire is
loaded with death: In Mt. Sterling a
few days ago, fine young fellow saw a
wire hanging from the telephone lines
and thinking that he would tie it up to
save some one fall, took hold of it
and met instant death. In Louisville,
a young man kissed his wife goodby
and stepping into the street, the tip of
his umbrella came in contact with a
dangling wire and he was dead in
second.
So long as the method of death car
rying wires are allowed to remain to
the menace of life and property, so
long may we expect accidents of this
character. Therefore, there should be
a campaign of instruction to not touch
a wire however innocent it may look.
If you suspect danger to the public,
investigate and notify the company.
The wires of this city are not in the
best of order and in some places the
insulation has been worn off for many
years. The city engineer should look
into this and report any manner of
negligence to the city council. In some
places in this city, the telephone and
electric wires cross each other and APP
parently without the proper insulation
and should they come in contact with
each other, which is highly probable in
this kind of weather, dire may be the
results. There is death lurking around
the home Of every family SO needlessly
exposed and on behalf of the people,
we call attention to the tragic deaths
above named with the hope that our
warning may be needed and that no
home may be saddened.

A NEW COUNTY PROPOSED

There is a plan on foot to divide
Pike county and make two counties,
the new county to be named Mayo.
Pike county contains LOO square
miles and is larger than The State of
Rhode Island.
Under our system of County and
State Government, the proper devel-
opment of the State is retarded as long
as the counties remain so large 1t is
hard to properly govern such counties
when some portions are so remote from
the seat of government. Tie question
as to whether or not it will be pauper
county, should not weigh much in the
question.
However, there is another question
that should be carefully watched. This
may be only an effort of the liquor
men to get a wet county in Eastern
Kentucky. If this is the motive, the
plan should be nipped in the bud.

If you do not like the Municipal
Christmas tree idea, then do not lend
it countenance either by contributing
to it or attending it's exercises. There
are thousand other ways in which
you can show your philanthropy. The
poor are with us always and your dol
lar will buy for them just as much as
any other mans dollar. There are no
strings tied to you. Out with it and
buy something for the poor But good
friend, come to the Christmas tree and
catch the true spirit of christianity.
Then open up your purse strings and
ACT your religion. The little that is
spent in tinset for decorations on the
tree, is but a bagatelle The dollars
that it will bring out of-hiding places
for the use of the poor are many.

Vulgar
Advertisements.

No liquor or other ads. that

dency, will be allowed in our
columns.
We will carry in our paper
Sermons, Temperance read
ing, Children's page, No
mans page, a Farm page and
many other features of gen
eral reading matter by the
best writers of this and
other days.
People should be careful
as to the character of the
papers that enter tn cir
homes. A vicious paper can
destroy your children quicker
than all the bad influences
of the street. That is because
the children know that their
father and mother give the
paper endorsement by bring
ing it into their homes.
We will print this year
Six Serial Stories of the fin
est literature, viii h, if
bought in book form, would
cost you six dollars. Besides
this we will have short, select
stories that will appeal to
each member of the family.
These stories will grip the
interest of the children and
will cultivate a taste for read
ing of the best character. In
short and in fine, we intend
to keep this paper on an
elevated plane. exalted in
every respect, believing that
in doing so we serve you and
ourselves best.
