GOOD INVESTMENT.

Painting is the best wood preserva-
tive yet discovered. 1t is the greatest
home beautiher beyond question. II
is the best investment home owner
can make on his premises. 1t is a
good investment if the home is intend
ed for q permanent residence. because
it preserves the wood and makes the
home attractive. 1t is a good invest
ment if the house is on the market.
because it invariably induces better
price than an implanted structure.
To paint your home and barns and
outhouses is good business. 1t is good
citizenship, and it is splendid invest
ment, viewed from any angle.
The paint that pays you to use, that
has proved good investment can be
found at McRoberts Drug Store.

Of cleaning up by burning up old papera

MOVING IN RIGHT DIRECTION

Kentucky is moving in the right di.
rection. She is divesting herself of the
lethargy and fanaticisms that have
kept her in the list of plodders. She
is awakening to a realization of her
needs and recognition of her posi-.
bilities.
There is widespread demand for
better roads and highways all over the
state. as is evidenced by the alacrity
with which the fiscal authorities and
the people respond to the demands for
appropriations and bond issues to meet
the crying need for permanent
thoroughfares.
Good roads mean better schools.
better schools mean better citizenship.
better citizenship means everything for

WALKER.

A feeling of the deepest gloom and
sorrow pervaded the entire community
Tuesday evening when it was announc-
ed that Mrs. Lewis Walker had died
suddenly at her home on Water st.
The death was doubly shocking because
il was not expected and sorrow is left
in many homes beside the one left so
lonely and desolate. In the death of
Flora Ziegler Walker, one has been
taken from our midst, who, in self
devotion to the good of others. in kind
ness and love as wife, in tenderness
and affection as mother, in loyalty as
friend and in constancy as christian
had but few equals and no superiors.
Poet nor Itist has ever been able to
portray the grave in the colors of
beauty. Bryant in the Hymn of
Death" could not make the subject
beautiful; and yet the cemetery with
its marble and its dead, the chair that
has no occupant and the vacant place
in the home are all mellowing and up
lifting. They bring the best of human
nature into the fulness Of vigor. crowd
ing back selfshness and impressing US
with the value of beautiful life. 1t
Is the broken ties at the grave that
prompts us to fuller appreciation of
the tenderness of the ties that are not
broken; ard so while we mourn the
loss of our dead we may rejoice there
is no cloud so dark that there is no
light behind it, no sorrow so poignant
that there is not balm for the wound
it inflicts.
In the death Of Mrs. Walker beauti-
full life has been brought to close that
began in Cincinnati, Ohio, thirty one
years ago. On December l4th 1911
she was married to Judge l.. l.. Wal
ker, who together with her twenty
months old son, Charles Jones, survive
her. Much sympathy is felt for the
bereaved husband and motherless boy
and for Mr.. and Mrs. r. thinner, with
whom Mrs. Walker had made her home
