BLACK STILL AHEAD.

In the race for Lieutenant Cover
nor, James ID. Black, of Barboursville.
Is leading by a safe majority, with II
counties out. over James p Edwards,
OF Louisville.
Black claims that the mountain
counties will swell his majority. Ed
wards claims he will win by fifteen
hundred This. however. seems to be
improbable Of fulfllment, as all noun
Black a majority.
Judge Black issued a statement that
his plurality will be between 1000
and 5000.
Edwards was a running mate OF
Stanley and stands for the county
unit.
Black has openly favored Statewide
Prohibition, and If his election is GER
tain 1t may mean that the dry laues-
ton will be In calcium again. Two
years ago a statewide bill passed the
House and failed in the Senate. Should
the Barboursville man preside over the
Senate IL would give statewide a big
advantage. even though the Governor
may stand for the county unit.
ARNETT RUNNING STRONG.
The race for Secretary of State, still
in doubt. sprung a surprise as some

II appears that Rodman w. Keenon.

Clerk OF the Court of Appeals over
Alvin Steger, OF Owenton, by a small

OUR LETTER CARRIERS.

Again Christmas time is coming
near, and for the past three hundred
and thirteen days your mail carrier
unfailingly delivered your. mail-in
the heat of the summer day, during
our storms, and in the cold winter
rains he has always been there to
bring you the glad tidings from your
friends and loved ones.
Surely these mail carriers are paid
to do their work, but that they are
overworked and underpaid goes with
out saying. If, when giving out your
Christmas membranes, you should
wonder who you have forgotten, think
of your letter carrier and hand him a
small remembrance, and he will un
doubtedly appreciate your thought OF
him.
It is the custom in our Northern
cities to remember the mail carrier
Why not this custom here among
those who can afford It?

WILL CONDUCT RAT
FIGHT IN ALGIERS

Discovery of Two Infected Rodents
Brings Increase in Trapping Force.
DIR. r. II. Creel, of the United States
Public Health Service, visited AL
giers early Monday afternoon to de-
termine upon the character of a
health and rat campaign there. Since
the discovery of two rodent cases in
Algiers DR.. Creel has doubled the rat
trapping force and added five inspec-
tors with the view of intensive rat
proofing.
Considerable elevation and concrete
work has already been done in Al
giers, but with the discovery of the
recent rodent cases it is necessary to
increase the force and engage in the
| improvements Oh a more extensive
scale. DR.. Creel will go to Algiers to
study the area and will Immediately
outline the work that will be rushed
to completion.
The campaign in Algiers will be of
short duration. The area to be rat
PROCEED is comparatively small. An
other favorable condition is that prac-
tically every house and building erect
ed in the last year and half has
been constructed along modern lines,
and according to the ordinances pro-
viding for improvements made neces-
sary by the discovery of plague here
more than a year ago.
The first plague rat caught in AL
giers was trapped in Alix street, near
Pacific avenue. The second rodent
case was discovered in a building in
Elmira street, near Evelina street.
Both cases developed within a period
of two weeks. Up to this time Algiers
had been free from rodent plague in
/ lection.

Gratitude inspires in us the grace

Gratitude is the great original

root Of all selishness. The great all

planet with all its scenes OF revelry
and its riot of sin, beholds but one

Of man the voice of God.
