How to be Loved in Old Age.

How seldom do you see a lovable
old woman, whose age is as beautiful
as was the bloom of her youth And
when you do, you wonder how il has
happened? Well this is how:
She learns how to forget disagree
able things
She did not give way to her nerves
and intlict them on her friends.
She did not expect too much of her
friends:
She made whatever work she had to
do congenial.
She did not lose sight of her illu-
sions and would not think all the
world wicked and unkind.
She helped the miserable and SYM
pathized with the sOrrowful.
She never forgot that kind words
and smile cost little and are treas
ures to be encouraged,
She did unto others as she would be
done by, and her reward is love and
has learned the secret of long and
happy life.

The following is from the Ports
John d. Littlejohn, the editor OF that
paper.
Mrs. A. A. Wilson, of 1887 Highland
Avenue, has recently received the sad
intelligence of the death of her aunt,
Mrs. Roland T. Burns, aged 70, who
died at Louisa Lawrence-c Kentucky
Tuesday, November 10. The deceased
was splendid old fashioned mother
and her husband plain oldfashioned
lawyer of extraordinary brillianry and
whose head was not turned by honor or
prominence. They lived to ripe old
age as lovers. Their home was fun Of
cheerfulness that made the visitor glad
and self confident that they were well
come n,
Way back yonder when the writer
was boy in that good little town
where the Tug and Louisa prongs meet
forming the Big Sandy river we were
often about the Burns home, and we
remember a kindly motherly face who
welcomed us at the door and took us
back through the dining room and
kitchen hating to give us a piece Of

other delicacy that her angel hands had
prepared. And about this time it usual
ly happened Uncle Roland came in
with that friendly beam in his eye,
looking over his spectacles and say
Here you young fellow, | didn't see
you in your accustomed spot last Sun
day" meaning | had played hockey
and didn't attend the Sunday school at
the Methodist church, South, the very
pillars of which We're Roland T. Burns
and his angel wife who has been call
ed to her maker.
| can see constantly before me her
husband, as superintendent OF that
school, the deceased wife teaching a
class. and Mrs. +, r D. Wallace at the
organ, each giving a Jealous offering
increasingly to the building OF relig-
ious characters into the persons who
attended that Sabbath school The
weather was never to Indictment or the
sun too warm to keep these noble char
acters from being at their place Of
duty.
1t is with sigh OF regret breaking
through "A hallowed memory of things
gone before, that we record the death
of Caroline Hatcher Burns. = She lived
to ripe old age-a life filled with good
works and noble deeds done in the
blessed. simple and earnest way that
leaves an imprint upon the minds OF
those who knew her so indelibly i'm
pressed that they will be remembered
for as long as time lasts,
Having lived beyond the allotted
time, she surely applied her heart un
to wisdom" The scriptures say: "The
days OF our years are three score years
and ten; and II by reason of strength
they be four score years, yet Is their
strength labour and sorrow for II is
soon cut off and we fly away"

A NIGHTMARE

Gives point to the fact that excessive OF
irregular eating disturbs the digestion.
Nightmare or "night-hag" has its daytime
correspondence in the undue fullness
after eating, with the belchings and sour
or bitter rising so often experienced after
too hasty or too hearty eating.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is the best remedy for dyspepsia and other
diseases Of the stomach and its allied
organs Of digestion and nutrition. When
these diseases are cured, the whole body
shares in the increased strength derived
from food properly digested and per-
fectly assimilated.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is absolutely free from alcohol and in
furious drugs. You can take it and be
certain you will find it a true blood maker,
tissue-builder, and restorative nerve tonic
and that it will produce no emil Gfter-efect.
Thousands in Kentucky-probably many
of your own neighbors-are willing to
recommend DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery because it has made them
stronger in body, brain and nerve.

ical Discovery in tablet or liquid form

Lexington.-There is no event OF the
year that can more advantageously
claim the time and attention OF the
Kentucky farmer than Farmers Week.
which will be held at Lexington, KY,
January 4 to Z, 1916, under the aus.
pieces OF the College OF Agriculture.
Farmers Week is made up OF the
annual conventions OF eleven state
wide farmers organizations, covering
as many departments OF farming. II
is needless to say that any one at
tending these meetings will come IN
contact with the more progressive
farmers, stockmen and fruit growers
OF the state. There is opportunity
here for interchange OF valuable ex
perience and for making the acquain'
lance OF the most eminently successful
men in all branches OF agriculture.
The schedule OF exercises is as fol.
lows

Wednesday, January 5th-The Ken

Exhibition, for benefit OF visitors, Of
Golden FERNS Sensation (2nd prize
winner Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
1904, at Elmendorf Farm, Lexington,
KY.
Special attention Is called to the
conference on marketing For many
years, agricultural study has dealt
largely with problems of production.
The Standardization OF farm products
and the more advantageous marketing
Of the same have received only casual
attention. II is time for the farmer to
give careful study TO better methods or
marketing farm crops, as well as TO
more advantageous methods OF pur-
chasing supplies Men of wide expert
ence in these subjects, from Kentucky
and from other states, will address
this meeting The regular program
will be followed by general discus
sion of the subject in which all inter
ested are invited to participate. I'm
mediate practical benefits are to be
expected from this conference.
Handsome premium lists have been
provided for competitive exhibits OF
the following products. Corn, wheat,
oats, cowpeas, soy beans, tobacco,
poultry, honey, fruit OF various kinds,
butter, cream, milk and various arti-
cles of womans work. The premiums
include money prizes, medal5, trophies,
merchandise, farm implements, etc.
Chief among these prizes is the Exper-
lment Station Medal which is offered
for the best exhibit in poultry, bee
keeping, dairying, tobacco, farm crops,
womans work, and also for the best
exhibit OF fruit This medal is Of
bronze OF most beautiful and attractive
design. 1t will only be awarded for
really high class exhibits In the CLASH
ficatlons indicated in the above All
of these premiums have an intrinsic
value. Their greatest value, however,
tors winning such prizes, for when
once the habit OF producing the best
is acquired, the exhibitor will never
again be content to be a mediocre
farmer.
Everything in connection with Farm
ers' Week is free.
After attendance at these meetings,
the open-minded, progressive farmer
returns to his home greatly refreshed
and benefited by what he has seen and
heard. and with renewed enthusiasm
for his work.
All OF these meetings and exhibits
have been put At time when farmers
can most conveniently arrange to
leave their work. Reduced rates on all
railroads.
