Mothers Day

Sunday of next week will be cele-
brated as Mothers day, and citizens
generally will observe the anniversary
in a proper manner. Special services
will be held in many churches on this
occasion. Mothers day will be cele-
Pbrated by some, in joyful manner IN
the presence of mother, others, less
fortunate, will find the day tempered
to some extent with sadness due to
the absence of mother
But there are countless thousands
who will on that day think only OF
that mother who to them is glorious
memory of the past.
Frank Zotts, Stogie Maker delegate

who gained for himself the honor OF
beirx the most faithful in attendance
as a fraternal delegate to the Bel
mont Assembly, has the added honor
of being the man who has urged upon
the Assembly to remember Mothers
day. Three years ago he began his
agitatfo nfor its observance, and eacn
year the number of delegates wearing
the white rose has increased, and all
indications are that Franks heart Will
be made glad by seeing all the dele

ON. 1& |. A. Special Meeting
Considers Finance Status

ing the last session Of the legislature
and who's expenses totaled $354.OO.
The trustees not having sufficient
funds on hand had opened the emery
ency fund.
It was moved by Bartlebaugh that
the amount necessary to cover the
present expenses be borrowed, and
that the Assembly live within its re-
sources in the future. An amendment
that a sum necessary to reimburse
the emergency fund be borrowed, was
defeated. 1t was proven that the AS
sembly having assumed the expense
of work don by them for other locals
and organizations that when collected
will leave a nice working fund, and on
that account the amendment was
defeated. The original motion was
carried.
Another question that caused con-
siderable discussion was motion by
Bartlebaugh that there be appointed a
special committee to audit the books
for the year past, note the cost Of
operating the Assembly and compare
it with the annual income and make
all necessary recommendations as to
the elimination of all dead expense.
After considerable argument, which
shows the Assembly funds are going
to b eguarded in the future, 1t was
decided that Secretary Vessel, having
the books, should make this report at
a meeting of the Assembly in the
near future.

The Electrical Workers, of Akron
Ohio, have rounded out another week
of the strike there, and the indications
are that the expected break has oc-
CURED in the ranks of the contractors,
as eight of them have signed the scale

In the hands of the members of the
organization is a sworn agreement
signed by the contractors of that city
stating that they will not recognize or
deal with any member of the organiza-
ton or the officials of the organiza-
ton.
The unionists are going to put them
to the test, and if they retain the
present attitude charges will be PEE
ferred against every man who's sigma
ture appears on the statement. The
charge of organizing in restraint of
trade will be pushed by all the power
back of the international organiza-
ton. The striking Electrical Workers
are winning the good will of the
public by the orderly manner they
are conducting the strike. AS yet no
strike breakers have appeared in
Akron.

Sunday, May End, called special
meeting Of the Trades Assembly was
held. The sense of the meeting was
announced by Secretary Vessel as to
tn best possible way of securing funds
to met the running expenses of the
Assembly. Vice President Greer, in
the absence of Presidnt Higgins. de-
clared the meeting opn for the discus
sion Of the call.
Secretary Vessel in announcing the
call stated that the heavy drain on
the Assembly the last few months,
due to the many labor controversies,
depleted the running expense fund, but
stated that there was fund of $4,000
deposited for emergencies. Delegate
Bartlebaugh asked for the reading OF
the resolution covering the depos1ting
of this fund. The resolution as read
by Secretary Vessel, stated that the
fund was deposited by motion OF the
Assembly to be used. only for emer-
gencies, and broken only by four
fifths vote Of the Assembly.
In making the announcement 1t was
shown that the fund had already been
opened to the extent of $4,000, this
same announcement brought forth a
storm of protest and suggestion to
draw further to meet the present ex-
penses would not be considered for

cussion it was learned that the draw

The Belmont Assembly in session
Sunday, granted the floor to the spe-
cial committee of the Ohio Valley
Trades and Labor Assembly, appoint
ed to confer with this Assembly on
amalgamation.
Chairman Bartlebaugh, in opening
his remarks, made it clear that the
mission was one of Cancellation. HIS
review of the. wasted efforts OF both
Assemblies and his illustration OF
what would be accomplished by the
united effort of both Assemblies as
sembled under the protection OF one
charter, working in harmony one with
the other was listened to with inter-
est. He closed by asking that COM
mittee of three be appointed to meet
with the committee he represented.
Delegate Ebberts, of the O. V. T. &
I. A. and also of this committee, re-
viewed the past, as he was well able
to do, having been delegate to the
Belmont Assembly for a number OF
wears. His remarks were listened to
with interest, as all delegates attend
ing are familiar with his efforts in the
past.
Delegate Calvert followed and made
an effort to show the value of united
action. Particularly was this true of
the Building Trades of the Valley. as
one good Section located in the val
ley would give the builders of the val
lley the weight and prestige that they
felt was necessary to conduct their
oeeoirs to the satisfaction of the men
of those crafts.

BrOnchOs Are Going

The European war promires to
mark the final passing of the
wild horse of the range, the dis
appearance of the bucking bronco
50 long associated with the west.
Even now there are no wild
horses such as once roamed the
ranges, and with the inroads be-
ing made upon the west by the
war his half civilized brother,
the bronco, promises to disappear.
Thousands of horses have been
taken from Colorado, Wyoming
and other western states. Not
only have the British and French
buyers invaded that section, but
representatives of the Italian
government have combed the
country for months. During the
last few weeks am Italian buyer
purchased several hundred horses
and so great was his haste tie get
them to his country that they
were sent by express from Den
yer to the east instead of by
freight. There they were hm-
ried aboard steamer 10 Italy.

TanlaC, the Premier prcpara-

Herndon Drug Co. and which is
being 50 widely discussed in this
State, is being used today by
more than $50, 600 Kentuckians.

10y its use.
Every walk of life is represent
cd in the small army of Ken
tuckians who have been benefited
10y Tanlac and who have testified
to its merits as a medicine of rare
value.
The Taylor-Isaacs Drug Com
pany, Louisville. has sold more
than 90. 900 bottles of Tanlac in
30 days. The success of Tanlac
in Louisville is typical of the
cordial reception the preparation
the predaration is receiving in
large cities and rural districts
where it is being introduced. In
the last six months the business
has grown 10 enormous proper
tions SO large, in fact, that it
recently became necessary TO in
crease the capacity of the Tanlac
plant in Dayton, Ohio, which had
been producing from 5000 to
10000 bottles of the preparation
daily.
The unusual and heretofore.
unused formula composing Tan
lac is, in a large measure, re-
sponsible for the medicines pop
ularity and success. The ingred-
tents, which are gathered from
many sections Of the earth, are
of known curative value.
One ingredient never before
has been used in a proprietary
medicine. This probably con-
tributes more TO the success of
Tanlac than any other one thing.
Its curative power is conceded
TO be most effective and rapid.
This ingredient was discovered
on am island in the Pacific, west
of Mexico.

pressive Service--His-
tory of Church

II Seventy-two years ago the
Christian Church, at this place
was organized by John T. John
son, who had been a member OF
Congress and left Congress t
become a minister. At the time
of organizing this church, he was
the State official of Mission Work
of Kentucky. He was a brother
of Richard M. Johnson, Vice
President of the United States.
| The members built a nice brick
church, which was a credit to the
town in that day. In 1866 q
larger, frame church was erected
on the same lot. Two years age
this church being in need of a
pastor called Rev. J. W. Lyon,
who met the members of this
church for the first time, they
being 50 well pleased with him,
employed him.
During the first year of his
work Rev. Lyon aroused a desire
for a new and better building in
which to worship, and a sub
scription was made. Just one
year from the first visit of Rev.
Lyon, the foundation was laid
for the erection of another church
on the same place where the
other churches had stood.
With zeal, enthusiasm and hard
work Rev. Lyon led his mem
bers on until June 18th, two
years after his first visit to this
church. this magnigcent struct-
ure was ready for dedication.
This structure is of brick and
concrete. The auditorium and
balcony will seat five hundred.
There are nine Sunday School
rooms and a baptistry. This is a
beautiful, well built and well
ventilated building. a very mod
ern church, which is an ornament
and credit to this town.
The same bell which called the
people together seventy two years
ago is the one used now. and was
the first bell ever rung in this
town.
Rev. Lyon invited President
K. II. Crossfeld, PhD., l.. l.. d..
of Pennsylvania University and
College of Bible, Lexington. as
the speaker for the Dedication
Services, who delivered two great
sermons. He is a master of as
semblies and did great service.
1t was found necessary to make
an appeal for help and after the
forenoon sermon the audience
was called upon to contribute
funds to provide for the debt
against the building. The re-
spouse was liberal, the amount
pledged being a surprise to many
present. The subscription was
sufficient to cover the indebted
ness.
A large crowd came down from
Pineville and others attended
from Corbin, Williamsburg and
Artemus and other places.
