TO SHIP DIRECT TO PACKERS
I. w. Jones, Local Stock Dealer Cir
cumvents Quarantine at Cincy

Thurlow W. Jones, of Stanford,
who is one of the largest cattle ship
pers in this part of the state has been
greatly hampered in his operations
the past few days Or -ccount of the
quarantine placed on the Cincinnati
and Louisville markets, on account of
mouth disease. Mr.. Jones has quite
bunch of stuff on nand ready for
shipment but has been compelled to
hold it back until the regulations are
lightened again. He has made ar
rangements, however, to send one
load of hogs direct to a big pack
ing firm at Columbus, Ohio, this week
instead of sending them through the
usual channel of the Cincinnati mar
kets. A commission firm sold a ship
ment for him in this way and he will
ship direct to the packing house.
In this way he will avoid the quaran-
tine which is still in effect on the
Cincinnati stock yards.
Mr.. Jones bought a bunch of %
hogs from ]. Frank Smith that aver
aged 40 pounds, and which cost him
six and a quarter Genus a pound He
got a drove of 16 head from Will
Horton, of Waynesburg, that were
lighter, only weighing about 1875
pounds each. He paid the same fig
ure for these. From Tom Brent he
purchased eight calves at $3.50 a
head Monday and sold to Murphy &
Hughes, of Mt. Sterling, who were on
the Stanford yards Monday buying
beeves, half dozen head at $50.

MRS. SALLIE CABELL stage.
Liberty, KY, Feb. 4, 1915.

Liberty, KY, Feb. A, 1915.
When Mrs. Sallie Cabbell Stage
died last Wednesday morning, earth
lost a saint and heaven gained an
archangel. Mrs. Stagg was woman
endowed with every virtue that glor-
ifies her sex and redeems humanity
from the blight of sordid selfishness.
AS neighbor, her answering phil
anthropy exemplifie3 the Samaritan,
who shamed priest and Levite, and as
wife, mother and step-mother, she
was model of affection and service.
If in misguided indulgence she ere
ated burden, or accident cast her
under, she neither shared nor shifted
it, but bravely, uncomplainingly bore
it.
Supremacy unselfsh, as human can
be, her delight was loving service to
others.
A grander, sweeter Christian char
acter who merits to be canOnized, her
loving friend, who offers this feeble
tribute, never knew; and that in
scrutable decree should have snapped
the silken cord just in the mature
bloom of her motherhood can only
be that she was too good for earth.
To know her was to love her.
knew her long, and may God in kind
ness temper the anguish of the be-
reaved.
FRIEND JOAN.

Picture "Zudora" Discontinued.

The serial motion picture play,
which has been produced at the op-
era house IN several chapters, Under
the auspices of the Woman's Club,
has been discontinued on account of
poor patronage, due it is believed to
the fact that the show had to be
given on Wednesday nights, when
prayer meetings were held in town.
1t was arranged so that one perfOr-
nance would be gwen after these
services were over, but the patrons
evidently did not desire to remain
away from home that late, so the
club and the opera house manage
ment was able to secure a cancel
lation of the play, after showing
about five chapters. Season tickets
for Zudora which were sold by the
club members will be honored at
the regular Friday and Saturday
night shows at the opera house, so
that there will be no loss to any one
who has purchased them. The series
of pictures shown in Zudora seemed
to lack the punch" and interest
that would draw the crowds.

New York, Feb. 9.-Mrs. Caswell
Saufey, wife of Lieutenant Saufey,
U. S. N, stationed at Brooklyn Navy
Yard, yesterday was the first woman
to drive or fly an aeroplane over
New York City successfully. She
landed, unhurt and not the least
frightened, in the navy yard after a
forty-minute flight. After leaving the
yard, accompanied by Lawrence
Sperry, Mrs. Saufiey drove the ma
chine up the East River, across Har-
lem and down the Hudson, across the
skyscrapers of lower Manhattan,
around the Statue of Liberty and
then up the river to the navy yard.
The only thing which bothered her,
she said, was the chill of the air. She
plans another flight in the near fu-
ture.
Mrs. Saufey is with Lieut.. Saufiey
who is member of the u. S. Aero
Corps, at the Brooklyn navy yard,
having been sent there for the win
ter instead of to Florida, as they
had expected when leaving Frank
fort, where they had spent Christ
mas. Lieut.. Saufey has recently
been promoted to the position of In
structor at the Aeroplane Station,
and is rapidly advancing in his ha-
ZardOuS profession

SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURES
Regarding Recent Fires, May Be
Made, Say State Fire Marshals.

According to limitations dropped
in Stanford this week by Assistant
State Fire Marshals George T. Helm
and John Evans, of Frankfort, some
thing in the nature of a sensation
may be developed shortly with ref
erence to a couple of fires which have
recently destroyed some valuable
property in this county. The Fire
Marshals spent several days in this
section, pursuing their Investigations
and said that they practically have
the evidence complete, but were not
ready to make anything public re-
garding details or the CONGREGATIONS
which are suspected of having been
of incendiary origin. They intimated
however, that when the disclosures
are made, they will be of sensa-
tional nature.

cured in all of them by the defend
ants. Virgil and Jim Gooch, of Kings
Mountain, who were accused of

Terry and Jesse Farmers over a pipe
at the Meals Creek church last Sun
day afternoon, the latter got out a
warrant for Mr.. Terry charging him
with making an attack upon him with

Seven Years Without Losing a Day

Fred Baumann, Jr., who is mana
ger and "chief cook and bottle wash
er" of the Stanford Creamery, has
been working for that enterprise

and sold 4,17e pounds of butter
gain of 1850 pounds over January

a pound for butter fat which amount
ed to over S1,100. A nice little
sum for pin money for the house
wives of this immediate vicinity.
