A TRIBUTE
Ills a time for memory anC

" 'Tis time for memory and
for tears"
Having known ID. X. Rawlings
intimately for number of years
/ have yet to meet a man who
could excel him in lovable quail
tiles. All who came in contact
with him acknowledged his supe-
rior intellect, digniied bearing
and kindness of heart.
Being a broad minded man of
wide experience, a close student,
his advice was sought, not alone
by large clientele, but by men
of his profession at the bar of
every court where he practlced
law. Possessing some of the
noblest and finest qualities, gen
erous to a great degree. staunch
and true to his friends, he will be
greatly missed.
His death is bereavement that
will be keenly felt by all who
knew him, and he will not be for
gotten
Mr.. Rawlings was admitted to
the bar at the early age of nine
teen years, after having passed a
rigid examination by some of the
most astute lawyers at Barbour
vile, KY, who wrote on his Ii
cense 1--WE find him exceedingly
young but exceptionally well
prepared. Afterwards he grad
uated from the Law Department
of the University of Law. at
Valparaiso, Indiana.
For years he has been consider
ed one of the ablest lawyers in
Eastern Kentucky and of natural
legal ability. the peer of any
lawyer in the State.
Mr.. Rawlings was a leading at
torney in numerous cases arising
from the Clay, Perry and Leslie
county feuds and has been en-
ployed in every civil case of i'm
portance in Clay county, especial
ly since he began the practice of
law.
About twelve years ago he
married Miss Grace Johnson, of
Clinton, Ky. The devotion char
acterizing their married life was
such as is rarely seen. Besides
his wife he leaves a son, d. X.
Rawlings, Jr. who no doubt will
some day reach his fathers plane
as a lawyer.
1t was Mr.. Rawlings good for
tune that in his last illness and
death he was surrounded by those
who knew and loved him best in
life. Nothing that loving atten-
ton and skill could do to prolong
his life and ease his sutferings

f1udhOleS The Cher Source
of Trouble

/ On a clay or gumbO road mud
holes usually cause the most
trouble. As water is absolutely
necessary for the existence Of Il
mudhole. any treatment, whether
temporary or permanent in char
acter, must provide for getting
rid of the water. The first step
is, therefore, to DIG a trench to
the side and allow the water and
mud to drain. If necessary, open
up also the side bitches. Fur
thermore, remove all Of the soft
mud left in the mudho,c. The
bottom of the trench should be
filled with broken stone or coarse
gravel 50 as to provide a drain 20
prevent any further accumuIa-
ton of water. Gravel is the best
material for filling the old mud
holn. If gravel is not available,
use the best earth at hand. lamp
ING it down in > or / inch layers.
If possible, spread a li,tIc Gravel
or sand over the new fiji, which
should be made slightly higher
than the adjoining road surface,
The best treatment Of all, how
ever, is TO keep the drainage in
good condition. Serious mUdho!cs
will then rarely develop.
Don't Try TO fill a mGdho'c
without first draining oJt the
water and removing the softmud.
Don't try to fill it with large
stones, because if this is done
there will soon be two mudholes
instead of one. Don't try to fiji
a mudhole with sods or similar
material which absorb water
readily.
On an earth or gravel road ruts
are best treated with the drag.
Don't be afraid of dragging too
often during a rainy spell, If
