"ATHlNG OF BEAUTY
IS A JOY FOREVER"

Now that flower bed in the
court house yard has certainly
been "A Thing of Beauty" and
likewise has been very much en-
joyed by all of our citizens, and
we will be sorry when Jack Frost
comes with his icy fingers and
lays it low.
Those beautiful King Humber
Cannas were donated by Miss
Nola Minton of our toN .. the
bulbs were donated and they
were planted by her own hands,
Mr.. Kennedy giving the rich loan
to enrich the bed. We wish
there were more Miss Mintons
in our town, for besides being a
young lady of an unusual amount
of energy we believe we judge
rightly when we say combined
with this energetic nature is
heart possessed of tenderness and
love for well. do we know that
her beautiful flowers. C which
she has an abundance, nave found
their way into many a home of
sickness and bereavement, where
they have added rays of bright
ness to the sad ones. Besides
she and her mother have contri-
buted their lovely blossoms to
their friends on many festive &C.
casIons.
We are proud of such people,
and of all like them people who
are possessed of such admirable
traits of character should be ap-
preciated; and thrice welcomed
to our town.
Let US learn a lesson of Miss
and try to have more
Civic pride, planting flowers and
trees too, and otherwise improv-
ing our already beautiful little
town, until strangers coming in
will say truthfully, Barbourville
is The Queen City of the Noun
tains."
We don't wish to forget Mrs.
Baker of our town who planted
the lovely Chrysanthemums
next the court house wall, we all
know that Mrs. Baker has lots
of Civic pride, for her own yard
and premises show that. What a
beautiful town we might have,
if flowers instead of ugly weeds
were growing in all the waste
places.

If you want real automobile
ride, one that will make you
proud that you live where we
are soon to have the real thing,
take a spin up Big Richland.
You can go on high speed from
the corporate limits to George
Jarvis's store without a Jolt.
Not only that, but you can now
go over the route from Barbour
vile to the Christian church on
Middlefork, the DIXIE HIGH
WAY as is laid out by the Fiscal
Court, and where it will no doubt
be built when the matter is final
ly settled. They have not stop
ped there, but they have put the
road leading from Emanuel to
Gray ir. first-class condition, and
you can now make the trip over
that route into Corbin with all
kinds of ease.
The citizens of that neighbour
hood have walked up to the fact
that they are going to have the
official route of the Dixie High
way through that community,
and they are making prepare
tons to have the tour of inspec-
tors who will pass through here
next month come their way. 1t
is a matter Of fact that they will
go over the route that is in the
best condition, and committee
of these citizens will meet that
inspection committee somewhere
up the road and pilot them thru
that way and over that route.
They will have the road in Il
splendid condition and will in
sist that they come their way.
There has been much said as
to where the road should be
built, and the Fiscal Court has
given it much study, and the
matter has been up before the
State Road Commissioner, who
has gone over this route. They
have taken into consideration
where to build the road so that
it will cost the least money and
serve the most people and they
have finally settled down on this
route. it surely must be the right
way to go. There are eight JUS
tees Of the county. and we are
told that seven out of the eight
have agreed with the State Road
Commissioner that this is the
feasible way to go and it must
be so.

the notion that the subjec: had

But the first chapter of your
book securely fixed my attention.

creasing interest to the end of
the closing chapter. 1t is most
certainly a well written book.
1t supplies a need many like my

just what the busy person and

SPLINTERS OF SPORT

During Darrell Hamlet's exhibition
in Iowa City Monday and Tuesday,
the sport writer of the Iowa City Re-
publican was on the lob throughout
the entire grind. He reached some in
teresting statistics on the exhibition
as follows:
The total number of pins scored by
Hamlet was 23,0S6, with an average
1T 1855 for the 100 games played.
Of these games, Hamlet won So and
lost AZ. Hanlon won 10 games out OF
20 played at the beginning of the
tournament
In making computations it vas
found that Hamlet travelled $1,000 feet
in throwing the balls or almost six
miles. He rolled the balls distance
of $4,000 feet or nearly seventy miles,
from Iowa City to Cedar Rapids, back
to Iowa City and north again to Mid
River. A total of $3.50 lbs was rolled
by Hamlet. He moved nearly IS tons
of balls and the pinsetters picked up
a total weight of 1920 pounds OF
more than 35 tons of balls, assuming
that the opponents rolled as many
balls as the champion.
Toward the last the bowler's right
thumb began to wear and finally be-
came so sore that he was obliged to
abandon its use. Thereafter he used
his left hand and rolled eight more
games with total of 1,139 pins or
an average of 1925 pins per game.

question of Rock Islands status in
baseball was determined.
After careful consideration your
committee unanimously agrees that
the Three-Eye league has no rights
at present to the territory of Rock Is
land, President Tearney having put
himself on record on the floor at the
annual meeting of the national asso
citation in Omaha Nov 1912, 1914, in
the following language taken from the
printed minutes of that meeting:
eff the Three-Eye league failed to
occupy Rock Island at the opening of
the 1915 season, or if the said club
failed to draw satisfactorily after the
season was opened and was trans
ferred from Rock Island the said Rock
Island territory would then be consid-
cred as surrendered by the said
league
This promise of surrender of terri
/ tory was made in the presence of ]. T.
Hayes of the Davenport club, whose
territory, under the fve-mile limit
rule was affected, without protest We
therefore recommend that the claim
Of the Central association to Rock Is
land be granted.
I'VE further recommend that in or
der to insure the people of Rock Is
land that they may be given chance
to support professional baseball that
the Central association be required to
perfect an organization in Rock Island
with sufficient capital in hand to place
club in Rock Island within 20 days
from the date notice is received of
| decision by President Justice, and that
satisfactory proof of the existence of
such an organization shall be furnish
ed to Chairman Farrell within the time
| specified
I'VE further recommend that if the
| Central association fails to start the
| season of 1916 with a club in Rock Is
land, or If it at any time withdraws its
club from that city, the rights of the
Central association to the territory
shall Immediately end
Respectfully,
