THE COURT ORDERS READ
AS FOLLOWS:
/ On motion of G.. Detherage
and second by Leroy Peace. the
/ following resolution was adopted.
Whereas bids were submitted
and opened by this Court as pur-
suant to a former order of this
/ Court on August LIST, 1916 by
various bidders for ceataln
grading and construction work
on what is known as the Fight
ING creek route from Barbour
vile to Lee Coles and
Whereas all bids were rejected
at the said meeting, the Court
being under the impression at
the time that there was some le-
gal barrier to prevent the said
bids being considered and accept
ed. and the Court is now advised
that there is no legal barrier to
prevent the consideration and
acceptance of some one of the
said bids, if the Court desires to
do so, and
Whereas. some various favor
able bids to the County were re-
ceived and opened, and the
Court is now Of the opinion that
it would be to the best interest
of the County and State to con-
slider said bids, and to accept
some one of the said bids and it
is therefore now ordered by the
Court that the order made by
this Court on August LIST, 1916,
rejecting all of the said bids be
set aside and held for nought,
and the said order is now set
aside and held for nought, and
this further appearing that all of
said bids are now before the
Court, and the persons bidding
on said work. it is now ordered
by this Court that said bids be
considered by this Court the
same as said order had not been
made. but it is further ordered
by this Court that if any one Of
said bids are accepted, that the
successful bidder be required to
execute bond with a surety COM
pany as security for the faithful
performance of the said bid.
On motion Of G.. b. Detherage
and second by l.. T. Mills and
adopted it is ordered by the
Court that the Engineers get up
an estimate of the cost of a grad
ed dirt road from the point
where the Barbourville and Ar
temus road enters the Barbour
vile and Fighting Creek road,
by way of Artemus and to the
County bridge over Cumberland
river at Artemus, and to report
same to this Court.
G. b. Detherage, ESQ, in cast
ing his vote to the foregoing
resolution, explained his vote as
follows: Gentlemen, | have
been for the Artemus route all
the time, and have done my
best to have the pike road 90 to
Bell county line through Artemus,
but in view of the fact that all
of the engineers, both the Coun-

versely on this route, and a ma

to see it. or to hear it; but we
have actually got some Big
boys" in the trenches now.
Mr.. Hughes the Republican
nominee for President is head
ing the column. he is a real
fighter. Then there is Mr..
Fairbanks, who is a scrapper of
the old school. We do not stop
there, there is the invincible
Theodore Roosevelt that is get
ting in the harness: Then we
come on down to the other lead
ers. The Republican party, the
party of Lincoln, the party of
| Garfield and Mckinley, all of
whom gave their life for the
principals that have been burned
into the patriotic American citi-
zen, composing the Republican
party by the fire of purity, that
principal that makes every Amer
lean a freeman. That principal
that makes this Country under
the management of a Republican
administration free from war tax
es in time of peace. The Repub-
lican party is the party of pro-
lection to every American indus
try, it is the party that believes
that every man is worthy of his
hire. 1t is the party that never
lets the flag of this country trail
in the dust. 1t is the party that
will this fall let you talk to your
friend or neighbor without putt
ing a war tax stamp on your
voice. 1t is the party that offers
to the American people a man
who knows how to do things. A
man who will command the re-
spect of even the little country
of Mexico. A man that can
make demands of Germany, and
they will at once treat with him,
he can make a demand Of Eng
land, and they will as anxious to
treat with him as Mexico. The
Republican has no special leader,
every member of the Republican
party is a leader, they are for a
principal that makes them natur-
al leaders; they are men who
want to do something.
The boys are all in the trench
es, they have on the full equip
ment, and are in the fight for
victory, and they are going to
have it, YOU need not doubt that
for one minute. The race in 1912,
was a signal defeat for the Re-
publican, not because of its
weakness, but because of its
division. That old sore is healed
up and haired over; we are all
back togather stronger and bet
ter than ever before, we have
the old time fighters that went
in different directions then, back
togather now, they are looking
to the common good of all, they
are a sold phalanx against the
common enemy, the Democratic
party.
The Democrats will not carry
a single State North of the Ma
son and Dixon line, they will
lose some below it. They will
lose Kentucky if the vote comes
out. and it is counted as cast, it
will be overwhelmingly Republi-
can. All we want, all we ask, all
we need is a quare deal, and
when we get this Kentucky is
back in the Republican column
and there to stay.
Then let the boys in the
trenches" stay there until the
last gun shall have been fired,
until the smoke has cleared away,
until the sky shall have become
its bluest and we can look and
behold the Democratic party
buried under such an avalanche
of ballots. that Gabriel himself

GIRL LEAVES
BED IN SLEEP,
DIES IN COLD
Body of Young o
Found beneath Tree on
a Farm.

GREENWICH, Conn.,, Jan. 20
Beautiful 19-year-old Miss Margaret
Curtiss, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Julian W. Curtiss Of this place, got
up out Of bed in the middle Of the
night and, wandering out into the
yard in the height Of the storm, suf-
fered exposure that probably caused
her death.
Miss Curtiss retired, apparently in
her usual good spirits, about half
past eleven o'clock at night, and
when relatives went to her room to
call her in the morning she was
missing. A search followed and her
body was found dead about three
hundred feet from her home. She
was fully dressed and indications
were that she had been wandering
about the premises some time before
being overcome by the cold and
freezing to death.
Efforts were made to keep the
news Of her death from the public,
and reports were circulated to the
effect that she was still missing from
home, it being at first thought that
she had gone to the home of a
friend.
Julian W. Curtiss, who is vlce-pre-
sident of the A. G. Spalding Sport
ing Goods Company, Of New York,
told reporters that his daughter had
a habit of walking in her sleep, and
that he was Of the opinion that she
wandered from the house fully dress
ed.
DR.. John A. Clark. city physician
OF Greenwich, was notified Of the
death. He would not give out a state
ment other than to say that Miss
Curtiss probably was insane.
Miss Curtiss returned to her home
here for a visit with her parents.
She was a student in the Cook board
ing school, Westbrook, Mass, and
was popular in the younger social
set Of Greenwich. Constable George
T. Jones said that upon her return
she was the recipient Of invitations
to several functions, and her mother
forbade her attending them. owing
to the condition Of her health. This,
he said, preyed upon her mind.

Teacher More Like Mother Of
the Flock Than Typical
"~Sch00im'arm."

GARY, Ind. Jan. ga day in
the Gary school and half an hour
with William A. Writ, unfolds won
ders. 1t explains why Writ was
urged for superintendent Of Chicago
schools and why New York begged
his advice.
What is 1t about this place that
fits one like a rocking chair made
to order?
The answer is TITS the family
spirit"
The Gary school day is from eight
until FIVE o'clock. But let nobody
imagine there are overworked chill
dren In the Gary schools. Primarily
the extra two hours from three to
five. are meant to keep the boy and
girl out of the street. 1t Is a crime.
according to Mr.. Writ, to let those
two hours be wasted when they can
be put in with interesting play in
the school.
No Work; All Play.
For there is no work in the Gary
schools. 1t is all play-meant to
be 80. And by the appearance of the
children you know this to be so. The
Emerson, like the bigger Froebel
school, accommodates the high school
pupils. the grade children and the
kindergartens all at the same time.
Again 1t Is the family idea. The
younger ones have constantly before
them the example OF the older chill
dren.
For instance, a kindergarten room
may be placed next to the botany
room or the physic laboratory. How
the big eyes stare into those more
dignifed quarters, how the little
imaginations plan to reach there some
day.
AS to changing, there is no set
order, no rule, no stiff lining up.
In class and out, pupils are not sub
jected to the constant "Sh!" ad-
monishment. The teacher is more
like the mother of the flock or the
big sister, and down in the shops
the boys appear to be working with
father. 1t is Just because there are
no set, %prison-like rules. that there
Is no noise and no disorder.
Playground a Feature.
And some group is playing all Of
the time. There are about five acres
Of playground about the school and
a wading pool and garden for the
spring and m And the audi
forum, gymnasiums and swimming
pool are seldom empty.
Some group is always playing.
When n or three groups return for
arithmetic or drawing, another group
goes out to romp to music in the
auditorium, or down to the city
market.
And things are so arranged that If
the parents Of a child so desire, a
play hour may be put in at the family
church for religious instruction. The
churches have co-operated with Mr..
Writ in this.
At the Froebel school all the
tables, chairs, cu%pboards and cases
were made by the boys. A boy work.
ing in the shop gets his time card
and is paid sixty cents an hour. At
the end OF the week he Is given a
check which he deposits in the school
bank and when he has saved $50
he has made a credit toward gra-
duation.

Among Which is That Of the
State against Former Sher-
if Flanagan.

CHARLESTON, Jan. 29.-Among

ton was denied, dependents OF 4
miner killed in the Maryland work
ings Of a shaft mine having its en-
tragce and tipple in West Virginia.
The supreme court holds that COM
%pensation should be allowed. rs the
mine is a West Virginia operation,
e. though its entries extend un-
der the border line of the two states
and coal is being mined from rooms
located in the adjoining state.
Another important decision was
that in the case of the state against

lower court which decided in favor
of Flanagan In a suit by the state

BY THE SUPREME u

a business Of which the making Of
working contracts Is an incident, has
implied power to make an original
promise to a stranger to pay for sup
plies furnished by him to contractors
for the work, as a means Of enabling
them to perform their contracts.
Whether the oral promise to pay
n person for merchandise deliver
ed to another, is original or collat-
eral, depends upon tho intention OF
the parties, to be ascertained from
their situation and conduct. the
words of the promise and all the cir
cumstances attending the tranac-
tlon.
Instructions given on the trial Of
such an issue, requiring the jury to
make their finding depend upon Ger.
tain inconclusive facts constituting
only a part Of what transplred be-
tween the parties, are erroneous and
