All teachers having contestants
| in the recent town contests should
, urge their pupils to prepare as thor
Oughly as they can for the county
contest, which will be held in the
training school building, June 10, at
1920. I have few more copies Of
| the spelling list which may be sent
to pupils on request. Any contest
| ants who are willing to give a reel
tat1on or a paper at the county con-
| test are requested to notify me
promptly, giving the name of their
subject. Teachers and parents who
can come will be welcome.
Teachers examinations will be held
at the court house, June and 8,
second and third grade subjects Of
Ifered.
Attention of school officers is
again called to the new law, set
ting the date for the annual school
meeting on the first Monday in July,
at 800 p. m.
School boards are requested to
meet as an auditing board on the
Saturday just preceding the annual
meeting. Full and itemized reports
by both clerk and treasurer must be
read at the annual meeting. II is
very essential that these matters he
properly attended to.
Town clerks are also requested to
meet with the several district clerks
in their respective district, at a
time fixed by the town clerk, prior
to the annual school meeting for the
purpose of perfecting the annual
school district reports.
In many of the rural schools the
libraries are inadequate, some being
so small that they are of little value
to the school, | would respectfully
recommend that appropriations Of
from ten to twenty dollars be made
at the annual school meeting for the
purpose Of strengthening the library.
This does not include the text book
library.
In several districts the school
grounds are not in satisfactory condj-
tons, needing filling and grading
and the removal Of stumps and large
stones. This may very properly be
brought to the attention of the vot-
ers at the annual meeting.
Lastly I would recommend that
nine months school be maintained in
every district, if we are to have sat
isfactory school results.
| still have a small quantity Of
choice seed corn for school children,
which will be forwarded to applicants
on receipt Of five cents postage.

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it a
local disease and prescribed local RENE
dies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease. and therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
Constitutional cure on the market. 1t Is
taken internally. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars

What Memorial Day Means.

It is the solemn contemplation Of
what the civil war and its cOnse-
quences really meant in the history of
our country that makes Memorial days
celebration most valuable. 1t is re-
ligious regard for the pillars Of pOpu-
lar government, for the principle of
liberty regulated by law, for the preser-
vatiOn OF popular representative insti-
buttons, which this days ceremonies
should conaecrate and strengthen. On
this day it is the high duty of all the
people to revitalize their love Of their
country and renew their devotion to
the limitations of it's constitution
which have made it permanent and
useful to the people and to reject with
stern and fintlike front all light sug
gestions Of change in those principles
which it has cost centuries of struggle
and hecatOmbs of lives to secure and
maintain.-William II. Taft

car and n heavy lumber truck,
bruising him about the body just
below the shoulders. The boy
was brought over to town on the

Hyden, KY, June ID. During the
present term Of the Leslie Circuit
Court all the candidates for the repub-
lican nomination for Judge of the
Court OF Appeals have been to this city
and all spoke here on the first day Of
court. Each man presented his claims
for this Bopipation, and each was qni-

the people Of leslie county have thor
ouglhy made up their minds, II the
crowds that have gathered in and
about the court house this court have
been representative crowds, and their
decision is to vote for Judge H. @.
Faulkner, Of the neighboring county
of Perry, for this nomination. The
people have no quarrel with any other
candidate, but they know Judge Faulk-
ner, have seen him tried as Judge on
the bench, and can rely on him abso-
lutely. Therefore, they have made
up their minds to be for him. He was
Judge of our circuit court for several
years, and has been praeticing law in
Leslie county for thirty years.
Representative men from Clay and
Laurel, and other Cumberland River
counties have been here this court and
from the reports brought here it would
seem that Judge Faulkner will carry
all Eleventh District counties that are
in this Appellate District. He had
his race made in these counties before
he announced publicly his candidacy.

some of the farmers to get rid Of
the pests.

A PARIS FASHION

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer l ger to adopt the latest fads from Paris; 1 they may be glad to know there is one I style which they can import with profit as well as with pleasure. A new style | of marketing has been adopted over | there since the war, and since it has not been given up one may assume that
 it has proven successful.
 | To reduce living expenses, Parisian housewives club together in groups of five or six and select one of their num- l Der to visit the central markets-which
 in Paris are called "halles." When an | article sells for 20 cents a pound or three pounds for 50 cents, this shopper | can buy six pounds for a dollar and apportion the saving of 20 cents among | six people. In large weekly market 1 ing these little savings amount to some
 thing worth while. She also saves the Fear fare of the other five.
 In Paris markets there are other fea- I lures which one does not meet with here at home. For instance, there is the institution called "the cutter" Sup pose the buyer for a half dozen house. wives decides to buy whole sheep; she takes the carcass to the cutter. He cuts l it into six portions; then the house. wives draw lots for the best pieces. If | the other housewives have accompanied the purchaser they pay according to the value received; if they have remained at home they trust to the luck of their lot and divide the cost of the sheep equally.
 Far be it from anyone to suggest to
 the prosperous American woman that

Can Alabama Come Back

T will believe anything I hear now in regard to football game results" said Dr. James E. Dedman. T was certainly surprised when I learned Sat urday that Alabama had been defeated by Tulane, a much inferior team.
 Alabama has a great team, as demonstrated by the fact that she de- feated Sewanee and held Georgia Tech Ito two touchdowns, and I cannot ac- count for its defeat, unless it was over confidence. Alabama never had a chance against the New Orleans eleven last Saturday and their defeat was decisive.
 T am looking for the Crimson to stage brilliant comeback against Georgia here Thanksgiving Day. The alumni of the two institutions are working together to make the game a big success. A tip-top game has not been played here on Thanksgiving Day for several years, and a record crowd should attend. Georgia has the edge over Alabama, but the Kelley boys will give Coach Cunningham warriors an awful battle"

LUKE M,LUKE SAYS

When they have been married for a whole "A hours she will gaze into his eyes and ask him if he really and truly loves her as much as he did when they were first married
 A man can make a fortune with a common school education. But his son has to have college education to know how to spend it.
 A man wouldn't mind his wife losing her temper if she would only lose it permanently.
 A man can be cross-eyed, bow-legged and have face like a mashed-up pump kin pie. But that doesn't keep his wife from imagining that he leads a double life when he is downtown.
 One reason why every wife should have a good disposition is because her husband is going to impose on it.
 It doesn't matter how it looks. Ii it is stylish a woman knows that it is becoming.
 A man will admit that his wife has her faults. But don't try to knock his dog.
 Once upon time there was a woman who didn't want what she knew she couldn't get. All fairy tales begin with once-upOn-a-time
 This is a queer world. There is more joy over one sin that is found out than over 99 sins that are forsaken.
 When a man does stop to weigh his words he is surprised how many of then it takes to tilt the scales even one six teenth of an ounce.
 It is usually the man who always dodges jury duty who does the most hollering about the verdlcts rendered by juries.
 One reason why people like a dog is because a dog will not wag his tail and pretend to like you and then bite you as soon as your back is turned.
 Nearly every man has fool middle name The reason for this is because his mother wanted him named after hel family and his father wanted him named after his family, and the name Is the result of a compromise.
 The man who is always waiting fol something to turn up is the one who is always getting turned down. When a handsome mother has homely daughter people don't wait to see the father to know who to blame it on.

FAMOUS HORSEBACK RIDERS

From the Philadelphia Ledger
 Buffalo Bill Cody it is believed, holds the record for the longest horseback ride of which there is authentic record He score pony express riders in the sixties. On one occasion young Cody-he didn't become Buffalo Bill until some years aft erward-rode without rest for s22 miles.
 When the pony express was started for the purpose of carrying mail from St. Joseph, Mo-, to Sacramento, Cal, dis tance of 1866 miles, it was planned that each rider should cover 75 miles a day on three different horses.
 It was soon found that 25 miles was too much for the horses for regular un- broken galop, and the distance was re- duced to from 10 to 12 miles. For that distance every horse was pushed to his limit
 The shortest time in which the entire distance of 1866 miles was covered by pony express riders was made in March, 1861. They carried Lincolns inaugural address to the Golden state in seven days and 17 hours, an average speed of over 1 10la miles an hour.
 rider named Haslam dashed off 12C | miles in eight hours and 10 minutes. An other pony expressman covered one 10= mile stretch in S1 minutes, which is bet ter than some of the Rocky mountain railroad limited trains can do. The news that Fort Sumter had been fired upon was flashed from St. Joe to Sacramento in eight days and IA hours
 Jim Moore once rode 2SO miles at an average speed of IS miles per hour. The | horses were the best that could be ob- tained, and, as stated before, they made short runs of from 10 to 12 miles. No wonder that sometimes letter had s27 worth of stamps upon it when carried under such extraordinary conditions!
