Although outweighed by an aver
age of twenty-five pounds to the
man, the football team Of the Mt.
Sterling High School defeated the
Millersburg Military Institute here
yesterday afternoon by a score of
% to 0. The locals played an es-
pecially fast game and many old
football players present were loud
in their praise of the excellent work
of the boys.
Quite a nice crowd was present
and coach Robert Nelson is to be

manner in which his team is per-
forming.
Mt. Sterling played the High

far this season High School has not

BOND ISSUE
IS IMPORTANT
And All Voters Should Vote on this
Question Next Tuesday With
out Fall.

The voters of Montgomery coun-
ty, regardless of politics, should not
let their interest in the national ell
ection Tuesday cause them to for
get to vote upon the important
question, which will be submitted to
them, regarding the creation of a
debt not to exceed fifteen thousand
dollars with which to purchase the
necessary land and erect the proper
buildings thereon, for the mainten-
ance of the poor of the county. As
most of our readers know, we have
no such place at this time and
those who are so unfortunate as to
require public support, are kept by
citizens at various points through
out the county. Some years ago, we
did have a poor farm above Jeffer-
sonville, which proved to be very
unproductive and the source of a
great expense to the county. The
Fiscal Court very wisely, we think,
sold same and applied the purchase
price TO some SIX per cent. interest
bearing Indebtedness Of the county.
Upon investigation it has been
found that many counties, in fact,
most counties, are keeping their
poor at very much less cost than
this county. Such counties, however,
all have a fine productive farm, and
some of them are actually self-sus-
tanning.
In order that no one may feel
there is any politics in its action,
the Fiscal Court has designated
Messrs. A. Sid Hart, d. j. Bur-
chett, L. L. Bridgforth and Robert
Howell-two Democrats and two
Republcans-to purchase farm in
the event the bond issue carries.
This action insures every taxpayer
that his money will be honestly eX-
pended and that no graft or waste
will occur.
Those who have not S,vcn the
subject sufficient study shouts do so
at once, in order to intelligently
vote upon the question. Those who
favor it will vote "yes", while those
opposed will vote "no." The ques-
ton will be found on the right side
of the ballot used next Tuesday in
every precinct of the county.

LEADERS, GOOD JOKE

that Kentucky would go Republican
by at least 10000 and possibly
$1,000. We don't know what "brand"
those who gave him this informa-
ton have been using but feel sure
that after November 9TH he will
advise a change. Kentucky is as
sure to go Democratic as the sun
shines in spite Of the large amount
of money dumped into the State by

STRAW VOTE
FAVORS WILSON
Turning Point in Camnaign is Pass
ed and Wilson Appears to be
The Winner.

The straw vote beig taken by the
Cincinnati Enquirer shows that Will
son gained in Is States last week
and that Hughes gained in s and
that there were no important
changes in many others. In the city
of New York the President gained
but Hughes gained upstate.
The Enquirer says:
"The Republicans make no secret
of the fact that a week ago they
were in most pessimistic frame
of mind. They fully realized then
that the eight-hour campaign cry,
coupled with the slogan, He kept
the nation at peace had made dan
gerous inroads into their strong
holds. The Democrats at that time
were commensurately optimistic.
"There is no doubt that during the
last five or six days there has come
a change-whether psychological or
real will be shown by the straw votes
! nov being gathered. The hepubil-
cans sincerely believe that they
have broken the labor swing. They
say the great army of workers
throughout the country are now
turning toward the Republicans on
the issue of permanent prosperity.
The Democrats are not quite so
confident as they were, but declare
that the crystalization of the labor
vote in the Middle West has been
so complete that there is no chance
of defeating their national ticket"
The Washington Post, VIGOROUSLY
hostile to the Administration, in its
leading editorial Monday warns the
Republicans against impending dis
aster on November 9TH.
"When the State of Ohio gives
signs of going to Wilson by heavy
plurality, it is not surprising that
the Republicans are worried" 1t
says:
"Call everything guesswork, if
you like. Stress the fact that no
one can foretell anything. Yet no
one can honestly shut his eyes to
the visible. Mr.. Wilson had un-
questionably gained upon Mr..
Hughes during the latter half of
October.
"Seven wording days remain be-
fore election. Anything may hap
pen, of course, but the history of
previous elections does not disclose
any case in which the last week Of
a campaign upset all that has gone
before, or even materially altered
Nhe trend of public opinion.
"The palpable drift toward Mr..
Wilson is the outstanding feature
Of the late campaign. 1t is the great,
definite fact that confronts the Re-
publican managers throughout the
North. They must meet and master
it this week or it will defeat them"
This promises to be the closest
race in the history of the United
States and all people who prefer
peace and plenty to war and star
walton should rally to the support
Of our gallant president.

SUFFERINGS
ARE ENDED
After Long Months of Patient Suf-
fering Death Genes 10 Mrs.
John Allen Rice.

On last Wednesday morning the
Death Angel visited our midst and
touched with his icy finger the hot,
fevered brow of Mrs. John Allen
Rice and her sufferings on this
earth were over and her spirit
winged its way to the God who gave
it existence. Mrs. Rice had been
quite i'll for several months and in
spite of all that medical science
and kind and loving attention could
do, death was the conqueror.
She was true friend, and her
devotion to those she loved would
make a bright chapter in any life.
Nothing but the thought of the low
ing hand that has removed her can
reconcile us to her absence. While
she has gone from the scenes, the
conflicts, the sorrows and pleasures
Of life, she will still live in the
hearts of those who knew her best.
Her retiring nature led her to hide
her best qualities from public gaze,
bit . .i: CSC Iyvoaiv,i 10 those VINO
enjoyed her acquaintance, yet it
was in her home that her true
worth was most conspicuous. She
was kind, loving wife and mother,
and her devotion to the family cir
Gle had no limit.
The sunshine of love could not
warm her to life nor affection be-
guile her from dropping. Her breath
went out like the exhalation of a
sweetly fragrant minion of the
woodland and in her stead was left
only a holy and beautiful memory
"a memory that will last and sane
tify. "God touched her with His
finger and she slept" the poet
wrote. So may We say of this dear
life-"God touched her with His
finger, and she slept" but not until
beautiful life was lived, noble
example of patience, fidelity to
truth and faith were given. Not
until visions of a heavenly life, in
Christ Jesus, had cheered and il
lumined the valley of the shadow.
And now, that she sleeps, memory
takes up the harp of life, and smit-
ing the strings, finds that her vir-
tues melt into music. So it ever is,
when a life is nobly and divinely
lived. Life will never be quite the
same to those who knew her, while
those who were nearest to her will
lOnS lOI ucI Win uuulttIuDlt long
hgs-long for a mothers counsel
and advice, and a wife's gentle and
loving sympathy. She was a wom-
an of strong Christian character;
patient, loving and self-sacrifcing.
Mrs. Rice had been a member Of
the Christian church for many
years. Besides her husband, she is
survived by one daughter and a Sis
ter, Miss Susie Burroughs and 9TH
er relatives who have the sympa-
thy of the community in their loss.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Clyde Darsie, assisted by Rev.
B. w. Trimble at 2 80 o'clock Fri
