washington as . Farmer.

Until he reached manhood, George
Washington never saw a town OF
5000 inhabitants. Our first presi-
dent was born on a plantation and
was brought up In the country. AS a
farmer, Washington was the first
American to raise mules. cultivated
alfalfa as early as 1850. and per-
formed hundreds of experiments. A
soil conservationist in the infancy OF
that movement. Washington seems
to have been the first Of Americas
scientific farmers. His family crest
had blasoned upon it three cinque
foiles"- Indicating that the bearer
practiced husbandry on his own land;
when the greatest of the Washingtons
made asbookplate Of his coat of arms
he added to the old design spears OF
wheat such as he raised at Mount
Vernon. -

PROMINENT CITIZEN

HARvE WILLIAMS FOUND HANG
ING IN BARN-CONDITIO
CRITICAL.

Mr.. ]. II. Williams, who lives near
Taylor Mines, was found swinging in
his barn Monday morning by his
daughter. She Immediately screamed
for assistance and the would-be sui
eide. was cut down and doctors sum-
moned to ascertain If there was any
hope for his recovery. Although in
seemingly hopeless condition life
was found to exist and after many
hours of constant attention he was
slightly relieved. Reports received
here yesterday state that Mr.. WILL
Jams has contracted pneumonia and
that there is practically no hope for
his recovery.
Mr.. Williams formerly served as
magistrate from his district and is
one Of the most prominent men in
the county. He had been in bad
health for several months and it is
believed that temporary insanity re-
suited, which partly explains the
rash act. Friends here are much con-
cerned over the condition of Mr..
Williams.

Resolutions OF respect
Cromwell Lodge No. 6s2, F. & A.
NJ. Cromwell, Ky.
On April 18th, 1916, the messeng-
er which will eventually visit every
home on earth, gave the alarm at the
outer door of our lodge and summon
ed Bro. l.. d. Taylor to pass from this
temporal abode here into the great
beyond; where there is no more
suffering, or sorrow; no more sin, no
more tears.
Bro. Taylor joined the Masonic
Fraternity In the year 1858. He
Joined the Methodist church in his
early manhood days, since which time
he.has been a faithful follower of the
lowly Nazerene and by his admori-
ton and example many homes have
been made happier. His words OF
sympathy have cheered sad hearts
and have given them courage to fight
the battles of life with gladness and
good cheer. ~
Therefore be it resolved: That
though we miss his ever ready word
of encouragement and good advice,
he will ever remain in our memory,
and our consultation will be in the
recollection OF his wise counsel and
ministering hand.
Resolved: That Cromwell Lodge
No. 692 has lost a worthy brother his
family kind, loving father, the
community valued citizen, and the
church q true christian. ~
Resolved: That we tender to the
family our sincere and heartfelt
sympathy and point them to Him
who doeth all things well.
Resolved: That these resolutions
be spread upon our records, copy
| sent to the family. and published In
each of the county papers,.

James ID. Elliott, OF the United States
district court, directed District Attor-
ney Robert Stewart to file an infor-
nation setting forth the recent dis
barment of G.. w. Egan in the state
supreme court and asking for his dis

tice in the federal courts. This ac-
ton upon the part of the district

the court of a certified copy of the
judgment of disbarment of Egan.

gether with a copy of the judgment

Stearns, of Minneapolis, it is an
nounced that efforts to have Mrs.
Schultz, a resident of a farming COM
munity near Marion, deported from
the United States back to Russia
have failed. Charges had been made
with the immigration authorities that
she was not a proper character and
that she would eventually become a
public charge. At the hearing before
immigration Agent Stearns about
twenty witnesses testified that Mrs.
Schultz was a hard working woman
and that her reputation was good;
that she was not likely to become a
public charge, as she has a son who
was in a position to care for her and
was willing to do SO. These wit
nesses were prominent and response
