"SIEET" OUT OF STYLE;
CALL 1T "GLAZE" NOW

Washington. Dec. 27.-The old
fashioned "sleet' is going out of
style this winter before the newer
"icestorm" and glaze" Weather
Bureau officials reported to-day in
their campaign for more accurate
terminology for various kinds Of
frozen rain. Sleet is officially de-
scribed as small globbules of rain
frozen before striking the earth.
When rain freezes after falling and
forms a CLASSY coating on the
ground, trees and wires the condi-
ton is called glaze, and when this
is severe and accompanied by wind
il is reported as an icestorm. The
Weather Bureau hopes to eliminate
what it considers improper use of the
word "sleet," as il has caused sub
stitution of the term tornado" for
Cyclone" when a violent storm of
small diameter is meant.

He had installed among the men an

With the pardon in her hand she went

Kilmer free. Mrs. Booth sent him
TO Chicago and he was taken to tho

THE HOME COMING.

The little city has been stimulated
this week by the return OF scores OF
sons, daughters and former citizens.
Perhaps never before have SO many
who formerly called Hartford their
home spent the holidays here. 1t is
great TO see the familiar faces and
sningIe with old friends on their old
stamping ground. 1t is good also
for those who have been away to be
at home for a few days, at least.
The return OF sons and daughters
who have made good in other fields
Is an honor TO any community and
their presence should be and is a
source OF Joy, not only to relatives,
but TO all good citizens. Turn the
town over to them.

BENNETT OBJECTS To

(By Capt. Bennett.)


My Dear Editor:ESome days ago
in RENTING what happened to be
my 25th subscription to The Repub-

had been retired from the active
service and would probably hereaf-
ter reside in Ohio county.
You stated my old home was near
"Beda." Well, have this much to
say. 1t might have been, on Monday,

(Which does not exist now was at
that time named Beda. but was plain
old Buck Horn as it had been from
the earliest settlement of the State.
1t seems Hartford, otherwise known
in early Kentucky history as Bar
nett's Fort. had in prior years main
tanned settlement. There were none
otdcr nearer than THE Yellow
Banks" (Owensboro) in that portion
of the State. But after Gen.
Waynes victory at Fallen TimberS,
Kentucky County was opened up for
settlement, and later about 1792.year
of admission, saw the towns of Buck
Horn (now Beda), Buford, Pleasant
Ridge, and Masonville, all traders

low Banks" trail.
None of these names have ever
been changed except our poor, little
old Buck Horn, and l challenge.
since it had borne this name for
nearly 100 years. there was no occa-
sion then, nor has there been since,
nor is there now. to change the
name of this town. The only occa-
sion that might be for such proce-
dure would he the case of two towns
of the same name in the same state.
Such does not exist in Kentucky. nor
