 Mr. Dana's work he calls "a worthy tribute to the brave men who went forth to defend the imperilled coun- try, which recalls with painstaking accuracy their names. their sufferings achievements and triumphant valor.'
 Again the writer borrows from the language of that distinguished son of Norwich, Judge Shipman, The char acterlstlcs which most prominently mark the town of Norwich are earh- est, impulsive, quickly responsive and ferVent patriotism, restrained by de- votion to truth and by sense of the supremacy of justice. And so it has gone on; in every field where patriot ism and devotion to liberty were to be found, there the sons of Norwich have gone. l need not tell you in what q magnificent way and with what a magnificent record this town came to the front in 1861.

Gilman notes that, notwithstanding the sorrows and IoSses of the war so enormous were the demands of the army upon manu- lecturers, merchants and farmers for clothing, arms and agricultural pro- ducts, and so lavish were the expendi- lures of the government in paper money, and so large were the incomes of all who were engaged in active business, that Norwich. during the war and the years immediately fol- lowing appeared to be at the flood tide Of financial prosperity

If you want that boy or girl Of yours to grow up right and be credit to you. do not begin to tell them they are good for nothing when they are young and err. No boy is ever more than half as stupid as he seems to be to his father: and no girl is quite as useless as she seems to be to her mother Too many children are humored in their ill-conceived notions instead of corrected: and too many are ruined by being called names. Telling children they are dishonest or that they are liars, or that they are good for nothing, is not the way to give them confidence in themselves, or to awaken in them a spirit of honor. Children need be led not lambasted- they need be counse1led, not cursed. To start children on the road to ruin just taunt them with your low esti- mate of them. If parents under

Citizens in Mass Meeting Indorse Acts of
President Wilson and National Congress.

N. R. r. officials to the inadequ-
ate, unsightly and unsanitary
condition of the passenger depot
at Barbourville. Kentucky, and
lay before the said officials the
facts which show the needs of the
town and community and urge the
erection of a passenger depot
commensurate with the new and
improved condition of our city
and community, and ask that a
reasonably adequate depot for
the accommodation of the people
vino patronize said railroad be
provided.
We regard the present pas
senger depot as entirely made
quate andvery unsightly. In it's
present condition it is a bad ad-
vertisement for the community
as we'll as the railroad. Hundreds
of strangers are now coming in
to our community, and the depot
gives the first impression. The
impression cannot be good. We
are possessed with the idea that
a new modern depot of reason
able size and convenient arrange
ment would greatly benefit not
only the City and community,
but the railroad company as well.
Therefore we respectfully re-
commend that a new passenger
depot be erected at some conve-
nient point in this city.
Be it further resolved that a
copy of these resolutions be sent
to Supt. O. b. Hollingswcrth,
Middlesboro, XIV, and other Of
ficials of the l.. 4 N. R. r. Co.
and that a copy thereof be furn-
ished the Mountain Advocate for

Last Friday at the box supper
the sum of $34.00 was taken in,
which will be used t. purchase
some much needed song books
for the chapel. This amount
will not purchase over l25 books,
and we really need at least twice
that many for 400 students to
use. We wish to thank Sheriff
Lewis, who so kindly and pro-
ficiently auctioned the boxes off.
The paper campaign IS still on
and we want to remind you to
save your paper for US. If you
will let US know, it will be re-
moved promptly. If, by mistake

'ls He the Laboring
Mans Friend?

a mr.. w. r. Lay says he is en-
dossed by the laboring people of
Knox county,"
The above head lines appeared
at the head of an article which was
published in the McCreary Coun-
ty Advocate in its issue of April
9Th, 1917. and which purported
to be an account of a mass
meeting" held at Warren, Knox
county, in which resolutions were
alleged to have been adopted en-
dorsing w. r. Lay for Circuit
Judge. w. r. Lay did not dare
have such a distorted and false
report published in Knox county
but went as far away from Knox
county as possible to have it
done.
The people of McCreary county
and the Bath judicial district
should know the facts about this
alleged mass meeting" and al
legged endorsement by the labor
ing men of Knox county. Here
are the facts in the case. w. R.
Lay self styled candidate upon
merit. manhood and legal quail
fication" slipped out of Barbour
vile when two or three of his
opponents were in town and
went up to Warren, and with
the help of one of the managers
of the Coal Companies got less
than a dozen voters together and
addressed them, telling falsely
that his opponents had notice of
the meeting. When he had finish
ed his address, Mr.. w. r. Marsee
a large mine operator, introduc-
ed some resolutions which he
and one other man endorsed.
The laboring men of Warren and
Knox county had absolutely MOTH
ing to do with the bogus mass
meeting" and the Marsee resoiu-
tons, Mr.. Lay does not have
the endorsement of the laboring
men of Knox county, on the other
hand it is known that he is favor
ed by certain interests of Knox
county who would hope to use
him to further their interest
should he be elected Circuit
Judge.
Instead of being a candidate
upon merit, manhood and legal
qualification" as he claims to be
his conduct in this matter shows
him to be a can 1idate upon false
pretenses. deception and misrep-,
resentation. Let no laboring
man in the 34th Judicial district
be deceived by this little scheme
of w. r. Lay and his coal oper-
tor friend Mr.. w. R. Marsee,
who himself is a coal operator.
and is the law agent for the
Cumberland r. r. Company, and
the Carter Coal Co., and every
time a working man is hurt by
either one of these companies,
and brings suit he is on the job
in Court and out of Court doing
all he can for these Corporations
and against the working man.

Lay Will Not Carry Knox

My friend, Mr.. w, r Lay, who
is my opponent for Judge of this

ty, has had considerable to say
in the press about his strength
in Knox County. | have not
had much opportunity yet to
learn the political conditions in

cate in articles written by him.
self, says his friends claim that
h III carry Knox over me by
four to one.
Now, no one in Knox County
says or claims any such thing.
Mr.. Lay knows better than that,
or if he does not, he has a great
surprise in store. | have hun
dreds of letters from leading men
covering ev cry precinct in Knox
County. They say frankly Mr..
Lay is not in it in this County.
| am having some of these let
tiers published in this issue of the
Mountain Advocate and want all
the voters of this District to read
them. Space and expense will
not permit me to have but a few
of them published. These let
tiers are from ministers, farmers,
merchants, laborers and profess
sional men of all classes.
My friends can rest assured
that | will carry Knox County
by q big majority over all the
other candidates.
You do not have far to seek to
find the reason for this. | think
the people who know both of US
will tell you that have had as
much legal training in law schools
and as much experience in the
practice of law as Mr.. Lay or any
of the other candidates. The
republicans of this County gave
Mr.. Lay a good Office for eight
years and at the end of his term
he turned against the party and
did what he could to destroy it,
and tried to elect a democrat to
succeed himself over the Repub-
lican nominee.
The republicans of Knox Coun-
ty know Mr.. LAYS ingratitude to
the party and they are not for
him now. They know | have al
ways been true and loyal to the
party and to the people of Knox
County. Mr.. Lay says he has
been Endorsed by the Knox Coun-
ty bar. He has a few indorse-
ments of members of the bar,
but nearly all of them are demo-
Gratis. The democratic politicians
have not forgotten Mr.. Lays
good services to them a Few
years ago. The republicans of
the Knox County bar have not
Endorsed Mr.. Lay.

HARTMAN And DOGS
COMING TO BEMIDJ|

Interesting rules were promul-
gated for the Red River-St. Paul
Carnival derby, the longest dog race
ever run, a distance of $40 miles
from Winnipeg to St. Paul. 1.-THE
object of the race" said Rule II, Is
the earnest endeavor to encourage
the breeding of better sleigh dogs,
and the better care in handling them,
as we'll as to provide an object les
son in the use that can be made OF
these hardy dogs, which are invalu-
able to their owners"
, The start of the race was at II
noon on January "a, and the finish
shortly after noon just ten days later.
Teams consisted of not less than four
dogs nor more than six, and each
driver was compelled to finish with
the same animals with which he
started. Whipping of the dogs d's-
qualified the guilty driver. Each
man carried one days food, and stops
were made for rations at designated
points.
The racers made an average of so
miles a day through deep drifts and
weather below zero nearly all the
way. Albert Campbell was the win
ner, beating William Grayson by
seven minutes. Joe Metcalfe finish
ed third, Gabriel Campbell fourth
and Fred Hartman fifth.
Hartman and his dogs will appear
at the Grand Tuesday, with the
thrilling films of the race itself, the
movies thus showing spectacle
that it would be impossible for any
one to see in all it's phases in per-
